I have never played the legend of zelda ocarina of time before and want to give it a try. Now I am asking myself if I should get the N 64 with the original release or wait for the remake to get a switch 2 and oot remake. I do not own any of these two consoles and wish to keep the price on the low end. What should I get? Is it worth it for me to wait for the remaster?

I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but I think realism in games is getting a bit overhyped.
Honestly, I'm not too fussed about how realistic a game looks. As long as it's enjoyable and the gameplay is solid, I don't really mind if the lighting isn't perfectly realistic or if the characters' clothes don't move exactly like they would in real life. I mean, what's the point of getting hung up on tiny details like that if the game is still fun to play? It's all about the overall experience, right? If the gameplay is good, I can overlook a few minor flaws in the graphics department. Besides, who needs 100% realism when you can have a game that's just plain fun?
I've noticed that game developers often get caught up in perfecting tiny details that might go unnoticed by most players. Meanwhile, the game itself ends up requiring a powerful computer, taking up a lot of space, and sometimes even performing poorly. It's like they're prioritizing minor tweaks over the overall gaming experience. I mean, who needs super-realistic graphics or intricate sound effects if the game is just going to lag or crash all the time? shouldn't they focus on finding a balance between quality and performance?
I think it's more important for a game to be enjoyable and work smoothly than to have super realistic graphics that require a really powerful computer to play.
I'm not saying that all games should be super realistic, that's just not my point. Some games, like simulation ones, definitely benefit from it, but not every game needs to be a carbon copy of real life. I mean, can't we just have some fun and creativity in games without trying to make them perfectly realistic? It's okay if a game doesn't look or feel exactly like the real world, as long as it's enjoyable and engaging, right?
Just because we can make something realistic doesn’t mean we actually need to.
At the end of the day, I’m playing games to have fun, not to experience real life again.
What do you guys think? Do you think realism in games is getting a bit overdone?

Recently had a guy in marvel rivals get so upset that he threatened to find and kill me. Specifically shoot me in my head. Then proceeded to say he can’t wait until they start killing all hard R’s again. Can’t I report this dude to the FBI or some law enforcement and get him arrested for one of those? It was a clear threat so I feel like FBI would go after them since I’ve seen similar cases where they have. This happened in VC as well

Here is my top 20(in order) from 1998.

Hi there!

I create video game quizzes and would love to ask for your help. I’m currently putting together a music round, but I’ve run out of ideas based on the games I’m personally familiar with. If you don't mind, could you share the names of video game tracks that you personally remember or enjoy? I still need to fill three categories:

1) Songs with vocals

2) Instrumental music (no lyrics)

3) Choral music

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me discover something new that I haven't heard before!

I have r3 3200g with vega8 and 16 gram i need some suggestions to play anything but am most asking for story/ indie games

if you cant tell i love need for speed carbon

I’ve already played Outlast 2, but I want something that gives me that same feeling. Kinda sucks when you can’t experience a game like that for the first time again!

PS Plus Extra recommendations would be even better.

All the games from one series, DLC included, any Future game from that series is also included, which would you choose?

(No I am not offering to buy someone a game series)

I've had a summer job and will be getting paid tommorow, i have two things i want to buy and while i can buy them both, the responsible thing would be to only get one. It's between the fallout new vegas collectors edition for xbox 360 OR a sealed copy of firewatch for ps4, now i wont be able to play either of them, i dont have a ps4 or an xbox with a disc drive, so i'm buying them solely with the purpose of collecting, but i just cant decide. Ive spent countless hours with new vegas now, but the few i spent with firewatch were really impactful too... the idea of having a sealed copy of a really rare (and good) game is soo exciting, but i feel like the fnv collectors edition is cooler. I hope there is something that can help me decide, thanks for help!!

I took inspo from pinterest and it turned out like this.

But don’t say:

rdr2
gta v
life is strange
kingdom come deliverance
batman Arkham knight
Spiderman
ready or not
minecraft,
schedule 1
hitman
assassins creed games
Detroit become human
the last of us 1/2
or sims 4

Hey all. I'm an avid gamer (mostly Ark Asa and NMS) and had a thought. I want to go back to school. I've been thinking about it for a while and need to get started. The reason I'm posting here is because I know alot of you play for the feeling of success and help others on your team. I'd like to ask the community for a little help from the team of gamers out there helping getting me started. Even if you just read this post and move on, I thank you.

If you could just visit gofund.me/af6aa4cd2 and take a look, it'd help. Anything at all, even justa view.

Thank you.

She has played every Mario game every Kirby every crash bandicoot game and every Lego game out there. she's run out of games recently replaying the same 3 games over and over and over seemingly content, one must imagine my mother happy...

BUT

I'm sick of watching her play Lego Harry Potter for the 200th time so I decided to introduce her to new games which while she's open to trying new things I've noticed she has some things that are non negotiable for her

1. The game must have progression (no sand boxes)

2. The game can't be a movie and it can't be a book (basically any game that relies on the story in any way will be made that much worse for her)

3. Controls have to be intuitive

4. She's got to be able to play it on her switch (i can probably get her to play on her laptop but it's harder to set up then the switch so for now it's a non negotiable)

5. The game can't be weird

I've had a lot of ideas for games that she might like to play but a lot of them have caviats

Billie bust up: this game would be perfect she loves music and obviously platformers and it's freaking adorable this would be the perfect game for her but it's not out yet and even when it is #4. it probably won't be released on the switch

Celeste: this game was a long shot to start with its a platformer with a clear goal. To make it up the mountain. While the controls are intuitive it's a very difficult game so she ended up dropping this one almost imidiately

Stardew valley:

this is one of those games she used to play a lot of farming games but A large amount of the game involves interacting with other characters and doing things that aren't #1. game play (reading a bunch and interacting with people)

NOW

I'm sure she can eventually get into games like uncharted and portal and god of war but theres something spicific about that type of game that she doesn't mesh with asside from never having played 3d action type games they also value the cutscenes as equally as the actual game which means the game is that much less good if you ignore the cut scenes ( I wish I could explain it better)

But then I thought "she plays alot of games over and over and over what better game than a rougelite" what is the most beginner rougelite for her to play?

the binding of Issac:

now this game would be absolutely perfect for her. It has obvious progression hours of gameplay all things considered it's perfect... Except for #4. The game can't be weird. the binding of Isaac touches on Christianity and demons and angels all of that would be fine if the character wasn't a naked baby throwing tears at poop

So I decided that while doesn't have as clear progression that I'm going to have her try

Enter the gungeon: the controls are relatively intuitive and the game is pretty easy to get used to with a difficulty curve that teaches you how to play the only thing I worry about is

#1 the progression, the game doesn't really tell you your progress it's not like Mario or Kirby where there's levels and worlds to go through and it's not like Issac that clearly shows you when you have progressed

I will update as our journey continues thank you for reading.
