- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 day ago:
The quality of Unreal games is a product of the developer. Plenty of games have been great. Satisfactory and Talos Principle 2, for example.

It was pretty good.

The only GTA game I’ve played was the one on the DS, so 🤷♂️
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 2 days ago:
Usually they do that shortly before announcing their own, like Nintendo with AM2R. Maybe they won’t do it at all.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 2 days ago:
Considering Skyrim and Fallout 4 inherited bugs from Morrowind, I’m sure this has inherited them again. And I’m sure everything feels just as janky.
- Comment on Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it? 2 days ago:
If you invented a new and novel method of painting, like Jackson Pollock’s, you could potentially patent that. Directionally brushing has imperial buttloads of prior literal art.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 3 days ago:
The others are certainly more linear, but you could also do things like the three heart challenge. Or emulate and play a randomized game.
- Comment on American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car' 4 days ago:
Why not just play Wreckfest?
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 4 days ago:
Yeah but just for a rerelease with some new paint?
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 week ago:
Literally just let people host private servers. It worked fine for decades, and still does.
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 1 week ago:
I hope they still have tank controls, and designed the game with those in mind. I’ve been playing the Prime games like that for so long.
Failing that, at least a twin stick control scheme would be nice.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 1 week ago:
No, they’re reporting that Nintendo is saying it, and also reporting that in the past it’s hasn’t been true. Consider it a warning, and to set your expectations if you buy a Switch 2.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 1 week ago:
Make enough of them that scalping isn’t profitable.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 1 week ago:
I don’t need it to play Smash with friends on the couch.
Really I shouldn’t need the subscription for GC ports either. What’s wrong with making them individual purchases like on the 3DS? (Answer: that’s not monthly recurring revenue.)
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 1 week ago:
I am using my Switch just fine without an online subscription. I guess Nintendo thinks I am using it wrong.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 1 week ago:
Like forever, not just because they’re rushing this out the door? There won’t be any Switch 2 carts of cross-gen games?
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 1 week ago:
I need a fucking online subscription to buy a controller???
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
Speedrunning
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 2 weeks ago:
They’ve had dumb vulnerabilities in every single console. Given this one is a refresh, it probably won’t have some huge unpatchable vuln, but there’s always something.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 2 weeks ago:
Almost like they base prices on actual financial accounting and not the feelings of gamers.
Of course any economist will tell you economics is part psychology and sociology because humans aren’t rational actors, but it evens out at these large scales, and they have to start somewhere.
- Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) 2 weeks ago:
You really, really want to play Switch 2 games soon
Or without having to learn to emulate. Or play coop/multiplayer with the joycons.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview 2 weeks ago:
They’ve been doing that for decades now. Lots of PC games had a box and CD, but the only thing on it was a stub installer to run Steam. Or even if it had the full game, you’d have to download a giant day-one patch to fix all the bugs fixed between the image going gold and the actual release day.

Not necessarily.

Pretty sure it was just an excuse for the authors to play Halo, but skimming the study it still looks like valid science.
- Comment on Game Informer Is Back and the Entire Team Has Returned 3 weeks ago:
Most magazines are just ads.
- Comment on Upscaling is actually good (as an option) 3 weeks ago:
If I really need upscaling, I just let my monitor do it with bilinear scaling or whatever. No fancy hardware required.

Is it battletoads?
- Comment on p4re. jp was registered a few hours ago. 2 years ago, p3re. jp was registered. 3 months later Persona 3 Reload was revealed 4 weeks ago:
Why stop there?
- Comment on Japan's prime minister is mad about Assassin's Creed Shadows where players can destroy the contents of religious sites 4 weeks ago:
It looks like “attack and destroy the contents of religious sites such as the Itatehyouzu Shrine” means you can break the clutter scattered around the area, like a pot or a bench. You don’t deface the shrine itself.
- Comment on Amazon accused of using algorithms to push warehouse workers to breaking point 4 weeks ago:
Ok but what do I do when it’s the entire country
