- Comment on Hands-On: Avowed feels like Obsidian’s take on Elder Scrolls and we can’t wait to play more [VGC] 4 weeks ago:
No kidding. From the article,
So far, it’s a pretty looking game. The trouble is finding things to do in it. That was the end of the quest. All setup, no punchline. There was no one to thank me. All I had was a little more loot. Where’s my impact on the world?
If these quotes ring true in the final game, that’s a hard pass. I want RPGs, action-oriented or not, to allow me to play a role. A million games can make fantasy look pretty, Obsidian needs to make it interesting.

fantasy
- Comment on Planet Coaster 2 | Launch Trailer 1 month ago:
Absolutely. I haven’t been following this game and I’d be thrilled if it was solid at launch, but we gotta keep CS:2 in mind.

A good man.

I should play Skyrim again.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus (2024) - What did you think? [Spoilers] 4 months ago:
Light references can be fun but this movie was nearly fourth-wall breaking with how hard they were winking at the audience. When the character itself doesn’t even have a reason or know why they’re saying the line, just because it’s a reference, it begins to feel egregious and kinda icky. Tone helps, stuff like Deadpool can get away with it obviously but I have a hard time giving this one a pass.

The issues sound patchable to a layman like myself. Embrace patient gaming and enjoy in a month or so.
- Comment on Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki - multiple, "smaller" games may be the "next stage" 4 months ago:
True other games have had that, but it really wasn’t a goal for Elden Ring and I don’t think it really hinders it. The immersion into a real world was clearly a tentpole design decision for Rockstar in RDR2, but not Fromsoft. Which is fine for you to miss in Elden Ring, I just think we gotta manage expectations sometimes where not every game can have every thing.

They’re not good actors.
- Comment on I'm watching due date 2010 for the first time, Jamie Foxx refers to galiafanakis as "debarge", does anyone know why? The musical group? is it his perm? 5 months ago:
It’s definitely the perm thing lol. I remember enjoying this movie for what it is.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - Gameplay Overview Trailer 5 months ago:
I’m glad they’re showing more extended sections of gameplay. I was worried after the last few trailers featured mainly quick cuts between cutscenes and seemingly canned animations. This is shaping up to be promising despite the somewhat worrisome delays.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Stardew Valley 5 months ago:
I just felt like I ran out of things to do and there was no point to keep playing.
To each their own of course, but it sounds like you basically just “beat” the game, in the same way someone beats Animal Crossing. You just stop playing eventually. I don’t see that as a negative if you enjoyed that time.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Stardew Valley 5 months ago:
It’s an incredible game, a love letter to all the best aspects of the Harvest Moon series. My only real gripe is the NPC characters can feel a little stale and robotic after a while, but during a first playthrough they are all full of life.
- Comment on Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Director's Cuts Are Coming This Summer 6 months ago:
Unfortunately, not really. If it was, it could have some schlocky entertainment value. As it is, it just doesn’t respect the audience’s time or intelligence.
- Comment on Yooka-Replaylee! | Reveal Trailer 6 months ago:
Maybe! I don’t think there’s a right answer until hindsight shows us how the game does. I can also imagine it has a lot to do with what the folks holding the money think will sell better, a sequel to a poorly received game, or a (potentially) lower risk remake?
- Comment on Dragon Age 4's New Name Is 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard,' First Gameplay Look Next Week 6 months ago:
The Bioware we knew and loved has been gone a long time. DA2 was hardly Bioware, let alone Inquisition.
- Comment on Yooka-Replaylee! | Reveal Trailer 6 months ago:
To me it’s kinda the perfect game to remake (hopefully it IS remade and not just rereleased) because it had a lot of potential that it just did not live up to. A graphics and content pack would not improve the game much at all, because the let down was the gameplay and mechanics. If they can re-tool that, they may have a solid game here.

Congrats to Billy Basso and to Bigmode for the positive reviews! Always good to see a new IP, studio, and even publisher come out the gate strong.

You’re right I forgot! I only remembered the headstone in the hunters dream just being there.

Closer to Bloodborne’s Amygdala, though it doesn’t take you to the DLC it does transport you somewhere else. But hey ER, BB, same difference.

They know and they don’t care. In fact, that’s the point.
- Comment on [Poster] Transformers One 8 months ago:
I don’t blame the movie for sexist crap existing in the past, I blame the movie for continuing to perpetuate it in today’s world. They can redesign her however they want (unless Hasbro(?) restricts them.) They’re already re-interpreting the design into this “style” so make the giant transforming robot not conform to outdated stereotypical concepts lol.
- Comment on Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Diablo IV, The Quarry, Ark: Survival Ascended, and More 8 months ago:
I think it’s just a matter of trends and design theory. For a long time you couldn’t escape the orange/blue combo like in the Battlefield series artwork. Plus I don’t think all these titles really released at the “same” time.
- Comment on October 13 - 15, 2023 - Weekend Box Office (Estimates) 1 year ago:
It’s a new IP but all the reviews I saw, from sci-fi fans and otherwise, emphasized how unoriginal and generic the plot points were. All style and no substance, and I think moviegoers and especially fans of the genre are more than a little hungry for substance in their sci-fi.
- Comment on A24 Expands Strategy From Arthouse Gems to More Commercial Films 1 year ago:
Of course, arthouse does not automatically equal good. They’re good movies because they’re good ideas from people with a vision, and A24 gave these people funding and a platform for their vision, (seemingly) without asking them to make compromises for the sake of profit. This new strategy could take that away.
People will always find ways to make their arthouse movies. The difference is A24 made them easy to find and arguably popular.

I wouldn’t say people don’t want to watch that, just that that’s not what these shows were about. Other successful shows deal with that very topic.
