That is the best part and honest one of the best parts of gaming in general.

Kinda reminds me of burning the weed fields in Far Cry 3.

That’s the part that keeps me from doing it. While portability is nice, I have a really great desktop with an ultra wide. That ultra wide in particular is what makes PC gaming really great for me. I think I’d only use it on longer trips, which isn’t that often.

No, Who’s on first.

I currently have a 7T. It’s not bad. Felt pretty impressive at the time that I got it. These days I feel like the camera is a bit lacklustre and every now and then something freezes. I’m gonna upgrade to something else soon. Probably something much higher end as I’m more comfortable spending money on a high end phone these days. But it’s been a pretty solid phone, especially for its price and age.

I’m with you on the tablet thing. I even did buy a tablet many years ago, but barely used it. I think mostly because I didn’t want to deal with carrying around another device.

Same. I make good money and can easily enough deal with the expense. But the durability is something they need to improve to get me on board.

I think it’d be pretty neat for the extra screen real estate, improve “front facing” camera, and for watching videos. It’s mostly small things, but they are cool!

I know some phones had already did this, but I always liked the idea of support for using your phone as a TV remote. The phone has replaced so many pieces of hardware that it feels silly that TV remotes haven’t been replaced yet.

I also specifically wish Chrome supported extensions on mobile. Firefox does it. Why can’t the biggest browser do it?

I’m assuming you’re looking for emphasis on shooters, so I’m excluding games like Fallout, which are heavily RPG.

All the Metro games are fantastic. Not too long, interesting setting, and fun gameplay.

Far Cry is probably my favourite, specifically Far Cry 5 but really all except the first one (New Dawn is super RPGy and 6 is a fair bit, too). Some of its games get a bit more RPG heavy, but 5 and earlier are more heavily shooters in open world sandboxes. Despite that, some of them have really great character driven stories. The villains are always the highlight in this series.

Personally, I adored the gameplay. I put maybe 60 hours in and still had the energy to start a second playthrough (though never got far in it). That’s rare for me with such long games. Usually by the time I finish the game, I’m like “yup, I’ve had enough”. The story is fantastic and the gameplay is super open. Can go in guns a blazing (with all sorts of weapons, including “smart guns” with target seeking bullets), be stealthy, slow time and get up close and personal, keep your distance and use hacks that can even spread from enemy to enemy, and more. The romantic interests are great and also feel realistic. The plot is dark and doesn’t shy away from what I envision a dystopian sci-fi reality being like.

And yeah, it is a beautiful world, too. I found it highly immersive because of that.

It’s not perfect. Civilian, police, and driving AI is by far its weakest point. The world feels vibrant and interesting, but don’t expect much from civilian interactions, drivers are basically on rails, and police teleport to you. But those issues were fairly minor to me. I’d give it a 9/10. Obligatory mention that I played on PC. I’ve heard older consoles were buggy, but I didn’t see much for bugs on PC.

(Typing this up made me wanna play it again, but I gotta wait for the DLC.)

Strongly agreed. The setting is very neat, too. The whole idea is 60s style pop sci fi… Except the villains are in charge.

Personally I’d suggest avoiding Old Blood. It’s inferior in basically every way (story, setting, gameplay). Feels nothing like the two you mentioned.
