Currently, I'm in between games. Tried Divinity Original Sin 2, my first CRPG, but it felt overwhelming. Planning to revisit it during Christmas break.

Gave New World a shot, found it boring, got a refund. I would rather spend those $20 on something better.

Enjoying the Tony Hawk remaster, likely to finish it in the next week or so.

Playing GTA IV, but it's gotten dull after 3 hours. The story is interesting, but the gameplay feels like I'm just running errands.

Yeah same I just had to login to the shitty Rockstar app

I'm thinking about getting the game with a friend during this sale. It looks great

I can personally imagine a better screen, speakers, controls, ergonomics, cooling, another USB C port, slimmer and lighter, etc.

I know that most of these things are already good, but they can always be improved. We've already seen other handheld PCs do some things better so I imagine Valve can improve as well

Whenever I hear this quote I also think of the developers/publishers. They need to have a good reputation so people buy their games.

I think that's why EA, Blizzard, Ubisoft, Activision, etc sales have gone down. I will not say that gamers react fairly when it comes to unfinished game releases, but it takes one bad game to ruin a developer. Especially when you consider how small the margins are or if they are publicly traded. Even developers with good games have recently been going out of business because it's not sustainable.

I also think of their legacies. Especially in a post-steam world, a game with a good legacy will continue to sell for much longer. I don't think a game like Watch Dogs ever got rid of the stink surrounding it, even though it isn't a bad game to go back to nowadays.

Same. I wonder if they'll ever release Spiderman. I know that God of War is coming soon too

For the last 4 years I go back to Minecraft at the beginning of the year with a friend so I'm excited for this year's play through in 2-3 months

Recently started my first play through. Enjoy!

I recently started playing Divinity Original Sin 2, and I went through this problem as well until I changed the way I approached the game.

I just let go of trying to make the most optimized decisions and instead just make the decision I, or my character would make (if I'm role playing).

I just realized that no matter what decision I make, it will still lead me to finish the game. If I really want to, later I can go back and play it again to see more of the game. Only if I like my first play-through though.

I'm just now learning this. I have told people for years that I didn't want to do it professionally, but people convinced me to do photo shoots for them. I somehow ended up doing about 9 photo shoots in the course of two months. It really did take all the fun out of it.

I hate the deadlines, the communication, and the pressure of it. I like being in control of my photography, I don't want to give the control to other people tbh

I guess my confidence and knowledge did grow a lot, but I don't want to keep doing it

Unrelated, but LowSpecGamer on YouTube has some great videos about the Gameboy's story and they are great. I recommend them to everyone

I agree with you for the most part. I do believe that mobile gaming is the future just bc of cheap it is to produce. I can see more and more games being optimized for ARM chips every year.

Yeah mobile gaming is the reason why gaming is a bigger industry than Hollywood or even the music industry. It's just far more accessible than any console or PC will ever be. It only makes sense that businesses will start to focus more on it.

I believe that the only reason Microsoft paid so much for Activision Blizzard isn't for COD or the other IPs they have, but more for King. The owners of Candy Crush and plenty of other mobile games.
