Yeah the fact that the basic 4x LMB into RMB combo is basically the only combo you can do kinda blows. The abilities do mix it up, but only a little. I hope it gets better since I’m only like 7-8 hours into the game and there’s still new stuff being added to the combat, but it does make a really bad first impression.
I still have a hearty backlog tho and I know Like A Dragon is waiting so the horizon is looking good. And I’m gonna buy Expedition 33 this Christmas sale.

Just bounced off of Elden Ring again. It’s a good game but idk starting a fresh playthrough just feels like a slog. And jumping back into my overheated character feels boring. I should remove it from my “favorite game” section on Steam but idk what should replace it.
Another game I’m way more into than I thought is Final Fantasy XVI. I’m not a huge FF fan and have gotten a lot less interested in turn based combat as I got older, so I really like this direction FF is heading into.
Clive and Sid’s VAs sound like 30 years older than their characters and the amount of cutscenes is quite overwhelming, but I’m invested.
I had it on my wishlist for quite some time and the reason why I finally pulled the trigger was a short 50 sec video of someone annihilating a deer with the power of god.

Note that this is developed by another developer, not Kunos themselves. They’re just using their tech, so this will have basically 0 influence on dev time for evo

I legitimately wonder how many people are going to buy a PS5 just for this game.

Had the same gut reaction but then realized it’s basically only 1 year ahead of schedule. It REALLY doesn’t feel like the PS5 has been out for 5 years now.

If you like this type of game and want more I recommend the YouTube channel Kirk Collects. He covers boomer shooters a lot and this game was also in his latest roundup. youtube.com/@kirkcollects

Me: ok cool I can actually stay under 400€ nvm the fact my backlog bigger than Beverly Hills - Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 3 weeks ago:
Ahh that game is so great but I hate it and can never get far in it. It both scratches a itch that almost no other game can yet is so exhausting to play I can never keep at it for more than a couple hours.

Bro people are already jizzing their pants at the reveal this is set in Japan, you can get way more out of them than $120. Base game won’t be under $70 for sure.
And also like 2 tiers of advanced access (maybe 2 and 5 days). - Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Teaser Trailer | Tokyo Game Show 2025 3 weeks ago:
Prolly gonna happen with advanced access

Please don’t let this be $80, but I’m afraid that this is likely what it’s gonna cost :/
- Comment on Silent Hill f | Review Thread 4 weeks ago:
My fav tidbit about this game is the Wikipedia section “development”. I quote:
Konami felt it had become overly westernized
Bitch you the ones that took the IP away from Team Silent and gave it to western devs who had no clue what to do with it.
Now they smell there’s money to be made and are cashing in.
And they are cashing in hard. I will never buy a $80 game. - Comment on A Hero of Our Time 4 weeks ago:

n=1. Just one. A really good one. Even starts with n funnily enough. I believe by definition it denotes a group of people which reside in the city of Paris but it’s not that city’s demonym.

Same here. Battery is still going strong. Only thing that bothers me is the RAM seems a bit too smol. Open a game and Lemmy says byebye. Not enough of an issue to upgrade to a whole new phone tho.

- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 1 month ago:
I get what you’re trying to say but I’ve definitely experienced performance problems even on lowest settings.
The issue isn’t that everyone tries to run the game maxed out. The issue is that fundamental problems are often left in the games that you can’t just fix by lowering quality settings. - Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 1 month ago:
No. The thing is AAA games are now being released in an unoptimized state way too often. Even if you still get good FPS microstuttering and short lag spikes still occur frequently.
Of course this can make you wonder if this is a you problem and you just got too sensitive.
Nope, this is an industry problem. Why would you optimize a game? No, legitimately asking. It doesn’t affect sales numbers, it often doesn’t significantly tank your steam review score (that most publishers don’t care about), there are practically no downsides to not optimize your game.
But if you do value optimization, it lowers dev velocity, requires more training/awareness for devs and artists, and you won’t be able to ship as fast anymore. And on top of that you get… nothing. A few more sales maybe? - Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 1 month ago:
I had a super underpowered PC I grew up with and it influenced my imagination. For a long time stuff I’d imagine also ran at like 15-20FPS. Really weird effect.
