- Comment on Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming 4 days ago:
Just consider what you’re up against - the first one was 7.49€ and I haven’t bought it yet simply because I have too many games to play for years now. I certainly won’t pay more than 10€ for the original or the sequel and I’d never pay MS for their shitty subscription.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 1 week ago:
The only good is Mass Effect 1, the second one was consolized safe cookie-cutter third person gameplay with the stupidest game finale of all time.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 1 week ago:
the bulk of the negative reaction to it had to do with bugs and/or missing content on launch
I played it after it was nominally fixed, but the story is complete shit and the gameplay is cookie-cutter third person sfslop
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 1 week ago:
Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs.
Wish for your lack of discernment, I’d have so many good-to-me games to play.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 1 week ago:
The franchise is fucked, Andromeda didn’t interest many people anymore after ME3 was so shit, but it was dead to me after they ruined the story with a giant space skeleton bossfight at the end of ME2.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 week ago:
The reason might be a slippery slope or whatever, but there’s mountains of disgusting visual novel incest fantasy shit, so much that I had to filter out all sexual content from Steam even though I might enjoy occasional Sex With the Devil or some Genital Jousting.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 2 weeks ago:
Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.
Just make people sign one of those “I understand there’s no guarantees this’ll work or won’t rape me” when they download the private server software, you fucking corporate snakes.

I agree he’s a hack, but his games are always fun for me.
- Comment on New Nuclear Throne beta build adds 60/120FPS support and quality of life features 4 weeks ago:
Nice. For anyone wondering, it’s openbeta x64 and the new options like refresh and aspect ratio are under controls for some reasom
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Will Take Cues From Mass Effect, Souls Games and More 4 weeks ago:
I’m interested but will wait up to two years after release for it to be 15€ to get excited
- Comment on You are NOT ready for this! – Endlight (Review) 4 weeks ago:
whilst the game is not officially supported on the Steam Deck, it runs fine on it, as it has a native Linux port, although I had to move to PC for that Metropolis level as it was starting to lag
You mean Windows, a PC is actually what runs Linux in this case. Just wanted to say Linux port usually has worse performance than DirectX ran through Proton, it makes more sense running a Windows version on Linux than the native version.

Embracer extended, now it’s extinguishing
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 1 month ago:
No, I’ve seen it, that is feedback and it should be invaluable to all interested parties, not only those who set the price.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 1 month ago:
Just as heads up, Obsidian, I’ll require this to be at least 75% off if it’s good and over 20 hours of single-player campaign. If it’s shorter, I can be enticed at 90% off. I’ll wait for a few years, no problem, my family group backlog is in the thousands.
- Comment on Super Meat Boy 3D: 15 Minutes of Gameplay 1 month ago:
That’s good news, I might give this a chance.
- Comment on Super Meat Boy 3D: 15 Minutes of Gameplay 1 month ago:
This looks completely unappealing, and I say that as someone who likes 3D platformers. There’s even no replay with all of the attempts at once, I’d argue that gimmick did a lot of heavy lifting.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 1 month ago:
this handful of uncooked milled oats was a fantastic palate cleanser after half a kilo of shit

I know, I know, that’s why I’m piling it on still.
- Comment on Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans 1 month ago:
They have no leverage, no exclusive games and their DirectX moat is filled by Proton/Vulkan
- Comment on Deathloop is free to claim on Epic Games 1 month ago:
I’ll take it, throw it on a 300+ pile, but I won’t install your shit Sweeney.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 1 month ago:
It’s because Take Two came out with a fuck-you-in-the-ass EULA for all their games. I actually look forward to boycotting someone, there’s too much free and discounted shit everywhere
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 2 months ago:
They’ll undoubtedly retain all of the people who came to play Dreck Aegis, after all it’s highly state of the art and highly replayable, like any Doom game.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 2 months ago:
How nice for Microsoft, I’m sure it’s a big success.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 2 months ago:
The reverse-Midas of Microsoft, whatever they buy turns to shit.
- Comment on New STALKER remasters launch to 'Mostly Negative' Steam reviews 2 months ago:
Happy they didn’t fuck up the originals, but added these as separate titles. Fucking Sony recently pushed a rEmaSteREd Days Gone as a patch and it sucks, the version before looked great at 45 FPS on Steam Deck, this one is in the toilet for dubious gains. They certainly did it so that people who play the game on their ps5 pro don’t notice how much better the game looks and works on the pc.
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 2 months ago:
Looks like complete ass, deflect the green is the stupidest idea in gaming in a long time and those dragon segments are just an insult. Also, I’m happy Bethesda saved time and CPU cycles not baking lighting, but it got offloaded to gamers’ computers for dubious benefit. I have eyes, I see how 2016 and Eternal look, please tell me how much of a graphic improvement the endless glitching fields of darkness are. I wouldn’t buy a game for more than 15€ if it’s top notch (patient gamer here), but I don’t see myself playing this ever, it just evokes a sadness. The story of Eternal (the only game of the recent trilogy I actually liked) was a huge Marvel-caliber turd and I skipped every cutscene, so I’m not expecting anything in that department.

Yeah, make me read through an investor-oriented powerpoint once, shame on you.
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 2 months ago:
That’s what got me confused - why call it a trailer if there’s nothing new? Not even a UE5 remaster, those are all the rage now.
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 2 months ago:
I genuinely don’t understand, is this a new edition and if so, what’s added? Or is it just a trailer apropos nothing, CDPRs “not without my anus” of the gaming news cycle?

Still 70€, call me when it’s 10 or less.
