Yeah I was thinking the same thing actually. These screenshots were from the Chongqing level, which in the game is like a neon city, so in some areas this lighting effect was actually quite good looking.
How would I go about doing that?
I love that website. This one is a personal favourite of mine.
I’m a big fan of both James Bond and Hitman WoA so I was super excited to hear about this. I’m dedicated to being a patient gamer though so I’ll have to wait a while first. I am really excited though.
With the rising cost of storage I wouldn’t be surprised to see a boom in smaller games. Something doesn’t need to be 100GB to be fun. Skyrim was once small enough to fit on a 360 disc and I’ve managed to pour thousands of hours into it.
I’m so jealous you got to experience Portal 2 for the first time recently. That’s an all-time favourite for me.
Playing games as an adult that you couldn’t as a kid/teen is one of the great joys of adulthood.
The 360 feels like the last era of games for fun over games for profit, at least to me. It was also the last console generation where you could just insert a disc and play the game, no downloading required. That’s huge, at least to me. I’m totally fine with the smaller game files, that’s a trade off I’m willing to make for the convenience of plug and play (or insert and play, I guess).
I’ve never seen that cat one before, I like it.
I mean, that’s fair, everyone’s different. But the game turns 15 in November, it’s been re-released so many times that there’s many opportunities to pick it up again, and it’s really easy to start up a new playthrough and get where you want pretty quickly. Most content is available right away if you know what you’re doing.
For me, it’s one of my comfort games. I used to play it so much one time that it sorta snowballed and I played it because I played it a lot. When I didn’t know what to play, it was my default. Elden Ring has since replaced it but I don’t have the time I used to for video games anymore. I think I might have 3 hours gaming in the last 6 months.
Most, probably Skyrim. Across all platforms I’ve only spent around $80, and have around 5,600 hours in, so about 1.4¢ per hour.
Least is far harder. There have been several games I’ve spent $80 on that I played for a bit, didn’t like, and never touched again.
Honorable mentions for most:
Hitman: World of Assassination: 7.3¢/hr
Forza Motorsport 6: 5.2¢/hr
Fallout 4: 3.3¢/hr
Assassins Creed Odyssey: 4.5¢/hr
Oblivion: 10¢/hr
Halo MCC: 7.8¢/hr
Halo Reach: 8.2¢/hr
Rest of the Halo series is probably around 10¢/hr each if I were to guess but I don’t have hours tracked for the rest of them
Minecraft: 5¢/hr at a guess
For cheap games that I got a ton of enjoyment out of but maybe not necessarily a ton of playtime: Gunpoint, The Silent Age, Celeste, Limbo, Inside, Stanley Parable, Monaco (I do actually have a fair amount of time in this one but don’t have hours tracked, maybe 20¢/hr but those hours were thoroughly enjoyed), Little Nightmares. Probably more I’m forgetting at the moment.
My wife still has her 360 too, so we’ve got two at home, just one is put away but I know exactly where it is. Maybe I’ll give it a go one of these days.
I’ll always have a 360 laying around ready to be played, so probably that if I had to choose. Every other console has come and gone, and now I don’t have time for games anymore, though I do have a pc and a ps5 (ps5 is mostly for BD/DVD these days), but I still have my 360 plugged in and off, just needs to be turned on and hdmi connected.
Good to know, I appreciate hearing that. I’ll definitely try that the next time I’m on my computer again.
