They should’ve had Atreus say it out loud so it doesn’t break your immersion

Now that I think of it, Elite: Dangerous is an incredible game to play high, but I recommend doing it with headphones in a dark room so you can totally immerse yourself in being a space man or woman exploring the galaxy.

e: And don't get too high or you could fly into a star and melt or something.

I don't smoke weed much and the only real attempt I can even remember making at playing a game high was Vanquish, and I literally couldn't do anything but spam the dodge move in the tutorial area for 30 minutes but I remember enjoying myself.

Except for the tutorial the game doesn't do that unless you're actively getting hit over and over without trying to dodge or block. There are hints for some QTE segments but I think you can turn those off.

Edit: All the pot posts in here reminds me why I stay clear away from the stuff.

The real trick to getting high and playing bideo games is to get some friends, get high, play Wario Ware on Wii, in particular the dancing mini game. For extra fun crank up the speed as high as it goes

They do a pretty good job with nudging you along through dialogue, especially when Atreus calls out stuff because it seems in character for an inquisitive ten year old boy. Certainly better than having your character mutter to themselves all the time, stuff like “I guess I should check out what’s behind that door”

I love how much unique incidental dialogue the game has. Like, every time you go off the beaten path to explore there's a line especially recorded for that instance.

You know a game or super good when you've already done everything, got the plat, exhausted all of its content but still turn it back on just to play it. Off the top of my head I've done that with Bloodborne, Celeste, Sonic Mania and Just Cause 3.

What're your guys' "I'm already done but can't stop" ps4 games?

Platted Titanfall 2 and kept playing for 100 more hours.

Same with Bloodborne and Rocketleague.



Often a plat signals my severance tho

3. Microwave Hallway

4. The fistfight with Ocelot where he gives you smooches

5. Watching the end credits. "Big Boss has a credit? What the fu-woaaah!"

Yeah, about 5 minutes before. There was literally 30 minutes in between the lead producer tweeting "we're still working on the female player character!" and him tweeting "oh i guess that's not happening then, huh"

There was a really good Outrun on Xbox Live Arcade for the 360 but I think it got taken down for good because the Ferrari license expired. It had the F40, Enzo, and some other older models too.
