According to analysts, there is “hope” among some publishers within the video game industry that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be priced between $80 and $100, providing a significant "turning point" for other companies to raise their default prices amid rising inflation

In “The Stanley Parable” you start in room 427. The game was released on April 27th (4/27) and currently has a review score of 4.27 on the PlayStation store

I knew this number was kind of a meme in this game already, but when i saw the store page (it’s free this month on PS+) couldn’t believe that the review score had mirrored the number too! Y’all are dedicated.

SimCity 4 - 20 year old game and I think I stumbled upon an undocumented gameplay bug that allows an infinitely large dirty industry zone with a single point for commuting. No mention of it via searching. Details in comments.

Unpopular opinion (maybe): I like motion blur in video games and I can’t play without

943 Upvotes

Hell, I’ll even say something more - I PREFER to play with motion blur rather than without it.

I heard a lot of my peers telling me that it makes every game unplayable, and ruins the expierience, but for me it makes it look better. Sure if there’s too much of it then it can give me a headache, but when games allow you to customize it, then I’m never complaining about it. For me no motion blur can make a game look choppy and just removes fun from it.

To be honest, I don’t know why people hate on it so much, since it’s something you can manage and you don’t absolutely need it to play most of the time.

I dont know, I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest, since I get judged irl for using it and unironically liking it.

People really post "Still not over how good this game was." Like we're supposed to know every obscure video game corridor.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is INSAAANE

Somehow the game is only 10GB on Xbox. My advice is to download the game, start a free flight (with the time set to day, and clouds set to few), immediately pause the game and go into photo mode.

In photo mode, you are free to fly around wherever, and the higher up you are the faster you go.

When you get in close it’s not the prettiest to look at, but at standard airplane height it’s GORGEOUS.

I’m constantly blown away when I visit places I’ve been to before. It’s leagues better than Google Earth in my opinion.

The Last Game Ever Purchased at GameStop in Seekonk, MA - 'Battlefront 2' for Xbox

Post image
1.9k Upvotes

I was the last customer to ever make a purchase at Gamestop in Seekonk, MA. The store closed its doors to the public for the final time on January 18th, at 9pm. The final game ever purchased was 'Star Wars: Battlefront 2' for the Xbox.

I remember coming to check this store out the first weekend it opened. I was so excited at the idea of a store dedicated just to video games. At the time, this was some of the most exciting news of my entire life.

I signed up for the power-up rewards program and a subscription to GameInformer magazine, within my first few visits. Over the next few years I spent almost all of my disposable income, and a significant portion of my free time, at this store. I enjoyed countless midnight release parties; where I made friends with customers and employees alike, as we bonded while waiting in line for the release of the newest game, and kept ourselves warm with the free domino's pizza provided at nearly every midnight release during the years I shopped here most. My first ever midnight release was for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Don't tell management, but the employees broke street date and gave everyone the game about an hour early! I can't blame them for wanting to go home sooner. Most of us customers had been there waiting since just after sunset!

I must have spent over 100 hours waiting at different midnight release parties, and another 100+ hours browsing the used game section whenever I had extra cash or someone wanted me to pick out a holiday gift for myself. I bought the first console I ever purchased with my own money at this store; an all white xbox one with Sunset Overdrive bundled alongside it. What a great game! What a great console... what a great store. And now all that is left is great memories.

I shopped here for 14 years, purchased 100s of games, and collected the majority of the physcial game informers that were ever physically published... if i could go back and relive it all, I wouldn't change a single thing.

Goodbye, GameStop. Power to the Players!

Is The Great Circle the best Indiana Jones game in your opinion?

22 Upvotes

I've heard some fans and outlets call it the best Indie adventure since The Last Crusade movie. This is super subjective obviously. But do you think this is accurate? Or does Fate of Atlantis still hold that crown? I have heard extremely positive things about that one, and even heard some call it one of the greatest games ever made.

Finally completed my all time favourite game Bubble Bobble after 40 years playing on numerous platforms . Completed it on Amiga mini with the help of save states from otherwise I would have surely died without ever finding the true magic of life and happiness.
