I still have nightmares with this:

Missing the most important one imo: Thou shalt not force me to recollect it every time I die. Read more

Try to have at least one collectible be as cool as this:

I think it’s a quest item in the sense that you can only get it through a repeatable quest. As far as I can tell, it heals you to full health and that’s all it does. Read more

Apparently it’s for a full hp and psi heal.....but as someone who was avoiding the Typhon powers I never use psi (the combat sense thing uses psi but I didn’t even use that until I reached the end of the game.) With the upgraded food perk and its abundance in general I never bothered to go pickup the fruit once it was… Read more

Has anyone figured out whether the super-fruit from the Arboretum sidequest does anything? I know it heals you, but they mark it as a fancy orange quest item, so I let it sit in my inventory for half the game. Read more

i don’t think there’s anything more annoying in games than an item that seemingly has no use. Maybe excessive types of currency could be a contender, but yeah, screw useless items. Read more

It’s fond memories brings comfort.

Yes but WHAT DOES THE PENDANT DO?! Read more

I agree with this. I feel like the game gave you plenty of warning that the end was coming so you should clean up all your loose ends before you got there. The security bots were a little annoying The running across the station through loading screens without any shortcuts was poorly thought out. The epilogue felt… Read more

Your touching on something here. Bioshock gets compared to prey al lot but honestly? The whole time It felt to me like it was trying to follow in half-life’s foosteps. Although I couldnt tell if it was just the wrench that made me feel that way. I expected the bit with the military Operator’s to happen ahead of time I… Read more

I’m the same way. Ever since I bought the game on my Vita I just play casually, farming, building, hunting, exploring. I don’t ever have any real goals.. it’s more of a vacation away from real life on my handheld. Read more

The more was added and the less i find a way to enjoy the game. It may sound weird, but i liked the minimalistic approach of the early days in survival. I was just living my own adventure doing more or less nothing and building crappy thing solo or on small server. As mods and advanced mechanic appeared i had to quit… Read more

I always come back to Minecraft. Years ago when it was still fairly young, I spent my weekends recreating all of Riven in a map. Its out there in the aether webs still. Read more

This is exactly how I play Minecraft, right down to that corner window. Read more

The title of this article is perfect. I have played it off an on for years now, with my favorite stretch of playing oddly enough being over the past year or so. My girlfriend LOVES it, like really really loves it and she is not a gamer in the traditional sense of the word. Read more

It’s one of my forever games. I find the vast majority of modern games forgettable bores. Minecraft is a great example of focusing on the only thing that matters: the gameplay. Read more

I’m with you here, although I mostly play Modded Minecraft these days. I spent like 20 bucks to buy it in early beta and have gotten so much time out of it over the years. There’s something just so compelling about the setup. Read more

Minecraft on Switch was my first actual, non-let’s_play contact with it, and I’m really enjoying it. Read more
