Man, I thought Outlast was scary ... till I played it in VR!!!!

I've heard lots of people say they love playing horror games, have played them all, for years. Then playing a new RE in VR and...NOPE! 15 minutes of that is all they could handle!

So bravo for being able to handle it.

I attempted to buy Nintendo Switch Sports Resort at my local EB Games (Canada) this evening after seeing a movie (I have another game to trade in, and if you do a trade and buy a new game, less than 2 weeks on shelves, then you get a trade in $ bonus). They said they haven't unboxed their shipments/done inventory yet (...they had all day?)

So I drove over to another EB Games...but they were closed? At 6:30pm?

Sometimes I wish you guys could just do a new article with a new numbering or at least modify the comments so a new discussion can begin without interacting with 100+ five year old comments.

1.) It took me less than 2 seconds to scroll down to find the new comments.

2.) Keeping all the old comments allows me to Ctrl+F and see if I've commented already and what I've said, so I don't have to repeat myself. If it was a new page every time, we'd all be going round and round saying the same thing again and again.

Violence, blood, gore, etc. have absolutely nothing to do with what makes a video GAME good.

I understand the point you're making, but will push back a bit.

Violence in games/movies/books can make it a rewarding experience.

Just like fans of cozy games say: "It's so cuuuuuuute! SQUEE!"

I prefer games that are "badass".

But yes, you're right of course, just throwing blood and body parts around doesn't automatically make a game a good game. Just like "Wow! You can pet the animals!" doesn't make a game a good game.
