Diablo 3 is my go to game 

I find it incredibly relaxing. I can just pop on a podcast and grind for hours.

I’ll be starting over again soon....just waiting for the new season to begin

General / Re: What are your guys new years resolutions?

Mine are :

- to start a game collection & get to 50-ish games this year
- to get out and walk every day for at least 30 mins (I'm stuck at a desk most of the time for work)
- The big one: ignore trophies/achievements when gaming. I'd gotten obsessed with them and it was ruining my enjoyment of games tbh. Spent way too much time with my head in guides rather than experiencing the game properly. Also playing truly awful games to boost my score or not playing excellent but difficult games that could ruin my completion percentage. When I write all that down, its sounds crazy, but it is true for many many people. So, I've started a new account and turned off trophy notifications. I am enjoying gaming a lot more already

Modern Video Games / Re: How important are graphics to you?

« on: January 02, 2019, 09:16:56 am »

Depending on the game, I'd say I am a mild graphics snob

With something that it supposed to have 'realistic' graphics, I struggle to go back even to last gen games tbh.

Equally, I am blown away when I see something next level. From last year, Detroit : Become Human springs to mind. The gameplay was shallow, the story was divisive, but the graphics really make the game stick in my mind as something special.

Having said that, art direction is WAY more important to me. Off the top of my head I'd take Darkest Dungeon, DQXI, Ni No Kuni or Dead Cells over something like The Order:1886 for example.

Not sure I’ll manage 52, but I will give it a good crack
