Topic: Welcome/Introduction Thread

Thanks everybody.

@Keith_Zissou I'm mostly into RPGs and strategy games but I play a little bit of everything. My favourite series, if nostalgia counts, is Final Fantasy. Without nostalgia though I would have to say Mass Effect and Elder Scrolls.

@robhr Hi and welcome. Can't go wrong with those series. Oblivion and Mass Effect 2 are two of my all-time favorite games.

I could see @RogerRoger doing that at his computer just like Obi Wan there.

@Indoorhero hey buddy, know what you mean about having a lack of people irl to chat this kinda stuff with… think you’ll meet a fair few people who like to chat about them here though. Welcome!

@Indoorhero
Hello chap (chapette?).

I dont wish to talk about CoD or FIFA.
Thank you.

@Indoorhero

I recognize your name from when you used to be on Xbox.

@Indoorhero I’ll actually add to what @Keith_Zissou said… although I was thoroughly enjoying my gaming prior to me finding this place, being able to chat things over and discover games that I would never have considered previously has only added to the fun.

@Indoorhero Makes sense, but yes, I still have my Series X. The PS5 is my main platform as well, but they'll have some games that I'll want to play like Bethesda games, Hellblade 2, and Gears 6, so it'll get kept for games like that.

@Indoorhero Well, I'd be more worried about the resolution than I would be whether the disc drive is being used or not. The Series X is still superior to the S if resolution matters to you, but if you're not going to use it much, then I guess that matters less.

@Indoorhero There's always room for another Yakuza fan round these parts

Maybe I should keep it secret that I didn't like Like a Dragon much at all when I tried it via Game Pass on my Series X. Oops....

My main issues were the fact that you'd sit there watching cinematics far more than actually doing anything. I loved Metal Gear Solid 4, which is a game that has very lengthy cinematics, but you also get plenty of lengthy gameplay sequences too. That and the fact that too much of the dialogue was just them standing their lip syncing to text on the screen. That's ok in a JRPG like Scarlet Nexus or Tales of Arise as that's the style of storytelling, but when you literally have a cinematic that is fully voiced that eventually turns into reading the rest of the scene just screams that they were being cheap rather than it being a style of storytelling.

Sorry to be a downer, but just explaining my reasoning and joining the discussion.

I'm not knew to the site per say, I'm a nintendo lifer, But I might pop in here from time to time. Hello!
(I know a few people here but so many other knew folks.)

Edit: also sorry if I don't respond right away.

@RogerRoger @Indoorhero Thanks you guys! I feel welcome already!

I'm kinda air headed when it comes to playstation as a subject tho LOL.

Hey @Snatcher, welcome to the other side 👋

@colonelkilgore Thanks. Er, do you by any chance love Xbox? Just asking.

@Snatcher not particularly, haven’t had one since the 360… what a strange question! 🤔

@colonelkilgore Well your avater is, er, um, interesting LOL.

@Snatcher it’s a social commentary 🧐

@colonelkilgore Well, your profile isn't by any chance a man shooting a laser at a PS5, is it?

@Fragile Thank you for the Warm welcome.
