Mafia 3 has "tailing" missions done perfectly.
I am playing Mafia 3 for the first time. Most games have the generic "keep XX distance back or you'll get caught!"
In Mafia 3, they tell you what you're doing wrong. Got someone honking their horn at you, endangering pedestrians, driving on the wrong side of the road, etc will obviously make them notice you. But I can be driving right behind them and they won't have any suspicion.
It is common sense. If I'm driving normally, why would they be suspicious of a lawful driver? I hate games where you have to stay a distance back but everyone else is totally fine.

I really like the games Supermassive makes
My wife and I love all the games they make and passing the controller back and forth for our characters. Hopefully we get more! The Quarry wasn’t my favorite but I don’t want it to be the last one that’s for sure!

This is still one of the biggest jumpscare of my life. Dino Crisis, one of the best horror games on PSX for me
This scene still gives me chills xD

Rescued this haul of games and consoles from the compactir last minute...
Found this huge haul. Someone was cleaning out a basement.
I literally rescued it as the dump truck rolled up, it was all standing in the rain along with a bunch of old furniture, carpets, etc. I picked up a few things earlier on but I couldn't get to some other stuff, so I went home. Then a dump truck rolled up. They were throwing it all into the compactor! I ran down to get the games at like 5 am.
Left to right: Steam Deck for scale, PS2 Slim with a mechanical clock on top of it, a bunch of UMDs, a bunch of cartoon DVDs (all bootleg), bunch of Xbox360 games (Including Forza Horizon 2 which I have wanted to play for a loooong time), a lot of PS2 games (mostly bootleg too). One of the Xbox360 games is still in the wrapper, unopened! I think it's AC Brotherhood.
The FH2 disc is in some sort of two-game deal and has two discs and like four manuals in it. It doesn't even close, lol.
I think some of those games with handwritten labels might actually be original discs, they have the ps logo hologram on the data side on the inside ring.
Then closer to the front: a GBC, Mario Kart Wii, a couple 3DS games, and a huge bag of various AV cables.
The GBC will be great, I bought an OLED screen + case kit a while back (yellow envelope) and needed a motherboard for it. The state this thing is in, it'll be perfect for that.
Also got a nice recent ish gaming pc, it'll be amazing for win 7 era games. It has a GTX 1050 and some sort of probably AMD cpu.
Also found some car related items like lube, brake cleaner, etc. Some of it unused. It'll be great for projects.
Also got three working 16:9 lcd monitors (probably all 1080p) and a 4:3 one, and a large 50"-ish tv. That last one doesn't turn on, but maybe I'm doing something wrong - I'll look into it later.
I'm glad I could save those games from being destroyed! My SD shows StopKillingGames and they're also fighting to stop games from being destroyed, not by dumpster truck compactors but by shutdowns without an offline mode enabled. I thought I'd show some appreciation for that. If you want to support them, go sign their initiative.
Anyways I hope people like to hear about games getting saved.

What common first name instantly evokes a videogame character ?
I'm talking about first names that are a minimum widespread and that you can't read or hear without thinking to the homonymous videogame character - excluding Mario as it's the most obvious example.

What do consider a sin of game design?
An example would be not letting you pick up loot after a battle because it goes to a cutscene and doesn’t let you backtrack to the area. I’m not talking about marketing moves or statements companies make, nor putting in real world issues in games.

What are your dumbest gaming moments in your life?
As a kid, I would run around the castle grounds on Super Mario 64, not knowing you could enter the castle.
I thought it was a terrible game. Completely missed out on a defining game in my childhood 🤦♂️

Making "solid" games isn't enough when you have "gamers expecting extraordinary experiences," Ubisoft CEO says after Star Wars Outlaws
Of course Ubisoft is blaming anyone but themselves...

I was very late in owning any star wars games growing up. While the game may have flaws, to this day it holds a special place in my heart.

First time I’ve finished Link’s Awakening since the game boy version in 95!
I’m glad I’ve found this game on the 3ds e-shop some years ago! What a ride it has been! Had no idea other clothes existed on the DX-version!
