Sorry, I've actually been putting this off because I couldn't decide. I've made my mind up now and I've decide to go with @Justin11. Very active and meaningful in his engagement both in the community and on a more personal level.

Let's be frank, WWE and 2K games have set the bar pretty low and show no sign of improving anytime soon. As a consequence, this may be the best shot we have at a decent wrestling game in the near future. So I say good luck to them.

Morality and how it relates to abortion
Shagger replied to Techno's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion
It's kinda difficult for anyone to attack you before you have even stated how you feel on it. None the less, you are right. Let's keep it civil, everyone. On topic and for me it's very simple. Nobody has the right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body and women should have the right to do what is in the best interest for he physical and mental well being. It's in the best interests of everyone involved if, buy the would be parent(s) own admission, that they are not in a favourable situation to have a child at that time. If you are in that situation and are having sex, use contraception, you should never be in a situation where an abortion is something to consider, but things happen, so that option should be there. My biggest problem with the anti-abortion (and it is that, the "pro-life" tag is bullshit) ideology is that none of thier arguments really make sense. A fetus doesn't have feelings, senses and certainly not thought or anything resembling sentient behaviour until months into the pregnancy possibly after birth depending on what specifics you wanna bring up. These idiots hide behind the Bible in much the same way a lot of homophobes do, but that is a valid excuse for nothing. You want religious beliefs to dictate your actions, then fine, nobody's holding that against you, but that does not give you the the right to decide the fate of other people. The worst part is there sheer refusal to comprise on this. Irresponsible people who just didn't bother to use protection ( another thing religion seems to have a problem with) is one thing, but why deny this to rape victims? Why deny it to woman who, for one reason or another, pregnancy and/or childbirth would be particularly dangerous from a medical standpoint? No, they have to go through it all because God said so. It's bullshit. -
This goes back to one of my earliest post on this forum on this thread. That, for me, is an example of how Demon Soul's is difficulty done wrong. It's the same reason I hate games like Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey as well. It's all about that "trial and error" approach. It's a false, yet more frustrating way to make a game hard. You try, and the game by design decided you die. You try again, die again until you do what the game, and only what the game, wants you to do. Most likely something cryptic and nonsensical. I hate that philosophy to difficulty because the only thing about the player it really tests is thier patience.

Well, I wouldn't be doing my part for VGR if I didn't point out this sponsored offer. but to be real trying to find a good chair is never easy as it's often difficult or impossible to know exactly how it will feel once it's in front of your desk (or whatever the set-up is) in your own home. To me the more adjustable settings and options a char has, the more likly it is you will find a set up that works for you, but that also means most likely upping the cost. Yeah, this is never an easy thing...

What would be the price of a pc that can run starfield ?
Shagger replied to kingpotato's topic in PC
I highly doubt that you will need and 8GB graphics card to run this game, especially considering that Bethesda are still using the creation engine for Starfield. If you're serious about building a new PC, building it with a certain game in mind would be mistake, it's the wrong reason to do it. Think about how future proof you want the system to be within a certain budget. You will obviously want to think big to spend te next few years playing AAA titles at 4K, but you can build a PC that will play AAA games for a few years if you intend to play at 1080p or 1440p. -
Squid game style video games that are actually good
Shagger replied to Kane99's topic in Video Games
I'm sorry @Kane99, but why create this topic and not provide examples? The Squid Game TV show only launched a couple of months ago, so any "game" that shares similarities to it that is more likely a coincidence. For for this topic to make any sense, you're going to have to provide some examples of what you're talking about. -
I work for a big engineering firm that, among other things, operates as a contractor in service to the Royal Navy of the UK, more specifically in shipbuilding and ship repair.

No. Quite frankly my job couldn't be further from the video games industry and I'm actually thankful for that. It keeps gaming very much where I want it in my life, as a hobby.

Goes to show it is possible to make deadlines by being realistic with those deadlines. Games can come out on time and possibly even ahead of schedule when the project is managed responsibly. However, it's still too early to give Sloclap full praise as we still don't know what state the game will actually launch in. If it is not up to snuff, this would actually be all the more embarrassing for the studio. I'm thinking I'm going to be more optimistic this time, though, and the game looks cool. It's nice to have a more optimistic story for once, so thanks for posting this.

36. I was around 5-6 years old when I played my first video game.

Been playing video games for over 30 years. Damn, that makes me feel old...

Em.. Mirrors' Edge Catalyst was a sequel to the original Mirrors' Edge... Anyway, the series is dead. I just don't see EA bringing this back.

I understand why people are concerned about this given how "The Trilogy" was handled. However, for one to feel concerned about how well Rockstar and Take Two would handle a GTA IV remaster, one has to recognise there there actually was something to ruin in the first place. I don't. I hated GTA IV. It was a fussy, annoying, humourless chore of a game, nothing like the PS2 era games. I know the Rockstar and Take Two couldn't care less about the quality of "remasters", they made that perfectly clear, so even if I liked GTA IV I still wouldn't want a "remaster" because they would cock it up. So either way, you won't see me caring about it, but knowing I'm in the minority with my opinion on GTA IV, I hope Rockstar show thier fans more respect if they were to re-master it, unlike what they have done with The Trilogy.

I am so close to locking this thread because people keep on bringing up games that very well known and even popular and those people know that perfectly well that they are. @Justin11 is only the latest one to do so, this has been happening consistently. People are more than free to discuss whatever games they want, but on the appropriate threads. If people don't stop deliberately steering this discussion on this thread to games that they know are popular I will lock topic.

Welcome to the VGR community.

For the purposes of this I'm going to discount add-ons like the SEGA-32X and the Atari Jaguar CD, but consider them notable mentions because one looks like a toilet and the other looks like something you would drop in it... For a stand alone, mainstream console, I'd have to go for both versions of the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom PAL SNES/Super Famicon Design NTSC SNES Design Now, before somebody goes insane, I am NOT dissing the console itself. It's a beloved classic for many very good reasons, but if you actually stop and look at them, there is little to compliment. The NTSC SNES was designed by somebody who lost his pencil case and only had a ruler left. It's very "white goods" in appearance apart from that weird ridge in the middle. Were they trying to make it look like a bicep or something? It really stands out and just doesn't look it it should be there. The PAL SNES/Super Femidom is, if anything, even worse. It's so dull, I'm struggling to even come up with anything to say. A kid back in 1991 would have to know what it was to regard it with any excitement. Compare it to it's big rival a the time, and I think you'll understand what I mean; Whilst the SNES looks like something your mum would wash your cloths in, that look likes a Tie Bamber. Enough said.

It's not a massive difference, but it's neatened things up a little.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the Scourge system is a free update to the existing free-to-play game. The in game purchases I think are mostly sold from the in game shop, but the Epic Games Store listing shows some of what's available externally. Why this is different to the Steam version and, as far as I can tell, the console versions, I don't know. Maybe those are packs exclusive to the EGS version? Either way, all I can suggest is download the game and see what's on the game's store.

What game are you most looking forward too in 2022?
Shagger replied to Techno's topic in Gaming Forum
Horizon: Forbidden West. Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of my very favourite games, so there was no way I couldn't be exited for a follow up.
