I love Grand Theft Auto games and the way they allow me to immersed in a urban landscape and observe the culture of the place they are set in. I enjoy how they can alternate themselves between gameplay models of being a 3rd person action adventure shooter as well as vehicle based gameplay due to the nature of their setting and their protagonist being an anti hero while giving you a fun playground to mess around with. And I think that is a huge reason why this franchise is so beloved and popular and why it started the trend of open world games in general.
Sleeping Dogs has been the closest I feel a game has to come to replicating the urban open world style of GTA. It was genuinely cool to explore Hong Kong in fast cars and bikes blasting on songs on the radio and then shifting to martials arts (and a little bit of gunplay). Wei Shen and the ensemble around him are a compelling bunch that you are compelled to complete the story to see where it leads. And it did have some interesting …

Rustler - Grand Theft Horse is a parody of classic action games like the original top-down GTA entries. Playing as a medieval thug, you get to go through bizarre questlines, drift with horse carts, get towed for parking in “no horse zones,” engage in cage-fighting tournaments, and dig up dinosaur skeletons. There are even radio bards to punch for changing music (stations).
The latest giveaway is coming to an end on January 29. On the same day, Definitely Not Fried Chicken is becoming the next freebie.

The Humble Store’s latest bundles are focused on giving large chunks of popular franchises. Up first is the RollerCoaster Tycoon Collection, which carries …
My game: “Blind Touch”, a blind simulator where you use your cane and other senses to explore the world around you and seek back your lost memory, has developed for exactly a year.
It all started as a prototype and was initially posted on Reddit a year ago. I started taking this more seriously when I see so many people supporting this idea, and now after a year I’m finally close to releasing it to public (Feb 4th)!
You can wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3521660/Blind_Touch/

Just take one deadline, even craft or get from trader (15k). Put it in your safe pocket, dont take anything else. NAKED run. If you spawn late you can just try seeing if the bastion is still there, if not just surrender till the spawn location and time is good enough. Then run to bastion (lets asume that your lobbies is friendly) go to 2nd or 3rd floor and jump on bastion, place the mine and then loot everything. Extract. You should have 50-70k loot value. Dont forget the 15k that you spent on deadline. Btw you can take 2-3 traiblazers, but you need to throw it under its belly.

I understand that people play like rats cause they’re shit at the game but f**k me…
As most probably assumed this Tuesday we will be getting the Headwinds update. Which includes: New Matchmaking Option at Level 40, New Minor Map Condition and Player Project.
Thoughts on what all this could be👀?
Im getting 110 fps on high graphics on a PC from 2021, and the game looks this good. Props to Embark for using black magic to optimize a game this well on UE5
Couldn’t believe my luck after going dry for so long. Got killed by a rat the next round but I’m still riding this high.
For a game that:
- Has PvP
- Encourages PvP with daily feats like “Deal X amount of damage to Raiders with heavy ammo”
Why do I feel like a bad person (sometimes) when I engage in PvP. It’s wild, have never felt like this in a game before, and it makes it even more intriguing as a social concept.
Is it because there are so many opportunities for teamwork in PvE? Or something else?
