The art is gorgeous in this game.
Love the 2.5D isometric view as well.
Might have to check this out when it gets released.

I do like the innovation attempted here
How is this innovation, though?
It’s a specific type of DRM/sharing scheme, but it’s not really innovative.

It’s turn into a surprise hentai game in the later levels 🤣

I don’t think it store location are paid.
I would guess they are algorithmic and something about the game purchase dynamics resulted in a positive feedback loop.

This applies to the two streamers mentioned as well.
They are both grifters and scoundrels. Elmo is much worse of course, but it’s not exactly much of an achievement is one is better than the most corrupt and degenerate American oligarch.

This article/situation reeks of the damp, hot, pungent smell of degeneracy.

E.h. Snoop Dog the game would be shilling yourself out in every manner imaginable.

Yeah, it seems to be an indie hit.
- Comment on Best game ever? 3 days ago:
I see. I still think claiming that Mario 64 and Zelda 98 are the foundation for most 3D action and adventure games doesn’t really align with reality.
Especially the piece about Mario 64 being the first 3D game were movement was fun. I understand that the definition of fun is subjective, but this is basically false.
Beyond Quake, in Frontier: First Encounters you could literally fly between solar bodies, do planetry landings, fly between cities. This is far more difficult to pull off well than the relatively primitive movement in Mario 64.
Same with setting the standard for player hubs. I haven’t played Mario 64, but I have seen friends play Mario Galaxy and the hub area in Galaxy well designed, but simplistic and with no dynamism related to gameplay.
Not sure about how exactly target lock-on functions in Zelda 98, but target lock-on definitely existing long, long before Zelda and in more complex, dynamic environments.
Don’t get me wrong, you like what you like and clearly Mario 64 and Zelda 98 are good games, but it is strange to put them on the pedestal in this manner. Especially when many of your statements almost approach a PR level of what I assume is hyperbole (e.g. “first 3D game with fun movement” - this is clearly false).
- Comment on Best game ever? 3 days ago:
The last console I had was the Sega Mega Drive, so I don’t have much knowledge of console games, but are you sure Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time “essentially set the foundations of 3D gaming that are still used today?”.
Quake 1, was released on June 1996. Quake II was released on December 1997.
Ocarina of Time was released on November 1998, the same time as Half-Life.
Sure Mario 64 was released in June 1996, same time as Quake 1, but Quake 1 also had multiplayer - a key milestone for 3D gaming.

Bad Rats.
On a more serious note, my personal best of all time would be SimCity 3000.
Soma, TF2, Fallout 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, StarCraft: Brood War, Civ 5 would all be in the top 10 (in no particular order).

- Comment on Katamari creator says he left Bandai Namco to develop games with people from other countries 5 days ago:
I’ve never heard of the game designer mentioned in the article or of Katamari, just wanted to mention that it must be nice having that kind of creative freedom.
His latest game doesn’t look like it’s for me, but the concept sounds original.
- Comment on Virtual History Ancient Egypt, anyone have a way to play it? 6 days ago:
Pharaoh/Cleopatra includes somewhat detailed descriptions of life in ancient Egypt in context of the gameplay. You have a beer production chain; the game has a short outline of beer in ancient Egypt.
It has great gameplay too that stands the test of time.
- Comment on The System Shock 2 remaster comes out June 26th 1 week ago:
Any recommendation for modding guide. I played it back in the day, but to be honest I stopped in one of the earlier levels because it got a bit unnerving.
Mostly looking for HD support, better textures/assets (but ones that jive with the vibe) and balance changes to make it a bit easier.

- Comment on "There comes a time when we all declare the war is over": Former PlayStation Studios boss Shawn Layden on the future of video game consoles 1 week ago:
That’s definitely true. But I would argue every additional “unit” of graphical improvement is becoming more and more expensive to the point where the relative benefits associated with a single unified platform are not as impactful as they once were.
- Comment on "There comes a time when we all declare the war is over": Former PlayStation Studios boss Shawn Layden on the future of video game consoles 1 week ago:
Growing costs of hardware components and relatively mild gen-on-gen improvements in visual quality are making the classical console business model (subsidized hardware used to drive game sales via exclusiveles) obsolete.

Can’t speak for the quality of Stadia and I am not the target audience, but I thought it was crazy that people were willing to trust Google that they wouldn’t shut down servide if on Day 2 they didn’t 10 quadrillion subscribers.

I might be mistaken, but doesn’t HL2 RTX require a high end 5000 series GPU? I guess I should just try it out on my 3080 (with a 1440 screen) and see how it goes.

- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
Can you provide one real world example? An older Windows game that works better on Mac than on Windows?
I will also add that 2015 is a random number. Win10 easily handles anything after 2005 or so. It’s the pre 2005 games that often require some deal of research.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
The piece about Mac makes no sense. That’s purely a result of Apple’s decision to drop support. In general, if you are interested in older games, MacOS is not a viable platform.
