@Th3solution Just the thought of that has my eye twitching. More varied voices in games please! Especially when it comes to fantasy games, where everyoneās English, the posh characters sound like the Queen and the peasants are exclusively from Yorkshire.
@nessisonett š Amen to that! Although the American equivalent is probably the fact that every quippy character has to sound like a dude-bro from California ripped straight from the MCU. I really like having new and varied VAās in my games.

@Jimmer-jammer Did you play RE2 REmake? I decided to play it instead of Nioh 2 next, loving it so far. Got an op "build" with the infinite ammo for op weapons DLC pack. No infinite health items though. That would be too easy. Still gotta' survive!
@Yousef-
Yeah, I am loving RE2 REmake atm, but I was just thinking ahead and wondering if you could advise me as to what to play next from my Backlog, given that I have played a lot of Souls and action RPG games recently, and RE2 REmake is a welcome change from that. I could play RE4 REmake and then Silent Hill 2 Remake like I said in the Backlog Thread, but I'm keen to keep things fresh and I have other games like Death Stranding and Stray that could break things up a bit more before returning to the Souls action. Feel free to suggest other games based on what I've put in my backlog as well.
@Jimmer-jammer Having a blast playing it myself!. No, as I've heard 2 & 4 are the best and 3 has some issues, so, yeah just 2 & 4.
Edit: You seem to have played just about everything out there man! If I mention something I've played or am interested in playing, I can bet that you will have at least some familiarity with it, Idk how you find the time, considering your commitments and artistic pursuits.
Edit II: Then again you did say lack of sleep was a factor, but, hey, even so, you must have been playing games since an early age to have covered that much ground.
Edit III: The good thing about this medium, though, is that considering the vast quantity of games out there, and coming out all the time, is that you can never really run out of stuff to play - I'm interested, though, have you ever found yourself without an option of a game that interests you at any time?
@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN if you want a more ātechnicalā explanation behind RE3 remakeās quality as opposed to a āmetaā one, Iām going to provide it for you with zero spoilers and zero intentions to influence your expectations. So here goes.
On a ārawā and more ātechnicalā perspective. REmakw3 does not āsuckā as a video game. If experience in isolation, itās a fine game as is. Possibly a lot of fun and can be quite atmospheric.
The reason it might fail on a āmetaā context has everything to do with some more in-depth knowledge of RE. not only did the game cut so much OG-RE3, but it can be argued it did very little to deviate from REmake2 in particular as well.
Like it says in the book, we are blessedā¦ and we are cursed.
What ******* book?
@Yousef- Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that knowledge. Also, I heard that the gore/scare factors were dialled down from 2 to 3 so less satisfying combat overall, even though I get that the combat is not really the point of these games RE4 etc. excepted.
On a sidenote, I recently read an article where they said that FromSoftware had reached a "threshold" of difficulty with SOTE and couldn't make the bosses any harder, so for the next game ,on a "meta" level, the people were saying they wanted them to do something different, like they did with Sekiro or Bloodborne. Thoughts on that?
What happened to everyone? It looks like we're only getting a few dozen forum posts a day. I remember when Push Square got well over a thousand posts a day.
@WiiWareWave I've been spending my free time reading rather than gaming. I have plenty to play but the lure of a good book is far more exciting to me these days than gaming.
I still post in the "what are you reading?" forum. I still browse the site everyday for news and updates but not posting so much about games, will have to give some serious thought to whether I upgrade to Nintendo and Sony's next gen hardware. As I have a backlog not handy on Switch & PS5, but not really motivated to play anything. Hopefully that will change!

I have noticed that on Nintendolife as well. Use to be I couldn't keep up with how many posts there was now I see a new post in the forums like every few hours. I think nowadays there is so many more ways to connect now, Facebook, Twitter, Discord, Instagram etc. That people don't need forums anymore. Alos alot of people are older now more responsibilities, work, family they just don't have time to sit and post on a forum board anymore. I maybe check it 2 to 3 times a day now compared to when I first joined where I would be on it constantly, but that's due to my work mainly.

Iām honestly a super low maintenance kinda person. So a low activity forum is essentially heaven to me. I have really bad social anxiety thatās probably incompatible with my extroverted personality, but due to the latter I still demand a stream of interactions. Just ones that arenāt super constant. I feel so much more relaxed about the current state of the four Hookshot sister websites because of the small, tight knit community where it feels like everyone knows each other and everyone is friendly to each other. To repeat a comment I mentioned a few weeks ago, Iāve lurked around here since 2015. Iāve discovered this website because of Robertās Dynasty Warriors articles and felt really happy to see a website report on a game franchise I hold dearly and been playing for over two decades now. Not sure what else to say. I think Iām content with the way things are currently so long as the community remains alive and kicking.
Note: Not to ping BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN because I donāt wanna bother him but if youāre reading this, Iām going to respond to your comment very soon. I could not be very active today because Iāve had a nasty migraine, sleep deprivation and I also need to take my grandmother to the airport tomorrow. But at least Iāll be having a jolly good time with my old man. So everything is great and today Iāve also spent time visiting and rekindling my bonds with my mother and younger brother, so life been really great for me, in spite of the physical health and mental health issues Iāve been having, I canāt really complain.

@Yousef- I did see your post, and hope everything is ok. There is a Mental Health Awareness/Support Chat Thread on Push Square which you may or may not already be aware of. Hope you find it helpful if you do decide to post in there,
@Yousef- How are you? Haven't heard from you recently. Hope your physical and mental health are ok?
Hello friend, sorry to worry you. My silence is merely a coincidence and I was planning to give a reply eventually but I wasnāt finding the right words so Iām giving a shorter reply as a sign of reassurance. My life been busy. Busy but ok. Undeniably stressful but manageable nonetheless. I still cannot deny that Iām still having a hard time catching some shut-eye but I donāt feel bad physically. Mentally I feel ok, just the usual anxiety stuff. It doesnāt feel like a huge hindrance, not at the moment at least, I feel time management is everything for me. I took a day off today so Iāve had time for myself while still doing minor errands since I donāt like sitting at home all day. At least on thd gaming side Iāve been doing good. Finished Ape Escape 3 and itās likely my favorite 3D platformer now. I think Iām moving onto god of war on ps2. Have a massive ps2 backlog thatās likely keeping me content. Once again, sorry to worry you and seeing that thread link gave me a lot of relief. I really do feel a lot of relief and calmness knowing thereās a support network out there. Gives me a sense of calmness I canāt convey so itās quite nice.

@Yousef- Excellent to hear that you're doing well. I loved the og God of War games back on Ps3 - I played the entire original trilogy, including the third game on Ps4, had a great time with those games but they can be a bit button-mashy in my opinion, preferred the rebooted 2018 game with Cory Barlog once again at the helm of the ship.
