- Comment on Game Reveals kind of suck now .. 1 week ago:
I think part of the issue is that there are simply so many games competing for attention now. Even good trailers can blend together after a while.
What usually gets me interested isn’t the trailer itself…it’s when I can quickly understand the game’s core idea and what makes it different from everything else being shown.
- Comment on Why Games Now Take 6+ Years To Make 1 week ago:
It feels like expectations keep stacking up. Every new release is expected to be bigger, longer, and packed with more features than the last, which probably makes it harder for teams to stay focused on what made the original idea interesting in the first place.

It’s hard to feel bad for a company worth billions
- Comment on Why Games Now Take 6+ Years To Make 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think graphics are the issue on their own. The problem starts when better graphics become the priority instead of making a better game. Some of the games I remember most weren’t technically impressive, but they had great gameplay, a unique style, and felt like they were made with a clear purpose.
A lot of AAA games seem to keep getting bigger, yet not necessarily more enjoyable. Huge maps, endless side activities, and dozens of hours of content don’t add much if the core experience feels repetitive. I’d happily take a well-crafted 20-hour game over a bloated 100-hour one any day.

Half these “sold out” stories don’t tell you if it was 500 units or 50. Supply was already a mess before the price hike … AI ate the RAM market and now everything downstream pays for it. The device is great, the timing is just bad.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 2 weeks ago:
Honestly? Escape from Tarkov.
I understand what it’s going for on paper. The tension, the risk, the realism. But every time I watch someone play it looks like 45 minutes of cautious walking followed by dying to someone they never saw in a direction they couldn’t predict.
Maybe I’m just not built for it.
- Comment on Any good indie games on steam? Can be any genre. 2 weeks ago:
Dredge if you haven’t touched it yet … fishing but deeply unsettling in the best way. Short, cheap, stays with you.
Tunic if you want something that genuinely respects your intelligence. Feels like Zelda until it doesn’t.
And if you’re okay with losing sleep, Noita. Just go in blind.
- Comment on Warhorse says that the new Middle-earth RPG 'will be a living world' with a 'strong narrative focus' and says new Kingdom Come game could arrive 'next fiscal year' 2 weeks ago:
Warhorse buying and restoring the actual castle from KCD is the most on-brand thing a studio has ever done. That’s a team that genuinely gives a shit about what they’re making. The Middle-earth RPG being described as a “living world” is doing a lot of heavy lifting though … every studio says that. But if anyone can actually deliver it after KCD2, it’s probably them. And yeah, Bethesda announcing Skyrim again in 3, 2, 1…
