- Comment on The first new Heroes of Might and Magic strategy game in over 10 years will launch this month 1 hour ago:
Yup. 5 is probably tied with 3 as my favorite in the series. Glad they consider 4 a good entry as well, because even if they messed with traversal, the sailing theme is bangin

Self-reflection, empathy, and humility are not based! Clearly the world is better off by being a narcissistic sociopath that doubles down on every action and opinion.

Is the difference in dosage that significant?

It’s a wonderful experience, yeah. Happened to me playing The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

- Comment on Developer of cozy tea shop adventure Wanderstop is shutting down: 'It's a particularly tough time for raising game funds' 4 days ago:
Very sad news. I’ve loved everything Wreden and C418 have made. And the teaser for Engine Angel looks like a lot of fun. But Wanderstop was a little divisive. I really enjoyed it, but I can certainly see that it has a very narrow market.

Most of the songs are meant that way, but some (cutscene music for example) take the forefront. A different use case is normal though. It’s kind of like saying you’re not supposed to enjoy anything not prepared by a 5* chef.

All my suggestions are up there already, just happy to see ReCore being mentioned still. Metal Arms and Jet Force Gemini are excellent.

So, you’re talking about a dedicated ‘sit down and listen to this album in whole’ kind of experience? I don’t think even most albums are great for this, but yeah video games typically aren’t good for this because of the different moods they go through. I listen to a few straight though though:

Hell yeah. I’ve listened to the Mario Christmas medley every year since it debuted.
- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 1 week ago:
Switch 2 had record-breaking sales FYI. This story is really about the overall economy and how fans already bought it.

Just look at this comment section, it’s popular to hate Nintendo. It’s mostly justified, but this story isn’t.

Everyone definitely doesn’t know they don’t think

LLMs do not think. The Plagiarism Machines read a million sentences humans wrote about AI thinking and regurgitated them.

Personally, Edith Finch and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter really played to some themes of family and nostalgia that hit home. Something about returning to a place you moved from and seeing things in a different light now that you’re older just makes for a beautiful story.

I guess it’s the combination of two industry gameplay types: “voice on the radio” like in Bioshock, and “branching dialogue trees” like in Mass Effect. You choose when to start a dialogue with your counterpart over the walkie-talkie after things you notice, or you can choose not to mention something.

It’s been like 10 years, but I still feel guilty I never bought Oxenfree after watching a Lets Play. I did get the sequel.

- Comment on "Palworld is going to be the survival crafting game everyone always wanted" and "people will be shocked" at how big 1.0 is, says Pocketpair publishing lead 2 weeks ago:
A big factor with Palworld is building up your automation with good base design and Pal management. You assign them to build, sew seeds, water, harvest, transport, mine, chop trees, manufacure items, power generators, etc. As you progress, the systems you maintain get more complicated but provide better services/items/convenience. Exploring is a lot of fun, with Pals you can ride, traversal mechanics like the hookshot, and gliding. Plus all the usual open world mechanics like enemy bases to clear, warp points to unlock, powerful world bosses hanging around, dungeons, and resources to seek out. I’ve sunk probably 200 hours in it with friends.

Yeah I love Pokemon and everything, but this kind of Nintendo apologism is gross. They don’t have a copyright on dog monster or derpy dragon. These are all based on animals and yokai, so obviously there will be similarities. But the idea that there was plagiarism/re-used assets was complete fabrication from the start. If you want to see an ACTUAL ripoff, watch the trailer for Palworld then watch the Pickmon trailer. I’m certain this game indeed plagiarized Mammorest at least, and the game design is identical.
