- Comment on What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games) 11 months ago:
Anaconda in TimeSplitters 2, mostly for the incredibly catchy music.
- Comment on New guide on Ico dropped on Gamefaqs 11 months ago:
Wait until you realize PS3 is older than what SNES was when PS3 was released.
- Comment on Why were online subscriptions once rare, but now they are everywhere? 11 months ago:
No one uses Gimp for professional use. Gimp is not a full replacement of what Photoshop does.
- Comment on Why were online subscriptions once rare, but now they are everywhere? 11 months ago:
Apparently it’s worth $20/month.
- Comment on Why were online subscriptions once rare, but now they are everywhere? 11 months ago:
Adobe did it because everybody and their grandmother just pirated Photoshop instead of paying that huge one time fee (licenses costed around $900 not counting inflation). It wasn’t until they went with the subscription model when people actually started to pay for Photoshop.
- Comment on Employees Say ‘Sizable Portion’ Of Gearbox-Owned Studio Has Been Laid Off 11 months ago:
I will never forgive them for closing down free radical. It’s the closest we’ve been to a new Timesplitters game in a long time.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date May Have Just Accidentally Been Revealed by...Gameshark 11 months ago:
That the Game Genie IP now belongs to EA?
- Comment on What are some 3D platformer/3rd person shooter hybrids aside from the Ratchet and Jak series? 11 months ago:
It was a long time ago I played it, so I’m not sure how well it has aged.
But I recommend Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. It’s a platformer where boomerangs are your weapon. Over time you unlock different kinds of boomerangs with different perks (like fire boomerangs or exploding boomerangs). I remember it being quite fun at the time.

That means only one thing: Gex!
- Comment on Free Radical Design shut down 1 year ago:
That’s a bummer. I loved TS2 and TS3. I really hoped they would finally do it this time and release a fourth one.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 16 on PC shows signs of life, with producer Yoshi-P saying it will run best on an SSD 1 year ago:
It’s recent. Previously many games were also targeting PS4 and Xbox One, which used slower hard disks. But that is now becoming a thing of the past. Now we should expect more games utilize faster hard disk speeds.
- Comment on Light No Fire Announcement Trailer 1 year ago:
The original NMS trailer was also revealed on one of the Geoff Keighley award shows (I’m sure it was The Game Awards back then).
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 1 year ago:
Playing Inscryption. I guess I’m about halfway through. I liked how it started, but I feel like the game is already running out of steam. Not sure if I’m going to finish it.
- Comment on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years - IGN 1 year ago:
They’re continuing the 7 ate 9 trend

AC6 is already a Rusty dating sim
- Comment on Only You Can Prevent The Game Awards Hype Cycle - Aftermath 1 year ago:
I would if it wasn’t so unbearably long. Only for the announcements though.
- Comment on The Game Awards announces its 2023 nominees 1 year ago:
Underwhelming is a more appropriate wording. It’s a good game. It just leaves more to be desired. Especially after all these years of development.
- Comment on Nominees for Game of The Year at TGA 2023 1 year ago:
I have played Zelda, but not BG3, and I agree that BG3 should win.
- Comment on ‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Seeing Lowest B.O. Opening Ever At $47M+ 1 year ago:
It has higher user score than critics score on RT, so at least they cannot complain about biased journalists.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Elden Ring really scratches that exploratory game itch. Every meter felt worth visiting. You never really know what awaits in the next corner. If you’re lucky it might be the entrance to a completely unique area, all with its own set of enemies and bosses. It’s a game that dares to put an optional secret area behind a secret area behind another secret area.
Even on second play through I was caught off guard by some new surprises.
Compare it to Tears of the Kingdom for example. Wherever you go, you will find the same sets of enemies and often even the same environmental assets. After you’ve visited a few of the sky archipelago islands there’s few other surprises to see there. Encountering the first Flux Construct is a fun challenge, but after the 20th one it has turned into a mindless chore.
- Comment on PS5 & PS4 Will Lose X Integration This Month, a Year After Elon Musk's Acquisition of Twitter 1 year ago:
It replaced the select button, which to be frank was also quite useless.
- Comment on Squadron 42: Hold The Line 1 year ago:
Exactly! They’ve found an incredibly successful business model without having to release a finished game. There’s no incentive for them to change that.
- Comment on Squadron 42: Hold The Line 1 year ago:
Spoiler: it will
- Comment on Lies of P - Discussion 1 year ago:
I’ve only played the demo of P, but if you expect Sekiro sword dances you’re probably going to be disappointed.
Parrying is important in P, as it builds up stagger. But they’re trickier to land. Can be quite satisfying once that’s nailed down.
Not sure how the game evolves beyond the demo.

Gabe is already the wealthiest in the video game industry. He’s good.
- Comment on 'Oppenheimer' Surpasses 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Becomes Highest-Grossing Biopic of All-Time 1 year ago:
I got the feeling that Oppenheimer is quite true to the events compared to many other Hollywood biopics. I could read Wikipedia about the events after watching the movie and think “oh yeah, that happened in the movie” for many paragraphs. Some lines in the movie are even accurate word for word.
The Imitation Game is pure fiction by comparison. It’s a fascinating story to base a movie on, but they decide to throw it all out and instead replace it with something completely made up. I hate how they wasted that potential.
- Comment on I hate using mobile to read articles 1 year ago:
Safari also has reader mode.
- Comment on Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse 1 year ago:
Unity is charging per install (not per sold unit), so technically developers can owe Unity more money than they make.
- Comment on F-ZERO 99 - Nintendo Switch Online | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 1 year ago:
Sounds like a fun concept. I liked Tetris 99 and Mario 35, so might try it.
