- Comment on Name a game that you found SO FUN, but no one talks about it anymore. 10 hours ago:
Whacked! It was a third person party combat game for original xbox, my brother and I played it SO MUCH growing up. We still sometimes play and have fun, but anyone else that tries to play with us hates it
- Comment on Anyone else disappointed by Steam's current Next Fest? 2 days ago:
That’s always how it is at the start, there’s no real sorting the first few days. By Thursday and Friday the slop will start to fall off
- Comment on Battlefield 6 releases today and it will not be playable on any Linux / SteamOS system 1 week ago:
The beta for this was excellent for players that got into the series at 3 or 4. Unfortunately EA got bought by some shady private equity so I will not be supporting it

Dang that’s sad, that first game was really special
- Comment on More than 60% of US game players only buy two games or fewer per year, survey finds | VGC 1 week ago:
You’re right! The guy that published the info had a funny disclaimer:
Pro-tip, before replying, know that even seeing this post likely puts you into that hyper enthusiast bucket, so the actions of you and your immediate cohort likely do not match those of the general gaming audience.

Oooh, I remember seeing that somewhere in the first game!

What is coop like? I didn’t know it was a feature, I’m watching my partner play and it looks fun!

A majority! Some players buy a few but it’s mostly supported by whales that buy everything

This isn’t surprising to me, with so many free to play games and the fact that this survey included mobile gamers

Ah I looked it up, Don’t Starve’s local coop is only on consoles. For some reason.
Cult of the Lamb isn’t though! Might have to pick it up, thank you!

Is that split screen? I was looking to play Don’t Starve Together with my partner but Don’t Starve didn’t say it was local, only online or LAN

Is it still mostly melee combat? Games with good melee are tough to come by, and I remember the first being pretty good with all the running and jumping!

20 hours of manually placed footsteps later, Baby Steps is complete! Probably one of my favorite games this year, the story was thin but the writing was hilarious and kept me climbing to reach the next cutscene. The credits screen shows a dotted line of your path as you went and, since I played with my partner, we were constantly laughing as the dot rolled down hills and reminded us of our tumbles. If you have patience and are okay with occasional immature humor it’s worth a play.
I also finished Sniper Elite V2, it was good but showed its age. The new games were still too expensive so I got the Zombie Army Trilogy for $5 as the autumn sale ended and have been having fun kicking skeletons apart

Oooh, Teardown and Red Faction have a bit more physics involved but I see the comparison

When did Rust add that? Back when I played it was essentially Ark/Fortnite building

The next step is the AI generated avatar interacting with the product in the ad 🤢 so you and your clanker can chat about how much you each love your newly purchased [insert product here]

Eternal was fun, I only got to it a few months ago!
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 28th 2 weeks ago:
I actually didn’t know that until a few days ago, I’m playing the original! They definitely went the right route in the newer games with the sandbox, but I’m still having fun with the linear levels
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 28th 2 weeks ago:
Wow, congrats on beating Silksong! I’ve been watching my partner play and am afraid of the bosses, not sure how far I’ll get in it.
I’m slowly working through Baby Steps and having a blast with every tumble. It’s hard at first but after a handful of hours I’ve got a rhythm to scramble up most inclines. I find the navigation fun in the same way I like Snowrunner’s exploration, difficult terrain that can be learned and quickly traversed.
I’m also finishing Sniper Elite V2 because I never completed it and I didn’t want to buy the new Resistance game.
- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 3 weeks ago:
Its origin is actually related to the “30 year old boomer” meme. Etymology is fun!
- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 3 weeks ago:
It’s also used because things tend to go boom in the games
- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 3 weeks ago:
Why? It’s a genre at this point

I haven’t played either of them, I don’t have the patience for chess. Good luck though!
