- Comment on Dungeon Siege 1 on the Deck 3 weeks ago:
Manually enabling a proton version did the trick, I could download it after! That was a way simpler fix than I anticipated, I wonder why the Deck behaves like this for this game only (from my library at least).
In any case, thanks a lot!

- Comment on Sources: Everwild has been cancelled as Xbox layoffs hit Rare | VGC 3 weeks ago:
Fuck Microsoft for buying studios for billions upon billions and then going for layoffs after layoffs, but…
Including its prototype phase, Everwild had been in development for over a decade, with anonymous developers indicating they had struggled to nail down a clear direction for the title, even after a recent reboot of the project.
Quite understandable to me to axe a project that hasn‘t been going anywhere for a decade, only this part is understandable though.

Technically no (what game actually needs them?) but I like to do trophy hunting so practically yes.

I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: It wasn‘t)

- Comment on Stellar Blade on PC Hit 1 Million Sales 19 Times Faster Than on PlayStation 5 1 month ago:
From what I‘ve heard it‘s a good game and unsurprisingly sex sells. I’m not paying 70 bucks for any digital game but I‘ll check out the demo for now to see what it‘s all about.

Sleeping Dogs is easily my fav GTA-esque game and I weep that there‘s no successor, to each their own
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 1 month ago:
Yes, I prefer a game that lets me figure things out on my own through gameplay instead of popups. You are (arguably) forced to engage with the game‘s mechanics to beat the level, it has parries, environmental hazards, ambushes all in it without huge punishment in case of failure. I take the aha moment of using estus over „press square to heal.“ I‘m aware that others might need more guidance, but I didn’t and hence it‘s a great tutorial for me.
I wouldn‘t mind replaying the tutorial even now after having done it dozens of times already. It doesn‘t feel like one, I’m already playing the game and having fun, immersed in its world. So my bar is: The best tutorials don‘t feel like tutorials at all.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 1 month ago:
Dark Souls since it doesn‘t stop you in your tracks much. I dislike tutorials that stop you and make you read walls of text or force you to input/click exactly what it wants you to.
- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 1 month ago:
I really hope there‘ll be a lot more Switch 2 patches. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Pikmin 3/4, Octopath Traveler 1/2, all of these could run 1080p60 in handheld easy and I‘d love it!
- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 1 month ago:
I haven‘t tried knockout yet, I‘ll do that after I three star‘d the cups, I‘m looking forward to it
- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 1 month ago:
I think it‘s a tier below 8. The tracks feel big and empty to me, the original MK8 courses felt like a smooth rush to race through, in World I often find myself slugging through an overly broad straight. Maybe there‘s some stuff to unlock still that‘ll make the experience more exciting, but so far it‘s kinda underwhelming.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 1 month ago:
I have all games I have completed on Steam in Hidden, all games I‘ve never played in its own list and all games I have started in its own list. If I start a game I move it from one list to the other and same when I‘ve finished one. Only works for Steam stuff obviously. But I play 95% of my stuff there so that‘s good enough for me.

Core Keeper with my gf and Children of Morta/PUBG casuals with a friend. A bit of PAYDAY 3 with a group.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 2 months ago:
And another plus is that you get to play the games as bug free as they‘ll get AND at higher framerates assuming your hardware improved in the meantime. I certainly wouldn‘t have been able to get the high fidelity DOOM 2016 experience I can get now (at a high framerate) way back when it released.
Downside is that if there‘s any multiplayer component to a game, it‘s probably pretty damn dead years later. But first, I personally don‘t care much about that anymore and second, games bleed the majority of their playerbase within months anyway so it‘s whatever.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 2 months ago:
I don‘t buy any digital copy of a game for over 45 bucks, doesn‘t matter what it is… I also haven‘t finished DOOM 2016 yet and haven‘t even started Eternal. Not because they‘re bad games or because I don‘t like FPSs, but because I have so much shit to play and so little time.
Competition is fierce and asking 80 bucks when I got the predecessors for less than 5 each is just not happening. Just because games cost more to produce doesn‘t magically make customers have more money and time. It‘ll make release weeks stinkers outside of your GOTYs and makes more people wait or go back to 20+ years worth of other games that aren‘t 80 bucks.

- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 2 months ago:
There‘s a potential discussion to be had about how much of the Soulsborne/-like experience is about overcoming difficulty - and let’s be honest, the vast majority of people won‘t finetune difficulty but just go as easymode as possible - but on the other hand I strongly dislike elitism in games and in the end it should be on the player if they wanna potentially ruin their own experience or not, as such I agree with you.
Would Dark Souls have ever become the iconic game it is and FROM/Miyazaki the iconic devs they are with an easymode (in their games)? Hard to say.
I‘m always happy to see these options especially in indie games, which so often go crazy hard on difficulty towards the end (Celeste endgame for example).

- Comment on On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down 2 months ago:
The kinda prices a Mario Kart, Pokemon, or GTA can maybe ask for. Try that on a Star Wars Outlaws and the sales nosedive, I reckon.
I think the industry is gonna try to normalize these prices and crash pretty hard, cause they’ll budget their productions thinking they can sell for 90 bucks but forget they‘re neither GTA nor Mario Kart.
Then again, Dynasty Warriors Origins is 79 on Steam, I wonder how that performed for KOEI.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus’ Xbox handheld appears in leaked photos 2 months ago:
It doesn‘t look sexy but it might have a more comfy, ergonomic grip to it compared to Switch (for sure) and maybe the Deck from the looks of it. I‘d like to hold one and find out.

- Comment on EA SPORTS™ WRC - Development Update: We are pausing development plans on future rally titles. 2 months ago:
No way EA manages to kill Codemasters this quickly after acquisition, right? I know there‘s other games they‘re working on, but especially nowadays announcements like these get me worried immediately. I like their not-too-sweaty racing games and cringed hard when EA bought them.
