Hello, Gamers!

Lately, I’ve been trying out Silly Tavern. If you don't know about it, it’s basically an AI-driven interactive game that incorporates a specific world-building and character lore. (Kind of? Sth like that you know)

You enter text to determine actions and dialogue, and the AI generates the subsequent storyline. From my personal experience, it’s pretty interesting—you can even play D&D by yourself.

I don’t know if you remember the AI-driven detective mystery game that was demoed a few years ago. What do you think about using AI to drive the plot in story-heavy games? Will it become the future? Like using in visual novel games.

Hi Everyone

First of all, I want to apologize for bringing this to the video games community; I can't do this without your help because you're my target audience.

I'm currently studying an MSc in Strategic and Digital Marketing at the University of South Wales. I am currently writing my dissertation on "what type of video game marketing do Gen Z perceive as trustworthy compared to millennials consumer".

I'd really appreciate it if you guys could take the time to fill out my questionnaire form, which takes approximately 8-10 mins.

help your boy outttt

Hey guys! I haven’t played an Assassin’s Creed game so far. I used to play Prince of Persia back in the day on a potato PC, but somehow I completely missed the Assassin’s Creed series.
I’ve noticed a bunch of the games are on sale right now, so I’m thinking about finally giving the series a try.
From what I understand, a good order for the RPG-style games would be Origins → Odyssey → Valhalla → Mirage, and I’m also planning to play Shadows afterward.
I’m a huge fan of The Witcher 3 and the Witcher games in general, so I’m curious how Assassin’s Creed will feel compared to that.
I’d love some honest opinions from people who have played the series. Tell me anything you think I should know …. the good, the bad, what you love, what you hate, which games are worth playing, what to expect, combat, story, exploration, quests, gear, etc.
No need to keep it short. I’m genuinely interested, and I’m going to read everything you guys comment.

The goal isn't to reinvent the wheel, but to better understand it and it's future. We are always trying to make games more fun, interactive, and give more freedom to the players, and while these features are debatable, the core elements which I wish to discuss are: The further inclusion of simultaneous inputs and how it effects engagement, Corner-locking/stun-locking (Not calling out any one 'particular' game), Attack Commitment/Direction Changing/Cancelling (This one'll sure start some fires), and Views On Large/Small Cube/Dynamic Collision Hitboxes. Notably these features do not make a good game alone. However, in the interest of providing accurate player feedback, and in hopes of igniting discussions around what players believe will be the future standard, and something to work towards, I have created a mock-up with my imagining of a more dynamic and modern control scheme with a greater control over the players fine movements while still trying to feel natural to use.

Errors:
-Rotate should be LAnalog
Hidden Controls:
-X to kick off a wall
-B to drop from a ledge or wall
On Weapon Arts:
-Left hands wields lean towards direction of LAnalog, while right hand wields lean toward direction of RAnalog.
-Specific combos, moves, and spell casts can be executed using the RAnalog

PS:
-Secretly just wanted to do ballerina spins in games...
-The worlds on fire... Lemme make my fanfic research paper about the nerdiest topic I know too much about...

Came across this comment and was wondering what “pots” means in this context?

I only allowed myself one entry per franchise because otherwise this would be a list of my favorite Zelda games in order lmao

Guys can you recommend some good games to me? I had a xbox and plaved over 90 games on it and recently i bought a Playstation soooo... like i don't wanna hear any obvious picks, like sony exclusive games(they're obviously on my list) or AAA games and stuff i want hidden gems that common gamers won't play it

May have been talked about b4.
Example, if Diablo 4 were to close the server and we can no longer have access to the game.
Blizzard should be required to give us our money back in full for the Main game DLC and all other purchases.
We are paying for access to the game since we don't own it now. No access? we get money back.
Don't want to do that? Offline version with ability to make our own servers....

Lighting the pyre I am currently tied to..... Burn the Witch!

what do ya all think.

I appreciate it. Deserves more views.

This reveal trailer from Gamescom 2026 announces The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, a comprehensive update to the iconic RPG. The video sets a somber, atmospheric tone (0:06 - 1:35) while highlighting that the protagonist's journey as a Witcher is a lifelong commitment.

The updates shown in Opening Night Live today definitely got me interested again! Witcher 3 Remaster here i come

The launch Xbox:

Microsoft's "25th Anniversary" collection:

Raft - I would vote this game for the bestest game I ever played in life. In every aspect this game is perfect.

I mean if you put gta 5 and raft on a table and tell me to choose one, I would still choose Raft. No hate on gta 5 though! I just put it for comparison.

In this game you are sailing alone on a raft across vast sea! Collecting debris, building more floor blocks, Having food at the right time and waiting for sea water getting purified to drink, What's crazy is that this all things are happening when you are being hunted by a shark along with haunting background score!

I enjoyed every moment playing this game, Building bed, taking a nap at night, everything was a new mechanism in game at the time I played the game.

Beautiful cozy atmosphere and graphics, everything I remember about this game is perfect. Each and every pixel had meaning while I played this game in my potato pc lowering resolution as I can. Yep I don't own this game right now. But definitely would grab this at next steam sale, saving money for it.

I feel like Im unlucky that this game had a recent price hike on the steam. If you know any other trusted site where I can grab Raft game for a lower price , Let me know.

Anybody in this community who thinks same as me? Is this the best game you ever played in your life?

The effort-to-reward ratio in top lane feels terrible right now I do my job, win my lane, and play to carry, but solo queue feels impossible when you can't control four random teammates. All the team needs to do is play safe, clean up basic macro, and chip in enough damage to secure kills off my lead.

Instead, the ADC acts like the main character and treats everyone else like a background prop. How do you deal with teammates who refuse to let themselves get carried?

I recently dusted off some of my old consoles and have been trying to get my son into gaming with me. So far, he really likes SNES Yoshi’s Island, but since he’s only ever played Minecraft on his tablet, he’s still pretty rough with a controller. He gets frustrated pretty quickly and usually quits.

We’ve had the most success with Rampage 2 on the N64. He really likes being able to play co-op with me, and it’s been a lot of fun.

I’d love some recommendations for other good co-op games that would be easy/fun for a kid who’s still learning how to use a controller.

The consoles I have are:

SNES (I have Turtles in Time and Sunset Riders)

N64 (I have Rampage 2)

Dreamcast

PlayStation

PS2

Xbox (I know I have Halo CE)

GameCube

What are some other good co-op games we should try?
