Buying a game for someone in another country

3 Upvotes

I want to buy No Room In Hell 2 for a friend who lives in Canada (I am in the US), but I'm not sure the best way to do this.

If I buy it on Steam or Loaded, can I just give him the code so he can download it? Will it work like that from different countries?

This short survey explores how people perceive the visual identity of video games. It aims to understand which visual elements (such as logos, colours, characters and overall style) make a game feel recognisable, communicate its genre and atmosphere, and leave a strong first impression. Your responses will help identify how gamers and non‑gamers interpret visual branding differently.

Something I’ve always been enamored with in videos games is boss fights. They may have been what initially hooked me on them back when I was a kid. What’s your favorite(s)?

Is it normal for guys to rage/get loud/slam things while playing intense video games?

My boyfriend tells me it’s normal for guys to yell or slam things during intense video games (he plays MLB The Show) but I only ever played single player games. Do games like that really get that intense that you might break a controller?

Open-ended Emotional Investment In Video Games

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm currently doing preliminary market research to help develop my thesis! This is being used for a school project for research purposes only. My current hypothesis is: Players who enjoy RPGs appreciate games that allow them to become emotionally invested in characters, relationships, and story outcomes.

I would love to hear from a wide range of people!

  1. Do you prefer games where the player character is a stand-in for you, or games where the character is already defined?
  2. Can you tell me about a time when you became emotionally attached to a character in a video game? What made that character meaningful to you?
  3. What kinds of relationships between characters make you feel the most invested in a game's story?
  4. How important is it to you to feel that your choices influence the relationships or outcomes in a video game?
  5. What makes you continue thinking about a game's characters or story after you've stopped playing?
  6. Can you describe a game's story or relationship that disappointed you? What do you wish the game had done differently?

Thank you :D!

20m is it weird to be gaming friends with 18f and 16f?

0 Upvotes

I met them in an online game and we vibed super well and it was very funny. They are sisters, and later on in the day they told me they are 16 and 18. which i am completely certain there is nothing wrong with being friends with an 18 year old. but 16 is what im worried about. i told the 18 year old sister that i will only play with the 16 sister if the 18 is there. but still...should i be talking to the 16 yr old sister at all even? i mean we all got along and was fun. i have no bad intentions at all im actually super gay. not sure what the general thought it about this is tho...let me know thanks

What is the best game released in last 10 years in your opinion?

0 Upvotes

What do you think is the best game released in last 10 years? For me it's Slitterhead and it's not even close. Incredible atmosphere and really good and unique gameplay mechanics. Also great replay value and solid challenge on the hardest difficulty. It's actually the only game released after 2012 that I would rate 10/10.

Is it still worth buying a PS5 now, or should I just wait for the PS6? Mainly getting it for GTA VI

0 Upvotes

I haven’t played PlayStation in a couple of years, and I’ve been seriously thinking about getting back into gaming mainly because of GTA VI.

The thing I’m stuck on is whether it makes sense to buy a PS5 now or just wait for the PS6.
I know nobody can predict exactly when the PS6 is coming or what it’ll be like, but I’m wondering what people who currently have a PS5 would do in my situation.

Would you buy a PS5 now if you were basically starting from scratch, or would you wait for the next generation?
A few things I’m curious about:

Is the PS5 still worth it if I’ve barely played games in the last few years?

Do you think GTA VI alone justifies buying one?

If you bought a PS5 recently, do you feel like it was worth it?

Would you recommend the regular PS5 or PS5 Pro for someone mainly interested in GTA VI?

I’m honestly leaning toward getting one now because I’m not sure I want to wait years just to play GTA VI šŸ˜‚, but I’d love to hear what other people would do.

Game-specific Does anyone remember this game? It's about Alzheimer's.

0 Upvotes

Hi, I know this game, whose name I can't remember but I know what it's about, was focused on Alzheimer's. It had a hotel theme with red wallpaper and old walls. It had the soundtrack of "The Caretaker: Everywhere and at the End of Time" on an old record player. With each floor you went down, the more you went through the floors, the more everything crumbled: the wallpaper and objects appeared in places they shouldn't be. The only thing I remember is that it seemed like "The Shining" because of a poster of the Golden Hall that appears in the movie. I also remember there were notes that talked about the protagonist, and as you went through the floors, they became confusing and even nonsensical. The game ended in the last room, which had elements like a hospital room, with many letters stuck everywhere. I remember this game because of a gameplay video of someone who played it, but I don't remember who it was. There was an enemy, but I don't remember what it looked like. That's all I know. If anyone has more questions, please explain.

Should I get a PS5 or a Switch 2 to replace my PC while at dorm.

0 Upvotes

For more information I have a gaming PC. I've had the switch 2 and ps5 in the past for exclusive only but ended up selling them, PC has always been what's stuck the most. Now that I'm in the dorm and I couldnt bring my PC. What should I get for dorm life. My friends at home play PC but also have a ps5 and not Nintendo switch 2. But my switch library is way bigger then my ps5 library atm due to owning the switch 1 sinch launch in 2017. Don't have any console as of right now they were sold for my PC build. I have 850 and wanted to know if it's worth getting the switch 2 or getting the ps5 to replace my PC.

Open-ended Why do I not give a shit about all games being digital on PC, but I refuse to buy digital on my consoles

0 Upvotes

there HAS to be some sort of explanation for this?

I've always been a physical only gamer. I bought all my games on CD ROMs for PC until Steam came along. I don't miss them at all. On the other hand, I refuse to buy digital on console unless it's mandatory (game does not have a physical release) and I would gladly pay extra for a physical game than digital. I've been like this since digital games were a thing on console (PS3 era?)

What’s a game you bought completely blindly without seeing reviews or trailers that ended up becoming one of your favorites?

8 Upvotes

For me, it was Hollow Knight: Silksong. I bought it completely blindly last year without watching reviews or trailers, mainly because everyone I knew was playing it when it launched. I actually ended up playing Silksong before playing the original Hollow Knight. I know that might shock some people here, but I was not expecting to fall in love with the game that much and ended up playing hollow knight after I finished Silksong. It quickly became one of my all-time favorite games!! What about you guys?

Open-ended Games that ruined themselves or severally changed for the worse with major updates and overhauls?

12 Upvotes

Inspired by an exchange I had in another sub about a guy wishing games wouldn't change or overhaul from release because he misses the originals, I used Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky as an example of an overhaul saving or significantly improving a game and it sparked my interest.

Can you think of any games that were great or at least good that were ruined or had community beloved features ruined by major updates or overhauls?

The ones that come to my mind are sunsetting gear and removing playable locations in Destiny 2 and paid creations in modern Bethesda titles.
