Crazycrab got a reaction from StaceyPowers in Relaxing, low pressure games with focus on exploring and/or building?
No Man's Sky with all the improvements since it launched. The aforementioned "My Pet Dungeon" DLC for War for the Overworld is really good as well.

Crazycrab got a reaction from kingpotato in The next gen race is now officially on...
As the title suggests (or at least of the time of produce) the race for 9th gen supremacy has officially began with not only the official announcement of the next Microsoft Console, the XBox Series X but with the announcement of it's first game from it's acquired first party studio Ninja Theory. It is a sequel to it's critically acclaimed Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (which I love), Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.
Microsoft have officially fired the first shot, and it's got to be said from a fan of single player, story driven games like me... It's a 50 calibre.
Your move Sony...... I can't wait!

Crazycrab reacted to kingpotato in Open world games ?
In that case for FPS Borderlands is a good option, as well as Far Cry anything from the 3rd game an up, and GTAV

The Borderlands Series comes to mind, great looter shooters with a tons of weapon types and great comedy. There also the Far Cry series and although more of an RPG than an FPS I'd also consider Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas.

Crazycrab reacted to Shagger in Dose the VGR forums have a Discord server?
I understand, and you have a point, Discord can take activity away from forums. It happened at another community I was part with, but that was much larger community that was more focused around community play and basically started using Discord to replace Teamspeak (PSA, teamspeak is a garbage app), so it didn't affect the activity on the threads too badly. I won't say anything else about that community other that it's problems and collapse came for different reasons. They're technically still active, and I was a game leader and even a moderator over there for a while, but I'm long over wanting anything to do with them.
Anyway, like you I am keen to hear other member's thoughts on this as well. It can help communities grow, but it really depends on what is said communities focus.

Crazycrab reacted to DC in Dose the VGR forums have a Discord server?
Hi @Shagger, thanks for creating this thread. I'm appreciative of how quickly you've become involved with our community. It really means a lot.
I am personally against a Discord because this is already a pretty tight knit community as it is and my concern is that a Discord server would take away from the activity on the forums. It's already easy for people to communicate here through PMs, various forum threads, and the General Chat. I'll leave this topic open for you to reply to and others to weigh in but I think it's best for us to continue without Discord, at least for the time being.

And if there isn't one, I think it could be a good idea to have one. Live chat and discussions between members through both text and voice, mod tools and lobbying to play games together. Discord has free and very well polished apps on PC and mobile devices, so can be used as a chat server between PC and console users. AI've seen a lot of communities use this service to great effect. I know I'm new, but I think it's something worth considering.

Crazycrab got a reaction from kingpotato in dumbest ways you've died
This is the most embarrassing I've ever done as a gamer. It's going to take a bit of explaining so bear with me.
This incident concerns Final Fantasy X. For the sake of anyone who has never played this game before I need to explain for context. Each character has a unique ability called an overdrive. For most character's it's a powerful attack but in the case of Rikku it allows the player to combine items for various effects.
On one particular playthrough I wanted to charge Rikku's overdrive for a high level battle. However, the only overdrive mode she had available was the default "Stoic" mode, so the overdrive gauge only goes up when the character takes hits and it's VERY slow. So I went to a low level area where the enemies where levelled just high enough for damage to register so I could charge Rikku's overdrive. It was taking forever so I cast slow on my own party and haste on the enemy so they would get more turns and charge Rikku's overdrive faster...... If you are familiar with this game you can probably see where this is going and currently facepalming right now!
Instead of getting more turns, they got ALL the turns and I had no choice but to sit there red faced for half an hour as these low level fiends very, very, very slowly annihilated my end game level party! I have never felt such an idiot in my entire life!

Crazycrab got a reaction from DC in I am the Crazycrab!
To answer your first question, yes I am the reason you keep scratching!
In a semi-seriousness I am the Crazycrab, I've been a gamer for my entire life, I mostly play single player games, also a fan of tech, heavy metal, wrestling and terrible movies and most unfortunately am brother to Shagger who you have almost certainly seen post a load of nonsense on here.
I look forward to making you all itch!

A great example I can think of is the "My Pet Dungeon" mode from Dungeon Keeper 2. At your own pase, without risk of attack, make the perfect dungeon within the games mechanics. No challenge? Wrong. You have to unlock the privileges with some challenges that lock certain privileges behind paywal... wait, no, doing stuff in game . I know that's mad these days.
War of the Overworld, the spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper, also has this game mode. Buy it. Play it. But also, pay for it. It wouldn't be right if I didn't point out this feature is a paid DLC, but I swear this game is worth it.

Crazycrab reacted to kingpotato in How often do you replay your favorite game?
I as well I constantly replay my favorite Open world games, GTA V, SKyrim, Read Dead Redemption, and most recently Spider man, Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero dawn. But linear games l only tend to play them once a year if I can.
