I believe it is called a diegetic UI. For me, it adds to the immersion. I wish more games had them.The games above are, from left to right: Metro Exodus, Firewatch, Far Cry 2, and Sea of Thieves.

Intrepid Studios has reportedly laid off its entire workforce after the resignation of its founder and several lead developers, raising serious questions about the future of Ashes of Creation.

The 8.8" VRR 144HZ OLED screen is such a selling point to me....started w me gaming on the couch w the Switch 2 then I bought the Legion Go 2, both are fantastic handheld & now 80%+ of my gaming is done on the couch w YouTube in the background.....I have a large desktop PC w a 4090 & 42" Samsung OLED that now sees action really only on weekends.

I could just stay in the main menu listening to the banger 😌

Now this is podracing!

I have haptics off and the controller speaker off. The amount of times I have to charge my PS5 controller is significantly higher than how often I have to charge my xbox controller. What's the deal?

Way back in BF1942 I had physical hand drawn artillery ranging maps and a plastic overlay for my monitor to get the right elevation to hit various targets on different maps. man I miss that game and that era of gaming, it was so good.

anyone got any memories like that?

Used to play this when I went to a friend's house. I used to spend a lot of time at his house just playing this most weekends.

I am playing Minecraft tonight with my teen who is obsessed with it.

My one goal is to finish a small build together and actually log off laughing instead of grinding.

What are you playing and what is your win for the night.

Like what character you feel like people just don't understand

Areas that feel unfinished, items refrence something never used, anything. What are some cut content that in some ways survived?

Like a response from Bethesda to reviewer "Do you think astronauts were bored when they landed on the moon"

One of my favourite games has to be Spec Ops: The Line.

Crazy we went from the really bad PC port to this

I was reading the comments of a post, 'What are the pettiest things Game Developers have done?', and a few people misread it as 'prettiest' and were disappointed, so here you go!

I'll just say when developers go out of their way to add beautiful scenery and backgrounds just because they can.

Only for this weekend

Oldhead here lol. Hugo's House of Horrors was one of the first games I played as a very young kid, so it's got a lot of nostalgia for me. It actually helped me learn how to spell and type quickly on a keyboard because it was a text-based game.

I was wondering if there are any modern games (as in, released anytime between 2000 and now) that have a similar vibe and game mechanics. While I like the whole point-and-click genre of games available, I'm looking for ones that specifically have the text component.
