  No, I’ve seen it, that is feedback and it should be invaluable to all interested parties, not only those who set the price.

  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.

  That’s good news, I might give this a chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Meat Boy 3D: 15 Minutes of Gameplay⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  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

  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.

  How nice for Microsoft, I’m sure it’s a big success.

  The reverse-Midas of Microsoft, whatever they buy turns to shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New STALKER remasters launch to 'Mostly Negative' Steam reviews⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?

  their device. You own device, such as Steam Deck, you don’t have to hack, you can run anything on it however you like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any mods that rebalance difficulty to make it more challenging?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hated it, barely pulled through. Great looking game with a wonderfully designed open world and it falls apart if you engage it with any planning. It should have been a linear game, it would waste less time, the only missions worth playing are in the main quest, all of the rest is flimsiest filler, a few dudes standing around waiting for something to happen that you can hack from a distance without them realizing what’s happening. It’s more padding than pudding and it’s way too easy once you level up a few times. Even the story is very uneven in quality across the game, there’s missions that deserve to be a novel, but many are just ridiculously cheap saturday morning cartoon-level trope deployments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Within an enthusiast bubble, PC handhelds are a big deal, but they do not exist in the same universe as Nintendo consoles.

  I keep hearing this shit and it seems like stupid wishful thinking, because in a locked-down universe where Switch 2 is not a shitty proposition for way too much cash compared to getting a PC with 10k+ PC games from the get go and also emulating anything you wish because it’s your hardware and it’s just bits - in that universe, Polygon is a much needed pool of experts that people go to for advice instead of clicking on stupid ragebait titles telling them a log of shit is the new snickers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hardly ruin, you have to purposefully go find them gloating over Steam charts. But it’s too funny that people really have choice enough now in the good graphics segment that Ubisoft is sinking. It’s my fault, I cursed them when they left Steam for their 4-UAC-prompts-whenever-you-start PoS. They showed total contempt for their users with Breakpoint, tried an nft grift on the side, evolved all cosmetics to clown shoes level and totally failed to offer anything new. Where’s Reflextions? Stuff like Grow Up / Home, metroidvanias on UbiArt Framework? They have great 3D engines and can’t keep a team happy or unfired enough to have people that know how to use it and optimize a game and are able to take some risks with game design. It’s all either heavily monetized multiplayer dreck or incremental QoL features in ever larger and shallower sandboxes in one of few large franchise flavors. There’s not that much to discuss, woo bamboo cutting tech, a new coat of paint and some gimmicks. People claiming it’s failing because it’s either woke or culture appropriating are ascribing cultural import to a happy meal.
