If you could offer one tip to someone new to gaming, what would it be?

Can be a general hint or something that has to do with software, hardware, or a particular genre. Always look behind a waterfall is what I would say.

Have patience. The majority of pricey, modern games are released with significant flaws. You don’t have to buy the newest game to start enjoying this pastime. Do you want to play a strategic game? Starcraft 2 is compatible with almost anything released in the past ten years. In other words, you don’t have to buy whatever is popular right now since you can find a game that interests you that is either free or nearly free and works on any device. I can assure you, though, that the game will probably be replaced within a month.

@Mariana, Honestly, this is the finest advice available. Have fun with it. Drop it if it is not enjoyable. Playing video games should be an escape, not a second job. :100:

Invest in a quality pair of over-the-ear headphones with noise-canceling features for an incredible immersive experience. I personally love the Bose Quiet Comfort series, My QC25s have been reliable for years.

Purchase those, then spend a night alone playing Alien or Hellblade in the dark. :rofl:

I play Resident Evil that way. Hellblade was almost immediately abandoned by me. The portrayal of madness was far too accurate. :joy: :eyes:
