FFD: What are you thankful for?

1 min read

thankswhatever

Gosh, it seems like the world of videogames lately is all about whining – and little else. Games are broken, games aren’t as good as expected, games aren’t representative enough, games are two steps away from being porn. Season passes and DLC are ruining everything! It seems there’s nothing but complaints and arguments.

Instead, in the spirit of yesterday’s American Turkeyfest Thanksgiving, why don’t we discuss what we’re thankful for, in the realm of videogames?

Darryn says he’s thankful for wireless controllers, because he either trip himself or get tangled whenever playing games before – so the advent of wireless communication has quite literally saved his life.

Zoe’s thankful for camera controls that aren’t terrible – and I think we really have dual-sticked analogue controllers to thank for that. She also mentioned auto-saves, but we all know that gaming was far better when we had to obsessively hunt for save opportunities.

Gavin, grumpy contrarian that he is, said he’s thankful for “constant never-ending updates,” later changing his mind to say that he’s thankful Psyonix developed Rocket League. Matthew’s away, and frankly, we don’t care what Alessandro’s thankful for seeing as he’s just a child and doesn’t know any better.

Me? I suppose I’m thankful that 30 years later, I’m still playing great games – and really, there are great games. I’ve played some of my favourite games ever this year – with gems like Ori and the Blind Forest, King’s Quest and The Witcher 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider… just a handful of games that are jogging my memory right now.

Tell us! What are you thankful for?

      As a person who is BI-Polar, I kinda slightly feel offended by the last one. I’m sure there was no malicious intent on your part but I am just saying………….Actually, I don’t find it offensive at all. Just trying to make another broader point on being overtly political correct 😉

        True, however the mere fact that we can have this type of conversation, thinking about it, being able to type, and converse, is quite the blessing that our minds are ‘healthy’

            If you want to play some Sims without the grind that (I felt) was part and parcel of the Sims 3, then the Sims 4 is for you.

            Hmmm
            Do they have cars in it? Sims 3 had a cool car following. And about 100 car mods.

            I had to look that up! Cars has never appealed to me. No cars. Sorry. Travel is almost instantaneous. Plus the Open World from the Sims 3 has been replaced with a more hardware resource friendly system where sections you visit are loaded.

            I must be honest. Sims 2 was the better one imo. So the more it’s like that (which it’s sounding to be) the better.

            Yeah, 10 – 15% on Takealot and Raru, but maybe checkers went fullmcintosh and unleashed 80% sales on the dirty peasantry?

            November 27, 2015 at 11:25

            Highest slash is 50% and R800 off.
            Dolce Gusto coffee machine for R800.

            I think there would have been a murder or three, if they had 85% sales at Checkers….

    I am thankful for my own intelligence that has help me buy a PS4 and not an Xbox One;P

    All jokes aside when it comes to gaming I am grateful that we still get to play so many amazing games every year spend hours of my lifetime in another world having fun. Also grateful for the Lagz community and all the guys that I met from it this year as even though they annoy the shit out of me they are all awesome guys!

    and of course Witcher 3!!!
