- Comment on Lastest Riot Vanguard Update Can Brick Your Hardware (If You're a Cheater) 1 week ago:
This was debunked, I think. It apparently doesn’t permanently brick anything, and mainly targets extra hardware bought primarily for cheating.
Fuck Riot though. Glad 2XKO is not doing too hot.

Maaan, easy: soulslike. Combat so slow, they’re the closest real-time combat will get to turn-based. Everything moves at a snail’s pace in most of those games, holy shit.
If I want difficulty, I’ll just play Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden or something, it does not need to be slow and boring AF.

Yeah, but building a dream team is so fun if you’re a fan of the sport. Or if you’re doing a challenge like only U20 players or only African players… etc. This wouldn’t be anywhere as good if everyone was fake.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 week ago:
That’s the appeal of the game.
Except KH2 and 3 have genuinely good action gameplay. Like, so good some people rank it alongside Devil May Cry and shit.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 week ago:
Actually, PES and FIFA used to get really good gameplay updates back in the 2000s. Like, the difference between FIFA 2002 and FIFA 2003 was massive, for example.
Then they realized they’re too big to waste money on actual development and went all in on licenses and marketing. It’s been shit every since.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 week ago:
Football like PES or FIFA? Or Madden?
Because PES was a whole different beast: like, a proper VG with actual meaningful gameplay changes (for the most part) between versions, and FIFA used to be like that in the 2000s.
IDK about Madden though; I only played a couple and they were fine, but I can vouch for their quality or pinpoint when they stopped being fun.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 1 week ago:
Honestly, even with original prices, and even with the rising cost of computers, I don’t see myself investing in anything stationery that isn’t a PC.
I don’t fuck with Nintendo and I don’t see myself buying a Switch any time soon, but this is still 100% more likely to happen than buying a PlayStation.
Another factor: Nintendo actually make games that look like they’re happy being games while most Sony exclusives look like they’d rather be movies and begrudgingly settled for being games. I hate that so much.
Luckily, I don’t have to worry about any of this for now. Steam Deck FTW.
Platinum better find a way to bring Astral Chain to Steam though 😅

I could not care less. They don’t make games for me anyway.

Bloodborne is famously a PS4 exclusive. You would want ShadPS4 for this, not RPCS3.

Ignorant take. Santa Monica just announced a new title, and original GoW trilogy has been stuck on old hardware for more than a decade.
On top of that, many action games are stuck on old hardware (God Hand, Viewtiful Joe, OG Ninja Gaiden… etc.) and a successful re-release of this trilogy could encourage other developers to follow suit.
I wouldn’t comment on shit I have no interest in/don’t know much about if I were you.

This legitimately is one of the reasons I couldn’t vibe with Monster Hunter. Large beast or not, they’re a slave to their nature and did nothing wrong. I can’t enjoy “hunting” and killing them to craft weapons.
I had other issues with the game that stopped me from enjoying it, but this one completely killed any chance of immersion for me.

Furi was such a profound experience for me, changed my outlook on life altogether, and helped me realize how much I enjoy action games, but it’s too limited and I can’t justify revisiting it when there are much more fun action games out there.
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 3 months ago:
I haven’t paid over $20 in 5 years. I honestly can’t justify spending more than that on a video game. I don’t care how good: price will drop eventually, and I will wait.
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 3 months ago:
Unfortunately, some genres struggle going indie because they’re too expensive to develop and aren’t guaranteed to sell well. There is a reason PlatinumGames can’t afford to make Bayonetta if Nintendo doesn’t put up the money, for example, and almost every indie studio that attempts a similar feat has to spend years and years in early access.
The Genokids developer has been working on the game for +5 years and has only 2 chapters to show for it. Mahou Arms released on Steam in April 2020, and is still in early access today.
The world has become too expensive for some things to comfortably exist, or exist at all, unfortunately.
- Comment on God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games 3 months ago:
You could’ve clarify by saying “hack and slash”, which is what the og GOW and DMC are, “action game” is so broad it could even include ff7r, kh, and even battletoad
“Hack and slash” is not the definitive name of the genre. It’s just what you know to call it. There’s no definitive name to that genre, but you wouldn’t know that because, again, for some absurd reason you’re in an online argument over a topic you clearly don’t care about.
Thread is literally over a GoW game. If you couldn’t figure out what kind of action game I’m talking about from the context, that’s on you.
It’s open forum, i can join any conversation i like.
Hey, go for it. It’s your wasted time, not mine.
- Comment on God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games 3 months ago:
I do like Devil May Cry 4 and 5, and God of War 3, but my favorites are The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta, God Hand, and Ninja Gaiden II.
Which GoW is your favorite?
- Comment on God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games 3 months ago:
Yup, love’em. Killer Is Dead is my favorite. What about you?
- Comment on God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games 3 months ago:
I mean, I understand y’all don’t care about the difference between God of War Ragnarok and Devil May Cry because it’s “all action” to you. What I don’t understand is why you randomly decide to jump in online arguments if you clearly don’t care.

IDK if it’s shit, but I tried to get out of my comfort zone, bought the original after it came out on PC, and regretted it.
I’m probably not the person to judge it, but I know for sure it’s not for me.

I’m acting like they haven’t done a proper action game in 16 years, yes.

Yessss, GoW3 is the best western action game to date. No competition.
This better make its way to PC eventually.

They will really do anything but make a proper action game 😂
Kratos rhythm game when?

Not falling for this again. Fool me once, shame on you, full me twice, shame on you, Kojima.
I’m glad it’s successful though. Do your thing, you Japanese weirdo.

So this may end up being shit because of the change in management, but holy shit you can launch and air juggle enemies in a 2026 western video game, I can’t believe my eyes…

Of course, they announce a DMC-like Control sequel and go apeshit right after… I swear this genre is cursed.
