Finally, You Can Feel Like You're Getting Punched While Playing A Game With Assassin's Creed Mirage Haptic Suit

  • Getting closer to "you die in game you die in real life".

    • Gaming hot takes?

  • It's hard to find something unique but I've found some of my favorite games by taking a gamble and playing a game I don't know much about. If the box art looks cool or I like the trailer I give it a try. Game critics don't help much as they only like specific kinds of games so I can't rely on them too much.

  • I definitely agree it applies to all media. There's always something good to find but you need to dig sometimes. A great AAA game is normally well made and can be a lot of fun but rarely are they unique or surprising.

  • People who get video game burnout or say gaming is dead or whatever are victims of AAA marketing.

    Most of the time I see posts like this they complain that they bought all the newest games with great reviews and aren't having any fun. Normally it's Sony games and other cinematic experience kind of games. Or they are games that they put 100's of hours into. They are doing the same stuff over and over and getting bored.

    Unfortunately critics care more about production values and polish than novel game mechanics. Plenty of interesting games get overlooked due to being a little weird or not fitting in modern game conventions. If you only play the big budget AAA stuff you are going to get burnt out because they all copy each other trying to be the next "big game". If you play games that get bad reviews, have weird mechanics, or do something different you won't get burnt out. I like to recommend the Gravity Rush games to people who have a playstation and are burnt out on the "cinematic" games. They typically have never heard of it and end up having a blast with them. Makes me sad when I see people still buying games based on metacrtic scores. They miss out on so much.

    • AFI - The 100 Greatest American Films Of All Time

    Jump

  • This list is very unpretentious lol. I recognize everything they listed and have seen almost half of them. They are some the most famous films of all time. Also Citizen Kane is considered the best because it broke a lot of rules set by studios and it was copied by just about everyone. Cinema wouldn't be the same without it.

    • What's your favorite B-Grade game?

    Jump

  • I'd count anything from Grasshopper Manufacture. They are the kings of B-Grade games.

    • Rainbow Six Fan Who Was Banned 80x Sentenced For Ubisoft Swatting | Kotaku

    Jump

  • Banned 80 times lol. Statistically I was probably team killed by this guy with the amount of siege I played. Not sure what it is about that game that attracts the most unhinged players.
