I absolutely loved Witcher 2 and played the entire game at 640x480 and a locked 20fps bc anything higher would melt my laptop's built/in GPU. I couldn't read a single line of menu text bc of how blocky the letters was. I've never tried 3

actually you know what i'd probably throw the MGS games into the pile of "games i want to play but am scared i wouldn't be into", mainly because nobody doesn't like MGS and if you are one of the few that do then it's basically a sin

don't get me wrong, the lore is insane, the characters are memorable, i can respect kojima's craft. but i'm really not that great at stealth games and i feel like i'd play badly enough to where it would sour my experience. on the other hand it seems like it's pretty much everyone's entryway into the stealth "genre" (unless you're old enough to have been playing thief back in the day) so i'm probably just feeling Gamer Anxiety™ about the whole thing

you can disregard stealth and just go all rambo and still have fun with mgs3 and the ones after. There are tons of weapons and absurd items in the later games for any playstyle, especially V

i thought i didnt like stealth games before i played mgs but it turned out i didnt like stealth segments in normal games

This is a very good way of explaining why everyone should at least try MGS

Playing mgs 3 on hard sucks so bad. Oh I'm moving from crabgrass into veldemanns green, time to go through three menus to change my camo from tiger stripe to olive drab because if my index drops below 85% I will be domed instantly from ten miles away by a guy who's not even looking

I want to poison men with frogs, hit them with beehives and do cqc in the camo that makes them barf, not play as the world's saddest earthworm


Tall grass and line of sight always works too, you don't have to micromanage your camo. Playing 3 on Extreme is the best MGS experience overall imo. Game over if spotted I do 50% of the time. I do wish there was an option for "Game Over if somebody manages to call in an alert or reinforcements" so you still have a chance to take a guard out if he sees you but before he calls for backup.

I didn’t necessarily think I would hate it but I basically bought Ghost of Tushima because I had nothing else to play and it was reviewing well. I knew nothing about it other than the flute guy from E3 and wasn’t expecting anything special. It was easily one of my favorite games of the year, maybe even of the whole PS4 library.

I didn't think I would hate it, I just didnt have a strong opinion about it as space and horror are not usually things I enjoy, however- I played Prey on Series X with the fps boost and it will now likely be my favorite game of 2021.

Lol I would not have played mgs1 on my own if it weren't for that ps1 demo disc from pizza hut that had mgs1, crash bandicoot 3 and others. I thought this would be as close as video games ever got to movies

It's weird because I played the actual FF3 on an emulator and it was a good game for what it was. It feel like the guy in charge of the remaster thought he had to make it as hard and grindy as people assume an unreleased NES era final fantasy game would be.

i wouldn't say "hate," but i played through Journey this morning and went in thinking it wouldn't be my cup of tea. definitely started off slow, but i'll be damned if it didn't win me over by the end, as short as it is.

Me upon hearing about the Pokemon phenomenon: is this some kind of virtual pet poo poo
Me after spending 2 hours in an evening playing Red: so my team is strong against plant and bug types, but I need something to beat water...time to level grind this pikachu

Wound up in a race against my brother (i had Red, he had Blue) to complete the game first. I beat the campaign first, but he got to 150 pokemon first.

the first videos of Guilty Gear Strive + the way the developers were talking about making it a streamlined, simple Guilty Gear made me think it was gonna wind up sucking. I still don't like the UI, the menus or the lobbies but it's so goddamn fun and it's become my go-to fg if I got a half hour to kill.
