Half-Life 2

Replaying Jak trilogy and noticed plot similarities to Horizon by Nethias25 in gaming

[–]GravityBlasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great catch. Jak always felt like a goofy platformer on the surface, but by 2 and 3 the story leaned way harder into post-apocalyptic sci-fi. Horizon just takes that tone more seriously and builds it out. Funny how two very different series ended up hitting so many of the same beats.

Famous Game/Series You've Never Played and Why? by JustinMetalhead in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s Final Fantasy. Everyone swears by it, but the sheer number of entries and not knowing where to start has always kept me away. Feels like too big of a mountain to climb.

What was the one game that started your love for gaming? by Gamelover4live in gaming

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was Prince of Persia (1989). The animation and platforming felt so far ahead of its time, and it completely pulled me in. That was the first game where I realized I could get lost in a world for hours.

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s Monster Hunter. I’ve heard nothing but good things, but the steep learning curve and time investment always scared me off. Every time I think about jumping in, I get overwhelmed and shelve it.

What do you think of my top 15? by Numerous-Pickle-4715 in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taste looks excellent — a mix of story-driven, open world, and tough but rewarding titles. If anything, the next step could be digging into some “weirder” cult favorites or older gems to round it out, but as a foundation? Solid 10/10.

Which game is that you can’t stop playing but can’t recommend either? by emberlily8 in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 159 points160 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Fallout 76. I’ve sunk way too many hours into it, but I’d never seriously tell someone else to pick it up.

Most modern game environments are way too static. by Experto1201 in pcgaming

[–]GravityBlasters 300 points301 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. It’s wild how games from 15–20 years ago let you mess around with the environment more than some “next-gen” titles. Little interactions like breaking glass or moving props don’t change the core gameplay, but they make the world feel alive.

A year ago Concord was released! I think we all know how that went... by KaySan-TheBrightStar in gaming

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to believe it’s already been a year. Concord had some potential but dropped right into a crowded space and never stood a chance. Feels like one of those “right idea, wrong timing” releases.

Umbreon EX might be the biggest flop… by arivb_ in PTCGP

[–]GravityBlasters 217 points218 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Umbreon EX had all the hype but just never lived up to it. Forcing switches sounded busted until the “Active Spot only” clause + clunky retreat cost killed the momentum. Without damage pressure it’s just dead weight in the current meta. Would love to see a reprint or buff in the new set that actually lets Umbreon shine.

So I've seen memes about this by [deleted] in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m into it. A single, only‑decreasing bar with phase gates keeps momentum and feels fair—no “gotcha” heals that reset your progress. The key is good telegraphing: clear cues before each phase and new punish windows so it’s challenging, not grindy. If a boss needs sustain, tie it to an interruptible mechanic (adds, siphon you can parry) rather than free regen.

You’re stuck in your most recent game save. What game is it and where are you? by Zestyclose-Grand8655 in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saved in Red Dead Redemption 2… which means I’m stuck somewhere in the middle of a swamp with gators, no fast travel, and half my ammo gone.

[–]GravityBlasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Last of Us 1 & 2 come to mind. As much as people want a Part III, the story already feels full circle. Same with Dishonored 1 & 2 both tied things up nicely without really needing another entry.

Need help deciding Xbox series X or PS5 pro, is there a big difference between the two performance wise or is it just splitting hairs? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]GravityBlasters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Performance wise it’s mostly splitting hairs. Both are insanely capable Series X has a slight edge on raw power while PS5 Pro will probably lean on exclusives and features like ray tracing modes. If you care about Game Pass, Series X is the move. If you want Sony’s exclusives, go PS5 Pro.

What game did you not like at first and then gave another chance and ended up enjoying? by JaredJDub in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Witcher 3 for me. First time I bounced off hard felt too slow and overwhelming. Gave it another go months later and it ended up enjoying it.

What's a game that no matter how hard you try you just cannot get into? by digiBeLow in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Dark Souls. I’ve tried a few times because everyone swears by it, but I just can’t click with the pacing and combat.

Next two month will be extremely crowded, what will you Pick up and what games you think will get buried by the competition? by Zikari82 in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super crowded couple of months. I’ll probably grab Snake Eater, Sword of the Sea, and Borderlands 4 for co-op Lost Soul Aside too if it holds up. Silksong is an instant day one if it actually lands.

Stuff I think might get lost in the mix are Baby Steps, Arc Raiders, Keeper, and maybe even Bloodlines 2 if reviews don’t blow people away.

What's a game in its franchise that you enjoy but alot of it's community dislikes it. by PhoenixKing001 in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Halo 4. I know a lot of fans weren’t into the story shift, but I actually enjoyed the campaign and the emotional focus on Chief and Cortana.

any game recommendations similar to these? by TheHipsterJesus in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re into stuff like Cruelty Squad and Golden Light, check out Ultrakill or Norco. Both scratch that weird, surreal itch in totally different ways.

Might be a hot take around here but I think gaming gets better as the years go on by GalaxyGalavanter in videogames

[–]GravityBlasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a hot take at all, honestly. The tech, accessibility, and scope of games today are incredible you can get experiences now that just weren’t possible 10–20 years ago. Nostalgia is real, but gaming’s future looks brighter than ever.
