  It's been a full decade since the last main series Puyo Puyo game, and Sega just keeps teasing us with shitty crossovers.

  Yes.

  For the love of god, Montresor!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going in blind on this bad boy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the DS version and found it to be kinda bland and cookie-cutter. Can't even remember anything specific about it honestly, I just remember it being a very forgettable game. Couldn't tell you if the PS1 version was any better, but I doubt it.

  I feel like I've heard this every console generation, that this time will be the end of consoles for real you guys!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in depth dual- and multi-classing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked Etrian Odyssey IV's subclass flexibility so much that I had a hard time going back to Etrian Odyssey Untold without it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My rig still runs all of my favorite 2D indie games, so I'm good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn't call any console I own a disappointment, even the Wii U had several games I loved and put too many hours into. But the system I ended up playing the least was the Steam Deck. It's just too bulky to feel like a proper portable, not nearly as cozy as the Nintendo handhelds I grew up on. I get some use taking it to FGC events as a monitorless setup (and I will be bringing it to Combo Breaker 2026 next week), but that's kinda all I ended up using it for.

  I still don't regret buying it as the most important thing to happen to Linux gaming, but it was a system I bought to have more than to use. I later bought a Miyoo Mini Plus and ended up putting far more hours into that than I ever did the Deck. If anyone ever gets SteamOS running on a device in that size form factor, they'll get my entire bank account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sega has canceled development of its ‘super game’, as it pivots away from live service games | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Add Puyo Puyo to the list of Sega IPs suffering a fate worse than death, they sold the series' soul to keep selling Tetris over and over. We're never getting a main series game ever again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sega has canceled development of its ‘super game’, as it pivots away from live service games | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have heard that every year for the past several years, I'll believe it when I see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2, blaming 'market conditions'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda figured this was gonna happen, glad I got mine at launch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the last physical retail store game purchase you've made?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I order physical copies online often, but can't even remember the last one I bought at a proper brick and mortar retail store. Last year I did buy a copy of Soldam and Super Puyo Puyo Tsu from a vendor at a gaming convention, does that still count as retail?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any actual evidence, or are you just pointing fingers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slay The Spire 2 Getting Review-Bombed Again After Latest Update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  StS1 had unlockable beta art after completing the True Ending. I guarantee this will be back, once True Ending is a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slay The Spire 2 Getting Review-Bombed Again After Latest Update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope you're right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slay The Spire 2 Getting Review-Bombed Again After Latest Update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doormaker is the best thing that happened to Act 3. Right now Act 3 suffers from being too much of a victory lap, there's not much you have to do to prepare for the other bosses. The most fun runs I've had were when I had to scramble through the Act looking for solutions to get ready for Doormaker, picking cards and Ancient boons I rarely took before.

  Unfortunately, we can't have nice things because too many players want a power fantasy rather than a difficult strategy game. I've even heard people whine that A10 is too hard, not that the game as a whole is too hard, but that hard mode specifically is too hard and it would hurt their ego to just play a difficulty they're more comfortable with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Then it sounds like the real issue here isn't that the narrative-driven games you talk about in the OP don't exist at all, but that these games just aren't being laser-targeted at whatever specific and narrow set of tastes you have.

  And honestly, to an extent I do get where this kind of frustration comes from. I've felt like my tastes have narrowed with age too, and I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about certain genres that have completely faded from relevance. But I've had to come to terms with the fact that this isn't an industry problem, it's a me problem. Just because my kind of specific niche favorites don't get catered to doesn't mean that good games don't exist at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My argument is there are fewer and fewer year in and year out.

  When there are far more games being made in the first place, good and bad, I do not think you are correct at all. There are still tons of great games coming out, but you don't seem to want to look for them as you've already shot down previous comments bringing up critically acclaimed modern hits.

  I think nostalgia has you remembering the best games of the past, forgetting about all the slop that used to come out back then too, and losing perspective of the actual time scale in between those hits. If you compare the very best games from a full decade to just the average game that came out last year, that comparison will be very misleading.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If that's enough of a narrative for you, most of the games you're complaining about also have narratives with at least that much depth to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you feel about the narrative and worldbuilding in Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please just stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What a weird thing to be mad about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, and I'd even say that the best FF is the one that SE was too afraid to put the FF name on. I just wish it wasn't relegated to being a lower budget B-list project, imagine if SE put the same kinds of full AAA resources behind this that they put on the FF7 'remake'.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does wishing that Final Fantasy would return to its roots and be a turn-based JRPG again count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i mean⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much every 2D game did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When buying a console, the only question that matters is what games you want to play on it.

  Xbox One X is the last generation model, so it won't run newer Xbox Series exclusives. The line between console generations is quite blurry these days, the Series line has been out for over five years and some games still get cross-generation releases, but even then you should be aware that cross-gen titles may be poorly optimized for older hardware.

  If you're only looking to play games from the Xbox One era (2013-2020), those should all run great on the One X and you can save a lot of money by deliberately staying a generation behind. See !patientgamers

  But if you want to play anything newer, if you want to be future-proof going forward. Series X is the high-end current generation model for current generation games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You're looking for actual Roguelikes then. That's what the genre originally was before it got bastardized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I sincerely wish these kinds of grinding games would keep the good name of Rogue out of their mouths. No, it's not -lite, it's the exact opposite of Rogue!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games that have now or will be turned 40, 30, 20 and 10 years old as of 2026⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming you don't live in Japan, Red/Blue actually is slightly more recent than OP led you to think. JP Red/Green was 1996, but international Red/Blue was 1998. Assuming you don't live in Japan, you get two years of youth back.

  Tetris: The Grand Master is the only good Tetris. Honestly sad that they had a good thing going and TTC decided to throw it out in favor of Guideline.
