If Walmart hates you and won’t let you sell with them, then you had might as well sell at a local shop anyway to get some return on investment, yeah?

They should’ve sold the game on JAST or DLSite. They find sexual content to be perfectly satisfactory.

Are you one of those people who first played GTA5 many years after it came out?
- Comment on Fired Rockstar devs don’t want you to boycott GTA 6 but ask for support - Dexerto 1 day ago:
I haven’t even played GTA 5. It felt like a downgrade compared to 4.
- Comment on What are some cool/decent PC games that are not on Steam? 4 days ago:
Japanese visual novels that never get translated are a big one. A huge chunk of them live on novelgame, DLSite, and DMM. In fact, there are some full fledged Japanese games that are DLSite exclusive. I’ve tried a few, and some can be quite good.
The Star Trek games on GOG (like Elite Force I and II, and Armada) are worth your attention.
Full Metal Daemon Muramasa is also typically bought on JAST.
There are also a bunch of gacha games that never released on Steam, though the bigger ones are working to change that.

Well, maybe not now, considering how corporate it’s become. But in the period of 2010 and 2015, you could make a decent sequel. The 23rd century era of Fallout is pretty much creatively bankrupt, but Fallout in the 25th century is workable. What Fallout is missing is the rebuilding of society. The NCR side of things in NV comes close, but it’s clear they still have a ways to go to achieve pre-War levels of society. Where’s the NCR variant of Nuka Cola, for instance? Or industry for making all those bullets the NCR uses (Pitt doesn’t count)? Or the logistics for large scale transport, like trains?

Command and Conquer 4. The game that killed the franchise.
Picture things after C&C3. Two factions, GDI (America, basically) and Nod (evil religious dudes) were busy fighting a bunch. The Scrin (aliens) show up and start blowing things up. It is discovered that the aliens are making special structures of unknown purpose. GDI gets to work with blowing them up, but Nod helps the aliens save one of the structures. It is rendered impervious to harm when the game ends.
Then, there’s the C&C3 expansion. The fancy alien device under GDI’s control is stolen back by Nod, on the orders of their leader, Kane.
Quite a setup for C&C4, right? There was a first person shooter sequel (called Tiberium) on the pipeline, but it was cancelled. Wait some more time, and C&C4 is announced and released.
What did we get?
- The base building system used for every installment is abandoned in favor of a mobile base system. You can zoom around in your mobile base and make units from that. Static structures are gone. Awful.
- The story is incredibly short. Only a few hours.
- One character (James) is a huge pile of shit, and fucks shit up at the end regardless of whether you side with GDI or Nod.
- Nothing on the alien plotline.
- The video at the end looks like it was shot with an extra just outside EA’s offices.
Ridiculous. I’m still upset about it to this day.

I can see value in a Fallout 4 set a couple hundred years after Fallout 3. Fallout 4’s civilization is still too broken. Add a few hundred years, and you could get an established civilization out of it, like the NCR of NV.
- Comment on Games with singleplayer campaigns that let me fight/kill nazis? 1 week ago:
Collected my two permabans for that exact reason.
- Comment on Games with singleplayer campaigns that let me fight/kill nazis? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I have some Nazi-killing games for you.
- Hearts of Iron 4. RTS set during WW2, covering the whole planet.
- Dies Irae - Visual novel where magical Nazis from the past show up to ruin things in 2008 Japan.
As for games that are close to shooting Nazis:
- Does the Sunrider series count? You fight the Space Soviet Union in that one, so I don’t know.
- Possibly Starcom: Nexus. There are some human supremacist bad guys who show up that want to kill everyone that isn’t human.
- Scarlet Nexus has two factions of fascist bad guys who want to kill each other. You get to fight both.
- Reverse Collapse Code Name Bakery has you mainly fight fascists led by a crazy man.

Without more content, the franchise will die.

I’m curious about how much a 10 pull will be.
- Comment on Fun Minecraft-esque chemistry game 2 weeks ago:
My definition has some intrigue, which the official one lacks. You understand my meaning, yes?
- Comment on Fun Minecraft-esque chemistry game 2 weeks ago:
Not O~2~. I consider that a compound, regardless of what the actual definition is.

Pokemon Uranium. Poke-Chernobyl went boom and now there’s a new pokemon type called nuclear. Nuclear variants of regular pokemon tend to go berserk and attack everything in sight, though the pokemon native to nuclear can be controlled.
Five Nights at Raiden’s. Genshin Impact fangame where I guess Hoyo made a kids place for Genshin animatronics. But then the animatronics got corrupted somehow and now want you to die a violent death. It covers Genshin versions of FNAF 1-3.
Black Mesa because obviously.
The Jedi Masters mod for KOTOR 2. It’s an alternate continuity that considers SWTOR to be non-canon. While too fangamey to be a true KOTOR 3, it puts the remaining plot threads from KOTOR 2 to rest.
I didn’t get very far in it, but JPDE is an alternate continuity of RWBY, with the point of divergence being somewhere near the end of Season 1. The main character choosing to use a whip for combat is dumb as hell though.
SourceWorld. It’s procedurally generated Half Life 2. Fun.
Escape: Yavin 4. It continues off from the Dark Side ending of Jedi Academy. The fun thing about this one is all the different kinds of lightsabers, and you can pick them off dead people to use them yourself! My favorite is the circle one that has blades coming out through the rim.
The Dark Alliance for Jedi Outcast and Academy. It’s a three parter (The Mainframe, The Dark Alliance, The Dark Alliance II: Vengeance). The point of divergence seems to be between Outcast and Academy. Vader is back in action which kinda shocks the cast.
Galactic Legacy for Jedi Academy. In Fate of the Republic, if you play as Windu, he has better situational awareness than the movies this time. There are a few other interesting alternate timelines packed in it as well depending on who wins certain critical fights in the prequels.
- Comment on PlayStation To Require Age Verification For Certain Online Features 3 months ago:
If Steam becomes nonviable, then I will:
- Download my backlog and look into cracking their reliance on Steam, if any.
- Buy stuff on JAST, GOG, itch io, DLSite. Maybe DMM, Patreon, and Epic Games Store if I’m desperate.
- Otherwise, well, you know how I’ll get those games.

A shame. You could’ve seen the people who yell I’M FRIENDLY I’M FRIENDLY before shooting you in the head.

- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 4 months ago:
Dreamfall Chapters feels like it should be a crossover between Mass Effect and Dragon Age. But it actually plays like a Telltale game.
Mary Skelter should’ve had gameplay like Dragon Age, except you play as the support guy while your party members do most of the fighting, with you calling in when teammates should use their skills. Teammates in Mary Skelter have a habit of going insane, and the only way to calm them down is to have your support guy fix em.
Girls Frontline should’ve been an offline turn based strategy game. The gacha gatekeeps it from too many people.
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 4 months ago:
The AEGIS system in the original really sucked though. It’s the one thing Legends improved.
- Comment on Google removed Doki-Doki Literature Club from the Play Store for depicting sensitive themes that violate their terms of service. 4 months ago:
DDLC is pretty tame when compared to the various visuals novels out there. If Google hates DDLC, then I’m pretty sure they would go crazy over any Russian VNs that made it onto the Play Store. Those have a bunch of sensitive material.
- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 4 months ago:
I have a grudge against Phyre Engine and Artemis Engine. So not those. I have no issues with other engines.

I enjoy watching oboeshoes play it. He gives Starfield playthroughs some flavor.
- Comment on How long until the rise of games with mods turns into user created games. 4 months ago:
Some have already tried that. There are some games where there’s basically zero base game and the devs want the players to fill in the content. Since such games start out with nothing, no one makes mods for them, and so the games die in obscurity. Ever hear of S&box?
That said, the people behind RPGMaker have a lot of this covered. They provide a good stock of assets to let people build stuff out of the box. This lets people create content quick, which eventually brings in the people that know what they’re doing, which results in good stuff.

- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 4 months ago:
Men in Black (1997). I played this as a kid. Think of this like playing Call of Duty with RE1’s camera and tank controls.
Goblet of Fire. Complete trash compared to what came before.
Speaking of which, Deathly Hallows Part 1. Everything about it was awful. Part 2 at least has a decent action shooter combat system, but it didn’t feel Harry Potter at all.

Guarantee they still have a chip on their shoulder about their art teacher telling them to stop using stick figures back in the day.
