I have somehow never heard of this before today, I know where the rest of my day is going. Thank you!

That program sounds awesome, what is it? I love old midi tunes lol

Oh, hi Mark

Definitely checking this out, it looks like it will scratch a very specific itch lol

I know what I’m doing this weekend

Starfield

Finally starting to get some free time lately so I got Game Pass back, I played a bunch when it first came out and had a lot of fun, I’m excited to start a new playthrough with all the updates and now mod support as well.

Hah, look at this n00b who didn’t even play HL as a toddler

/s

I don’t have a use for any of those (no PC ATM) but I think it’s pretty cool that you’re doing this, random Internet dude :)

Thanks! Just read and it’s a downer, that game did look pretty cool but the save system they’re talking about would be a deal breaker for me too, I don’t have tons of uninterrupted gaming time.

It only let me read the first paragraph, which is a bummer because it looked like it was gonna be interesting.

Sidology 1 & 2 are both pretty good. Anthem Apocalyptica holds a special place in my heart, though.

I tend to agree with what you’re saying about the shallowness of the story and missions. GTA5 is beautiful in terms of landscape and visual design, but there’s not much substance there. I like to play once in a while just to kind of wander around and enjoy the scenery, but it isn’t very engaging to me beyond that. To each their own I suppose.

Yeah, I definitely agree that it’s kind of a systemic problem, and pretty much how things are right now. I don’t really care for that mindset of focusing so much on older games and not prioritizing new ideas or IPs. At the same time, I’m honestly a total sucker for nostalgia, I grew up playing games from like late 90s to mid 2000s, and I would be so stoked if they remade or remastered all those games I grew up on. I would throw money at whoever remastered the Need For Speed games from '98 to '06, as good as those games were for the time, they could look so amazing with modern technology. I wanna relive my teenage years but in 4k :D

Remakes: Yes Remasters: No

I don’t like when they remake a game I loved but they add a bunch to it like new gameplay mechanics, or make changes to stories or characters. That being said not all remakes are bad, probably most are just fine, but really not my cup of tea.

I greatly prefer a straight remaster. Just update the graphics, remaster the sound, maybe add a little more details to the game world, and I’m a happy dude.
