• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I just bad at games???⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no clue what OP is playing on, but I just booted it up on Steam Deck and got to the title menu in 75 seconds, and I shit you not 15 seconds of that was actually downloading an update and I didn’t restart the timer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Machine in the next year if the price is under 1000$ with 2 controllers.

  Zero chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’ve been working on it a long ass time and it’s only now close to ready.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some of Android's Most Interesting Games Aren't on the Play Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I just looked up each of these games… On google play store. They are all on there.

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

  Bioshock Infinite had a wildly good reception. It’s 91% positive on Steam with 47k reviews.

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

  Not saying it didn’t happen. But I have preordered a small handful of games in the past, and never had that be my personal experience. One was even TotK. I feel like that speaks more towards that specific store’s management than it does to anything else, personally.

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

  To be honest, if any game had enough demand to run out of physical stock, it might be GTA6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't believe the lies!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Big yikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Shelter was pretty fun, played it for a few months when it came out. Obviously if you’re not a fan of the genre already it probably doesn’t offer much for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[politics] racist rammers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh, can we not compare first ladies like some kinda pissing contest? It’s weird when they do it and it’s weird when you do it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some of the love for Spore is rose-tinted glasses. It’s ultimately kind of a shallow game. The sim aspects are not very well fleshed out, and 90% of the content of the game is really in the space age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  During that event, Microsoft also revealed a new Hellblade game, Senua, and its future with this change is unclear.

  From the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 696 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re into story-driven RPGs, check out Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Gaming Madness? - Chaos;Head Noah and the game I learned to love and hate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve read 8 of them and it might seem crazy for someone who has read 8 books of a series to tell you not to bother, but uh, don’t bother. There’s better written fantasy out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Gaming Madness? - Chaos;Head Noah and the game I learned to love and hate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a love hate relationship with Witcher 3. Actually, I have a love hate relationship with the Witcher books, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wonky witch fable 1666: Amsterdam is the kind of sexy nonsense I want from Assassin's Creed: Hexe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we just disagree on the premise. Perhaps you’re comparing more gameplay aspects, and I’m reading more into vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wonky witch fable 1666: Amsterdam is the kind of sexy nonsense I want from Assassin's Creed: Hexe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The game is made by the original Assassin’s Creed guy, and the article sets the tone by reminding the reader what the original AC was like—quite a lot different than they are now. I don’t think it’s unnecessary at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wonky witch fable 1666: Amsterdam is the kind of sexy nonsense I want from Assassin's Creed: Hexe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half a Million Nameless Heroes: Gothic 1 Remake Sells 500,000 Copies in First Week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are approximately ten bazillion new games released on Steam every single month. We have never been more spoiled for choice across all genres. Remakes are an absolutely tiny fraction of the games being released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I preferred 3, tbh. With the smallest exception of the glaring dumb plot hole at the end, though they did patch that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you played the Fallout games by the same dev? 3, New Vegas, and 4 play very similarly to Skyrim just in a different genre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom can be really hit or miss for people because of the durability system (I don’t mind it, myself), however their sense of exploration and discovery outshine Skyrim imho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s the crux. The accusation is that Steam has an unwritten policy that applies to non steam key sales, and uses their near monopoly to enforce it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, no, it’s the opposite. The accusation goes that Steam strong-arms people into keeping prices on Steam the lowest (or tied for lowest) available if they’re selling the same game on another storefront. For example, Ubisoft cannot sell a game on their own platform for cheaper than they will also sell it on Steam.

  Again, allegedly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Shuts Down Two Studios in Canada and Serbia, Hundreds of Employees Affected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Obviously, feel bad for the devs and hope they can land on their feet. I also am hoping that Anno can survive these Ubisoft cuts…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With respect, Baldur’s Gate 3 is nothing like what OP is asking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I forgot that AAA slop devs actually made fun games that didn't have money pits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo gets sooo much hate online but I genuinely think they make some of the most solid video games. They innovate, they iterate, they ship rock solid games. Now if only their online wasn’t absolute garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I forgot that AAA slop devs actually made fun games that didn't have money pits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fellow FF7 Remake enjoyer! We seem to be a rare breed online. I’m so goddamn stoked for the last part, and started a replay of Remake to prepare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Hearts IV - Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not Kingdom Hearts 3⅝ Remix Special?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Guess I’m glad I haven’t picked up the base game yet. Put well over 500 hrs into the first game but for some reason I haven’t been able to pull the trigger on the second one yet, though it’s lived on my wish list since launch.

  Different times, budget’s tighter I guess, but hope I can pick this up.
