Also, I hate that cheat codes basically no longer exist as a result of trophies/achievements. Like, just disable trophies, etc if people use a cheat, but don't completely remove them

achievements isn't the reason cheat codes stopped existing. this is:

This isn't an unpopular opinion, but an underrated axiom that the dialog of thr resident evil 4 merchant should be the dialog of every vendor in every video game.

The new Guild Wars 2 expansion does them fairly well. You'll trigger about half of them just by exploring and doing basic stuff on the new maps, at which point you can click to find out more about the total achievement. They're all tied to exploring the new maps and discovering miniquests. Aside from one or two they've all been really fun. And absolutely none of them are required.

FF14 has achievements as well, both grindy and mundane. Nothing important locked behind them besides a few unique mounts, titles, and pieces of cosmetic gear.

I've been meaning to go back and play with this mod because the lack of seamless maps essentially made the game unplayable garbage despite being a really cool enhancement of the original thief gameplay.

i liked it before but now it's a proper thief game that doesn't pale much in comparison to the first two

I love glowy graphics in video games. They make everything stand out so that it adds to the user's excitement. Just look at this example:



It's very easy to see and fun to play, yes?

Naw, that's Death Ray Manta. It's actually harder to tell what's going on in motion. It's a totally garbage shooting game that gets a lot of positive reviews on Steam because it's $1.

I feel guilty at how little I give a gently caress about Uncharted and God of War and such. I don't dislike them, but I'm so indifferent despite their obvious quality. Am I broken?

Having played the first two God of War games, they are very solid but nothing to get very excited about. I've started into Bayonetta recently and that game has really gripped me in a way other hack and slash games couldn't. Perhaps give that a try.
