  Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo. The name is a takeoff on Super Street Fighter II Turbo, but there were no other Puzzle Fighter versions.

  People turn to escapism because they are struggling to make connections in the outside world, not the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Under current technology, that speed is very much impossible. Even if your internet connection was magically instant, there are still more bottlenecks in the way.

  A high end NVMe SSD can write up to 12 GB/s. So even if we cheat and say the download is a highly compressible zip bomb that downloads instantly, it's going to take about 42 seconds just to decompress and write it to the drive.

  The industry doesn't care about preservation because they see it as competition. If I download some abandonware arcade game from a publisher that went out of business decades ago and no surviving cabinets even exist anymore, that just means I didn't spend $80 on a new AAA game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Single player games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  like how multiplayer games require multiple hour long sit downs.

  There's no shortage of multiplayer games with short match lengths. Fighting games are like ~3 minutes on average, and you can just stop clicking rematch when you want to take a break.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RPGs focused on crafting items/equipment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe Rune Factory? The later games let you min/max your equipment by adding nearly any item to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are AAA games a rip off in US, UK & EU?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exchange rates aren't a complete picture of global economies, you really have to look at the average wages for people living there. If the average person in these countries is making substantially less than the average US/UK/EU consumer, just setting prices based on the exchange rate may result in games being unaffordable. So it makes more sense to price in those regions based on purchasing power, even if they're making less money per copy sold that's better than making no money by selling no copies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Switch 2 a waste of money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don't own a Switch at all, then I'd say definitely grab one, you'll have a pretty big back catalog of S1 titles to catch up on. Even for legacy content, performance will be better on S2, and you'll be future proof for future games, so I would advise getting S2 over S1.

  If you already own a S1, upgrading really depends on how much you want new first party games. I bought it for Kirby Air Riders and that alone was well worth the price for me after waiting 22 years for that sequel.

  Ordinarily I'd say if you're not that interested in the current lineup you can always wait until games you really want come out, but with the economy being fucked it's possible there may be additional price increases in the future. So if you're at all considering it, I think it's best to grab one sooner rather than later. I'm half joking when I say I bought mine for Kirby Air Riders, I was also just nervous about tariffs, and I made the right call locking my purchase in at the launch price.

  It looks like this list is manually curated, so there's probably more that just aren't documented as such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember when XB1 was going to be digital-only and Sony roasted it so badly Microsoft had to walk it back?

  Sad thing is, I always figured this was going to be inevitable. I just didn't think it would happen this soon.

  I have some questions for whoever's claiming that.

  The first party games are fantastic, portability is useful, and it's affordable compared to everything else. But I think anyone expecting power is setting themselves up for disappointment. Buy it if you wanna play first party games and low-spec indies, but be careful with ports. I always have to research ports I'm interested in to double check if they're okay.

  Kirby Air Riders was worth every penny, I've waited 22 years for that sequel.

  Mega Knockdown a turn-based fighting game that successfully adapts the best part of fighting games: throwing rock four times in a row because you've gotten in their head well enough to know they're gonna throw scissors four times in a row.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If he's fully aware that consumers don't want it, maybe he should listen to them instead of whining that he's not allowed to lie. Because that's what he wants, he wants to just lie by not disclosing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you truly think AI is so great, why don't you want to disclose it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favourite gaming console you have played?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to give it to the Nintendo DS. Absolutely incredible library, much of it too unique to play anywhere else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a new retro Final Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can also recommend Ara Fell and Rise of the Third Power for a retro jrpg itch.

  Seconding these, both excellent. For another indie FF-like I'll add Crystal Project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a new retro Final Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bravely Default is an incredible successor to FF5. I like to joke that someone at Square realized during development that this game is actually good and thus they couldn't put the FF name on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno if I'd still enjoy it if I went back to replay it today, but I have a childhood soft spot for Final Fantasy II. I loved the absurdity of being able to dual-wield shields and attack myself to level evasion, what a beautifully stupid game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I presume they're also printing physical copies, in which case preorders are still useful to secure a copy day 1. Especially if you're getting it shipped, because if you wait until day 1 to buy it then you're actually waiting a few more days for shipping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe the Minecraft Hunger Games mod was where it all started.

  Well that doesn't sound optimized at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Touhou Koumakyou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" Remake for PC, Switch (2), PS5⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was in the JP Nintendo Direct but not the English one, so for a minute I was wondering if this might not be getting localized. Why'd they leave it out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I forgot that AAA slop devs actually made fun games that didn't have money pits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know the hivemind around here has some pretty strong opinions about Nintendo, but I do appreciate that their games still feel normal when nearly every other AAA has pretty thoroughly enshittified.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I forgot that AAA slop devs actually made fun games that didn't have money pits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Arcades have always been about providing experiences you can't get at home, but they've had to repeatedly pivot what those experiences are. First that meant playing games at all, before home consoles existed. When home consoles became a thing, arcades still had cutting-edge hardware better than what you could get at home. During the Street Fighter boom, arcades were a social hangout to play multiplayer. But now we have much better home consumer hardware, and we have the internet for multiplayer, so every game that can be played at home has no real need for an arcade.

  There are still four things left you can find in arcades but not (common) consumer hardware. Gambling for kids, racing games with an immersive setup, rhythm games with increasingly wacky control schemes, and pinball. Modern arcade rhythm games are actually going through a bit of a renaissance right now and I'm here for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people don't compliment other people on great word usage? If someone use the word lets say ecclesiastical or something like that they do not get complimented it shows they respect English.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say truly good word usage should go unnoticed. If the fact that you're using a lot of big words sticks out, that means you're using too many.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It has now been a quarter century since Penny Arcade proclaimed that "videogames suck now".⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit, forgot all about that one but just hearing the title took me way back. What a time capsule to look back on.

  Maybe some of those accents haven't aged so well though...

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Games Now Take 6+ Years To Make⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding.
