- Comment on Future of Giant Bomb website in doubt following prominent staff departures 1 week ago:
Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post.
Agreed. Giant Bomb pioneered so much in games media, and for it to end like that is such a shame.
As far as I am concerned, the GB I loved was already struggling after Alex, Brad and Vinny left ; and it ended for good when Jeff Gerstmann was fired abruptly (again !). This news still saddens me however, and I wonder what will be the legacy of GB down the road.
- Comment on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Trailer (2025) 1 month ago:
In the early days of this generation of VR, there used to be a Dolphin emulator VR-enabled version that could run the Metroid Prime games in VR. It was both great and pretty barf-y, and was discontinued afer some scene drama.
Not sure where VR for emulators is at right now.
- Comment on Nintendo Announce Virtual Game Cards (Digital Game Sharing) 1 month ago:
Exactly ! Steam families are now dead simple, whereas this new oh-so-Nintendo method seems as janky as it gets.
It does have one standout feature that Steam families do not though: ability to play shared games even when offline.

You son of a bitch, I’m in !
- Comment on Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend? 1 month ago:
If you want no DRM, you are basically only going to get your games from GOG.
- Comment on Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend? 1 month ago:
Why emulate ? The Master Chief Collection is available on PC. It’s missing Halo 5 though. And then Infinite went ahead and cancelled this whole storyline.
- Comment on What are your favorite games for killing nazis? 3 months ago:
The Sniper Elite series is basically nazi-killing porn. Those won’t let you down, especially if you enjoy unplanned testicular detonations happening to nazis of any kind.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 5 months ago:
Guild Wars 2 has been my theme park MMORPG of choice on and off for the last 12 years, with >2500h. I have also spent ~1000h on Elite Dangerous.
- Comment on 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC! 7 months ago:
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series)
Pretty original mix of brawler and tower defense, with a presentation reminiscent of Okami. Avaiable on Game Pass and has a demo on Steam.

SteamWorld Heist II (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch)
Like its predecessor, it’s basically “2D XCOM with skill shots instead of randomness”. Highly recommended, perfect for gaming on the go with a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #2 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart 7 months ago:
Phenomenal game, if a bit short. And another impeccable PS5 to PC port from Nixxes.

- BeamNG (ongoing)
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 8 months ago:
Nostalgy drive engaged !
The Crusader series (No Remorse, No Regret) could have been built upon, with its famously cheesy live-action cutscenes.
The Quarantine series disappeared after its second installment, Road Warrior. Come to think of it, most mainstream vehicular combat games went away, like the Interstate series.
The Discworld adventure games (1, 2, Noir) were famously convoluted, but they did a pretty good job of adapting Pratchett’s world into video games.
Finally I would have liked to play the initially planned sequels to Advent Rising. I have (probably rose-tinted) fond memories of that game, but hey, you asked.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 8 months ago:
Since you enjoyed BG3, I’d strongly recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 if you have not played them already.
Other than that, a few random suggestions with sizeable coop campaigns:
- Outriders
- The Ascent
- Remnant 1&2
- Resident Evil 5&6
- Saints Row 3&4
- Trine 1-5
- Valheim
- Comment on Konami is intent on region locking Japanese players out of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 9 months ago:
Bottom line: Konami is a weird company making odd calls and has been for a long time. Someone in charge likely decided 11 years ago that MGRR should not be released on PC in Japan and that’s all there is to it.

Well they are still missing the self replicating part… But you know, give it some time.

NGL, I’m really digging what they are showing in this marketing campaign.
- Comment on Behind ‘Suicide Squad,’ the Year’s Biggest Video-Game Flop 11 months ago:
$200M ain’t no pocket change. One would hope such high-profile failures as this or Avengers would curb execs enthusiasm for live service games, but I’m not holding my breath.
- Comment on Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds - Expansion Announcement 11 months ago:
Erm, that’s quite the bare bones trailer we’ve got here, somewhat underwhelming. Not every trailer is going to be Long Live the Lich or War Eternal, but come on.

This is actually more to my taste than the crossword, thanks !

Hopefully this is more fleshed out than the first game’s basic horde mode.
- Comment on EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 - Release Date Trailer 1 year ago:
Story-wise EDF 6 is a sequel to 5, which was a reboot. The in-game ridiculous storytelling through radio communications is part of its charm, I find.
- Comment on No Rest For The Wicked's first hotfix addresses durability and repair cost complaints 1 year ago:
Not sure what you are referring to. The refund policy on Steam is the same for any games, early access or not. The game’s version number or finished state makes no difference.
Maybe you are thinking of the pre-purchase situation, where you can refund up to 14 days after the game’s release, instead of the date of purchase.
- Comment on SteamWorld Heist 2 - Official Reveal Trailer 1 year ago:
Oooh I really liked the first one. Slept on it for years then played it on Steam Deck. It was a perfect game for a portable gaming system.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 1 year ago:
I’m on the fence about Arizona Sunshine 2. I understand it’s quite short relative to its price. I might wait for a deeper discount.
- Comment on Are there any communities on Lemmy where bilingual people can communicate or practice? Specifically French. 1 year ago:
Je ne connais pas de communautés correspondant à ce que tu décris. Tu pourrais reposer ta question dans !forumlibre@jlai.lu par exemple et commencer à interagir en français et/ou anglais (le serveur francophone jlai.lu accepte les participations en anglais).
- Comment on Helldivers 2 - PC Features Trailer | PS5 & PC Games 1 year ago:
The shared-screen twin-stick design is fine, but Arrowhead has been doing it since Magicka. This feel like them getting their shot at making a wider-appeal, bigger budget game. Hopefully they stick the landing and managed to keep the feel of the original while expanding the gameplay.
- Comment on 1 year ago:
It’s kind of amazing that chose to go with that design, when they have the benefit of hindsight with recent superhero-backed games:
- the live service Avengers game flopped pretty hard
- the singleplayer Spider-man games did gangbusters
“Well duh, let’s try and make one of these live service games”.
- Comment on [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale? 1 year ago:
I bought The Making of Karateka. Not exactly a game, more like a playable documentary (akin with Atari 50 anniversary collection).
- Comment on [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale? 1 year ago:
Aragami 2 is more coop-friendly than the first game, but not as good overall.
