Who else misses Battlefield 1943?
  • Hell Let Loose is definitely worth the try if you're looking for a squad based WW2 shooter. Doesn't have the destructible environments of battlefield but it's super fun and requires a lot more tactical forethought than a lot of shooters I've played.

    It definitely has a bigger learning curve than BF. The game really forces you to collaborate with your squad, move as a soldier would, and consider your routes through the map. Game has a great community though and I've found people are usually more than willing to show newbies the ropes.

  • STALKER 2 is Already Profitable One Month After Release
  • I thought it was good and fun but have decided to shelve it for a while to give the devs time to finish it. In its current state it feels similar to playing Fallout 4. I think once A-Live is fully implemented it will be a much more interesting game to play.

    I played cyberpunk at release and it left a sour taste in my mouth, to the point that I don't think I'll ever replay cyberpunk (even though I understand that the game is largely fixed now). I think by holding off on playing Stalker 2 I'll get to play something closer to the devs original vision of it without spoiliing the game for myself.

  • Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me?
  • If you have the patience for it, try playing on a much harder difficulty. The medium and low difficulty levels don't provide the same weight. Many systems in the game are unnecessary at lower difficulty levels but higher difficulty forces you to engage in them to get the extra edge over certain encounters.

    Higher difficulties force you to engage in potion brewing, reading up on enemies, and making genuinely tough choices morally in order to keep Geralt alive. Lower difficulties remove all the tension from these systems.

    Also as another user mentioned, don't skip any dialogue and engage in the side quests/contracts as they give a lot of unique flavor and nuance to the world and story.

  • 'Kaos' Canceled After One Season at Netflix
  • I really like Kaos and this is a bummer. Really goes to show that I shouldn't get into any Netflix series until it's all finished. Guess that one's on me for thinking they wouldn't cancel a well received show like this again...

  • Can videogames trigger a heart attack?
  • If you're playing games that give you a response with your heart rate, them id say that's probably a bit risky. Would definitely be worth asking your doctor as I am not a medical professional. Could be worth trying some more chill games that don't produce an adrenaline response like that.

  • employees aren't motivated by the idea of making money for shareholders
  • This title is kind of obnoxious. What the Founder adds is that managers and C-Suite need to find other ways to motivate their employees. It's not the "Nobody wants to work anymore" take that we see a ton of. The article writer has to have realized the ambiguity and kept it to drive engagement.

  • INSIDE those OLD pinball machines
  • I've been there!! Amazing spot to play pinball, just wish they served beer... I'm pretty sure they have over 200 tables and some fairly rare ones. Bonzai Run, and Water world are 2 that had fairly limited runs but can be played there.

  • What gifts are you getting for your friends and family members?
  • When I'm struggling to come up with a gift idea I usually resort to something nice that can be eaten or drank. Some nice chocolates, coffee or liquor can be a great gift that won't leave someone with something they never use.

  • Missing a few party members

    I think I left a few party members behind who I was supposed to pick up in Act 1. I don't have Wyll, the guy flew off the windmill and died.

    I'm on the fence whether it's worth restarting. I might just play the game over again after I finish but that seems like a major commitment. Any advice?

    Spoilers: I just got to the Inn in through the mist to give a reference for how far along I am.

    Edit for clarity: I thought the windmill guy was a separate party member but it seems like that's not the case. Doesn't seem like I'm missing much by not having Wyll in the party so I'm thinking I'll keep going.
