I never got to play the original, but I remember it had more character in its trailers.

Roblox is kind of yucky to begin with. Don’t they use kids to make content and then give them an awful portion of proceeds?
- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Coming To Consoles With Major Updates 2 weeks ago:
I’ve only tried Dark Souls once and my game kept reloading itself right before my death. Haha. I do plan to give Elden Ring a go though and would love to try Bloodborn if it ever came to PC.
If it helps, I think your in the majority. I have a feeling it’s one I will drop after level cap. You never know though. I was one of ten people who played Warhammer Online until the doors closed.
- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Coming To Consoles With Major Updates 2 weeks ago:
I’ll have a reason to try it out. As an outsider, it looks like the game is a testing spot for their next MMO but The Elder Scrolls Online has excellent controller support and I would love to see more. I had hoped it would be Guild Wars 2, but at least this gives me confidence the LotR MMO will have controller support.
I just hope they leave the current LotR MMO alone. It’s not my game but those people are so so very nice each time I try it.

Do you know if they do an intermission? I’ve never gone to a screening for the whole thing.
- Comment on No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve 4 weeks ago:
I’m not saying this is a good thing, I’m just saying I thought everyone already knew this with Steam.

Did you ever play the first Divinity?
- Comment on MultiVersus Launch Trailer Reveals Jason Voorhees And The Matrix's Agent Smith 5 weeks ago:
I’m surprised to see Jason. The Dead By Daylight guys said they wouldn’t touch him because the legal spaghetti it is. Apparently different people own different versions of him and each can only acknowledge some story elements.
- Comment on I'm so annoyed that they're calling the new hobbit game 'A The Lord of the Rings Game' 1 month ago:
That seems weirder to me to be honest. Like the recent The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. Just call if Return to Moria and make a LotR badge for marketings sake. Same here.
I’ll accept Middle-Earth though.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 community manager says internal discussions are ongoing regarding mandatory PSN account link 1 month ago:
I know little about it. What makes this stand out? I am guessing kernal level, but is there anything else to it?
- Comment on I just learned an interesting piece of gaming history that most people might not know about 1 month ago:
This is neat. I would have loved to have played some of these alongside what I did on the 360. Feels similar. Marble Blast Ultra, Geometry Wars, etc. I had no idea either.

This looks fun. Thanks for the share.
- Comment on Which game series had the worst anniversary celebration? 1 month ago:
You can grind for great rewards but they also are encouraging easy endeavors for a lot of points and any content is giving the 100% XP bonus which makes even questing feel nicer. There is a grind if you want true flame or one of the other 4 this-time-only items but that’s some people’s enjoyment.
The only ball dropping imo is the PTS debacle but they are giving the affected all the items, like a years endeavors, and a ton of other stuff that seems fair to me.
I think it can be hard for someone if they always feel the need to maximize anything they do, they probably just grind the whole time to earn millions of gold. I did a few grinds to get the loot high but doing dailies I had not tried yet has been fun since I get the 100%xp and an extra loot box for each.
Obviously just my experience though.
- Comment on Tales of the Shire - Official Announcement Trailer - PEGI 1 month ago:
I like the idea, but the execution looks cheap. I’m more open to middle earth games without fighting than with. It often feels hamfisted to force it into the slashy-casty box.

ESO Financials were part of the Microsoft leak. They do pretty dang well. Downward trend but what ten year old game constantly only sees number go up.
- Comment on This Spyro the Dragon tweet has fans thinking a new instalment is coming 5 months ago:
Being 6, I would just go with the game system they like. You and I know PC/SteamDeck are killer but youngins always fixate on what they like. Besides, I have a feeling a switch would be cheaper. Not so sure about a switch 2 being cheaper though.
Your kids lucky your thinking it out. 😎👍
- Comment on This Spyro the Dragon tweet has fans thinking a new instalment is coming 5 months ago:
Sadly I haven’t! I have a Vive but it isn’t on there. You got me watching a video and it looks like a lot of fun to!
Except for the Switch, I haven’t owned a console since the 360. I kind of went hard into PC by accident.
- Comment on This Spyro the Dragon tweet has fans thinking a new instalment is coming 5 months ago:
I wonder what they could do to breath new fire into it (har). It is a fun trilogy to play, for sure, but it also feels like playing a game of its time.
I really miss games like this though. The last time I felt the bridge between games like Spyro and “modern” times (I’m old) was Kameo. Kameo was such a gem and felt like I was playing a newer Spyro, Medievil, or Banjo game.
While we’re on the subject, where the heck is Conker?
- Comment on Project Gorgon’s Sandra Powers on the MMORPG’s features, its fiscal future, and the broader genre 5 months ago:
It is wild to me that the money that went for donations after people learned about its struggles is going back into the game. The game has a lot to offer, any game where you can insult someone’s birth to do psychic damage does, but I would not have faulted them if all the funds had gone to medical bills.
- Comment on TrekMovie.com: Patrick Stewart Reveals New Star Trek Movie Script Featuring Jean-Luc Picard Is In The Works 5 months ago:
I watched the first season and liked it. The fan service didn’t feel so bad. Season twos portrayal by half way through of an old enemy felt too casual to me and I tapped out. Is season 3 worth a whirl of two stopped me?
- Comment on Daggerfall Unity 1.0.0 Released 5 months ago:
I think they rebuilt the game in Unity. I do know they say to not go with the one on GoG as it is outdated. I only learned about the whole thing yesterday.
- Comment on Making a game about monsters 5 months ago:
Looks fun. If I can give any advice, I would avoid comparisons to other games as that also invites unnecessary criticism.
Also less metal and drums, and more sound effects (like with the kick at the end).
Fleshed out, I would give it a go. There are some public domain creatures you could absorb, like anything Lovecraft.
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale is coming(Today), along with voting in the Steam Awards 5 months ago:
I have found that some games like this, sometimes I do really well if only because there is such an established way to do things well that my flailing about catches people off guard. Sometimes not following meta is a shock to expectations. I’ll win by sheer incompetence.
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale is coming(Today), along with voting in the Steam Awards 5 months ago:
Do you know if the DLC is needed to find matches? Do people even use them? Or is it all cosmetic? I too am thinking to come aboard.

This was the one I was looking for. I believe there is an updated version of crusader as well.
Nothing is more satisfying than seeing your friends carefully crafted keep scaled suddenly by an army of ninjas.

Being compared to American Cheese is the worst insult I’ve ever endured.
- Comment on The best MMOs in 2023 - PCGamer 7 months ago:
Does it take a lot of time to experience the story in a satisfying way? I only played a little of the intro years ago and recall like the game but not the combat. I’m really tempted to revisit for its setting though just to go through it, but not if it moves at a crawl.
