I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m here now…
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 1 day ago:
I
likeliked the look of Subnautica but because of my thalassophobia I can’t play it. Now I wouldn’t play it anyway after the bullshit that was reported last year. - Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 6 days ago:
I’m not a fan of Steam or any launcher really but they have some useful features like friends lists and multiplayer updates. I don’t miss the times of downloading individual patches and having to insert a disc but nowadays has its own problems like “online” requirements for singleplayer and being forced to update. Thankfully GOG exists and some devs still offer DRM free versions and that’s my priority now.
- Comment on New Fable game removes feature core to franchise's DNA 1 week ago:
I’m not convinced by the trailer/gameplay we’ve seen so far as it just
feelslooks so bland to me. Hopefully I’m wrong. - Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 1 week ago:
Kingdom: Two Crowns is great fun in co-op.
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I agree with this. Most achievements just don’t have the fun or inquisitive nature they should and are pretty much meaningless.
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 2 weeks ago:
Completing the Pokedex is pretty cool.
I’ve come close to getting all the capsule toys in Shenmue but in the end it was a lot if reloading saves and eventually I gave up. I barley finish any games so doing extra challenges is even rarer for me :/
- Comment on As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure' 2 weeks ago:
I know exactly the trailer you’re talking about. Obviously the game didn’t turn out that way but in my opinion The Division is an under-appreciated gem. It was absolutely awful at launch though and I think it took over a year to fix and adjust the gameplay.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 3 weeks ago:
Games that jump straight into things without letting me see the options menu first.
Not having the Playstation icons as a preset when I want to use my PS4 controller on PC.
- Comment on Arc raiders is a horrible game 4 weeks ago:
Calling it a horrible game is a bit much.
I don’t think it’s as amazing as people make it out to be but, like you mention, turning off crossplay significantly improves matchmaking and supposedly giving feedback helps balance it even more. Its also a lot more fun with friends but the amount of PVP increases with groups and especially much more with 3 man.
- Comment on How TF2 Still Makes Millions (With No Updates) 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t played TF2 in a long time. I’ve been following a mod called TF2 Classified which sounds interesting though so might jump on that when it’s released
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 4 weeks ago:
Have a look at the Heroic Launcher. I remember reading it included a feature to play some Windows games in compatibility mode or something?
Apart from that I guess it’s Geforce Now, Amazon Luna etc…
- Comment on Starcom: Unknown Space 4 weeks ago:
Looks good so thanks for the recommendation.
- Comment on Request to mod c/roosterteeth 5 weeks ago:
Why not?
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t pre-order but I do buy early access games. Unless it’s something genuinely limited edition and unique there is not reason to risk buying before release.

- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 month ago:
I have mixed opinions on physical media but. I’m starting to agree with you on this point. In the past I’m all for having the option to buy it on disc/cartridge but when you have to install the game anyway and download a day one patch it kinda defeats the purpose of it. Also offline mode on consoles if just a joke at this point.
- Comment on Hands-On With the Miyoo Mini Flip; The Modern Successor to the GBA SP (my review) 1 month ago:
If I didn’t already have a Miyoo Flip v2 I would buy this version in a heartbeat. The love the clamshell design and portability of these things is a huge upside and I take it everywhere with me. I have been using MinUI on mine and it works great (especially quick save state and resume on open) but after reading your article I decided to change it up and move over to Knulli which has a lot more options.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 months ago:
It’s hard not to when player 4 player GoldenEye :D
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 2 months ago:
Yeah I do all that myself with ETS2 but wanted to give another example.
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 2 months ago:
Yeah I guess I am. Just give it to us in a bigger form…

- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 2 months ago:
It didn’t really take off to begin with but dual screen support like Supreme Commander had with the real-time map overview on the 2nd monitor. It could be a skirmish map or live track map for a racing game, live scoreboard, player status or inventory system.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 months ago:
That is a reason why offline installers are so important. At the very least we should be able to disable auto updates and still launch the (outdated) game.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 months ago:
Internet Connection - On/Off
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 2 months ago:
I’m not sure what Halo has to do with it? Also from what I remember Gears was a huge franchise back in the peak Xbox 360 days so of course it got sequels
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 2 months ago:
I got bored of the semi open-world part but it was still much better than Gears 4.
- Comment on Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007 2 months ago:
That’s impressive. I’m more of a “play everything but finish nothing” kind of player…
- Comment on EA Announces No F1 26 Next Year, F1 25 Will Get a Major Expansion Instead 2 months ago:
With the significant rule changes I can see why they would do it this way.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I didn’t realise this existed so thanks from me. Also probably the best answer here.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 months ago:
I’d go for CO:E33 too. Its a decent enough game but I don’t understand the absolute hype it receives. Probably a 5/10 game for me.
