Hi... I have some, mine are newer games as opposed to classics/retro ones. Hope ya'all don't mind. Hotline Miami 1&2: I could never get tired of playing this duo. The graphics are so horrid and yet the gameplay itself is so polished and addictive. Both games are short but have alot of replay value. Super Meat Boy: Dubbed the hardest platformer since Ghosts and Goblins, it took me quite a bit to beat. It's cute, tells a story and has some great boss fights. Sonic Mania: There's sonething to be said when a AAA publisher literaly goes out and hires fans to make their next game and it paid off, tremendously. Rayman Legends: It's fun, colorful and bright. Features classic songs remixed into musical platforming. Rayman has bever been dull, thank the ubi-gods! Batman Arkham Knight: Everything about the game is bad@$$. The graphics, the car, the villain. Life Is Strange: The most emo game I've ever played and for good reason. I can't say that there's ever been an rpg that has ever hit on this level of relatability while touching on modern controversial issues that people face in real life on a daily basis (bullying, abuse, rape, kidnapping, etc) Transistor: It's like 8-hours long but what a breakthrough in storytelling for rpg genre. It's that good. Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2: I've clocked in 24 hours so far into the game and the length and quailty of content is up to par with Witcher 3. However, it's not an RPG - even though the game is non-linear, has a huge open world and tons of dungeons ajd quests. Red Faction Guerilla: It's an ancient game and yet it's one of the most technologically advanced games I've ever played. It still hails as one of the largest open worlds in a game and what's more is that not only is everything fully destructable, it's also the only game in historyin which you can enter any building you see. Star Wars Kotor II: Obsidian's best work ever ad the best Star Wars game ever. While on the newer side, it's hard for alot of rpg's to match my experience with this one. Depth: I do not play alot of multiplayer games, I do not play a lot of fps either but this one is one of the best. It's balanced and unique. It pits 6 players against each other in 2 teams. 4 divers vs 2 sharks. Brigador: Iso'mech'tric perfection! This game is all about mechs shooting up vehicles in isometric perspective. The action is fast but you have to manage resources masterfully. I can't imagine any rpg fan wouldn't like this (it's not an rpg but operates as one). You can pilot an array of other vehicles too, hovercrafts, cars, gyro-cycles, tanks, etc). Dex: It's beautifully made metroidvania/rpg hybrid. It's basically a 2D Deus Ex but with a female protagonist. Very good story too. Hollow Knight: According to 90% of the people who actually played it, it's the first metroidvania game to overthrow Super Metroud and Castlevania Symphony If The Night. Not only is it's Land Before Time-looking aesthetic gorgeous but it's hard as nails and superiorly rewarding. The Evil Within 1&2: Best horror games since RE5, by the guy who was originally responsible for te good RE games. He made these after he left Capcom. Oxenfree: A 2-3 hour adventure game, essentially a 2D walking similator about a group if friends who go on a ferry to a party on an island but 'Stranger things' happen Bioshock Infinite: The definitive Bioshock experience, gets rid of that musty ad boring dark blue color pallet ad brings life to the series. Also features Elizabeth, who is like a broken Disney Princess gone bad. A staple of female characters in the gaming world. Rise Of The Tomb Raider: Lara Croft's best game ever. The conditions are harsh ad tge gameplay is harsher. Mad Max: Overlooked, underrated and ultimately forgotten and yet ine if the best and most immersive open world's I've ever played in. One would think the desert would become boring but no. I'll give more later lol

The VR community is the worst community I've ever come across, apparently most of them have an eletist attitude and claim that pixel art games should just stop being made and how 2D games are worth no longer playing.

Loot boxes and piñatas for sure... VR doesn't really seem to be taking off as much as the fans hope. It hasn't really grown from the beginning of the year, sitting at 350,000 (a tiny audience). And I think VR users are finally discovering that it has more limitations than they thought considering that games like Doom VFR rely on blink.

I guess I waited to play it for a reason :D

I really hope this means we get a new Rampage game. Would love a next-gen reboot or re-imagining of the classic.

My favorite movies with Dicrapio are Catch Me If You Can and Shutter Island. Shutter Island I found to be very underrated. I really loved the cinematic feel for The Great Gatsby.

Lol what? Idk I guess if that's what you want to think so be it.

To me all the big budget actors are terrible... Too overused, to the extent in which case I just only tolerate them anymore. If I had to go with one I'd probably pick Dicrapio I guess.

I think dlc is good for both consumers and the industry. Launch exclusive access to dlc is never a bad thing, it's an incentive to push more sales and also reward the early birds. When dlc is done in the vain of The Witcher 3, it can do no wrong. You have a dlc which is 40+ hours for $19.99 that's bigger than any expansion pack/expansion disc from games in the yesteryears. Dlc can be oddly inpressive when done right. And the thing is, dlc is never forced upon the product ir comsumer to get 100% of the experience. There seems to be a myth of "We are getting an unfinished game from the start when publishers shell out dlc" which has never really been the case. It is indeed an interesting topic

Aren't the world's most masculine men gay though? I'm looking at Wentworth Miller, you'd never know he was gay with his egotistical demeaner, deep voice and manly plans of action but yet he came out a couple years ago. I always read that a man who is not afraid to get in touch with his femanine side is less likely to be gay than a fromting full-fledged man. I mean, as a married man with kids I can get how this can be true. After all, if you're into a girl, you start getting to know her interests and if you fall in love with her, you love what she loves and likes what she likes. Goes the same with daughters... I seem to remember when Taylor Swift had a concert wherewhich men who dared to wear high heels got themselves + their daughters in for free. I highly doubt any of them were gay but a single man may look at that with homophobia because they simply haven't matured enough to understand.

18 hours into Lego Marvel Supee Heroes 2... 13% game completed. I'm doing it though.

Gotham... Morena Barracin looking hot as ever with her now long hair. Maybe it's a wig or extentions, who cares lol Point is, the new new look is hot.

What is your personal game of the year for 2017? I have two... Hollow Knight and Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2. I don't think either will win awards or anything like that but they gave me the best experiences.... and I played alot this year

I'm not sure how achievements and trading cards are insulting to a customer base of the players who actually care about them but okay whatever lol It's almost as if you are saying that users who prefer a format which offers those things are less intelligent for liking them. That doesn't make any sense to me.

A few people on this forum do not represent gaming as a whole, nor do they speak for quality of a format if they are so inclined and openly biased. I'm trying to approach this from a unbiased mindset. To say that Steam didn't have major advantages which helps it remain on top would be dishonest. I have nothing against GoG users, however, I'm pretty sure it's silly when GoG users hate Steam for things GoG Galaxy tried to do. That to me, is the funny thing, because suddenly then it was "exciting" aand positive. That said, GoG is pretty amazing at what it does. I do wish that more games that were on Steam were on GoG because then I would use GoG more. It's a bittersweet moment because in my eyes they are both equally as good, they are just opposites of each other. My dream would be for Valve to buy GoG one day so that both could live a harmonious life-cycle and all users could live as one sonic society in equality and holy unification. It may sound crazy but then we would have the best of both worlds. Imagine that, tainting GoG with Steam's market stregth and server deduction wouldn't be such a bad thing while adopting GoG's anti-DRM policies. It would give more seasonal occurance and strength to each side of users I believe. Anyways, goodnight guys. I'm falling asleep

GoG has a couple good advantages over Steam, as I've said numerous times on other threads... the non-DRM and old games which can't be found elsewhere. As far as customer support, to be honest I never had to use either so I don't really know personally. We can mock Steam's catalogue all day and pretend that all of the games are some kind of horrible catagory as a whole. That's okay with me. I think its like 80% of gamea on GoG are on Steam already, some with more support or usually get patches quicker. Not all of the other games are as bad as people here make them out to be and we know this because GoG exclusivists are usually on the Steam forums begging devs to bring their games to GoG, so some are bad but most aren't. Some are great games that will never be played or given a chance and just drift off to the cosmos. If I were to list the advantages that Steam has over GoG, more people would probably be a very long list. I know that one of the problems of Steam, PSN and XBL is the number of scammers but to be fair, Steam does give a good wall to users for peotecting their accounts. They just ignore the steps most of the time which results in unnecessary bans or compromised accounts. I think that is the biggest omplaint I've heard. Scammers and unjust bans whether it be from power-hungry mods, server admins or what have you.

NERD POWER.

I do not care for them much either to be honest but I don't look at them with paranoia or as if they were some nuisance, that to me is weird. No offense to anyone. I just don't see how progress markers hunder the experience, it's not like I am forced to look at it.

Uhhh that's fine. Doesn't render what I said as untrue though.

Either way, just because you and other people don't care about things like achievements, trading cards, vr pressing, etc - doesn't mean that those features aren't major pluses for Steam. And my point being is that if GoG ever got them, users would say "Well we have trading cards now and achievements" instead of bashing them. I mean, if you're a GoG loyalist like a few people on this forum are, you're not going to bash GoG for following suit with Steam. I'm being a realist here. It has nothing to do with Steam having ore or making more money, it's just a direct comparison of features. Steam always had the clear advantage over GoG, Origin and uPlay when it comes to a social gaming experience and to the vast majority of gamers, it is important and does matter... which is probably why PS4, XB1 and Switch are so into the social experience as well. Other than that, I think we all know that GoG, Epic Launcher and Origin will never handle MP gaming as well as Steam and Battlenet. Maybe uPlay might come close.

I never liked Cher, she always really annoyed me. Even moreso as an actress but yeah, terrible voice. Her husband, on the other hand actually had a good voice. The only reason why she got famous was a one hit wonder in which her husband outshined her, then rode on her husband's death to cash-grab in that super-lame emotionless song. Someone here will probably say otherwise of course

I consider voice-boxes and modulation as effects, I consider auto-tune as a way to hide and cheat the audience/fans. The thing is that these can be made up up of the same equipment but the intention is totally different, making for a different result altogether. Voice boxes like the one Peter Framton used was legit for sure, definitely unique and a stamp on 70's.

Auto-tune should never be used in ANY situation. It's dishonest, even if used for the smallest things, to correct the smallest noticable mistake. It represents dishonesty among the musicians/singers community and when one of it looks bad, it makes the rest of us look bad. Unfortunately there will always be others out there who try to make excuses for it "Our artists are sick" or "It's the norm, get used to it" but these are the people who have no experience in either the music business or with fan loyalty in the community. In short, you're right. Can't go to a concert these days without wondering if they're lip-syncing or using auto-tune.
