- Comment on Fortune's Run development put on hold because the dev is going to prison 5 days ago:
I’ve tried it out. It’s actually a pretty solid early-access game. Excellent atmosphere and setting.
Respect to the dev with being so open with the community.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 6 days ago:
I wouldn’t be so sure that SQ42 will be guaranteed slam dunk as many SC fans seem to be speculating. That’s if it ever released or course.
The gameplay in the recent demo is subpar. FPS combat in particular was trash, far worse than HL1; a game released more than a quarter of a century ago. Turret gunning and the platforming parts looked decent but they are not going to to carry the game. No example of player controlled space flight was shown.
The space battles looked nice in a b-movie kind of way, but I have my doubts how this will translate to fun space flight gameplay.
Regarding the the Hollywood cast, Gary Oldman sounded like he wanted to get his money and get out of there ASAP. Anderson wasn’t better. Writing was some drivel “we must win because we must!” and lots of shouty one liners. There is a very real possibility that the whole thing will be a Wing Commander: The Movie - 30 hours of tedious custscenes.
Looking at the UI/UX of SC, it’s not unreasonable to assume SQ42 will suffer the same sorry fate. Very flashy ironman-style visuals that nigh unusable in a video game.
Let’s see what happens.

This makes me really want to try both HL1 and HL2 in VR. 😜

I am not sure I want to play Ravenholm in VR. 😆
You tried HL1 in VR too?
- Comment on Day 180 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 week ago:
Would love to try both. I wouldn’t even mind Hl1 in VR (HL1 is my favourite in the series, other release are examplry as well).
- Comment on Day 180 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 week ago:
I should honestly try the 3rd one. These days I don’t really play FPSs other than replaying HL1/HL2 (and their expansions) and Max Payne 1/2 usually in back to back sessions.
I would of course play HL3 (still have to play HLA; I don’t have an index).
- Comment on Day 180 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 week ago:
The original was definitely the best (haven’t played Max Payne 3 though), but I thought the sequel was solid enough.
Every 2-3 years I do a replay of both games back to back. It’s almost like a single package for me.

I was hoping for a more simulator/tycoon game. 😀
- Comment on Call of Duty's massive development budgets revealed: $700 million for Black Ops Cold War 1 week ago:
Did that Bible game include gameplay around setting up a “church” that was actually a political donation front to promote political parties that would limit free access to healthcare for the population (under the auspices of lower taxes and “market driven solutions to healthcare”)?
Or was the gameplay lazy and uninspired?
- Comment on Call of Duty's massive development budgets revealed: $700 million for Black Ops Cold War 1 week ago:
Current AAA titles almost certainly have comparable development costs.
If you have 1,000 FTEs with a blended per-FTE annual cost of $100 K (I would argue this could be higher in North America and Western Europe) that works out to $100 M per year of development.

Cheers!

How do the dynamic elements (motorcycle patrols, arrival of reinforcements) work?
I’ve never played a “PvE” boardgame like this.
- Comment on AMD announces FSR, will only be available in RX 9070 Series cards 2 weeks ago:
I find it difficult to believe that FSR 4.0 will be exclusive to the 9,000 series.
This seems to be an early leak without the full context.

Didn’t he get all fucked up and miserable from all that money from the sales to MS?

Really dislike the style and tone of this particular youtuber. A lot of the clips I’ve encountered with make him sound like a shill or someone whose primary audience is children.

I stopped playing consoles after my first Sega Mega Drive (most of the games I like work better on M+KB), but I’ve been meaning to try and play some N64 games in an emulator. And HD texture and quality mods would be a nice addition.

I heard that this one does have pretty dark sleazy motifs.
- Comment on Rule the talking movie industry in tycoon game Hollywood Animal 2 weeks ago:
Tried the demo out, it’s a very stylish game and with it’s own unique take on movie production (somewhat similar to how you develop games in Mad Games Tycoon). Seemed promising, although I do wonder how well the core movie production gameplay works in the mid to late game.

Second screenshot looks really good.
- Comment on Against the Storm looks charming and cosy, but it's actually the best and most fiendish city builder I've played in years 3 weeks ago:
Timberborn is also really good, the water dynamics really makes the game stand out compared to other town/colony builders.
They’ve also added much needed improvements to water dynamics (aqueducts).
- Comment on Day 161 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 weeks ago:
I recently tried playing TF2 after a long break (maybe 5 years) and while there is still decent number of user run servers, it’s not always easy to find a relatively full one for many maps.
- Comment on Against the Storm looks charming and cosy, but it's actually the best and most fiendish city builder I've played in years 3 weeks ago:
It really is special. I initially tried it out because I liked the aesthetic and the map setup/setting; small fantasy colony surrounded by impenetrable forest in a post-apocalyptic world. I was really skeptical about the roguelike x citybuilder hybrid as I like long city-builder sessions with huge maps and elaborate city designs, but they pulled it off perfectly.
I have 100+ hours. I did stop playing after the one of the early access builds made some changes that undermined by core strategy, but that’s a personal thing. Really need to try out the DLC and start from scratch.
- Comment on Against the Storm looks charming and cosy, but it's actually the best and most fiendish city builder I've played in years 3 weeks ago:
This is a great game. They’ve managed to pull off a roguelike citybuilder; a genre combination that one would think would not work. Great visuals and atmosphere too.
