- Comment on Xbox invests big into indies, signs Game Pass deals with over 50 studios 5 days ago:
Whose employees then go and make new companies, marketing its first game as “by the makers of X” and MS is left holding IP of dubious worth and their dick in their hands.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 1 week ago:
The big problem is how to make it fun for those who are not spave nerds. They are making a game for hundreds of thousands of players with a budget of a game for tens of millions. They are getting funded for a feline-shaped bag, once it’s out chances are it’ll be so aggressive, mangy and moody no one will want to play with it. Aiming at a reticle projecting where the enemy will be when the shots land for 30 hours with occassional explanations by hollywood b-listers is not everyone’s cup of space tea.
- Comment on Dying Light continues celebrating its 10th anniversary with a big graphical facelift, but don't you dare call it a remaster 2 weeks ago:
Let’s just throw higher res textures at every 3D game that works good on Steam Deck until it’s unplayable. Days Gone used to be locked 48FPS for me and it’s pretty fucked these days and it looks a tiny bit better to a tiny bit worse depending on how dark you tolerate your night.
Please note Techland, I’ll just change my review to negative and uninstall your game forever if it works any worse or sparks any less joy than the version you haven’t fucked.

- Comment on Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it's pretty huge 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t give Microsoft any money if they were selling last drops of oxygen on Earth, not fucking video games

Unemployee in a local second-hand shop
You should have asked an employee instead.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 1 month ago:
By all means, every increase in price is welcome, it’ll be that much less of a temptation. How are Concord and Fairgames doing?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
This ia worthless, even if it was an official promise I’d never trust EA. Also, I fully expect a kernel-level anticheat. We’ll see after it’s out for a few years, I’m not dumb enough to buy a game that’s not 75% off.
- Comment on Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit 1 month ago:
Loved Horizon, so I clicked on an open world gameplay trailer and it’s just survivalslop, fiddling with some shit-producing hovels to get them upgraded to shit+1-producing hovels and hitting trees until they’re planks.
- 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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. 2 months 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 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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) 2 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago:
That’s good news, I might give this a chance.
- Comment on Super Meat Boy 3D: 15 Minutes of Gameplay 3 months 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 3 months ago:
this handful of uncooked milled oats was a fantastic palate cleanser after half a kilo of shit
- Comment on Deathloop is free to claim on Epic Games 3 months ago:
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 3 months 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 3 months 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. 3 months 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
