Note that many games with no official lan support can often still be modded into LANplay. I even played thru Escape from Tarkov with my cousin (lan, coop), which is originally multiplayer game

I do not expect to play games for a long time and I’m patient, so when I do want to play some game and it’s still in early access or is in active development (Like STALKER 2), I just put it off for later so that when I do finally play it, it’s a much better game/experience. This reminds me that it’s about time I finally try out cyberpunk (bought on day one, never launched)

I genuinely thought it’s an awful game the first time I tried. Tried it again few months later and fell in love with it.

My only problem with it is how slow everything happens if you play on realism, so I use cheat engine to speed up the game by a factor of 2-10 with hotkeys, otherwhise it sometimes feels like an idle game

I’m trying to come up with an answer any other than “well, yes”, because, well, yes. What I understand by realistic is “non-scripted, simulated”. Bad Company didn’t have that, the destruction there was fully scripted, especially houses falling apart, which were essentially animations, so it became predictable pretty fast.

But destruction IS fun. Especially after the round ends and you see a literal battlefield with half of the trees gone

Is this a bait? Swapping parts once per few years was THE reason to choose something you can’t even likely repair?

This doesn’t sound true. I can no longer name 1 friend who prefers console and PS5 pro launch was pretty terrible. Hell, even I got back into PC gaming thanks to VR
