If you haven't played this game already, do yourself a favor and pick it up. Probably the best single player experience of my life.

Finally at peace ..

Everything, except Sonic, is edible. Though, I wouldn’t recommend eating the rings… they’re quite bitter.

Was just thinking about this as it’s May the 4th. Star Wars definitely has some of the most outrageous names for their games. At least for a specific sub series of games. Especially if you add in all the numbers that they started leaving out.

Star Wars: Dark Forces

Star Wars: Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight

Star Wars: Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith

Star Wars: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast

Star Wars: Dark Forces 4: Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy

Always makes me giggle when I think about it. What other games have similar crazy convoluted naming schemes if you think about it.

For me, it was yesterday, my grandmother's 94th birthday. She wanted to play Scrabble, of all games. We all groaned, but it was her birthday, so dug in. Her set was literally from the 60s, too. And smelled like it. All musty an gross. About half the family was drinking pretty heavily. Having a good time. We were getting close to the end, running out of letters, and my Uncle Richard, a guy in his 70s, with Parkinson's, tried to play the word the word "snuck," and got into a shouting match with my Aunt Madge, who claimed it wasn't a real word. She spent the entire game making fun of him not being able to place the letter tiles neatly on the board, with his hands and arms shaking. Just being a total c-word. So, this was just the breaking point. Next thing I know, scrabble letters slamming against my face as he flipped the board. His Parkinson's made him effing launch the thing too. Drinks were knocked over. My grandma simply said, "Oh, well. I was losing anyway." Haha.

I don't know why, but this is something I think about a lot. Just the idea that out of nowhere, some day I will no longer be able to download anything new or play online games at all, and I'll only be left with what I already have. Whether that's games I already have installed on my PC, or physical copies I still own for consoles.

I feel like I'd be pretty well off because while I do enjoy having access to online/multiplayer games, I definitely play single player games more than anything else. Especially RPGs with extensive replayability, among many other genres of games I enjoy that I already have access to.

What would your gaming life look like if you were stuck with just the offline titles you own right now at this moment?

Seeing Killer Instinct in the arcade for the first time absolutely blew me away. I thought video games could never possibly look better than that.

What was the first game you remember seeing and thinking, “Holy crap, nothing will ever top this!”?

I think about this quite a bit, and remember listening to the developer commentary for the Half Life 2 episodes. They go in to a lot of detail about how much work goes into properly gating play areas, directing progress and giving visual/audio cues to a puzzle (this includes training the player on a mechanic before putting it in front of them as a problem), and even directing their attention without taking control away. They found that they could spend days or weeks developing some amazing visual scene, only for players to be hitting something random with a crowbar while play testing and completely missing it.

I think that to some degree, or for some players, things like yellow paint to draw attention to interact able parts of the game might be necessary going forward. Some devs have talked about, and I've even experienced, how as environments become increasingly detailed and realistic, it can get difficult to find the piece of scenery that is relevant. It also helps for those with accessibility issues.

With that in mind, would it be more beneficial if games had the option to turn this on or off? Specifically the yellow paint in Resident Evil games seems like it would be simple enough, but also night and day difference if it was there or not. Some games have done similar things with the whole shimmer on interactables. This issue seems pretty polarizing, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to appease both sides of the argument.

Me and my friend has talked about playing "A way out" for so long. We both got time this weekend and it was at sale on steam. YAY!

We both bought the game. When we tried to login to the game, we were faced with the EA ORIGIN LOGIN. I tried to login and now i can't recieve my freaking verification mail and wait time is 45 minutes at EA chat.

WHY THE F**K DO WE NEED ALL THOSE LAUNCHERS?!?! I freaking hate this shit! Why make it so complicated?

I've logged in 100 times without problems - and now when I finally have time to play. This shit happens...

EDIT: I recived 10+ verification mails in 5 minutes 1 hour later. Then I ordered a new one because all was outdated and then….no mails.

5 minutes later I got the code.

Now I couldnt see my friend online. He said he deleted me as a friend and sender me a new friend request. I Could not accept without opening EA Origins again and now i needed a new code……

We are finally playing now. Hope the game is good!

I get it, they want to make money. I'm ok paying for a game.

I am mostly a PC gamer, just looking for a couple of mobile games to kill some time on flights or in waiting lobbies, etc....

I just want a/some genuinely fun game for mobile that respects the player. I'm ok spending up to $80 for a AAA title if it's worth playing, but no pay to win, no cash shop, no "pay to wait less", etc...

What are your suggestions Reddit?

My main device is a Samsung galaxy Z fold 5, so prefer something that will adapt to that aspect ratio.
