I’m going to contradict myself a little, because Vice City is the better game. It’s got an actual story, a great voice cast, helicopter gunships, and the finest soundtrack of any game ever made.
But it was very much built on GTA3. The mind was already blown. It wasn’t going to happen again.
I’m not sure there can ever even be a “best game ever”, but in any case mine is Grand Theft Auto 3.
Picture the scene. You’ve got your shiny PlayStation 2. You’ve got a bunch of games, but honestly, a lot of it could have been done on the PS1 with worse graphics.
And this bad boy drops, and never stops surprising you with all the absolute chaos you can cause. Not much of a story to go on, but the sheer scale of it was amazing. A whole city of driving, slightly wonky shooting and even flying (a bit). It was a game that just felt like the hardware was designed specifically for that.
We were no longer just playing games. We were living in the future. And we’ve never gone back.
The headsets have (if you can stomach Meta). Thanks to the combines efforts of Nvidia, scalpers, crypto-bros and AI-nerds, the hardware cost has been sailing into the distance and shows no sign of stopping.
It took me a long time to get used to VR locomotion.
I still really can’t handle smooth turning at all, but using VRChat a lot (where the teleport movement is terrible) made me get used to the left stick movement at least which is really all you need.
While I really enjoyed Alyx, it’s very much a game built around it’s own limitations. It’s more of a survival horror game in a way, because of the limits on ammo and deliberately mechanical reloading. There’s no melee at all, so once you’re out of bullets you’re done for.
For all the roughness of Half Life 2 VR Mod, I find myself enjoying it more because it has fewer limitations imposed by the move to VR. It doesn’t always work (and the vehicle sections in particular really push it), but as a mod of a 20 year old game, it’s really good.
That’s why I buy them in packs of 50.
Ah, the 200 Go Fuck Yourself pattern.
I use HTTP error codes in my API, and still occasionally see a GET /resource/{“error”:“invalid branchID provided”} from people who don’t seem to know what they are.
Fucking Chrome/Electron is why.
I honestly wouldn’t mind that if they could all use the exact same runtime so the apps could be a few MB each, but nooooo.
Why do people use this when Jellyfin exists?
That’s four goddamn numbers in a row!
No I mean so I can fry it and get fat.
Eurotica.
Instructions unclear.
Locked it behind a Discord community instead. 🤡
And most of them have the surname “Kardashian”.
I’m not sure what the intent was, but the message we took was “children ruin everything”
The kid looked creepy as fuck too.
Man, haven’t even thought about Mega 64 in ages.
It’s based on paperwork, not blood.
You can’t just turn up, release your spawn and claim it belongs there. We’re not frogs in a pond.
It’s not a single player game. Or did you mean Forza?
Although if you’re offline you won’t be able to make an account anyway.
I’ve only got a Sara. She doesn’t put nearly as much effort in.
Who doesn’t love the smell of raw onions on a first date?
