I thought today about my first ever PC and how I bugged my parents for weeks to buy it, essentially just to play a couple of games.
I had a sleep over at my friend’s house in the late 1990s and we pulled an all nighter to play GTA1 and then eventually Carmageddon. Thus the obsession began. The next few weeks was spend begging my parents to buy a PC just so I could play these games again.
Extra chores, all the excuses about how it would help me with school work and offering to sell some of my stuff to help pay for it (as of I ever did!) until eventually they relented. They ended up buying it on credit and paying for it for 3 years… just so I could play GTA and Carmageddon!
I also traded in my PS2 and about 15 games just to get an original Xbox with Halo. Well worth it.
Do any memories stick with you for when you went to great lengths just to play a certain game?

Back 4 Blood has built on the great foundations that Left 4 Dead laid over a decade ago. The gameplay is brilliant, there’s also that little bit more to keep the challenge fresh and to keep zombie killing fun.

Defect Process is all about a freeform 2d combat system, heavily inspired by the Devil May Cry and Guilty Gear series:
Movement is also a strong emphasis, momentum transfers through attacks/skills and can be redirected.
Just released this in Steam Early Access last week along with most of the haskell source code, check it out!
Trying to decide if i should pull the trigger.
Title. Just wondering if there’s DLC that I may have missed since I don’t normally engage.
Some that come to my mind are, “21” from RE7.
Metro Exodus’ DLC.
GTA IV Lost & Damned (Biker gang)
Batman Arkham Knight (Croc and Batwoman)
Terminator Resistance (Terminator campaign)
I am a HUGE fan of the Subnautica series, and it is one of, if not my favorite, game I’ve ever played. I would give anything to experience it for the first time again.
So, I’m posting on here because of my thirst for games like it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
And by the typical formula I mean the “freedom” that you get. Specifically, most strategy games allow you to do whatever you want, simulation style. However, this comes at a sacrifice of a narrative or story. I guess XCOM comes closer to what I’m looking for, but I was more looking for a game that allows you to build a kingdom/nation/whatever but with a decent campaign that tells you a story.
Don’t get me wrong, I love games like Crusader Kings and Civilization. But, at some point, I just feel tired of the AI and the lack of something to push me forward through the game. I would prefer to be more constricted in what I can do, but having a story that pushes me forward.
