That game still looks great.

Mutant: Year Zero is super charming. I'm hoping this is a trend of games with great characters and a solid tactical combat system.

We;come back to the forums, Krezack.

You could play through all the FEAR games, that would take awhile. But I second Prey.

I should probably state that I don't really care either way and am just playing devil's advocate. I think all this genre blending is the wonderful thing about games.

My responses in red.

So how is the gameplay different? Because it "looks" like a big part of the gameplay is exploring a big world, riding a horse, and sitting by campfires. Yes, I am being a bit facetious, but I do think it is funny how similar the two are. Both force you to play a specific character too. At least I get better hair and wardrobe options in RDR2.

So The Witcher is an RPG but Red Dead isn't? They kind of look like the exact same game in those screens.

Amazon has Prime content that is free, and then a bunch of stuff you can buy or rent. Most of their free movies seem to be classics (well, sort of classic ) from the 80's.

Drinking a great Mexican Hot Chocolate beer stout from Fieldwork while my son plays ice hockey. My back is a bit tight from heavy swim sessions the last two weeks, but this beer is helping. Thank goodness for a sports bar overlooking the ice. My wife is stuck at a Nutcracker performance for my daughter, so I clearly pulled the right duty for the night.

Of course if you have artists designing those vanity items for you individually, and they are existing in the game uniquely, it would make sense that type of personalized experience will cost an arm and a leg.

I'm sure there is a sweet spot, but that is never going to be the focus of a company. They want to find the sweet spot that gets people to pay them, and rightly so, they aren't in it for charity. That's why I've always preferred subscription models. I pay a flat rate and the company still has to cater to my interests as a customer moving forward. Sadly that model is in decline.

Of course, both GTA and RDR offer fantastic single player campaigns that don't cost extra and have a tremendous amount of content.

Melkathi guilted me into buying Mutant: Year Zero. So far it is excellent. I like the mix of exploration and combat. Took me a bit to get used to the movement, seems more geared toward a controller, but it was a short adjustment time.

Someone's bitter. That had to have been made by someone who has never had a relationship. Either that or a ruined Sugar Daddy.

Not that I think many even take on private investors, but investing in video game companies seems to be a pretty risky proposition. Unless you get in on the ground floor before some indie studio blows up, it would seem to be a good way to lose money, or at least not gain much. Also I have a hard time believing the OP is in a position to invest meaningfully in a billion dollar industry if he is posting for details on an obscure video game forum. But maybe I've grown cynical.

Hey, I am trying to be good and wait until X-Mas. ;-)

He has been around since 2014 and just dumps dumb stuff and leaves, so he might actually predate a couple of those.

Hey, it's based on a pretty scant amount of historical evidence. Gotta fill the pages somehow.

Yeah, I've got to blame growing up on my lack of co-op sessions in gaming nowadays. Although my son and I can get some good co-op time in on both his Switch and my PS4. Honestly I remember a lot of wasted nights trying to get our LAN configurations to work as well.

So how about that local sports team?

Does he get that sentence if he isn't a racist?

Racists just can't get a break in this country. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-virginia-protests/life-in-prison-looms-for-neo-nazi-in-virginia-protest-killing-idUSKBN1OA1I0

So At the Gates looks like it will actually see the light of day. I wrote this one off, but it doesn't look too shabby. That means the only Kickstarter project that hasn't delivered is the Space Quest guys.
