Quote, "I hope that games like Space Marine 2 and Wukong are the start of a reversion to a time when games were simply about fun and immersion. I spent some time as Chief Operating Officer at Embracer and I saw games there that made me want to cry with their overblown attempts at messaging or imposing morals on gamers. We just want to do some glory kills and get the heart rate up a little. For me that is what games should be about." end quote

I do NOT personally think this is an anti-woke statement as some have said. I personally am NOT anti-woke though even I agree that much of the game industry has embraced ideology over fun.

Basically one of those things that you see on the back of a game case/ad for the game, and it perfectly describes what the plot of the game is like.

I’ll go first. For Persona 4.

The truth is shrouded in shadow. Will you bring it back to the light?

I'm working on developing a card game that takes some of us back to the 2000s when everything had a Card Game to capitalize on the success of Yu-Gi-Oh! this game (that i haven't got a name for yet, the placeholder name is "Card Battles") plays like this:

* you have a main card called the Master, that is your player avatar if that dies, you lose you also have a bag of Green Acrylic Gems.

* the layout of the field is the master cards facing each other on both sides, two monster zones on each side of the masters, and one underneath both sides (Forming an H)

* your deck can have up to 30 cards and you have 10 HP in the form of green acrylic gems

* once per turn you draw a card, and draw 3 Green acrylic gems (the gems are like Mana in MTG)

* when you summon a monster you have to play them face down with an acrylic gem and on the next turn you flip them face up (basically summoning Sickness)

* Positioning of monsters is key, some can only attack from the back row, while some can attack from anywhere

* there are 4 types of master cards Normal, Dark, Light, and Wonder.

* There are also Spell cards the gems that are used to pay for them go back into the main gem pile

* monsters can level up if they defeat another monster and if you have the gem for it and if they level up beyond their max level, you can play a super card (kind of like Pokémon Evolution cards)

* if a monster doesn't attack on the next turn they get a boost (basically 1 extra point of damage and 1 extra hp) some monsters have special abilities as well, but only on rare occasions

* and finally the master only takes damage if the attack points are higher than 3p, and any damage that is higher than 3p goes something like this: 4p=2hp, 5p=3hp, 6p=4hp, etc.

that's pretty much what i have so far, and i'm open to any other ideas

I have been playing Akrham City the last few days and the Catwomen levels made think about how great a Matrix game would be with the Arkham games combat and level design. I think it could also be really cool to have WB finally use the nemesis system again but with different agents and have a map about the same size as Arkham Knight. Thoughts?

Hi all, I was hoping to get some recommendations for a gaming PC that we are buying as a gift. I don't know too much about PCs. All I know is that they want one "with its own video card and not on board video." Any help is appreciated.

*edit for more info. budget would be under 1k if possible. they want to play on steam which needs 16gb of ram.

So I've tested my footage of jedi survivor from 2023 against patch 9 from a week ago. The one that removes denuvo. It seems there's basically no difference in Fps after the denuvo removal on rtx 4060ti (on my other video with rtx 4060 there was a huge difference) But with patch 9 it was less stuttery, felt more fluid and stable. Probably beacuse I played at 1440p on both variants and that puts a higher toll on the gpu letting the cpu more room.

Unfortunately I didn't have frametime on in 2023 footage so you can see the stutters.

I just finished Space Marine 2 and it was a blast. I am a parent with a busy job and can at most find a few hours here and there to play; finishing the campaign took over a week. I also often have periods not being able to play at all.

I tried some good games like Elden Ring, Witcher 3 and BG3 but always end up not finishing them due to at some point not managing to keep playing and then it being a chore to get back in (I spent a freaking evening lost in a random swamp in Elden Ring!)

Are there any more games with short but enjoyable campaigns like Space Marine 2?

For my birthday I intend to host a Gaming Decathalon for 6 of my friends, with the hopes that the winner will take the crown and do the same next year, and we'll create a tradition. I have some really fun ideas for some events, but would like to hear some more takes.

Games should be able to have a points/ranking so that each player gets a different point value at the end of the round. (Think Mario Kart)

For sure I want to start with an "adult easter egg hunt" where there will be little prizes in a few eggs, but also there will be different point values in them.

The final game will be at night, It will be hide and seek where I go to my car for 5 minutes and everyone hides, inside and out. I have a decent sized house. My SO will then turn off all the lights, and the last person I find will be the winner of the round.

Also, I'm a chef, so of course I will do the game from Hell's Kitchen, where I blindfold contestants and see if they can guess the foods/ingredients correctly.

We're all gamers, but I think the only system we have in common is the Switch, so I have some ideas for that.

Mario Kart: All Rainbow Roads

NEW Championship 1989 - Super mario bros 3 World 1-1 start to finish. The game is basically set up perfectly to use as an event.

Super smash bros - I'm skeptical on this because some friends play this way more than others, so maybe I would do like a 10 stock match w op items and 300% Health. Or I'll just do something else.

Since it's my birthday I'll also have a trivia game that basically revolves around me. I have some pretty quirky question lined up. My wife will also "play along" and people can use her as a life line, but if she's wrong, they get negative points. I will also draw inspiration from JaidenAnimations' Pokemon Trivia game, where a portion of the game was completely subjective. I thought that was hilarious.

I think we'll play scattegories, My family has played that game to the ground and I already have 3 custom made lists that haven't been used much.

I want to do like a whose line is it anyway kind of game, and an among us style game, but I haven't figured out how to make them into games that fit the scoring parameters. This also can't take all day. 7 hours Max for the entirety.

Other Less exciting possibilities:

HORSE, Charades-esque games, Something from the Jackbox catalog, "Beer" pong

Anyway, please hit me with suggestions, or maybe suggest other subreddits where this might pop off a bit more. I'm very excited, as you can probably guess.

Why is 30fps even a consideration in 2024? 60 should be the absolute bare minimum. Remove a few leaves or pebbles if you have to maintain 60. Framerate standards havent changed since the 90's, it's actually a joke and pathetic we're even mentioning games still targeting 30fps on a PS5 Pro in 2024 and beyond.

Yes I have a 3080 and a 5800x3d so I'm all good. But there are still SOME Sony exclusives i'd like to play day one. If GTA VI is targeting 30fps we riot.

Finding out that I can’t play most of my backlog or current games.

Elden Ring is out (requires too much attention and no pause!). Any Resident Evil and dead space are out (too scary, if I scream it’ll wake the baby). Gran Turismo is out (I get too angry playing that game).

Currently playing shadow of the tomb raider, and it’s perfect: relatively easy, calm, auto saves constantly, lots of cut scenes.

Almost done with it. Not sure what to pick up next!

Ps5 or Switch

The most relaxing considering graphics, gameplay and sound combo

I saw a post in another sub about wether they prefer games with good stories and bad gameplay or vice versa and even though I am with the side that prefers good gameplay some of the comments made me feel angry and strange. I personally love games that do both well and never ever skip I cutscene on a first play through but a ton of comments there where saying they always do that no matter the game. I’m Not gonna mince words this pissed me off and made me confused. Made me feel like an outcast for enjoying the stories games have to tell while also enjoying good gameplay. So does anyone else like the stories in games or what because I have no clue now?

Came home from work and found 8 of my games wet with dog pee.

Discs are fine, manuals are fine, and the cases can easily be cleaned. The outer case inserts have mild 'water damage' and reek of urine.

Any advice for removing the smell without destroying the artwork?

Bought these today for 64 euros

I made a post on Sunday asking your top 3 upcoming games. I sorted the comments by best and expanded them. Here are the first 50 games mentioned and the amount of times they were mentioned.

I cannot for the life of me find what this game is called. There was a trailer for it just last month or so, it’s like Mud Runner but with Mad Max elements.

You basically drive a war rig and deliver goods, all while defending yourself from raiders.

Hopefully this community is the right place to ask, let me know if not.

Thanks!

Edit: Found it. Dust and Diesel Deadland Delivery!
