Into the trash it goes. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Specifically for Dying Light, I watched some streams of it and it's not my type of game, even if we take the zombies out of the equation. Nevermind... different game... can I delete this message?

When it comes to imagination, it's all subjective, but rule of thumb was always that there should be immersion, not realism. One of points to have characters looking realistic is that you can customize them after your liking, if there's no customization, but realism in looks, then you want movie quality game. And you don't play a movie, movie plays for you, which is reason why realistic looking games never appeal to me, but popularity is clear with those. I would simply chose a game where I can get immersive feeling, like Ghost of a Tale over Call of Duty, but obviously movie type of games made the most money. 1 https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33102093/ - Picky Gamer Girl!

Agiel Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theonlygarby Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I agree it's very weird just how much people spend on crappy mobile games. Though I also don't understand advertising... it's very rare that I will see an ad and then go out and buy that thing. I'd say never, but I'm sure there has been a time I did.

Lexx Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'm guessing most people wouldn't tell you if they do that, because they know you'd call them out on it. Also, children. I can see it on my nephews who are playing these stupid flashy mobile games and they want skins and whatnot. We look at it and see how bs it is, but they don't know better. And it's hard to teach them if all their classmates are doing this crap. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Yes the game if pretty much piece of ****, but I have nothing better to do, when I am alone on a hotel during a business trip. But every time, I open the market place I am just eyerolling, when I see the prices... Som packages are more than 100 Euros, and if you want to end up at top 10 at a weekly event, you have to buy dozens of these packages. So no wonder, you do not know anyone from your surrounding, who is buying mobile stuff, I knew only two people. All these companies need is 100 people, which spend 500+ EUR on their game per week, and they are swimming in cash. Because 3-5 craziest of them are spending many thousands per week...
