I'm sure that some people here would gladly take care of this hypothetical CD for you if you that's something you would be uncomfortable dealing with.

That's why I never picked up the new God of War, nor do I intend to. It was clear from the teasers and trailers it's not a game worth having form me. And that's where we circle back to the gate keeping topic of this other thread . Those (of us) who liked Tomb Raider and God of War for what they …

For the retrogamers, you might be interested in trying out some of the old ID games and Half Life in VR. 12 year old me would be amazed to play Wolfenstein as if you were actually in the game. The only downside is that I can only play it in small increments before I feel nauseated. Apparently, that …

I dusted off my Oculus Quest and picked up Superhot for it. Pretty fun experience, but not quite as good as the regular experience imo because you're stationary in the VR version.

The money's all that matters now with games, the heart, soul and the spirt are long gone. I'm having the time of my life at the moment with a game released in 2021, and it's free. And no it's not freemium. I think some of you guys just like making dramatic statements on the internet. I miss the …

I think that, as with many of life's debates, the different approaches to gaming reflect that which the individual finds important. In that sense, there can be no "wrong way" to play a game. I agree 100%. Still, I think it's worthwhile to take other people's advice on how they recommend playing a …

For example it's really a stretch to call Skyrim an RPG, since it has no real RPG system that locks you into the "R" in the RPG. Yet on my first playthrough, I played as an escaped argonian slave from Morrowind, who always helped his own kind, and was very much against everyone hurting his kind and …

i started Oblivion with a no faq no guide approach, so i have no idea what anything is! it looks great, especially when first out of the sewers - but from here on i plan to not immediately do quests but just to see if i can find a place to stay and 'make a living' for a while Awesome! That's how …

The way mobile games are monetized and sold makes it hard for me to find games. I don't want to sit through a bunch of ads, so I usually just sort through the paid games. However, it's hard to sort the games that don't require constant payments. You can look for games without in app purchases, but …

i am not happy with how extremely monetized games are these days, I mean in 20-30 years when we look back and say hey this is classic gaming, how much of it will still exist? Heavily monetized games are a minority. Only the biggest AAA titles really bother to any significant extent. So I don't …

I fired up Deus Ex Human Revolution for a second time. Great game, but I still prefer the first. It also is a pain to get running well on Windows 10. I also play flight sims year round. Been playing IL-2 1946 and Rise of Flight. I have the first game on my backlog. Should I go for the vanilla game …

I don't know, some of the games I have for Amiga for example came with receipts and they were not cheap (adjusted for inflation). I miss games you could play alone without needing internet or other players. Diablo 2 was the last version I liked. I assume that a lot of us just traded shareware and …

It is still not collectible so I'm taking my chances :). Same for 8800 GTX ... not an easy task to find unmolested one. Lot of them were cooked in ovens. I've never had good luck reflowing G80 based GPUs. Its just too hard to get that massive, IHS equipped die up to a high enough temp. I was in IT …

Wasteland 2 I had a blast playing through the first Wasteland game a few years ago, so now it's time to tackle the sequel. After fooling around with the Director's Cut for a bit, I decided to just play the original version on the standard difficulty level, thinking that I could always replay the …

One bonus of having a massive backlog is that I'm not in a rush to play any new games. Most of my game purchases are retro games or indies, which often go on sale for under $2. I still feel guilty for having such a huge backlog, so I'd like to start one of those projects where you randomly pick a …
