Hey a fellow 2042 defender. Def agree with you that it gets too much hate. It def is a lot better now but I didn’t hate it on launch either tbh haha

Picked simply because no souls era from soft games go above 60. I would absolutely take higher but I don’t expect it

Best news Ive seen all week!

Few things I want more than PC bloodborne 😔. I’d settle for PS5 remake / remaster just to get 60fps

Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don’t have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her

- Comment on Playdate is getting a second season of games in 2025 2 weeks ago:
Nice! I havent used lua before but will look at it when my system arrives as I’d rather use that than C haha.
I saw someone started / did a wario ware style game for the playdate but I really want to try my hand at something like that. With the accelerometer, crank, buttons, etc it seems like the perfect device for quick micro games like that!
- Comment on Playdate is getting a second season of games in 2025 3 weeks ago:
I get that. But at the same time I have a bit of an obsession with handheld devices. And there’s enough of a cool indie scene that I think I’d use it quite a bit, and develop for it myself. UFO 50 is my goty and I feel that same sense of discovery and fun I could get out of a device like this

I’ve had issues with image upload as well. There’s a size limit but also an absolute pixel limit as well. So cropping the image may work

That’s true, and fair. I am optimistic though since from what I understand Arkane didn’t want to develop a multiplayer game. Sounds like this has been something remedy wanted to do

- Comment on Analogue’s 4K Nintendo 64 launches next year for $249 5 weeks ago:
That’s super fair and I agree for the most part. Though it’s hard to be super enthusiastic about it when they focus on a plethora of super limited edition color ways for the pocket instead of keeping the base one in stock and completely abandoning DAC support which they promised a while ago (and recently scrubbed all mention of on their site)
- Comment on Analogue’s 4K Nintendo 64 launches next year for $249 5 weeks ago:
I have a love hate with analogue. They undoubtedly make really excellent products, and I absolutely adore my pocket. However they really lean into the fomo of their stuff. They make very little, and you have to be ready to go when they drop more product most of the time. I will say though the price of this is a lot lower than I expected. And while you shouldn’t count on it, every analogue system has gotten some form of ability to play roms from other systems (whether it’s built into the OS (not happening for the 3D) or a “jailbreak” is released by basically an employee of analogue.
Analogue stuff is good if you have cartridges you want to play, but at this point, with the recent release of Taki Udon’s cheap Mister Pi (retroremake.co/pages/store), I think Mister is the way to go. It’s an open source project as opposed to analogue’s implementation. The issue with Mister was you needed a pretty expensive DE10 Nano board to utilize it. Now you can get one of these new boards for only $100 (if you can get your hands on them. Only 2 batches have been sold so far and they sell out quick). Plus Taki is planning on using this new board to make a handheld Mister which I’m super stoked for.

- Comment on Recommend me your favorite linear games! 5 weeks ago:
Earthbound / mother 2 is also 5 stars for me and can definitely be played before hand. There is overlap in the antagonist and references but otherwise mother 3 takes place an incomprehensible amount of time in the future. I didn’t include earthbound since its a tiny bit more backtracky and explory but tbh it’s about as linear as m&l superstar saga so I’d def recommend it if you want to play!
- Comment on Recommend me your favorite linear games! 5 weeks ago:
I suppose I have to ask how linear. Like can it be mostly linear while having the chance to explore off the beaten path very briefly? Or like straight up hallway simulator.
Ive been using a site actually to rate games I’ve played so I’ll start listing some of my 5 and 4.5 star games that I would personally consider linear.
5 star games
- Astrobot
- Silent hill 2 (enhanced edition mod for PC, remake I’m still working through but it’s good)
- Rayman origins
- Mario and Luigi superstar saga (borderline linear)
- Kingdom hearts 2 (you can pick the order of worlds at times and have the option to backtrack but not necessary
- Mother 3
- Re4 (og and remake both 10/10 to me)
4.5 star games
- Chants of sennaar
- Kirby super Star ultra
- Halo 2
- Rayman legends
- WolfenStein the new order
- Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
- Dead Space
- The last of us
- the last of us 2 (has one shortish open area section)
- Alan wake 2 (has some open exploration areas at points)
- Celeste
- The case of the golden idol
I could go on, and some are borderline linear, but these are my faves that mostly involve going from one moment to the next
- Comment on Eurogamer: It's been 12 months since Microsoft purchased Activision Blizzard, so what's changed? 5 weeks ago:
Idk if I’d really consider it an ad for the book tbh. If anything it’s an ad for another Eurogamer article, which is an interview they did with Jason. It’s pretty common for sites like this to link to articles that have similar topics to keep you reading

So many… My backlog is big but I’ve been trying to work my way through it. Currently on my mind though is octopath 2, Grime, Ghost trick, Talos principal, and the trails games
