Haha nice!

I am not a completionist at all. I go hunting for secrets if there is a motivation in the game to do it but have not 100% a game in a very long time.

I consider a game to be beaten when I finish the story and maybe some sidequests that I found interesting but I never push myself to collect things or going for alternate endings unless I really feel like wanting to. Basically when the credits roll I consider the game beaten but on a few ocasions I keep going after the credits roll.

Also, I beat Elden Ring on the Steam Deck from start to finish and it ran great, 0 issues. I loved it. One of the few games I kept playing after the credits roll

A remaster trilogy would've probably been the better path here. Because Dead Space remake costs 20 USD more than the Resident Evil 2 Remake did at launch, and RE2 Remake did FAR FAR more to innovate and remake the game.

Nope. Welcome to the glory days of 1997.

That’s on you, it’s called free will.

Man same. We must be living similar lives because I'm in the same boat. I work evening shifts full time and when I have time off, I'm just too tired to play or do anything.

My sis is a gamer so I gave her my PC and got myself the steam deck because I work out of state and I like the portability of the Steam Deck. It's light, well-shaped, and has the performance capabilities to run the games I tend to enjoy. I don't even play the games at 60 FPS. I don't need high-end graphics that show the detail of all 42 muscles of the human facial expression for me to enjoy the game.

So recently, I've been playing Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 15 since November, and both games were bought by my sis. I'm mostly trying to earn the value that she paid for the games (full price) to justify the purchases she made. And I do not intend to buy any new games until I get 100% achievements of the games I am playing.

So like you were saying in your posts, even if you play the game that you purchased at full price. Let's say you did beat the game. Another question is, how do you consider your game is truly "beaten" or completed? Is it just by completing the basic main story or do you have to complete all the side quests, gather all the items, see all the alternative endings, etc etc? For me, I'm a completionist so I aim for the achievements after I complete the game to a level where I feel like I have fully seen and experienced all the content the developer intended the gamer/audience to experience.

Even the completion of a videogame is left to one's opinion and how they determine the value of money spent on the experience of playing the game itself.

Sorry for such a long post and thanks for reading. Glad to see I'm not completely alone in this mode of thinking.

To my knowledge this is golden eye

Most don’t see a noticeable difference as long as the frame rate is stable

>Of the 2 remakes, which one do you think improved on their predecessors the most

Dead Space: for one, EA Motive removed the horrendous turret sections with something more feasible that doesn't take players out of the action, took the 360 degree-movement in zero-gravity mechanics from Dead Space 2 and implemented them for the remake instead of the stick-to-surfaces-only from the original and made the entirety of the spaceship accessible akin to a metroidvania rather than an enclosed level-by-level design.

Yes

Exactly. I rarely play games that are released that same year. I have a full time job, a wife and a kid. If a game is too long and feels like a chore I drop it immediately.

I even sold my pc and got a steam deck because it was the only way I could put a few extra hours a week in games. I may not be playing games at 1440p144hz but at least I actually play them now

Other than graphics, what did they change of TLOU 1 for the remake?

You're spot on. I try to tell this to my family when they drop $60 on a brand new game. They play it for 3 hours and then that's it. They don't touch it for awhile. They work full time and have 2 days off and have a backlog of games to play. To me, it's a waste unless you're playing the heck out of it.

The value of the game is relative to your own life style. If you are only willing to fully immerse yourself into a game for a couple hours a week... wait for the price to drop unless it is one of those titles you just can't wait to have (like for me it would be FF7 rebirth when it comes out).

I think the Dead Space series needed a remake, or at least a rerelease since they’re not available for PS4 commercially.

I call Oddjob!

Dead Space is the far more ambitious, and improved, of the two remakes.

It’s actually good they remade dead space, because it shows that its possible that dead space 4 will be coming, so yes it needed a remake to start the series back up again.

Is that modded minecraft?

So, remakes are only worth it if you want them?

don't you have to shoot off his hat first?

Dead Space for sure.

Last of Us remake was just cleverly released to profit from the show market.

But honestly, neither game really needed a remake. Remakes of 90s and early 2000s games are fine.

Resident Evil 4 will surely be the remake that humbles both of them.

I WISH! That was such an incredible game. Too bad they cancelled it 😥

I would rather have had a Days Gone 2

except there are many other ways to pay with no age verification behind them.

I used to use paysafecards all the time when I was a kid, wasted all my allowance on metin2 and shakes and fidget without my parents even knowing.

Pay to win is shitty, but who's paying to win against AI? Also it's got to be online to see who's got the deepest pockets
