Enless i miss read something aint PGA 2k21 a mostly single player game

@Gaming365247 single player narrative/non sports games*

PGA 2k21 straddles the line in terms of being a single/multiplayer game, in my opinion. The gameplay may be single player but mechanically and structurally it's more akin to a multiplayer.

Not to suggest there aren't more examples, but the only single player game I can think of off the top of my head (apart from the Shadow of War debacle) is Flight Simulator - the different tiers and versions are ridiculous. To unlock Heathrow I have to buy the most expensive edition? It's Heathrow for god's sake.

Also - I know season passes are a thing but they don't stop me from playing and completing the main story. I rarely ever buy passes and never feel like I'm missing out.

I hope none of the clickers were Sully!

....they actually hacked the Game Awards website to make Ghost of Tsushima 100% and everything else 0%. There’s petty and then there’s gamers.

@nessisonett I can’t handle another voting fraud controversy. 😜

I may have found my new avatar since poor old Petey has had his face replaced.

@crimsontadpoles Oh really, what do you work as?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I'm a programmer. It's been a bit busy lately, but things should quieten down from this weekend onwards as we get closer to the holidays.

A tasty chilli con carne perked me right up making me feel much better, so I decided to actually play some Cyberpunk 2077 instead of waiting until the weekend. I'll add some very initial thoughts into the main Cyberpunk thread, but I'm enjoying what I'm seeing so far.

@Ralizah ‘It’s about ethics in games journalism’ inbound in 3, 2, 1...

@nessisonett lol

The NL chat was awash with anger at TLOU Part II's clean sweep.

It's still weird to me how every year, we have some new group of movies/games/etc. that get thoroughly swept up in the culture wars.

@Ralizah The comment section on NL’s article about it is getting somewhat dicey but then again, I’m not exactly surprised. I also just don’t really get why people are calling it ‘woke’ and stuff. Like I understand there are guys out there who seem to think having any sort of woman in a game is political but it’s not like these people are calling the first game ‘woke garbage’ despite it being made largely by the same people in the same setting. It just seems a strange one to railroad as ‘the worst game ever’.

The new Abe game looks so good from the trailers. I really hope it turns out to be fun.

Also from last night;

@crimsontadpoles I'm glad you're enjoying what you're seeing so far of Cyberpunk 2077, also, I wonder if you made your chilli con carne with beef and not lamb mince, which do you prefer? I think lamb is supposedly better for you but I prefer beef myself, I like meatballs made with beef mince as well. Do you like meatballs? I think that they're excellent when some sort of cheese, preferably parmesan ,is cooked into them.

For those of you that have played GoW 2018

@nessisonett you know what i notice about NLife?

nintendo is known to be the all inclusive family friendly game developer where everyone has a place.

nintendo fans over on NLife seems to be the very opposite of what nintendo stands for. racism,sexism,biggotory and blind hatred is everywhere in that place.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I always use beef mince. Can't remember the last time I did lamb mince, so not sure what it's like. Meatballs are nice, though I tend to just use mince instead since it's easier.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic We actually have veggie chilli most of the time now. One tin of kidney beans and one of mixed beans.

Not quite as good as with beef but just as easy to cook and good to have as one of our meat free meals.

I had a dream last night that antdickens scolded me because I didn't offer someone help (their thread was stupid and made no sense) and everyone started having a go at me.

I don't even engage in the community much here, let alone interact with Ant. What's wrong with my brain?

@RogerRoger Haha. I can't ever fall asleep now. He'll get me.

@Kidfried I don't know why I sat through that whole thing. I love Geoff, as a person, and what he's trying to do for the industry but I really didn't need to be there for that. Sleep is much for important.
