  Yeah this is the sad reality of weeb culture. These are the guys who try to brigade something because a character’s boobs aren’t big enough (see: Tifa in FF7 remake) and are completely, utterly serious. And they don’t understand why none of us can muster even a modicum of respect for their opinions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the $20 bucks a year price, right? If so, maybe I’ll give it a look when I’m a bit more solvent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to do this so bad because I see cup of the day stuff and think “man that sounds fun” and then I remember it is a subscription (as far as I understand) and I lose interest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here are the patents Nintendo and the Pokémon Company are suing Palworld about, according to Pocketpair⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about the legality of if either, but it seems so broken for them to have submitted these patent applications AFTER the game released, getting them accepted a few months later. That’s fucking stupid, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands' theatrical run grinds to a halt with just $31 million worldwide, which is barely enough to cover the marketing costs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Slightly off-topic: might be alone in this, but I actually really enjoyed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It’s nice, self-contained, has some fun action, some cool scenes, and it turned me on to Jake Gyllenhaal and I’ve liked his work ever since. It’s Generic and schlocky but it’s better than the usual videogame movie garbo.

  It fits nicely into that B-movie slot IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Starfield was garbage IMO. I didn’t even pay for it and wanted my money back in less than 3 hours.

  But I AM still hopeful for Elder Scrolls 6. The weakness of Starfield is exploration is barely a thing; incredibly boring procedural generation is the cause. There is little to no value getting excited exploring the world and the incredible world of Skyrim is what makes it good.

  I seriously doubt Bethesda is dumb enough to try procedural generation with the next elder scrolls game, and if they are then it will be dead in the water just by association. But a game similar to Skyrim will likely still find a stronger audience, even if just for the return to form.

  Oh man, I hadn’t heard of emudeck and was just about to start running emulation on my new deck. Any other amazing tips like this? I have run emulators for years but only on windows on my desktop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, just made my own comment on black and white, and I assumed I was the only one. Black & White 2 is still the best God game out there for me and it was so much fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit of an obscurer one, but I would love another Black & White, based on Black & White 2. It’s a god game where you control a giant bipedal creature, control a city (or several) and battle against other gods through architecture and combat. You can train your creature to do things you prefer and expand your influence however you like.

  It had a good/evil morality system, is completely winnable by being a pacifist, and has a really cute style of humor.

  No other God game has quite scratched that itch and it’s still fun to this day almost 20 years later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any video games in the Warhammer universe that are actually good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It definitely got better, but can still be buggy. You can also pretty much guarantee there will be some bigass bugs when the new DLC comes out, it’s the Owlcat way.

  I’d say the actual quality doesn’t take a nosedive anymore, the game is pretty consistently fun from start to finish. The beginning definitely has more going on though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any video games in the Warhammer universe that are actually good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vermintide is a lot of fun. The total war Warhammer games are pretty good.

  My personal favorite (as an RPG fan) is Rogue Trader (40k) by Owlcat Games. Game is superbly written and the combat and world is pretty fun too. If you hate CRPGs, stay away though. This game really showed me the secret sauce Warhammer 40k has going for it.

  I’m excited as hell for space marine 2. We’ll see how that goes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Elder Scrolls Online: Lamenting a challenge-free landscape' - article by Biobreak blog⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything above basic content in 14 (which is lowest common denominator content) can honestly be quite challenging, and savage and ultimate content is very very difficult content overall. It’s all about how much time and effort you’re willing to invest, the first 70 levels of content is pretty braindead so anyone can beat it.

  Curious if elder scrolls online is similar because I honestly don’t know, haven’t played it in a decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good PSP games?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you like ARPGs, I remember enjoying Untold Legends a lot as a kid. Was a PSP launch title, and had a very dark themeing. I don’t know if my kid memory can be trusted on the quality but I’ve seen a few other people recommend it on here so I doubt it’s bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely Hi-Fi Rush. I loved many games this year, but Hi-Fi Rush was so fun, so wholesome, so loveable that the music it used carried me through some insanely hard times. It is very obviously a passion project made by incredible creators, and I legitimately cannot find a single issue with it (which I can’t say of any other game this year).

  I still feel swells of emotion listening to the music from that game. Absolutely incredible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The original Mount & Blade at an office max, I think? 5 dollar bargain bin game. I remember being blown away by the army combat in that game. The first one was so barebones but I still love that janky mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "Burn Notice" worth watching?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly still one of my favorite shows, maybe my favorite ever. It can be campy and unrealistic sometimes, it stays within the realm of “I guess that’s possible” that you will still be curious about how they will beat the monster of the week. It’s a lot of fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield, is it getting review bombed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, me and at least 2 other people I know bounced off it hard, even after giving it multiple chances in 10+ hours of playing. Some people just aren’t jelling with it even with playtime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity Original Sins 2: An unbelievably awesome game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I still think DOS2 is one of the best games I have ever played, and I played it on release when 80% of the 4th act just broke for me. It gives a ton of freedom, interestingly written characters, and once you get the hang of the combat system it’s easy to dominate even with weird builds.

  I understand why people aren’t it’s biggest fans, but giving this one a chance is worth it. Overall, I would say BG3 (played a ton in early access) might be the more accessible game. It’s less weird, more cinematic etc. Though, I would expect it to be exceedingly buggy on release so keep that in mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Note From Gunfire Games: We launched Remnant II on July 25th, and we are humbled and grateful for the overwhelming positive response from the community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  First game is still good. 2 is mostly an upgrade (a bit more RPG-y, with more varied maps and content). Both give a similar experience though, I would say.

  I’ve played 40 hours or so of 2, and have beaten what I understand as a majority of content. It does kinda run like shit on many PCs. I can run many modern games on at least high/medium 60FPS usually on my older PC, but this one is low/medium and I’m lucky if I get 30 FPS in intense combat situations.

  Remnant 1 may be a good call while they polish up and fix performance/gameplay issues with 2.
