I'm getting a little bit excited for B42.

@LadyMarth01 Yeah. They really set a gold standard and I'd really struggle to think of a better FPS experience. I've always loved their minimalist story experience, where you have to go looking for the story. It's a simple idea but it's so clever.

Any tips for someone trying to get into ?

I've played a few games and could never get into it. What am I missing. What do you think would help improve my experience?

The work to make this is impressive enough but the imagination, especially to think of that spontaneous track placement, is genius.

@LadyMarth01 I don't remember but I probably buried the pain somewhere deep :)

While its good to see that books still hold their own (in revenue generating terms) with films & music (they outperform both), the big news is that video games generated more revenue globally than books & music combined.

As someone who has never played a video game, but reads a lot of books, I'm not sure how I feel about this... but it tells us something about where the globe's creative & receptive energies seem to be spent.

I think there is something to be said for interactive media. I think, in many ways, that is the appeal for me. Books improve vocabulary and develop imagination, but like film and music, they're very much a passive media.

The main problem with gaming is, with being big business they're already started homogenizing the content like they already do with music and film and this has led to dull and unimaginative content which, sadly, most people are fine with.

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon

Understandable. I think there are games for everyone. But please don't be under the impression that all games require hand/eye coordination.

A friend of mine, who passed away, loved strategy games over all others. Those games can typically be played at their own pace.

A good example would be something like Crusader Kings 3 (or 2). These games are about the continuation of your family through the ages. They're historical and quite cerebral. Not reactions.

I love the little nods to the computer game in Fallout TV show. Like the hacking, amongst other things.

@EighthLayer Yeah. I also was glad to see that because I'm a tart and I can't stand to see dogs get hurt.

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds Pay to win in a single player game. Truly the end-times. What is depressing to an older gamer like me is, this game will still sell like hotcakes because nobody will complain, thus guaranteeing that this sort of greedy behaviour is all but certain to continue.

Strider,
@Strider@mstdn.games avatar

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds

Yup. Read up on what Blizzard are doing at the minute, it's a joke. But gamers are not discerning customers, which means anyone who does value quality are utterly screwed.

I fear this might mean Miggy is on his bike, which makes me really sad because for all his failings, you always get 100% from Miggs.

    Yeah. He's very important right now. I've always liked Bravvy, he's solid.

    @philheppenstall @NUFC

    I think we're back to FFP might prevent us from getting De Gea too. I get the impression we're on a knives edge.

    @Strider@mstdn.games avatar

    @philheppenstall @NUFC

    Also, would a player like him take a 4 month contract?

    Strider,
    @Strider@mstdn.games avatar

    @philheppenstall @NUFC

    I think he's waiting for a longer contract, would be my guess. I think that and maybe wages is the reason we've not signed him. That and the fact we still have Bravvy. At a push, we could even fall back on Karius.
