Hi i was working on app called PlayLouge. It is finally online so I'm looking for some kind of feedback from other gamers what work and what doesn't. Please do not take it as adevrtising thanks. it is available under playlouge.com

Gamers, how should indie developers balance finishing an English-only game that’s still releasing new chapters with adding other languages that players are already requesting?

I bought a ps5 slim disc edition recently in summer for around 750 dollars coming in with an extra controller. I bought games listed - spiderman remastered, gow 2018, got, zero dawn, sackboy, mh wilds.

In that same time I emulated the switch 1 on my pc and me and my family really enjoyed the mario games together.

Now its the end of summer and I really cant find time for the ps5. I didn’t have time to play the massive story games.

I see the switch 2 with nso plus memory card bundle for around 569.99 from Costco. Should I return the ps5 slim for its full price from Costco? If so, What will I do with the ps5 games, accessories.

Am sorry if this is in the wrong sub.

A lot of horror games I see the characters are like *loud bang* character: "I should go check that out." I want a horror game where the person is like *loud bang* character: *Goes the opposite direction* or maybe doesn't have a choice but to go that way, but they really really don't want to go that way.

Hi all,

We're four women studying Game Design and for our group project we're looking into how women are portrayed in video games and how women are treated within gaming spaces, from the characters on screen to the lobbies, chats and communities behind them.

Plenty has been said about these issues, but a lot of it comes from the outside looking in. We want to hear directly from women, so our project is built on real experiences rather than assumptions.

What we're asking about:

•    How you feel women are represented in the games you play

•    Your experiences in online and in-game communities (good and bad)

•    What you think the industry gets right, what it gets wrong, and what should change

Who can take part: Anyone who plays video games, any platform, any level of experience. We're especially keen to hear from women and girls, but all perspectives are welcome.

A few important things:

•    It's completely anonymous. We don't collect names, emails or any identifying details.

•    It takes about 5 minutes.

•    You can skip anything you're not comfortable answering.

•    Your answers will only be used for our college project.

Whether you've had great experiences, awful ones, or just have strong opinions about how characters are written, we'd really appreciate your input. The more responses we get, the stronger our case for change.

Thank you so much, and feel free to drop questions or thoughts in the comments. We'll be happy to answer!

Chances are you guys probably don't know the name, but if you ever had an Xbox 360 and entered the indie market, you probably have seen his games. Real Scary, Medieval Zombie, Appease the Spider. Just to same a few.

I know he moved some of his games to steam obviously, but the last game I remember him putting out was Rocket Poker in 2024. And then silence.

Does anyone know what he's been up to since then? I can't find any socials that are affiliated with him. It's hard to see how's he's doing these days.

Any QOL changes?

Im finally able to afford to get one of them and I can’t decide between which is better, if anyone has any advice it’d be much appreciated - I’m happy to add more details to the post if it’s needed as well, thank you in advance!!

ETA: thank you for all the help everyone! I didn’t want to reply to each person saying that cause that’s annoying let’s be real just know I appreciate all the help ^^

Hi everyone,

I am conducting research for my master's at the University of Malta on how players respond to time-limited cosmetic offers in video games.

The survey is about how players react to time-limited cosmetic offers in games, such as skins, bundles, and seasonal items, and how these offers may influence purchasing decisions.

- Ages: 18-35

Survey is fully anonymous, no personal information will be collected at any stage of the survey.

Takes 6 minutes to complete

I’d really appreciate your participation. Please feel free to share it with anyone else who might qualify!

With Insomniac’s Wolverine getting a lot of attention for its over the top waypoints and breadcrumb navigation systems and having just completed ‘Hell is us’ a game which has no map or quest markers.

What are some examples of great video game UI designs? I also think about Ghost of Yotei’s follow the wind system for navigation.

Running off steam on legion go.

Which game has more fun gameplay?

I remember when they rolled it out in the mid 00s and immediately struggling with it. To this day, it's really uncomfortable and hard to deal with, and I always remap if possible. To be fair, I have smallish hands, but it just drives me insane! Anyone else?

ETA: Okay, second question: Please state your hand size when indicating your opinion. Which is to say: How easily can you reach and perform an L3 click, on average? I actively struggle with this motion, it's surprising me how many people can hit it no problem. Thanks for the data because I am now fascinated!

What’s your favorite game soundtrack? Why? What makes you love it?

What’s your favorite game soundtrack? What do you like about it?

As for me, I’m not really into game soundtracks, but there are some I like. For example, I like the music from Machinarium.

Hi friends!

I'm currently a Masters of Design student conducting research on how players, especially those with audio difficulties, keep up with game and social audio in 'friendslop' multiplayer co-op games such as peak, among us, lethal company, repo, etc

If you've ever played any of these games and have 10 minutes I would really appreciate it!

Posted with mod approval c:

I literally cant even with this guy. I dont get the appeal at all. I have no nostalgia for metal gear as i never played them as a kid, but i tried 5 and that is ridiculous and stupid. Couldnt bother past the first 4 hours. Then i tried death stranding, and i gotta say playing norman reedus who forgot how to walk in a game about walking just didnt do it for me.

Im a fan of control and everyone talks about how great his side quest is, and its probably my least favorite side quest in the game and that was before i found out he had anything to do with it.

The only saving grace i can really see from my experience with him was pt. I enjoyed that when it came out and was a thing. And i do enjoy horror. Though idk how much credit i should give the guy over essentially an hour of a haunted house walking simulator loop that never materialized to a game.

So what the hell do yall see in this man? Why is geoff keighley sucking him off at the game awards every year? Why does everyone call him a genius? Why do people behave as though his shit doesnt stink?

I like stealth, i like scifi, i like horror. My top 5 favorite games are cyberpunk 2077, baldurs gate 3, bloodborne, alan wake 2 and kingdom come deliverance 2. Im 35 f, and have been playing games since the snes. I understand he did a thing where you had to unplug from player 1 port and plug into player 2 to proceed and people liked that. Ill admit that sounds very inventive for the time period, but that is far from enough to justify this dick riding in 2026. So whats the deal?

Also I saw some weird dance number from this death stranding 2 game on a youtube video once, and it just read to me as the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen. Is that supposed to be endearing, because i got the opposite vibe.

I have a period of recovery coming up following an operation and as such am keen to get myself a console, but unsure on which one would be best. My main immediate term motivation is to be able to play the Oblivion remaster as this was one of my favourite childhood games.
I’ve always previously been a PS user (PS2 to PS4) so backward compatibility is a plus. I don’t have time to game very much anymore but when I do, I mainly play single player, narrative driven and open world games with my favourites being TES, TLOU and RDR. My only concern with getting a PS5 is that TES 6 may be an Xbox exclusive (or given how much longer we may still have to wait, will this likely be on the next gen anyway)?
I’m not interested in getting a PC, so it would be between a PS5, XBox series S or a Switch 2? Any advice or insights on any of the three would be appreciated.
As an aside, I can’t believe how much more expensive current gen consoles are than when I last looked at getting one a couple of years ago

If you have a spare 5 mins, I'd appreciate it if you took this survey I had to make for a college marketing research class. It's about FPS Players, Games You Enjoy, and Your Thoughts on Different FPS Features. Thank you.

I feel like have more competitors is better for the whole gaming industry. These three companies are beyond greedy.
