- Comment on EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private 19 hours ago:
Yeah, but that‘s usually stakeholder-driven. Of course, it could be all the same if and when they go private, but this move just seems unprecedented to me so it‘s interesting to observe if it does have any impact in this regard.
- Comment on EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private 1 day ago:
I‘d certainly be interested to see if that‘d change any of their exploitative practices like FUT. Also hopefully that brings Codemasters back to old form… And please bring old online services back up cause money doesn‘t seem to be the issue then lol
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Dev Gearbox Asks PC Gamers to Wait 15 Minutes for Shaders to Compile in the Background While Playing After Reports Indicate Recent Update Causes Stuttering - IGN 1 day ago:
If all the shaders are compiling in the background and it‘s stutter free (minus traversel stutters, I guess) after that, I actually find that reasonable. If I can get rid of stutters by idling in the game for 15m while doing something else, then sure.
But I have a hunch that it‘s still not a smooth ride after.
At least this is the most reasonable thing I‘ve heard from GB since release lol

Assassin‘s Creed: Rogue
I‘m playing some AC Rogue and while I like the AC4 style gameplay… I had completely suppressed the memory of the shaking sprint camera, it bothers me sooo much

Cheaping out on optimization is one thing, telling customers to basically eat shit if they have a problem with it is… something that‘s not gonna have any major consequences nowadays, I guess lol

Yes, those are lagspikes from the server IIRC.

I‘ve decided it‘s time to catch up in the gacha games I‘m playing, all stories have been pretty good so I‘m having a good time in Genshin/Zenless/WuWa

All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!
Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!
- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 3 weeks ago:
The appeal is that it‘s a great game with beautiful art that runs on just about anything for an affordable price with no modern fuckery attached.
But if metroidvanias aren‘t your thing, it‘s just not your thing. I‘m also not super obsessed with metroidvanias and played the first game a fair amount but that much, I do, however, get why people just want to hyped for something that doesn‘t spit in their face in return for once.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
I‘m gonna continue Salt & Sanctuary this weekend, which is basically 2D Dark Souls, like, heavily inspired by Dark Souls.
Other than that, I‘ve picked Outpath back up which is Minecraft graphics combined with Forager gameplay, I suppose? It‘s hard for me to describe.
Maybe I‘ll start Peak with my gf if she wants to. She‘s kinda scared cause she read it‘s hard, I have no clue, I‘m going in blind lol

That 0.8 out of 10.0 from levelup is a typo, no?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I think it was Satisfactory, started and finished it this year and it‘s a big game. Any game outside of Steam I can‘t see the playtime so I wouldn‘t know.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter adds Switch 2 version; ‘Prologue’ demo now available for PS5, Switch, and PC 5 weeks ago:
The original was one of my personal top 3 stories, really captivated me. Problem is that I still remember the twists and 95% of the game‘s charm is the plot to me so I won‘t get a remaster.
I envy anyone who gets to experience this for the first time with uptodate graphics.
I do hope they touch up those iceskate-y run animations though, they look super awkward compared to the rest shown lol
- Comment on Day 396 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I certainly think it is slower, especially with the absence of 200cc, but I also don‘t make much use of grinding/walldriving so I‘m likely a lot slower than I could be. I just generally like MK8 more since a lot of the tracks really have that „this is a filler track between tracks“ feeling to them for me. YMMV.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
It happened to me towards the end as well, but thankfully reloading my savefile got me back on track. Your comment made me aware that just cause everything looks bizarre it‘s not necessarily intended and saved me from the same fate lol
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
I‘ve picked Manifold Garden back up and man… this game is so utterly unique, I recommend anyone give it a shot next sale. Even if you‘re not into puzzle games, just seeing what it does visually will give you a unique experience, I reckon.
- Comment on Former BioWare exec producer says EA was pitched multiple times to remaster the first three Dragon Age games 1 month ago:
Can you elaborate? Would jacking up the graphics, animations, and sound mess with the atmosphere? It‘s been a hot minute since I‘ve played it so I‘m not sure what the issue would be.

That‘s a nice catch I‘m gonna spread at any opportunity in the future
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 month ago:
One has to be Crusader Kings III considering the amount of time that died in that game. I did Lingua Franca (world domination) when mods and savescumming voided achievements, my whole empire fell apart literally 20 seconds after I achieved world domination lol, could barely hold it together to achieve the feat.
The other one is probably Rocket League. Low skill floor, skyhigh skill ceiling, wonderfully designed esports game. If you could still freely go in and out of casual games, I‘d probably still play it. But I peaked and don‘t feel the need to play ranked anymore and casuals started to feel like ranked.
After these two I can probably name ten more but I can‘t say which takes a top 3. League of Legends, Counterstrike 1.6, Battlefield 3, HITMAN, Dark Souls II (yep lol, I could probably draw a map of this game from memory), NIOH 1/2, Monster Hunter World, Sleeping Dogs, Muse Dash, all these games killed countless hours with fun, but it‘s hard to put one above the other. Apart from League of Legends, that one takes the rear.

If that‘s the case then I shouldn‘t be as sceptic cause I liked Infinite quite a bit

- Comment on Xbox Series X and S: Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 30 Million Consoles This Generation 1 month ago:
Yup, best controller design for my hands. If only the quality of its components wasn‘t so crap. Drifting sticks, squeaky triggers, double pressing buttons, I had it all. I thought an elite controller would be of better quality, got one, and the plastic of the right shoulder button straightup broke within a year. No dropping, no throwing, it just broke from normal use lol
The form‘s great, the buttons (when they work), are great, the sticks (when they work) are great. It just doesn‘t last long past warranty. Thankfully they‘re on sale every year for like 35 bucks but I‘d rather they were a tad more expensive with better quality components… I guess they don‘t mind people having to buy more of them either though…
- Comment on Day 385 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
I think it‘s so dominant cause it‘s cheap and easy to make, and it runs on anything. I don‘t see it go anywhere anytime soon. But I hope some AA studios will try their hands on this style.
- Comment on Day 385 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
I love the visuals… I wish there were way more games out there looking like that, but at best it‘s (great) cell-shaded characters/monsters in a clay/plastic-looking world nowadays.
- Comment on Humble Choice this month contains Persona 5 Royal, My Time at Sandrock, Lil Gator Game, more 1 month ago:
P5R is a reminder to me that I should be patient. Got it for 40 bucks way back, 2 hours played. I‘ll play it eventually, no doubt, but I didn‘t need it then lol
This month‘s choice is stacked
