  • I stay away from driving simulators mostly because I hate cars in general, unless it’s Quarantine or Carmageddon.

    Making something VR compatible games pushes towards certain design choices that empoverish the desktop experience.

    I have heard great things of Senua’s Sacrifice, but I downprioritized it for years now exactly due to that design aspect.

    There are a lot of assumptions there.

    First of all, I am sure that is part of something much larger and it is a real neighborhood, not something hypothetical.

    Second, I don’t see people giving up their car brains just because you put a tram. I myself would still be using a car if it wasn’t made completely superfluous and fatiguing where I live and work.

    Nah not really, such low population density requires cars to be used. If you think tearing that down would be simple, then yes. But I think that even in Atlanta that would be difficult. The reason why those highways are there is that more people wanted to live in that kind of neighborhood.

    The problem is the kind of stuff the industry tries to take shortcuts on.

    I decided to apply some filters in my choices and quality of entertainment went up by a lot:

    1. No Open World
    2. No Multiplayer-focused
    3. Has to be a valuable experience on Easy
    4. (Of course) no prepaid and no Early Access
    5. No VR-compatible

    Other than that, I am a patient gamer, I play all kinds of genres, just a bit less on the RPG and strategy side, and I like to support Indie developers by paying their games full price and kickstarting them.

    I am ok with playing short games if the experience and polish is there and I never do completions. I also buy very few DLCs and only if they add single player campaigns.

    Do this and I am quite sure you will fall in love with gaming again.
