Physical games in recent consoles are getting rarer, some companies only release digital versions of their games and I believe PC physical games are even rarer, do any of you PC gamers buy games on their physical version? If you do how difficult is to find PC games on this format?

I still remember a time when Layers of Fear was praised as a brilliant horror game, and I was fortunate enough to play it and become an open fan of it before the winds shifted and it became trendy to utterly despise this company and everything they touch.

I suppose my question is, when and how did this change of attitude in the gaming sphere at large happen? I am genuinely curious. I know that there have been recent reevaluations regarding how the company (mis)handles mental health representation, and that's fair, but just in terms of enjoyment of playing their games, I honestly can't bring myself to hate their stuff.

Layers of Fear is legitimately one of my favorite horror games of all time, and I really loved the atmosphere and story of Observer. I haven't played any others yet, so perhaps I'm just missing out on their worst stuff, but seriously... I was excited when I heard they were leading the SH2 remake project, but everyone around me is saying this is the worst thing in the world. The head of the company already said that they are no longer making walking simulators and that SH2 will have plenty of player agency and feel faithful to the original. What evidence is there that this is a lie?

Basically the title. I'm looking for something that's really challenging, something that takes a lot to master, but not because of some annoying mechanic, because it's truly a test of skill.

I've recently perfected every level on the hardest difficulty on one of my favourite games, ULTRAKILL, I spent a lot of time grinding to beat all of the dark souls, I loved beating every boss in terraria and I grinded a lot to reach the number one spot in my country as the fastest runner for a really cool parkour-speedrunning game, cyberhook, but it's been months and I can't seem to get that thrill of beating something actually hard.

I'll appreciate anyone who'll take the time to share their experience and maybe give me the inspiration to try something new.

Thanks!

So, last Christmas, my daughter got a Switch from Santa. I got her Super Smash and Mario Kart because I thought they made good entry level games. She has really enjoyed them and as her birthday approaches I would like to expand her library of games.

I looked into getting her Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild as I think she will like the more open word experiences. However I can’t believe that these titles, both 6 year old, still cost full price.

Why does Nintendo not reduce price for older games. Zelda has a new title now, why would I buy a 6 year old game when the new one is the same price?

Another unrelated note, as an older gamer myself, I’ve looked into upgrading my old X-Box one to the series X only to find it’s more expensive now than it was several years ago. I’ve never been someone who needed to play the newest titles or consoles and have always enjoyed reduced costs for older games as a reward of being behind the curve. What happened to gaming?

Seriously, it's just awful at this point. You look up something about a game, like "Oh, what are all the shotguns available in this game?" and it's just pages and pages of articles with stupid clickbait titles like "TOP 5 BEST SHOTGUNS EVER IN THIS GAME!" You can't just find a comprehensive list of the shotguns, and their stats or something. It's always articles, and the articles aren't even informative. Most of the time they have the most basic info that you can gather without even playing the game. "Oh, this shotgun is good in close quarters, and with this upgrade it can even kill enemies in one shot if you're close enough." Okay? That's like, the most basic info ever. It doesn't have anything specific. Finding actual guides and info and wiki's for games on Google is a fucking chore now, and I really am getting sick of it.

Edit: to those saying I don't know how to Google search, I do. That's not the point. I now have to narrow down and specify my search rather then those popping up. I find these multiple basic bitch articles annoying as hell, and a ton of them pop up when you search without specifying a wiki. I'm remembering back to the older days when you searched for info on games, and actual useful results came up. Now it's just gaming articles written by people who haven't even played the game, or have a base level knowledge.
