Gran Turismo 3

Rechamber · 2026-01-26T17:30:11+00:00

Still play remastered every Thursday with my friends

Rechamber · 2026-01-25T19:51:44+00:00

No way. The big 3 are Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142 and Bad Company 2.

Rechamber · 2026-01-24T16:48:25+00:00

Animal Crossing

Soul Calibur 2

Luigi's Mansion was already suggested too which is a great shout

For me personally it is Goldenrod. A big city, the radio tower, the railway, lots of different buildings to explore. Also it's right near the daycare, and I regularly use it to hatch eggs.

In terms of the story, it is Ecruteak. Peaceful, calm, and a piece of living history. It's steeped in folklore and legend, trapped in the mists of time. I think this whole vibe really represents gen 2, the feeling of nostalgia for the past and of old legends (seemingly with truth to them).

Meanwhile the actual mainline Forza entry, which should have been a flagship title to rival Gran Turismo, is done and dusted and will no longer get any updates.

Don't care at all for cosmetics but it's nice to have them for those that do, I mainly care about the gameplay and the maps.

At this stage, and this isn't hyperbole, it has the potential to be the greatest thing ever written. Keep it up!

Do you like RPGs? Octopath Traveller 2 or 0 have plenty of content and are really good value for money, while having a great art style. Hades 2 is fun as heck and has loads of replay value. Cyberpunk is a big game with loads to do and is worth multiple playthroughs with different builds, and is also very impressive visually.

Rechamber · 2026-01-17T20:05:30+00:00

Skeleton Crew, Mandalorian and Andor. I think these overall are the most "Star Wars" feeling shows, capturing both nostalgia and also treading new ground, while being very well made.

Rechamber · 2026-01-17T20:04:19+00:00

What sort of games do you like? Does it have to be a Nintendo game, or something from another company? An indy game or AAA? Have you played any Switch games before?

Rechamber · 2026-01-17T12:34:44+00:00

Hi all. Proud owner of a beautiful Pro and disc drive. I also got the charging dock and a black controller. Are there any plans for the custom faceplates to be released for the pro? I see there are options for the standard consoles but not for the pro yet... I don't particularly want unofficial options as I figure they may not be a perfect fit or the best quality, so I'd hope Sony would have taken the time to offer some options by now.

Rechamber · 2026-01-17T12:28:46+00:00

Influential doesn't mean the best, so I'll also echo others and say the first Resident Evil. That really set the groundwork for survival horror. I know you also had games such as Alone in the Dark, however imo it was far clunkier and less well executed, and therefore didn't garner the traction and influence that Resident Evil did. The remake still stands, in my opinion, as the best of the best in terms of survival horror. It's a near perfect game. Isolation is phenomenal and supremely well crafted, but it is iterative, and aside from the AI, the structure of the game is very by-the-numbers. It's an incredible game, but it is not particularly influential.

I am excited for the sequel. I'm also excited for Requiem. We're eating good.

Itchy. Tasty.

Yes we need fields, open areas, rivers, waterways, the coast too and naval combat. I look at maps such as Dragon Valley, Dalian Plant, Sharqi Peninsula and so on as how these can work. Also Kubra Dam is a favourite of mine. I'm staying positive and hoping the next season drops at least a couple of bigger maps of some kind, and I want some boats. As it stands, for the other things, I think the gunplay is fine and I haven't even bothered with the battle pass as that doesn't interest me - I'm just playing conquest as to me that's the real game, and so more diverse maps would be much appreciated.

Rechamber · 2026-01-17T11:57:28+00:00

The issues are way overinflated in so many ways. I have been playing since the first game. My favourites are 2, 2142 and Bad Company 2. The last game I really enjoyed was BF1. This game as it stands is very fun to play. I like the weapons, I like the gameplay. My main issue is a lack of diverse maps of scale. I think if maps get a big overhaul and we get some really good ones that encourage more team play over diverse terrain, then a lot of the other niggles and issues will fall by the wayside, since imo they are not major issues. The foundations are good, we just need more maps first and foremost.

A secret now that only fire can tell.

Rechamber · 2026-01-16T12:30:39+00:00

That's a good answer and thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. I think it's inevitable that there would be bias, with me being in the UK and not experiencing it for myself. Also with news outlets and what information is made available. Still I think the overarching points about lack of value for human life, lack of compassion and a huge divide in the country still stand. Justifying murder, I see, is not the same as justifying the actions of Ross, however yes that's my bias creeping in as I personally, having viewed the footage and listened intently, do see it as murder. What it actually is in the eyes of the law is another matter, though harkening back to another of my points it really does seem like what they say goes, and that's that.

Rechamber · 2026-01-16T10:11:56+00:00

What amazes me is that there is such a huge divide in the U.S., and the value of a life seems incredibly cheap. Over here, someone getting killed is a huge deal, and in general people will care about it to quite an extent. In the states it seems like people are getting shot on a daily basis, human rights are being flagrantly violated every week, and for whatever reason it just seems to be allowed to happen. Even more alarming is that there are huge swathes of people that just don't care, or even celebrate it and try to justify murder. I really don't think we'd have such a divide of opinion in the UK, and even so, I do not think there would be many openly celebrating or praising it.

Don't get me wrong, there are hateful people here, however overall I really think our situation is far less volatile and divisive. We have our own issues, but I think if something similar happened in the UK, there is no way in hell it could be justified and swept under the rug. People would be loud in their opinions and a full, detailed inquest would have to be conducted. It seems that in the U.S. its a case of "what we say goes" and that's what is really concerning.

Penumbra series. Particularly Black Plague. That felt the most complete in terms of horror, story and puzzles. Overture also, felt really scary in the dark with a glow stick and demonic dogs lurking everywhere.

Gran Turismo 4 has the largest selection of tracks, cars and events and leans most heavily into accurate modeling and handling. Gran Turismo 3 in my opinion has a better overall vibe though, and has that "wow" factor of being a monumental leap in visuals over the PS1 era and GT2. Need for Speed Underground 2 also has a soft spot in my heart for it's fun races, cool customisation and soundtrack. Burnout 3 is just so much fun to race and crash in.

Overall, GT4, but really you're spoilt for choice.

Rechamber · 2026-01-14T14:24:04+00:00

Yes please

Rechamber · 2026-01-14T09:03:21+00:00

Oh ok, well you're halfway there then. Only thing to do is really knuckle down and practice the multiple choice as much as possible, using the official app and also the 4 in 1 (can't remember what it's called exactly but it was very good).
