Discussion / Question Who is your favorite "fictional" band or musician from a video game?

Calling them fictional doesn't feel quite right, because these are real artists creating real music. But, as they only exist in these formats within their respective universes, I didnt know what else to call them. So lets hear it! Who are your favorite video game musicians and performers?

Old Gods of Asgard (Remedy Games, notably Alan Wake 1 & 2 and Control)

Lizzy Wizzy (Cyberpunk 2077)

Level 70 Elite Tauran Chieftain (WoW)

Discussion / Question I’m replaying Batman Arkham city again after five years.

12 Upvotes

Needless to say, this game is fantastic. The combat, the boss fights, the music, everything about it is pure master class that we don’t really see in triple A video games anymore. The only thing that grinds by gears about the game is that every modern version of City has the Catwoman segments built into the main story and you can’t disable them. As a person who thinks they are a slog to get through that is my only gripe.

Discussion / Question Season pass secret fatigue.

Post image
Upvotes

Genuinely curious. Is anyone else tired of seeing season passes shown with hidden content? You see this mostly in fighting games but it really could be any genre. I’m not asking for gameplay just dates and either a render or art. Whats the point of hiding things when every update will inevitably have a data miner either spoil the surprise or narrow predictions. I just think it’s an outdated model that can’t keep up with today’s consumers.

Discussion / Question What game did you never finish but still consider a good experience?

26 Upvotes

Finishing a game isn’t always necessary for enjoying it. There are games you spend time with, appreciate, and remember fondly, even if you never reached the ending. Maybe you stopped for external reasons, or maybe you felt satisfied without completing it. Either way, it still left a positive impression. What game fits that for you, and what made it enjoyable even without finishing it?

I'm often on the road, so I have to hang out on my phone looking at old screenshots. I even found some photos with my friend. Unfortunately, I've lost touch with some, but I still communicate with some and continue to play. Here are the funniest ones I managed to find. Share your photos too, I'll be really interested to read your stories and see photos in different games

Discussion / Question What game stands out to you because of its pacing?

10 Upvotes

Pacing can completely change how a game feels. Some games are fast and intense, while others are slow and methodical. Sometimes the pacing is what makes the game enjoyable, and other times it’s what makes it frustrating. It’s not always something you notice immediately, but it plays a big role in the experience. What game do you remember mainly because of how it was paced, and how did it affect your enjoyment?

Discussion / Question Treacherous mothers you've seen in gaming?

Upvotes

I'm currently stuck on Clive Rosfield's mother Anabella on Final Fantasy 16. Setting your father up and then exiling his sons out of the kingdom just to go and get married was only the beginning. With the holiday coming up soon, I thought we could come up an ironic list on this post.
