Is Civilization VI a good one to start with if I haven't played one (and is the Switch version good because my pc can not play games)
6 is fine, idk about the switch version. most civ fans will steer you otherwise because it always takes years of expansions and patches to bring them to the level of the previous game and 6 isn't there yet (and the switch version is still an expansion behind) and will probably never be as good as 4 anyway. but those are all in comparison to other games so you won't care, and 6 is okay

Yeah I guess as long as it's still fun I don't mind if it's a little worse than previous versions since I don't know anything about them

I was gonna wait for the PS4 version because I thought it came with extra expansions or something but apparently the Switch one has them too so maybe I'll go for it

-Alan Wake (haven't played since the 360)
-Call of Cthulhu
-Condemned: CO (same as AW)
-Dead Rising 1
-Dead Rising 2 (never finished it)
-Deadly Premonition (just started it)
-Dying Light (modded replay)
-The Evil Within 2 (played through this last year and loved it)
-Necrovision (could be fun)
-RE: Rev 2 Raid Mode
-Silent Hill Homecoming (?)

I've never played dying light, it's one of those games that i keep almost buying on sale but don't

This is most often due to company demands, the same stuff happened in Persona 5 with really weird sounding name pronunciations and the VA's got tired of being jumped on quick, turns out it was because that's how the japanese office insisted they had to say them.

Yeah. My default when I don't like the voices is to blame the directors rather than the actors, who are way too often not given enough context, or told to do bizarre stuff. Doesn't make it any more listenable, though.

So two questions:

1) how actually scary is Dying Light? I don't have a spooky game lined up for the spooky month, but if not that I'll probably just replay RE2

2) what's the new thread title gonna be

1) there are some jump scare bits and the night segments can be very tense but mostly skippable

2) A title composed of invisible characters, because it's a ghost thread

Nighttime can be pretty tense; there are super-zombies prowling around that it's usually better to avoid rather than fight. There are also a couple fairly spooky sequences later on in the story.

For Deadly Premonition, does anyone know of like a list or something of when and where to do the side-content to make the main game easier to manage? I also wanna catch all the ridiculous dialogue and what not.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Surge 2 has such a wealth of shortcuts, and shortcuts that lead to other shortcuts, that it’s almost easier to get lost than before. Twice recently I’ve lost track of where I was trying to go, but both times I eventually rediscovered a path I had eyeballed and said “I’ll come back to this”. One led straight into a big boss fight (one with an interesting gimmick that resulted in a real Gamer Tale of a finish for me) so I had pretty through scrubbed the rest of the area by then. Now I have my first “Codename” weapon and I’m back to crushing dudes and here’s a good time to say that I love that there’s are no stat requirements for weapons. Combined with the quick switching between favorites means I can alternate between elemental damage or speed or power at will without having cool new weapons be locked away until I level up Dex or something.

No I think it's when you and three heavily scripted friends spend five minutes showing off a game at E3.
