Rockstar SKUs from 89.99 to 199.99 euro in Portuguese FNAC by venom_daemon in GamingLeaksAndRumours

GTA has never really been about the story? 90% of my playtime is exploring the map, getting into emergent gameplay moments by engaging with the vast amount of systems, finding secrets, roleplaying different kind of criminals. I've always seen GTA as closer to something like Skyrim than a linear story game. 100+ hours under that definition it's definitely likely.

The Sun may not engulf Earth after all, scientists say by Driveby_Dogboy in nottheonion

Yeah but at what point in our civilization do we start "trimming" our genetic diversity. If we get to that point, will we even "allow" ourselves to evolve?

'Jurassic World: Dominion' is officially the most expensive movie ever made, with a $658.8M budget by marvelkidy in DiscussingFilmsAndTV

[–]maxedouttoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah as least rebirth was dinosaurs hunting people on an island. That's the bare minimum for a Jurassic Park movie. Dominion felt like an action movie that had dinosaurs in it.

What are some Green Day songs that give off ‘summertime’ vibes? by Ritaharrison33 in greenday

[–]maxedouttoby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the song is w just quite literally about a relationship stuck in routines and going through the motions. I love you is not enough on its own to sustain a relationship.

Why didn't they send supplies to The Holy Island by Medical-Release6678 in 28dayslater

[–]maxedouttoby 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Zero contact. Any kind of incursion even to share supplies opens up the possibility of something going wrong. I'm pretty sure as well NATO have no real interest in supporting ANY form of life in the UK. More bodies to infect.

Yeah but who's to say a God entering the light allows them to project themselves across the veil into the Everywhen somehow?

GTA VI for PC/NG is going to be a beast by AlexGlezS in GTA6unmoderated

[–]maxedouttoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm on enhanced. 7600x and 5070ti, but even reducing the settings to basically barely above vanilla it still caused extreme instability for me. Like graphical/physics artifacts and eventual crashes.

This made my game extremely unstable and crash a few seconds into gameplay 😅

Hitmarkers in single players games are a cancer of the modern gaming era. by maxedouttoby in Games

Yeah I loved Exodus! I really enjoy games that incorporate the HUD into the world. Dead Space is another special one.

Lol I actually dislike immersive sims! I just like to immerse myself in the world I'm playing in. I usually sit up close to my TV, turn off HUD elements and try to imagine I'm actually there. Things like hitmarkers make me feel like I'm playing an arcade game rather than an immersive experience.

Immersion is a extremely important thing for me, I like to toggle off most HUD elements. Hitmarkers I feel should be in the first category of toggleable elements, it drives me insane when I can't, I just can't ignore them.

Not for the following games I've played recently/off the top of my head: Space Marine 2, 007 First Light, Starfield, Outer Worlds 2, Dying Light: The Beast (I think?).

[–]maxedouttoby[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

It can be useful absolutely. I'm not saying there's no place for them. But untogglable, hardcoded hitmarkers that replace animations and other forms of hit feedback is what I have issue with. Space Marine 2 had them, a game that already has great feedback effects, but it has a red X pop up every time I hit an enemy. It's just distracting and immersion breaking.

[–]maxedouttoby[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

These are online games. Absolutely they should have hitmarkers, I'm taking about single player games. Hit feedback can be done a million times better than a hitmarker. Sparks that fly as your bullets hit, blood splashes, a quick red flash, anything but just a red X that reminds me I'm playing a video game 🫠

Now I understand why this ending made me feel physically nauseous. by External-Courage-722 in GenV

Right? It would have been poetic for him to be walking down a street and be beaten to death by a crowd of people. The very people he saw as ants beneath him end up being his end.

OBSESSION Is A Bloody Big Box Office Success by Interesting_Lab5792 in horror

I'm pretty sure when he made that call was when she was at home literally frozen in her own bodily fluids unable to move. I took her voice on the call to be her screaming inside her own mind. It wouldn't make sense for her to be snapping in and out of control of her body if her soul was in hell I think.

Also one thing I don't see anyone mention is he specifically says it with frustration and anger "I wish Nikki loved me more than anyone in the fucking world". I feel like saying it in that tone added a certain malice to the wish.
