- Comment on MODERN WARFARE: How Call of Duty 4 Changed a Genre Forever 3 days ago:
While I preferred MW2 to MW, I still really liked MW and thought it was better than all others besides MW2. I just got really good at cheesing certain class combos in MW2, which was the only way for me to be good at those games. I’m only OK at FPS games and was able to make use of things like the riot shield for holding points or heartbeat sensor and reload perks for C4 to get good K/D ratios. In MW I got a decent percentage of my kills from Danger Close because I died a lot, and goddamn that was a funny way to kill someone. I also felt MW2 was less sniper-friendly, and I suck both as a sniper and against snipers.
- Comment on Hogwarts Legacy fans rejoice as new Harry Potter game officially announced for September 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, the main story was pretty terrible. The console controls for broom flying were also criminally bad.
I really liked the combat, though, and exploring the world was nice. Playing some of the puzzles was also fun. Even though the collect-them-all achievements were extremely vast (so much so that I didn’t even both trying for any of them when I found how ridiculously tedious it would have been to go after them), it wasn’t a deep game. But it was fun for a short time.

The combat looks a bit repetitive.
- Comment on Star Wars Outlaws: Official Gameplay Showcase | Ubisoft Forward 3 weeks ago:
That looked far better than I expected. It had a lot of Horizon Forbidden West vibes to the gameplay, but the graphics definitely felt like being in the Star Wars universe.
- Comment on Is it possible to safely "give away" a Steam account to a stranger? 3 weeks ago:
The game came with the account. I ostensibly bought the game, but the guy gave me control of the account the game was locked to.
- Comment on Is it possible to safely "give away" a Steam account to a stranger? 3 weeks ago:
Not as a protest. I just didn’t feel the need to create an account for a game, so I bought an account that was already created.
- Comment on Is it possible to safely "give away" a Steam account to a stranger? 3 weeks ago:
I bought a Steam account back in 2007-ish. I wanted to play HL2 but didn’t want to create a Steam account. I thought then, and still think now, that I shouldn’t need to create an online account just to play an offline game.
The guy gave me his login information, and then I went in to change the email and all other info to generic info. I’ve been using that account for 17 years, but I did eventually have to give them real info to buy new games.

- Comment on I just learned an interesting piece of gaming history that most people might not know about 2 months ago:
I had the original Xbox with Live to play with friends, and I played XBLA on the 360; but I didn’t know about the Arcade function on the original. I don’t remember hearing any of my gaming friends talk about it, either.
- Comment on Dragon’s Dogma II sales top 2.5 million 2 months ago:
It isn’t about tolerating it. I haven’t even found the microtransactions yet. I’m not tolerating them at all, they just aren’t a part of the game that I’m playing.
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 2 months ago:
Limiting clock speed because so many things were tied to CPU cycles and wouldn’t function on new hardware?
I remember the day I learned this lesson.
- Comment on Dragon’s Dogma II sales top 2.5 million 2 months ago:
Funny, I’ve been playing the game since the day it hit retail and haven’t even found the ability to use microtransactions, let alone ran into any game breaking problem that needed me to buy something. Sure, I’m not very far in the game, but it sounds like you didn’t get very far in the game either and somehow found all these problems I haven’t found.

What do you mean it doesn’t happen in real life? Think about the times you’ve sold something to a company. Doesn’t happen very often, right? It is likely only selling a car to a dealer or maybe going into a pawn shop or baseball card store or used clothing store. Every one of those places will let you buy it back at an inflated price if they haven’t sold it yet.

I didn’t know that… that completely changes my game.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] Dragon's Dogma 2 is a Mess: GPU & CPU Benchmarks, Bottlenecks, & Crashes 3 months ago:
My only complaints are the inability to buy back something you sold to a vendor (not realistic) coupled with the limited carrying capacity. I didn’t have enough space to carry around a bunch of copper, silver, and iron ore at the same time, so I sold off the iron. Now I need the iron ore to upgrade a weapon but can’t find any and can’t buy it back. I know I can go online and find where nodes are or whatever, but if we’re going by the rule of “it’s not realistic to fight and run like normal if you are carrying around a really heavy pack” and “it’s not realistic to fast travel everywhere” then we should be able to buy back what we sold at an inflated price.

One of the few times I’m happy to be limited to gaming on a console. The PS5 version hasn’t had any performance issues or crashes for me.

I hope you do, too. Good luck!

The timing couldn’t be better for me. Just last night I found I couldn’t be bothered play my current game anymore. Never played DD1, but I’ve never much bothered with stories in games.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 5 months ago:
I honestly have no idea if I ever finished Skyrim. I finished a ton of quests and became an unbeatable bow hunting dragon killer who yelled all the time. I’m pretty sure I got to some castle where I had to choose a faction and just didn’t bother. I explored for a couple hundred hours and never played again. 7 years later I played Morrowblivion and then replayed Oblivion (I couldn’t get Skyblivion to work if I remember right). I’ve debated playing VR Skyrim, but I don’t want to repay for the game.
- Comment on It's canon now. And so is a certain image format. 6 months ago:
Anyone who uses the argument that Graphical is pronounced with a hard G sound needs to think about how they pronounce other acronyms, like SCUBA, NASA, LASER, SONAR, POG, SIM… the list goes on.
- Comment on It's canon now. And so is a certain image format. 6 months ago:
NASA is an acronym, not an initialism. And guess how the last letter of NASA is pronounced versus how the A in the corresponding word is pronounced. Ah vs Uh.
- Comment on It's canon now. And so is a certain image format. 6 months ago:
It’s almost like there is no rule when pronouncing acronyms and people choose to pronounce them however sounds best to them. How do you pronounce the U in SCUBA? How do you pronounce the two As in NASA? The A in BASE jumping? The O in POG juice? The O in SONAR? The I in SIM card? The A in LASER? None of those are pronounced like the composite letters, so why is GIF so rigid?

TIL LOTRO is still a thing. I remember being so excited and hopeful that it could compete with WoW so I could have an alternative scratch for my MMORPG itch. I just never found it very fun or as intuitive (to me).

That helped, as did showing bot posts… for a couple days. Now I’m not seeing any new posts since 16 days ago.
- Comment on Casually Classic: WoW Classic’s leveling journey shows how much retail has lost its way 8 months ago:
It’s not linear. Levels 55-60 took me a week in Vanilla. 45-55 was almost 2 weeks, too; since the quests and dungeons at that level range are sparse. 20-40 was about a week. 1-20 was about a week and a half.
Classic took much less time than Vanilla.
- Comment on Casually Classic: WoW Classic’s leveling journey shows how much retail has lost its way 8 months ago:
You have to keep repeating yourself because you are wrong. I played Vanilla in 2006 (about a year after it came out) and also played Classic when it came out. Vanilla might have taken me a week to get to 12, I can’t remember anymore; but it was my first MMO and first RPG, my first time playing a social game and didn’t know how to group to quest or even respond to people whispering me, and didn’t have any friends giving me advice on how to play or know what internet resources to use to speed things up. I didn’t even know I could speed things up.
With Classic I was probably to level 10 in a night after work. I haven’t leveled a fresh character in Retail since Cataclysm, so I have no idea how fast it is these days.
