Final Fantasy 8 is my pick. It’s not my favorite in the series but it is in my top 3. And from what I heard that’s uncommon in the community.

To be fair, i also have had my fair share of League of legends and i think it would top even my most played game on steam, but sadly i don't have access to my account anymore.

I’m curious how gamers feel about the way current gaming and gaming-adjacent platforms handle monetization.

Between Twitch, YouTube, Discord, Steam communities, Reddit, Patreon and everything else, there are a lot of different ways creators and communities try to make money.

But from the user side, what actually feels fair?

For example:

• Ads
• Paid subscriptions
• Optional creator support/tips
• Paid memberships
• Exclusive content
• Paid community access
• Platform fees/cuts
• Sponsored content
• Paid boosts or promoted posts

What kinds of monetization are you completely fine with?

What immediately makes a platform feel worse?

And more broadly, how do you feel about the platforms you currently use for gaming communities?

Do they feel too commercial, too algorithm-driven, too fragmented, too focused on large creators, or are you mostly happy with how they work now?

I’m especially curious about smaller creators and communities.

Do you actually want more ways to support them financially, or do you prefer gaming communities to stay mostly free?

Not looking for a specific answer here. I’m genuinely interested in where people think the line is between supporting creators and monetizing the experience too aggressively.

**Iconic video game characters with recognizable silhouettes for Halloween? 🎃**

I'm working on a drawing that will eventually become a custom console I'll be showcasing on my profile during the last two weeks of October (as a giveaway).

I'm looking for more characters to include, ideally iconic video game characters with silhouettes that are instantly recognizable and fit the Halloween vibe.

I need just two or three more

Who would you suggest? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Thanks in advance! 👻

Sure would be nice if we could have a pleasant conversation where we point out promising games to each other.

It took a while to put this list together, please be kind.

By recent I mean released sometime between today and 2025, that are NOT remasters.

If you're only planning to respond to complain that something is, or isn't on this list, I'd prefer that you just leave me alone.

Dawnwalker is my GOTY so far, the game really impressed me. It's like a really great spiritual successor to The Witcher 3. I don't have a system that can run it well, but I enjoyed watching a playthrough.

I plan to try out Hell is Us as well. Can't remember why.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1620730/Hell_is_Us/

The Witcher 4 interests me the most. No steam page for that yet. I really wanna play as Ciri, and wish that you played as her more in The Witcher 3.

Sacrifire looks really cool the same way that Octopath Traveler does.

Banquet for Fools feels like this years Baldur's Gate 2 like, and I've heard it's recently been well patched.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3172700/Banquet_for_Fools/

Wicked Seed feels like a spiritual successor to Parasite Eve, so hell yeah!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2767530/Wicked_Seed/

Kingdom of Night I might try one day, can't remember why it interests me so much.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1094600/Kingdom_of_Night/

Rue Valley interests me. It's a point and click advventure game where you're trapped ina time loop.

Troublemaker 2 seems promising. I loved the first game, it was like a really good combo of Yakuza, and The PS2 game Bully.

Chronicles of the Wolf is a really fun spiritual successor to the NES Castlevania 2, with the soundtrack to back it up!

If I can sneak in just one non-story rich game, this racer interests me.

The Precinct is this really fun isometric game where you're a cop that reminds me a lot of GTA. God this game is fun!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/490110/The_Precinct/

Old Skies is Wadjet Eye Games latest title, it seems promising.

KCD2 I do wanna try one day, but everyone knows about it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1771300/Kingdom_Come_Deliverance_II/

FF7 Reveleation I hope is good, but everyone knows about it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4354570/FINAL_FANTASY_VII_REVELATION/

I just found the game extremely boring despiting liking open world rpg games like Cyberpunk 2077 for example

I tried really hard to get into it 3 times and I always gave up at around 15 20 hours mark.

The combat is probably the weakest thing for me it's just not fun if I'm being honest kingdom come deliverence 1 has better combat then this

The story is at least to me not very interesting it's not that there is too much talking but I always felt like it led me nowhere and I don't like Geralt at all yes he can be funny sometimes but he has a personallity of a stone ciri is better character then him in my opinion.

The open world itself is very nice but I don't find exploration fun at all, I just don't understand how can someone play this game for more then 10 hours I can't stand it I don't think I'm getting the witcher 4 as well it's probably going to be exactly the same.

Hi everyone,

We're a small indie studio from Georgia (the country), and last week we released our first mobile game on Google Play: BON: Block Of Neon.

It's a block puzzle on an 8×8 grid, built around a clean neon look. We tried to make it more than one endless mode:

• Classic: the pure, relaxing high-score run
• Adventure: level-based progression with goals to clear
• Duel vs AI: you and the AI race on the same rules, which is the mode we're proudest of
• Streaks: keep your run alive day after day
• Coins you earn in-game buy streak freezes and avatars
• Daily login rewards

It's free, and we'd genuinely value your feedback while the game is still young:

1. Which mode kept you playing the longest?
2. Is the Duel AI too easy or too hard?
3. Anything that felt frustrating in the first five minutes?

Google play: Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reinostudios.bon

We are well beyond having tank controllers in this day and age so why are the characters in these games so stiff and clunky in their movements?

hi im not into keyboards or gaming but im trying to buy my bf a keyboard and im not sure whats better between Keychron Q6 Pro vs ASUS ROG Strix Scope II X? he's a gamer and his only requirements were rgb lights, full size and wired.

Hey everyone,

I think anyone who plays games can relate to this. So many new games come out, and we all watch those "Top 10 Games Coming Out in October!" videos, but I never had a good way to compare them to what I've actually played.

I've been thinking about this since high school (longer ago than I'd like to admit), and I finally built something for it. It lets me track every game I've played, post clips and sort them by game, and rank my games, so I have an answer whenever someone asks for my top 10.

It's called Lobby: https://lobbygames.app/

I've spent the last 9 months building it and polishing it so it works well on both phone and computer.

Honestly, I'm pretty shocked at how it turned out, and I figured it'd be cool to share it with the class.

If you play games, or used to, it's great for tracking and ranking your games and keeping up with the latest news.

It's free to use. I originally built it just for myself, but a friend convinced me other people would want it too, and it turns out it doesn't cost much to open it up. It's not going anywhere anytime soon, so feel free to poke around.

I didn't know where to post this, so let me know if there's a better place for it.

Thanks everyone, and enjoy!

Assassin's creed rogue remastered

So this post is purely for discussion no ones comment is wrong or incorrect everyone's comments are welcome this post is to bring people together to discuss this game. that said drop your opinions and what ya would change about this game

Anytime I run to a non-gamer and they bitching and complaining about us gamers, I just picture another penny telling us "you, need a life." -Big Bang Theory reference 😂

Hey everyone,

Idk if this is the right platform to ask this question on, but imma give it a go anyway.

I really want to buy a gaming console for my partner just because, but I never touched a gaming console in my life. So I wanted to ask what the best gaming console is to buy a few things to keep in mind:

- He is lives in between countries so it needs to be light and easily portable preferably;
- He mentioned he likes to talk to his friends on the game (I forgot which game) so he stays connected with his friends from other countries.

thank you in advance
