- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 6 days ago:
I got my Xbox Series to play Fable. It also doubles as an extra Halo machine for Lan parties. But it was really for Fable.
Still waiting, but it’s supposed to finally come out next year I believe.
- Comment on Astro Bot wins Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024 1 week ago:
Do you mean that Sackboy was relatively grounded compared to Astrobot or are thinking of Little Big Planet?
Either way, it sounds like I need to play Astrobot.
- Comment on Astro Bot wins Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024 1 week ago:
How does it compare to something like Sackboy?
- Comment on Astro Bot wins Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024 1 week ago:
Damn, is this game that good?
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
I kind of love the early game. If I see a particularly difficult room, usually it’s a treasure room and you can back out or take the challenge. The two real objectives are get gold or kill a boss.
RL2 feels a lot bigger and more dependent on longer marathon runs and more strategic builds. For me it’s still a lot of fun, but not nearly the same cozy feel. Plus there are other challenges that seem mandatory for progression. Having said that, I have not touched the difficulty sliders.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
I’m going to give a possibly controversial opinion. But my favorite casual game to play is Rogue Legacy.
If you accept that you know you’ll die a lot, it’s a lot less stressful. Outside of that, it’s extremely player friendly. It’s not too complicated. There’s progression. You have runs that end and give you a place to stop. You can turn it off anytime without needing to worry too much about losing progress. It has platforming.

Holy crap, I thought you were joking. Yeah, it’s Among Us.

Fine, I’ll play them.
- Comment on What are some great games that require you to bust out a notebook and pen? 2 weeks ago:
I love the Morrowind recommendation. Also, unlikely suggestion, but I had to get a pen and paper for The Great Crystal dungeon on Final Fantasy XII.
- Comment on New PlayStation Portable report backed by Digital Foundry 2 weeks ago:
From the sound of it, it will just use PS5 OS. So probably not. But every system after PS1 other than the PS4 has had some sort of backwards compatibility.
- Comment on New PlayStation Portable report backed by Digital Foundry 2 weeks ago:
If it’s backwards compatible with PSP, Vita, PS1, then I’m down. Otherwise, meh.
- Comment on I live in the green part 2 weeks ago:
I live in a maroon state. I’m definitely overweight, I literally just checked a BMI calculator and apparently I’m a hair away from obese (that doesn’t feel accurate, but that’s what the numbers say).
I’ve been told so many times that I’m a healthy weight and I don’t need to lose weight.

My 5 year old freaking loves Donut County.

- Comment on Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? 3 weeks ago:
I used to see them all the time on Playstation. Kingdom Come Deliverance and Prey are $3 right now, Control and Shadow of War are $6, Serious Sam 4 is $6 (I might get that one). There are others too. But not as many as there used to be though.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 3 weeks ago:
I would love to know for sure. I’ve pit hundreds of hours into Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy X, Morrowind, and probably Halo: Reach too.

Kutamae - Comment on Bloomberg: Sony Interactive Entertainment working on portable PS5 3 weeks ago:
My PSP was half it’s own console and half a portable PS1. The PS3 ended up with a massive PS1 catalog and I think all of it was downloadable to the PSP.
- Comment on Greatest video game ever played? 4 weeks ago:
Tie between Final Fantasy X and Morrowind.
- Comment on What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head? 4 weeks ago:
Morrowind
Any time a critical character dies (usually because you’re on a killing spree) it says that. But it’s also become a meme when someone famous dies in real life.
- Comment on What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head? 4 weeks ago:
“With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”
- Comment on Rumors of Sony Acquiring FromSoft’s Parent Company - GAMESCENSOR 4 weeks ago:
I don’t find that hypocritical. My issue with acquisitions is that it makes multiplatform games potentially exclusive.
Franchises they built and invested in should be exclusive. Franchises they hoard with no additional resources should remain multiplatform.
- Comment on Rumors of Sony Acquiring FromSoft’s Parent Company - GAMESCENSOR 4 weeks ago:
I definitely saw people looking at the culture angle as a silver lining or sometimes as a potential net positive. I only saw fanboys celebrating Bethesda though.
Either way it seemed to me like most were looking at the potential upside. Not that they were actually glad that it happened.
- Comment on Rumors of Sony Acquiring FromSoft’s Parent Company - GAMESCENSOR 4 weeks ago:
Kinda seems like only xbox fanboys were applauding it. I hate multiplatform developers getting bought and made exclusive.
- Comment on Pocketpair Confirms Which Patents Nintendo And The Pokemon Company Are Suing It Over 1 month ago:
What I always hear is that companies will send C&D letters to small ventures, because it creates precedence. Without that, a company loses the right to sue.
I wonder how true that actually is.
- Comment on Mindsweeper — a principled take on minesweeper 1 month ago:
Not a fan of autopilot or subtracting flags (that one really screws with my head). But I like the game!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Also, if they are look at the ups and downs, hopefully they invested when it hit the dip.
- Comment on Inn english their our know rules, 1 month ago:
For me, I think it just depends. Kind of like how “the” can be “thee” or “thuh” depending on how much I’m enunciating.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 1 month ago:
It’s weird that games nailed run racing games back in the PS2/Xbox era. Between Burnout, Midnight Club, Need for Speed, all of them peaked. Then couldn’t repeat formula. Then on the PS3 they had Motorstorm. But really there hasn’t been a lot of fun racing games since.
- Comment on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete - Welcome to Your New Home, Campers 1 month ago:
I used to play the crap out of this game. I got a ridiculous amount of stuff without paying a dime too. I had to stop playing because it took too much of my time.
