VR legs. Don’t overdo it. Give yourself time to get accustomed to it.

Explorer. I was tempted by Achiever but that heavily depends on the game.

I am unfamiliar FH, are the billboards the same as the ones in Burnout Paradise? If yes, I know your pain.

Astrobot. If you're not grinning and smiling whilst playing you're dead inside.

We are all too familiar with collectibles and how some franchises truly take the piss. What are games that do it right? I'd say Titanfall 2 and Astrobot do it very right. Titanfall 2 has one type of collectible: Helmets. Every Chapter hides one or more Helmets and generally they are within your line of sight if you look around: they emit of hard-to-miss blue light. Titanfall 2 is all about mobility of manoeuvrability and the Helmets are sort of small puzzles. How do I get from here to where the Helmet is? Double Jump to the platform, wall run, jump towards the other wall, wall run and jump off at the end to land on the pipe where the Helmet is. Fun! You know where the Helmet is, all you need to do is to find out how to get there by using the game's mechanics. I think I found about 75% of the Helmets now and have yet to ask the guide. In every level in Astrobot (VR game), eight wee robots hide. When you are near one, they'll yell and cheer. You kind of know where they are, so all you need to do is work with the mechanics the game provides you. Look over the edge, look behind you, destroy a wall, lean forward and turn your heard right to peak in that small crevice. As a VR game, looking around is what you naturally do, and the collectibles are perfectly implemented. All but one I found myself:

I’d say both can be difficult to like. It’s a rather stoic affair with gunplay that definitely feels old fashioned. But if you are in it for the story and the sheer bleakness of the world it’s set in, you’re in for a treat. I recommend Last Light over 2033.

Again, bit harsh. People have families to take care of, mortgages to pay. Plus I highly doubt any other studio does not hire a texture artist just because of “Fallout 76” on their cv.

Kind of harsh. Texture artists, level designers, audio engineers and many more jobs are negatively affected by this. They did not release the game in this state, neither did the QA department.

Thanks for answering. And it was not my intention to come across as disappointed or upset, it was a genuine question coming from bad flashbacks of the restart loading times on Burnout PSP. No hard feelings

No clue. Maybe Spider-Man if it hits the 20 quid mark.

@CrashedAlex Maybe this is just me, but very little kills my enthusiasm than a lengthy load time after I chose “Restart”. Mistakes happen during a time trial or score attack, and a lengthy load time really adds insult to injury. edit: when I hastily typed the above I seem to have forgotten to make a point. So, uhm... please have an instant restart option in Dangerous Driving.

I do not know what surprised me more: the lack of a Half-Life 3 announcement or Randy Pitchford’s choice for fashion.

Guess not

The original music best be there. None of that remixed nonsense.

Every degenerate can start streaming, case in point. The hurdle to start is nonexistent, all you require is basic camera and a popular game to gain traction. Be obnoxious, be an edgy racist, be toxic... you get an audience plus an income. It might not be much, but you get paid to be a degenerate. And truth be told, I do not know what is real any more. This entire thing might the staged (disclaimer: I am not claiming it is) just to gain “name and fame”.
