Tracking mechanics have even been done before in other games!
- Comment on Marvel’s Wolverine - Extended Gameplay Trailer | PS5 Games 5 hours ago:
Couple of problems:
- No UI, so typically that means, yes, in engine footage, but not real gameplay.
-
Wolverine shouldn’t be jumping around like Spider-Man, his skeleton is metal for gods sake!
-
The green kid, Leech, suppresses mutant powers. The healing factor shouldn’t work around him.
-
Not sure I like how Logan gets bloodied and the blood just… fades off.
+1 for using Marauders as cannon fodder though… They are cybernetically enhanced clones, kill all you want, they’ll make more!
- Comment on When you hear it's the end of Deatiny 2 1 day ago:
Destiny ended when they excised all the story missions and removed 1/2 the content.
This is just putting the lid on the urn.

You sure it was the 360? Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla was on the Xbox One.
- Comment on Fable is delayed to Feb 2027 | via Wario64 4 days ago:
Thing is, you can’t trust what they show. Remember the Halo 2 fiasco.
- Comment on Fable is delayed to Feb 2027 | via Wario64 4 days ago:
I don’t think anyone is truly surprised by this… What’s going to hurt is when it’s inevitably cancelled and the studio is shut down.
- Comment on Mint 6 days ago:
The previous owners of our house planted mint, no matter what we do, we also have mint.
Fresh mint on vanilla ice cream tho…
Now our neighbors also have bamboo… I’m going all in on Crossbow for that!
- Comment on How is it possible that Bungie didn't get in real legal trouble due to all that "vaulting" bullshit during Destiny 2? 1 week ago:
Same, dropped it like it was hot.
I had friends on both PS5 and Xbox too…
- Comment on What's with black superheroes and lightning powers? 2 weeks ago:
Started really with Storm in 1975, although, yeah, her powers are weather control, not specifically lightning, but lightning is definitely her power move.
Before Storm, you had Black Panther, Black Goliath, and Luke Cage, not electrical powers.
But AFTER that…
Black Lightning - 1977
Black Lightning is a great character, but Tony Isabella holds the rights to him so it gets complicated doing stuff with the character.
As a result, you get Black Lightning knock offs that can be used without the rights entanglement.
Black Vulcan - 1977 (Super Friends animation)
Static - 1993 (comics), 2000 (animation).

- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 2 weeks ago:
They were fun, the first time. But how many iterations does someone need of the same game?
People complain about the latest game in a series like Tomb Raider or Assassin’s Creed going “OMG, IT’S JUST THE SAME THING AGAIN!” It’s literally a joke with Madden or Call of Duty, but for some reason Nintendo gets a pass.
It’s cool if you’re a kid and Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda game you ever played… For anyone else? Unless you have on the nostalgia goggles, there are better things out there.
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 2 weeks ago:
Nintendo titles are, essentially, very good introductory video games. If you’ve played, well, pretty much any RPG, there’s no point playing Zelda or Pokemon. Same for fighting games and Smash Brothers or racing games and Mario Kart.
Everyone has to get started gaming somewhere, but beyond nostalgia? The rest of gaming has moved in from Nintendo.
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 2 weeks ago:
Nintendo Switch, I should have known better. Nintendo consoles are great for kids who are new to playing games, not so much for people who have been gaming for generations.
- Comment on Sega has canceled development of its ‘super game’, as it pivots away from live service games | VGC 3 weeks ago:
Finally! Of all the gaming companies, I think Sega is #2 behind EA on properties they own that they are doing fuck all with.
I’d love a current gen Burning Rangers, or Phantasy Star (not online).
- Comment on Let's discuss ideas how Game Pass should be structured and priced 1 month ago:
Personally, I think GamePass is a terrible idea.
The money developers get for GamePass “sales” isn’t enough to keep them in business, look at Tango Gameworks, who did Hi-Fi Rush. Great game, well received, lots of players.
Studio closed 4 months later.
If someone like Tango can’t survive on a game like Hi-Fi Rush, it doesn’t speak well for the business model.
So what you end up with are fewer games and lower quality games, it’s a race to the bottom.
Also, the push to digital only reduces the footprint in stores, so when people go to buy consoles, all they see are a bunch of old games, or (worse) no games at all, as we see in the Xbox section in Target and Walmart recently.
So GamePass encourages fewer games, lower quality games, a reduced footprint at retail, and ultimately, lower sales.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire 1 month ago:
How much was it before it was $29.99 a month? 🤔
Looks like it was $19.99 a month until they raised it to $29.99 6 months ago.
Still an extra $3 a month though!
- Comment on Top-selling video games ever (2025) 1 month ago:
If you’re going to include pack ins like Wii Sports then Windows Solitaire and Minesweeper smoke everything…
- Comment on Amazon started hiding ratings for some products 1 month ago:
For what it’s worth, I’m in the US Amazon app on Android and it states “96 customer reviews”.
Once I unchecked the box requiring verified purchases, it does in fact show 96 reviews.
- Comment on I realized 'Xbox One S' is one of the cheapest 4K player 1 month ago:
#1 reason I skipped that machine and waited for the Xbox One X. LOL.
- Comment on I realized 'Xbox One S' is one of the cheapest 4K player 1 month ago:
PS4Pro is Blu Ray only, the Xbox One S and X are both 4K UHD.
- Comment on I realized 'Xbox One S' is one of the cheapest 4K player 1 month ago:
Yup, but if you like gaming, you get more bang for your buck with the Xbox One X.
Plays Xbox One games with added enhancements that are not possible on EITHER the One S OR the Xbox Series S.

I’ll get my mace.
- Comment on The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there 1 month ago:
Step 1: Re-hinge the fridge doors so they open the other way.
Step 2: Back the fridge into the corner first, then pivot to the right until seated.
You can tell by the cabinetry, they had a fridge in there already, possibly one taller than this.
- Comment on Please just stop 1 month ago:
I was disappointed they didn’t mention Deadpool and Wolverine even once, but checking the date, the article was 2023 and the movie 2024…
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 1 month ago:
Quite a few games as a service games look like they could have been turned into interesting single player story based games if, you know, someone bothered to write a story for it.
Brink for example had fantastic art assets and back story, but no actual story.
- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 1 month ago:
More important is if the game looks and runs well.

See that’s the thing, I’m not generally opposed to NSFW content, just certain categories aren’t my thing.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I remember my first trip to “All” going “Wow, that’s a lot of furry porn, anime porn, and furry anime porn…”
Then, just when I blocked all the requisite communities, someone started setting up dozens of AI porn communities… (sigh)
