  And their tools used to assist genocide.

  Have you tried using crystals instead of touch screens? If it was good enough for Kirk it’s good enough for Janeway.

  Breaking the 3D rule you set, there is Super Mariomon. It’s a romhack for Pokemon Emerald that does a complete conversion to into a Mario based monster hunting game. The story, the map, the monsters, all 100% replaced. Because it isn’t Pokemon, the creators took some fun liberties on some of the core concepts of Pokemon like gyms. They also masterfully mined Mario lore to fill out a full dex of 151 critters.

  Obviously I can’t specify on this game, since it isn’t out yet, but there are plenty of cases were games are released very light on content and use season passes as a way to fill it out, as well as attempt to keep the player counts up.

  Personally? I’d rather buy the game and have the whole game.

  What are you talking about, there's a new Elder Scrolls release every year. Skyrim Remastered, Skyrim Deluxe. Skyrim Limited Edition. Skyrim for Switch. Skyrim Premium Deluxe for Switch, the list goes on.

  For games where there is a list of servers, it would be cool to have a central software like gamespy to let players know where the other players are.

  I jumped in and had a look around. I'd recommend making a welcome area around where the new player spawn is. A little lighting and a few signs for the rules would be helpful.

  That bully sure is nice, he did a great job cleaning up my nose bleed from when he punched me in the face!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A neat feature in the new Death Stranding game is a "Pretend I Won" button on the death screen for bosses. It's nice when games recognize that skill checks can be a problem, and what makes some games fun for some users isn't being challenged.

  There are two major advantages to what Nintendo did. The plastic top significantly increases shatter resistance. Look at Jerryrig Everything's review to see, it's almost impossible to break the screen now via blunt force, which is a big problem for people with kids. Surface scratches are far better than a shattered screen.

  The second advantage is that you can put a glass screen protector on it and get the best of both worlds. A replaceable glass surface that is nice and hard. What I think would have made it better is if the console came with a pre-installed glass protector that was replaceable.
