- Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Xbox President Sarah Bond has set up a new team dedicated to game preservation and forward compatibility 8 months ago:
To be honest they’ve been doing this for a while with backwards compatibility so it’s continuation to make it forwards compatible as well. It’s a bummer they’re not following up with physical copies but it’s clear there’s been a lack of demand for Xbox games. Seems like they want to go the Steam route which I’m all for.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 11 months ago:
Mass Effect was pretty great with this and really paved the way for games now. i still don’t know another set of trilogies where the game can be affected from the choices you made years before in an earlier game. I think they went so ambitious that it really tied up their hands with a lot of things for ME3.
- Comment on What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year ) 11 months ago:
Haha that’s awesome. I love that this fan base is so loud and proud. I can’t believe a shadow dropped game from Microsoft of all people turned out to be one of my favorites of the year.

I’m honestly just waiting for it to go on sale (<$25 cause I’m stingy and my backlog is huuuge) for Xbox. Looking at sales numbers it’ll probably be soon Z

Man you’ll absolutely love BioShock. Still in my top games of all time. I’m not sure why I just can’t get into Dishonered. I just enjoy “so anyways I went blasting” and I feel so punished whenever I do .

Yeah I started it a while back and just returned to it. The tutorial levels are such a slog it’s hard to keep my attention.
- Comment on What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year ) 11 months ago:
I think next year I’ll finally get to this. Was hearing so much about the issues I decided to be in the wait and see until people started really recommending it.
- Comment on What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year ) 11 months ago:
I tried to go into it blind but just from so many people telling me that I know there was some bad twist to expect. It was still absolutely great regardless. Game play a little dated but enjoyable.
- Comment on What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year ) 11 months ago:
Personally for me :
Xbox: Hi-Fi Rush , I love rhythm games and hack and slashes and this was the perfect combo. A lot of heart was poured into this game with the devs and I wish it had a bit more recognition .
PS5: GoW Ragnarok, great follow up to my favorite game last generation with a very satisfying conclusion. Was a close one between this and Spiderman 2 where both games were more of a refinement of the original but this had way more content.
PC: Spec Ops: The Line - Great story, decent mechanics for a fairly old game and the performance was wonderful playing on max settings at 144 fps on my handheld.

- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 11 months ago:
For larger communities it’s great. For small communities it sucks. People need to let the mainstream ones grow before branching to these smaller communities.
- Comment on Do you play games over the holidays with your family? 11 months ago:
Oh yes, played a bunch of Horror games over the weekend with my cousins . Outlast 2 was a highlight and Soma. Also It takes two was great but I decided playing with the wife might be more fun back home.
- Comment on The Game Awards Winner Speeches We Didn't Get to Hear - IGN 1 year ago:
Yeah it was pretty sad. They should either separate out the reveals from the awards. Or just make the event longer. I totally get why they’ll do reveals though. It makes the event more exciting and more eyes on the stream, but they should give the developers their due.

- Comment on I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal? 1 year ago:
I remember the days in college where I’d drink the night and then have kegs and eggs in the morning. Or drinking and then taking a bus to Philly that night and drinking for St Pattys day. It’s been a decade since and now way in hell could I do that again.
There’s some ways to counteract it. Make sure you drink a ton of water. I usually always have vodka sodas now so I’m more hydrated. Also carry liquid ivs around which helps.
- Comment on Control Ultimate Edition on Steam | 75% off - 9,99€ 1 year ago:
Pro tip. Upgrade launch damage, made the game a ton easier. There’s also Gameplay assistances if it’s feeling a bit too difficult. I used this for the Alan Wake DLC .
- Comment on Control Ultimate Edition on Steam | 75% off - 9,99€ 1 year ago:
This game is just so fucking good. A little slow in the beginning but once your powers open up it’s a blast. This is worth the price of admission on the Maze alone. Also if you’re trying to pick up AW2, this will definitely enhance it.
- Comment on Ayaneo's New Handheld Looks Like A 2023 Nintendo DS Successor 1 year ago:
The handheld PC market has been booming. There’s so many cool products that have been coming out. Personally I’m sticking with more established companies like Steam, Asus, and Lenovo due to being able to get better support , but the creativity of these devices have been incredible to see.
My personal favorite has to be the GPD Win 4 Pro. Brings back the PSP nostalgia and it seems more pocketable than other ones. I’m buying the Lenovo Legion Go but if money was no factor I’d buy the GPD to take on the go.
- Comment on Yuzu Progress Report September 2023 1 year ago:
Love their transparency, easily one of the most stable , user friendly emulators I’ve used. Excited for Super Mario Wonder .
Just trying to fast forward time for my Legion Go to come in.

- Comment on GPD Win Mini Review: Defying the Laws of Physics 1 year ago:
Looks like the heat issues are still there. Not sure what more they can do besides reinventing the whole thing. But this is so small, I love what they tried to do with this. He’s right that the GPD4 makes more sense and is kind of the best of both worlds.
- Comment on AMD FSR3 Hands-On: Promising Image Quality, But There Are Problems - DF First Look 1 year ago:
Really looking forward to this for my handheld coming. Hopefully the Z1E works well with this. I returned my Ally waiting for the next big handheld and realized how much it changed the way I game.

There is KB/M support on Xbox so it could be possible
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 listed for Nintendo Switch on ratings board’s website | VGC 1 year ago:
I’m more annoyed they don’t just make the game Series X enhanced . They’ve become so greedy as a company. Even if they didn’t touch the visuals it would’ve been excellent

Oh my god does that mean we can finally stop seeing the “What the point of buying an Xbox if I have a PC” comments everywhere ?
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 listed for Nintendo Switch on ratings board’s website | VGC 1 year ago:
I’m picturing they’re going to release a remastered version soon for next gen consoles.
If they could add an uncapped fps setting for the Series X, that’d be grrrreat.
- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater™ 1 + 2 is coming to Steam on October 3 1 year ago:
I actually really enjoyed UG2 but I’m not sure how they’ll get the rights to remake it especially with all the Viva La Bam characters.
- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater™ 1 + 2 is coming to Steam on October 3 1 year ago:
I know, I was playing this through console streaming from my Ally and really wished it was available natively. Great grab and go game for a couple minutes.
- Comment on Hideki Kamiya has left PlatinumGames 1 year ago:
Oh wow Scalebound, I was so excited for that game. Wish he was able to finish that as he seemed to be very passionate towards it. I heard MS was extremely pissed with the development process as well.
