Absolutely agree. WhatsApp is the default in my country and all across Europe. For instance, I was on holiday earlier this month and the hotel I was staying in just contacted me through WhatsApp with check-in info. They hadn’t replied to earlier emails but defaulted straight to WhatsApp for communication. It would be a nightmare to move away from it at this point. At least it still doesn’t feel like a Meta app.
I didn’t have any strong feeling about Steam but I do have to say the desktop performance is snappier.
Basil be pretty good
With the caveat that I haven’t seen the trailer yet, I heard this is a first person game and initial feeling was slightly disappointed because I do prefer third person plus I want to see my Avatar dammit. But a chance to play in Pandora? Will definitely keep an eye on it.
Don’t crucify me but I’ve tried HZD and did not like it. I also tried God of War (2018) and I didn’t get very far. Maybe I was not in the right headspace but both of them felt the same to me like a game forcefully trying to make me feel something but I could not connect to either.
KOTOR and KOTOR 2, Mass Effect (Vigil, Leaving Earth, An End Once and For All), Hogwarts Legacy (very reminiscent of the movie scores but its own thing)
I’m hopeful Ninja Theory maintained, if not upped, the quality with Hellblade II. What an incredible experience the first game was. It was so impactful.
I don’t particularly like the game, but the final mission in Mass Effect: Andromeda was wonderful and made me smile. It was gorgeous, great music, and gave me an adrenaline rush.
I don’t think there’s one. Still, I find it a bit funny thinking of myself and my partner sitting next to each other, each on our own gaming PC, once we’re old (or should I say older, yikes the 90s really were almost 30 years ago…)
