- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 2 days ago:
Unlikely to happen, because the leadership behind the project claimed they are in contact with Bethesda, to make sure no one’s stepping on anyone’s toes. Although obviously they can just pull the rug at any time, which would be catastrophic. Given that they’ve remade basically every single asset in the game, and require the original game to be owned and installed, it should be fine
- Comment on Cox charges you $25 if your credit card is declined 3 days ago:
Yeah that checks out. I’ve found out about this in a doubly infuriating scenario.
I was home abroad on a holiday, and they billed me for my regular monthly service. So naturally, i got slapped with the 25$ rejection fee, and then my bank decided to pay the overdraft on the second attempt, resulting in another 45$ in bank fees for that too.
Everything in the US is purposefully designed to fuck you over.
- Comment on Path of Exile 2's disastrous new update reveals the core tension at the heart of its design: How do you make a game with meaningful combat when everyone just wants to blast monsters? 1 week ago:
Genuine question for PoE1 veterans: What is it exactly, that people want from the sequel?
With my little experience in 1, I was excited about the new gem system, and the idea of not having to deal with stacks of 20 prefixes on high-end mobs, and it seems that at least with the latter nothing has changed
- Comment on Mewgenics - Official Trailer 1 week ago:
Been waiting for this one for a while. Hope it ends up being fun
- Comment on BloodBorne Released 10 Years Ago Today, Fans Once Again Organize a Return to Yharnam 3 weeks ago:
I’ve pretty much come to terms that i’ll either never finish it, or will play it again on an emulator eventually. As it is now, it won’t run any better on my Slim console, and i have no intention of upgrading it
- Comment on BloodBorne Released 10 Years Ago Today, Fans Once Again Organize a Return to Yharnam 3 weeks ago:
This is the only post-DemonSouls game i haven’t finished :/ The frame drops in some areas gave me frequent headaches, so i only made it like a third way in
- Comment on Multilingual people all must have experienced YouTube's f**kery with auto translation. Still no workaround? 4 weeks ago:
I feel like the AI dubs are just a way to annoy people with ad blockers. Both on desktop, and my modded mobile client, any time i open a new video, the player forces my quality down to 144p, and turns on the first available dub
- Comment on Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition | Review Thread 4 weeks ago:
That’s really great to see. I’m excited to get the game when i can
- Comment on Pokemon Legends Z-A's visuals aren't "great" say former Nintendo marketing leads, but hope Switch 2 could allow Game Freak to "go back to the drawing board" 5 weeks ago:
In comparison to XC2 or 3, the recent pokemon games look like an insult, and a bad joke. I’m still mindblown by that Nintendo greenlit those releases, given how specific they are with other first-party game designs
- Comment on Rebellion CEO seems kind of awed by major studios making massive videogames: 'How do you organize a game that has 2,000 people working on it?' 5 weeks ago:
I can’t imagine ever working on any project that large. Most of your people will essentially have zero communication with each other, and release a half-assed overbudgeted product as a result
- Comment on Killing Floor 3 Delayed (With no new release date) 5 weeks ago:
I don’t even know if i’m surprised, or just disappointed. It’s one thing to make a bad game, but it’s another thing to pick up a bad abandoned game, and actually make it even worse
- Comment on Killing Floor 3 Delayed (With no new release date) 5 weeks ago:
I thought 2 was already a huge downgrade from 1, however i haven’t played the game in quite some time. Didn’t know there’s still an audience for this series
- Comment on Styx: Blades of Greed | Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
I loved the first game, bought the second one on release, and havent launched it by this day. Should really catch up
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
What had happened to the people in ZAUM (or what was once that studio), is a tragedy, and a huge shame. I’m not even a cRPG/dnd person, but that game has singlehandedly opened my eyes to a whole new world. It’s easily in my top10 games of all time, and I wish we could get another one eventually
- Comment on BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News. 1 month ago:
For a second there, i’ve panicked, thinking this is about Monolith Soft. Either way, really sucks for the workers, but WB themselves can eat shit
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 1 month ago:
Because some people love going off headlines, and not the actual articles, and then further twist information, to promote their narrative.
They never said there will never be one. They said there won’t be yearly incremental releases, because they want a substantial performance leap. And that is something I strongly admire. Makes the customers feel more secure in their choice, and lets Valve work on new stuff in peace
- Comment on God of War trilogy remaster announcement set for March 2025 1 month ago:
Making brand new content costs a ton of money, and Sony clearly made colossal missteps in regards to that recently. With this, they’re hoping for what’s essentially free cash
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 2 months ago:
We used to own a 2008-ish Wrangler, and it’s the single worst car anyone in my family has ever owned. There wasn’t one redeeming quality about this vehicle, except for that it makes you look like an asshole, and I apparently some people are into that
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 2 months ago:
No one’s said anything about hating it. For me, it’s primarily a co-op game, and if they’re not going to switch to it, it’s better for me to save the cash, and put it towards something else
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 2 months ago:
Unless my friends, who have put a lot of hours into both Civ 5 and 6, unanimously recommend 7 to me, I have no intention of getting it.
I’m both satisfied enough with what I already own, and not sold on the new one yet. Not to mention that it’ll inevitably be a vehicle for more dlc and expansion packs
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
Well, isn’t that just great
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
No standalone expansions, missing some expansion packs, no visual improvements, no UI scaling, no modern settings, has mandatory EA App and Denuvo integration, and they want 20 dollars for EACH?
I’m good
- Comment on Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff 2 months ago:
I feel horrible for the people affected, because for a lot of them, this was probably a dream job, but Ubisoft will get 0 sympathy from me
- Comment on EA lost $6 billion in market value, following FC 25 & Dragon Age underperformance news 2 months ago:
I cant really find any empathy or sympathy for them, at all
- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 2 months ago:
It might inspire me to continue not wasting my money, and buying everything on sale, if it’s worth it at all
- Comment on Sony Cancels Two More PlayStation Projects 2 months ago:
Yeah, it is. And it deserved all the success it got. It was great, until Sony fucked them against their will
- Comment on Sony Cancels Two More PlayStation Projects 2 months ago:
Sony specifically had to learn many harsh lessons recently.
The Bungie acquisition brought them nothing but issues. Concord being shutdown immediately after launch was a huge was of money too. Other titles under the Sony umbrella are either struggling, or gaining poor reputation due to their completely numbskull decision to enforce PSN account usage, even for single player offline games.
They need to get their head out of the clouds
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 2 months ago:
Came here to suggest The Binding of Isaac, but it looks like people already convinced you. Hope you love it! I’ve achieved 100% completion at around 870 hours, and one of my acquaintances is currently at 4.1k hours played of that. It’s an incredible amount of fun
- Comment on There is a fee to close my HSA account 3 months ago:
This is not mildly infuriating. This should just be illegal. Paying money to close your account is beyond infuriating
- Comment on GhostRunner 2 is Free to Claim for 24 Hours on Epic 3 months ago:
I’m currently sitting at 306 total Epic titles, out of which I’ve paid for a grand total of 1. Even that was a gigantic mistake.
I’ll continue collecting these, just out of spite to ye old Tim Sweeney, and his bullshit attitude towards the community, purely because he has to pay out of pocket for every license we claim
