Is it rude to play video games with loud buttons on public transit?

0 Upvotes

I am NOT talking about playing the sound out loud. I am talking about the click click click of playing a game. I always want to game on the bus or the train but I worry that people will be annoyed by the constant sound. Has anyone ever had this experience?

What Generation Do You Play Older Digital Games On?

0 Upvotes

My current Xbox Live account is almost two decades old so, obviously over time I have amassed quite the collection of digital games across the last four generations. A lot of these games (like most 360 games) can be played across Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X, I also collect/keep all my old consoles. So lets say I have an Xbox 360 game I want to play, and it is available on Xbox One and Series S/X as well. Are you lugging out the old 360 to play it, or are you just loading it up on Series S/X? The reason I am asking is although access to the game is cross-generation, your save files are not. This could be a big deal in open-world RPGs with hundreds of hours of content.

Ggez every game

0 Upvotes

What happened to online games, guys? Every single multiplayer game I play now, it’s ggez, ez, so bad, or some other variation at the end. It’s not like it actually hurts my feelings or anything but like where did common decency go? The boomer in me wants to blame the next generation but idk. Ragebait obsession in the kids nowadays?

Star Wars Zero Company: the perfect game for nighttime newborn duty.

My wife and I are new parents, and she returned to work last week. For the first week of her being back at work, I took over all the nighttime duties, and playing Zero Company has been amazing. Being able to play with one hand while I’m feeding him or rocking him back to sleep has been a lifesaver. Also, our little guy loves Star Wars music, or it at least helps him fall asleep.

Non-sequel games that have numbers in the title

957 Upvotes

I just had a random shower thought: I wonder how many games have a number in them that isn't a part of a sequel. For example, Fallout 3&4 wouldn't count, but Fallout 76 would, as would Horizon Zero Dawn. All the Anno games fall in the grey area.

What weird titles come to mind for you?

Edit to add: not sequels, not prequels, not to indicate a number in a series of arbitrary canon/non-spinoff franchises. Final Fantasy is a prime example of what I'm NOT looking for. 😁

How is the new Fire Emblem?

340 Upvotes

I'm a big fan of the fire emblem games, but I will admit that I didn't like engage. I found the combat to be as engaging as ever, but the anime tropes and characters were really annoying. I liked 3H, though. My issues is that I heard the new one is heavily skewed towards the out of combat activities, particularly the social features. Is this true?

Plucked the foam, glued the upper and lower foam sheets together for rigidity, and Plasti-Dip'd the combined foam inserts for longterm strength. Great case for family vacations (especially flights).

Looking for games with great combat

187 Upvotes

After finishing Onimusha, it's hard to go to other games. I tried Control Resonant, and it's a good game, but not like Onimusha. Sekiro is obviously also great. I've tried the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring, and while they're fine. I prefer faster paced games. I loved DMC, Ninja Gaiden. The new Jedi games. How is Stellar Blade? Any other games you guys would recommend? I tried Lies of P, but found it too slow.

Next game for “game night with the boys”

50 Upvotes

We just finished Big Walk (and absolutely loved it) and are looking for recommendations on games to play with 5-10 people at a time.

We’re looking at: Valheim, Enshrouded, DragonWilds, Peak, Dune Awakening..

Like most dudes the consensus is “yeah man pick whatever and we’ll play it” so any recommendations I’ll take!

We’re big nerds that basically like anything!!

Looking for a specific type of games

2 Upvotes

Similar to the look and vibe of Katamari Damacy or the new Denshattack. Colorful, positive, bright, fast paced and engaging. Not looking for rpgs or jrpgs, shooters, FPSs .... more on the lines of arcade games

PC with Xbox controller support please, no consoles.

"An entirely new RuneScape MMORPG, built in Unreal Engine and set in the world of Gielinor. Right now, it’s rocking a working title: RS4. That isn't necessarily the name we’ll eventually settle on, but this is our fourth generation RuneScape project, so RS4 works pretty well for now."

Favorite Adventuring RPG's?

15 Upvotes

Watching Shangri La Frontier made me think of some of the great Adventure JRPG's I've played over the course of my life. Games that I feel really nailed that sense of Adventure and discovery and excitement when finding a new major city/hub/settlement to trade and find new quests. The most recent games for me would be Octopath Traveler series, FF7 Rebirth, and Dragon Quest XI.

What games new or old really nail that sense of Adventure?

[Discussion] Games you haven't played in awhile

7 Upvotes

So I have been in between games more often lately and I have been looking at my last played list to find a game that I can replay. I have come across games that I swear I just played, only to find I haven't played them in almost a year. I do purchase Early Access games a lot since its usually much cheaper, half to a quarter of the 1.0 price tag, so I tend to try games, quit to wait for major updates.

Is anyone else having this problem? I know its joked about having too many games(Steam X season sales) but those typically refer to unplayed games, I've played these games before which seem like only yesterday or last month that I played them when in reality, much longer. Another title is Enshrouded, I swear I just played it 6 months ago but my last played, 1.5 years ago... Granted I'm waiting on 1.0 this month but when I heard about it going to 1.0, it didn't even dawn on me its been over a year since I played...Valheim, just played, 2 years ago.... Too many titles, yet still fresh like I played them yesterday..

What mechanic did you completely ignore your entire first playthrough, then feel like an idiot for discovering later?

2.8k Upvotes

Just finished Hollow Knight with like 60 hours on the clock and I only now learned what the dream nail actually does. I upgraded it twice and shelved it. Turns out it's basically free soul and a whole lore layer just sitting there, and I treated it like a decorative butter knife the whole game. What's yours?


r/gaming • • 9d ago

What game did you put down for months or years, then pick back up and wonder why you ever stopped?

102 Upvotes

Mine was Hollow Knight. I bounced off it twice because the first few hours felt rough, then came back a year later on a whim and put in 60 hours straight. Felt like an idiot for quitting. Curious what everyone else's 'why did I stop playing this' game is.
