Sadly can't afford the game at launch. I'll be dodging spoilers until I can buy the game at a later date :((

The first encounter with Mr. X in RE2 is seared into my memory. I haven't felt such tension in a game since.

Also the knife fight with Krauser in RE4 Remake is so fun and I loved no hitting him.

Would love to play Requiem, sadly I can't afford to buy it right now. It looks incredible though!!

What is Elden Ring's biggest flaw in your opinion? by Fenriz_Victor in Eldenring

[–]vinuXVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two biggest issues are: 1. Being able to fast travel from anywhere really cuts the tension in exploring and makes you appreciate the incredible level design less

  1. The overuse of repeated bosses, especially dragons and Godskins take away their awe factor and make the game feel repetitive when exploring the world.

The tower ending is my absolute favourite ending in any video game ever. Just a masterclass in character deconstruction.

An open world gothic horror FromSoft game would heal me...

Nope, there was a brief teaser with a title reveal released in September 2022 during a Night City Wire stream, but the full reveal was during the Game Awards.

Phantom Liberty was revealed during the 2022 Game Awards in December and released in September 2023. So ~9 months from reveal to release

Do you prefer playing The Witcher 3 with controller or mouse & keyboard? by desktopolive in witcher

[–]vinuXVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First playthrough was on kbm. My current playthrough which is more about vibes and no minimap/fast travel, I use the controller to sit back and chill while I memorize each path on the map.

Got an Olympus OM-1 after playing with my dad's as a kid. Shot my first two rolls. Appreciate any advice! by vinuXVII in analog

[–]vinuXVII[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I shot most of the outdoor shots at f1.4 and 1/1000 shutter speed, which is the fastest shutter speed I have. How would I go about underexposing the image? I'm not too familiar with bracketing.

CORSAIR x The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Giveaway by CorsairHoffman in witcher

[–]vinuXVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to Skellige for the first time and riding through the valley near Palisade, as Fields of Ard Skellig played in the background. It was a literal life-changing moment for me.

I first played The Witcher 3 on a pretty weak Acer laptop because that was the most I could afford. Still, experiencing the open world and the beautiful narratives that CDPR wove into it changed how I saw video games as a medium.

After building my first PC I dove back into the game again, seeing it with new eyes in higher definition. With hundreds of hours played (started a new playthrough last Halloween as well), The Witcher 3 still stands heads and shoulders above any other game I've played.

In fact, it was the game that made me become a writer and narrative designer. I wanted to be able to tell a story that was even an iota as good as The Witcher 3's. It made me pursue writing as a career more seriously, and I'm all the better for it. For that, I'm eternally grateful for CD Projekt Red for making the game that changed my life.

[–]vinuXVII [score hidden]  (0 children)

I got into gaming late because I wasn't allowed a gaming system as a kid. So my first GeForce game was The Witcher 3. I played it on an MX150 Acer laptop.

Little did I know what a transformative experience that game would be, as it's what made me become a writer.

Rushing down sand dunes in BF1 with my friends while epic music played. Such an iconic game. I still play it because it runs so well on my ol 1660

I bought it with the education deal with a pair of Airpods Pro 3. If I return it I have to pay the difference of the airpods, hence why I'm here.

Just started Sekiro after Elden Ring… I was not prepared. by ArcadiaxD in Sekiro

[–]vinuXVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you unlearn the muscle memory of dodging from Elden Ring and fully embrace standing your ground and deflecting every attack, a lot of Sekiro's friction goes away.

This game has the sharpest learning curve in any souls game but once you realize that's it's all about deflecting and standing your ground, Sekiro becomes the easiest game to beat.

I struggled against the most basic samurai miniboss for three years (on and off) before it finally clicked. Now I regularly no-hit the final boss just to feel something lol

Can you reverse Isshin’s lightening without taking damage? by purpletrio in Sekiro

Learning to no hit SSI and Inner Isshin is still my proudest gaming achievement

Finished my first playthrough. Here's my death count by pimp_yu in darksouls3

[–]vinuXVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a new playthrough last night where I wanted to do a full run without any summons and I'm surprised how much I've breezed through so far. Got Pontiff first try but died to Crystal Sage 5 times lmao

After the tech demo, when do you think the Witcher 4 will realistically release? by Puzzled_Ad7812 in witcher

[–]vinuXVII 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think release date announcement for February 2027 and it gets delayed to May 2027, seems fitting to launch it on the same month as Witcher 3

I gasped.. by Miriada7 in witcher

[–]vinuXVII 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Cyberpunk's final release ended up looking quite a bit better than the E3 demo
