All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II

[Gonzo]

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

Surprised no love for The Dark Pictures Anthology:

Until Dawn
Man of Medan
Little Hope
House of Ashes

Pretty awesome games!

The Quarry SUCKS! Do not bother!

Yep, looks like the devs are getting back to stealth while incorporating the open world.

I've done something I haven't done in years and pre-ordered. I love the AC franchise.

Not sure why, but some of those scenes where he is being chased through the streets by guards makes me think of the Disney movie Aladdin (the original one). Other than that the game looks amazing.

From the few hours I've put into Prodeus, it stands very tall amongst the "Boomer Shooters". Stunning aesthetics paired with visceral gun physics.

I prefer RTS style games. Been playing StarCraft 2 for many years and am ready for something new. Suggestions?

I played so much Quake/Doom/Duke when I was younger that I'm really tired of the FPS style games. Plus my reactions aren't what they were back then.

Age of Darkness is a cool RTS... good for a few hours enjoyment. The map is different every time, so replayability is high. You can get it on Steam for $20 (or put it on wish list and pick it up on sale)

I've heard good things about the latest Warhammer 40k RTS, but have not played it (on my wish list, waiting for sale)

The Ascent is pretty good. Not great, but has its moments. Definite RTS elements to it.

Rts genre isn't what it used to be, check out The riftbreaker for a mix of Rts and Rpg

Thanks for the info...

I still consider Supreme Commander 1 to be the best RTS of alltime and it still holds up today. Unfortunately not much in this genre I can recommend that's new, most rts games are from tiny studios these days and not AAA games. Also Demigod is another great one from the past, love the gameplay and voice acting in that game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 fan with nearly 6,000 hours on Stadia begs Rockstar for character transfer

A Red Dead Redemption player with almost 6,000 hours logged on Google Stadia is begging Rockstar to allow character transfers after the news of the service's closure.

YouTuber @ItsColourTV(opens in new tab) took to Twitter shortly after the news that Google Stadia is shutting down broke out yesterday. "No, you don't understand how seriously pissed off I am," the tweet read, alongside a screenshot that shows that they've put 5,907 hours into Red Dead Redemption on Google's gaming service.

"For context: these hours are on Google Stadia and today Google announced they'll be shutting down the platform," a follow-up tweet(opens in new tab) reads, "@RockstarGames please let us do a one-time character transfer I am begging you." If you aren't aware, once Google shuts down its Stadia service on January 18, 2023, ItsColourTV's progress will all be erased from existence, meaning they'll need to start a new save file on another platform - with all 5,907 hours (approximately 246 days) going to waste.

It seems that fellow Red Dead Redemption players felt sympathetic towards ItsColourTV, with many replying to the tweet with suggestions as to how to save this player's save. One suggested(opens in new tab) that ItsColourTV use Google Takeout - a data downloading service - to transfer their file to PC, to which they replied: "I don't play story mode." Rockstar, if you're reading this, do our guy a favor and let them transfer their character just this once.

pretty surprising that anyone wanted to play that online garbage for more than a couple of hours

No, this isn't just an ordinary online account. This person put 6,000 hrs into a Red Dead account that was linked to Google Stadia. Which is shutting down in a matter of weeks due to a Google specific decision. Which would eliminate this user from accessing that account that they literally spent 246 days worth of time to build just because they chose Stadia which doesn't communicate player data to other platforms. Stadia limits the saves to only Stadia media which is soon to be non existent. All other platforms use shared info.
