Sadly because of learning materials and the media, a lot of mainland Europeans that learn English often learn American English mannerisms. I remember in college there was a girl everyone thought was American to begin with but she just happened to be Spanish.

As a kid my first experience of it was a friend playing it so I got that feeling of wonder from that instead of trailers and the like, and because of that i was very satisfied with the game

It’s such a good fucking soundtrack, one of my all time faves

I low key prefer DmC over the others. The gameplay and music is just so good
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 6 days ago:
2 is my favourite, but I know some people bounce off of the combat hard because you’ve got to keep rhythm, not mash as well as all of the preparation you should do beforehand that can give you a better chance in the fight. For me though, that’s why I prefer it over 3.

Yeah i always rate a film based on how well it does what it intends to, I’m not comparing it to my favourite film, that feels like I’d just be disappointed in 95% of all films i watch and that would such a sad life.

5 and 6 are top notch couch co-op games. I think the only prior that hate then are ones that tried to play them solo

If it was completely fake, then yeah I guess it would be vegan. But that doesn’t mean a vegan would still want a fake “real” steak. Not ask vegans want that taste and also in this hypothetical may also not want to be reminded of the shit that had to go down for real steaks.
Also vegan and I use arch, btw.

Studio ghibli films are child friendly (mostly) but not for children explicitly
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 3 weeks ago:
I love all of the soundtracks mind but everything since 2 has just been iterations of what we got in 2 (and i don’t mean that in a bad way), but they’ve revisited the style of 1 and I’d love to hear elements of that brought back into the soundtrack of a future installment.
Since writing my comment, I’ve watched a video on paralives which coincidentally comes out in a few days and that is looking to be shaping up to be a spiritual successor to my theoretical Sims 3.5. So I’m excited to play that now haha. Hope their soundtrack is on point.

I enjoyed it for a time as a second screen game. Was great when not a lot was happening at work during covid.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah as a fan of the series is annoying because there is no “best game”.
Sims 2 has loads of content, but sims only age if they’re in the current household so you end up with children that have moved out of their parents end up being the same age or older than their parents.
Sims 3 was arguably the best, even though it missed some of that “extra detail charm” that 2 had. But it had that awesome “open world” feel and all sims aged appropriately.
Then Sims 4 came around with the best Build Mode and Mood system out of the series that it now makes 2 and 3 feel not as good anymore. But then you lose all of the REALLY cool stuff 3 added to the series. 4 kind of feels like it pretended 3 never happened.
The best Sims would be a theoretical 3.5 combining the best out of 3 and 4. And then to go the extra mile they could add all of the extra detail flourish 2 has. (And personally also if they bring back the piano jazz of 1).

But at the time when they were trying to go independent it would’ve seemed a more accurate estimation of worth, it’s just weird that they kept that valuation and most likely added onto it by the time Sony was interested. But also Jim Ryan was obviously enamoured with the idea of live service games and Bungie already had a successful one running.
- Comment on Need for Speed: Most Wanted – The game that got me into racing 4 weeks ago:
Hot Pursuit is the last Burnout game in my opinion. I love the handling in that game. MW is my fave but I definitely play Hot Pursuit more nowadays due to its pick up and play nature.

This is my favourite NFS and possibly overall racing game
- Comment on PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Hard disagree, if you play 2, then go back to the first, they play so differently. Each iteration has movement getting even more fun than the last.

With halo and the staff that made it, you could argue they’d be worth that much but they didn’t.

Technically no, in actuality, yes. I can start and finish as long as my hours are my contracted hours, but I have a daily meeting at 9 so I start my day with that meeting everyday. And then if I work normally, I finish at 5
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 5 weeks ago:
You’re doing a lot of speaking for me there, and putting words in my mouth I’ve not said. Never once did I say I’m pro DRM. Would I prefer if they didn’t do this at all? Obviously. You’re arguing with me for something I’m not fighting. I was not defending Sony, only disputing your claim that it’s made things noticeably worse for the general majority and my first comment was just explaining what the issue you barely described in your first comment even was.
Because of how locked down consoles are in their normal use anyway, this issue will barely, if at all affect anyone, who is using their console as intended. It’s obviously a completely different story for those that will eventually tinker and use it way beyond it’s eventual sunsetting. The console itself is technically already riddled with DRM anyway, even if they didn’t add this new countermeasure.
Once again, not advocating for DRM. I would rather the concept not exist at all. But this most recent drama has not changed a thing when it comes to your standard use of the console. There was already DRM involved beforehand.
In the end, I agree with you on your points on DRM itself.
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 5 weeks ago:
But in reality it barely affects anyone who uses their PS5s normally though. It would only affect you if for whatever reason your internet is down for more than 14 days or you buy a game 13 days before they shut down services (at which I imagine they’d remove both this and the ability to refund during that period).
Like I said before it’s shitty they did this without explanation but also saying that this is negatively affecting everyone else just to stop a minority is just straight up false. Heck it had been in place for a while and nobody noticed a thing. It was a modder specifically trying to find exploits that blew the whistle on it and even then it was just that he saw a timer counting down in the same way PS+ games do.
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 5 weeks ago:
Just so you’re aware the DRM issue was just that they now have an expiry during the return window because they had people buying a game, downloading it, taking their console off the network, refunding on the website, finishing the game in their own time and then reconnecting to the internet when they no longer want it which then locks you out of the game. The licence is perpetual once it’s past the return window. I don’t quite know what a better option in solving this other than the fact they should’ve just been up front with the changes to begin with.
