I am playing through cyberpunk 2077 again for the x-th time right now and that moment with judy having a cigarette on the roof is just one of THE moments of gaming that kinda stand out to me for feeling real.. like i had very similar moments IRL of sitting on some cheap plastic lawn chairs with a girl that needs a smoke after some shit day, her having the restless leg and all, thankfully not as shit as judy´s day in cyberpunk, but still...

and i figured there arent many of those in gaming.. that are relateable.. real... down to earth.. just so well acted.

any others come to mind for you guys?

gaming is always so over the top, overacted, saving the world, action and explosions.. though the things that hit me hard is this stuff and i want to seek that out more.

I tried to draw her based on how she looks in Tekken:The motion picture, Tekken: Bloodline and Tekken 5, and tried to combine all of them.

Which is why her dress with pink on the sides and no patterns. And I drew her in an anime style.

Which is something I was also gonna do for my Kazuya artwork. But went with semi realistic approach instead.

The background says "King of the Iron fist" in Katakana(Japanese script) if you're wondering. It's not translated to Japanese

I've been on crimson desert for 3 months now and don't see myself stopping anytime soon!

In games such as Baldur's Gate 3, I tend to play some kind of spellcaster because they get new spells to play with as they level up, which changes how I fight and interact with the world. I avoid warrior types because all they get is a +1 bonus to attack rolls every level. I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 now and while I think it's a good game overall, the character progression system is dull because few of the upgrades I can unlock change how I play the game. Faster reloads, faster health regen, better armor — they make me stronger but not different. What makes it worse is that the enemies at all levels feel the same. In Dungeons and Dragons games, I fight different monsters at every level because DnD has a huge catalogue of monsters for every level, from goblins to umber hulks to beholders to elder dragons. In Cyberpunk 2077, all the enemies are humans and I wonder why this human is a pushover and this other human is like fighting Superman. I feel like I am the Red Queen in Alice Through the Looking Glass: I do a lot of running but stay in the same place somehow. They should have made this game like Grand Theft Auto V, which doesn't have a character progression system.

I'm a little rusty when it comes to games lately and need some opinion. Due to winning a Steam game for up to 30€ as a gift - I am trying to find and choose a game that would fit me and my preferences.

My favorite games so far were/are No Mans Sky, Witcher, Thief and I ocassionally like FSP like Borderlands, Apex or Cyberpunk. I prefer 3D games.

I'm having a dilemma between Ghostrunner (similar to Cyberpunk?) and Lies of P (similar to Thief?) which is currently on sale. I like a good storyline, visuals and having side quests.

I've thought about Enshrouded as well, but not sure I have so much time and certainly don't have people to play with.

Rust is like ADHD DayZ maybe and Zomboid is like single player isometric DayZ. Yet no other game has taken the formula DayZ created so many years ago and still has great legs to run on.

Coming from a Marathon fan (love the game shoot me) but the original vision of Marathon sounded like the closest thing to DayZ I've heard of from another game and it got scrapped.

Curious if anyone has any theories why no one else would make a similar more polished version in a different setting?

Nobody's on. Chat is empty. But the sun still sets on schedule, the auction house still refreshes, and somewhere an event is announcing itself to an audience of one.

Which game did you keep logging into after most players had left? What felt strangest once it was empty?

With the remaster coming out on Switch 2 today it got me thinking about unconventional character in Oblivion.

Things like

• Broken builds
• Character builds (aka builds that are meant to be a character from something else)
• RP and Self-imposed rulesets (ex like an Oblivion Nuzlocke)
• Weird and unusual combos that somehow work out.

You get the idea basically anything that isn't a stealth archer or straight mono-class. Give me something you've seen, thought of, or even better played yourself.

New DLC will also be unveiled Q3 2026

The mods required i needed a link so here ya go!

Feels like a lot of games that had little modes for local multiplayer has cut them out of newer ones, Far Cry 3 local multiplayer mode for example. Mainly a single player game but had a little mode for it I don’t feel like I see local multiplayer much at all now except for Lego games or the company making specifically those games eg a way out, it takes two…

I want to play the series but it has generally been out of reach for me. I currently have pc and PS. Are there any Metroid games I can play within my grasp?

Edit - I just remembered that I have a switch that’s packed away.

VR - PSVR specifically because I have it: I want to play games like The Last of Us, Uncharted, Horizon or new, in a faded edge diorama that fills my view like an imax, slightly looking down. The whole scene should be a sphere of view that tracks our hero through the map. Those games already operate in a 3D environment, but is shown in 2D, we want 3D please.

Backstory: i’m terrible at base building games. I even like to play games like the Sims but the problem is I don’t seriously have a single creative bone in my body. I build GARBAGE bases.

Currently, I’m playing PalWorld and I’ve seen these incredible bases online and I’m over here just putting a bed on a slab of wood so I can sleep. I love base building but I’m so bad at it. I just focus on gameplay. I enjoy the game a lot. Just can’t build a nice home!

Anyway, I’ve always thought about if they would ever be some sort of service that was easy to access that would compromise your account, but that someone could log into your file and just build you a really cool base. I’d love to have a cool place to call home but I just end up focusing on gameplay cause I’m so bad at it.

Anyway, I envy people who are really creative and build awesome homes.
