- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
If it is the single player and story that interests you then just stick to GTA 4. In my opinion the story in 5 is boring as fuck and very quickly falls into a loop that is just mind numbingly dull.
- Comment on Sonic Game Recomendation? 2 weeks ago:
This will be controversial as as far as I am aware it isn’t held in that high regard but in my opinion the best Sonic game made is Sonic Spinball.
It is an odd mix of things, there are a few sections where you need to do some very simple platforming but other than that it is basically a pinball game where you can influence the direction the ball (sonic) is travelling in a very small way. You need to hit certain objectives on each level to acquire chaos emeralds that then open up a boss room. I tend to return to it and complete a play through each year!
As a Sonic adjacent game I also always liked Doctor Robotniks Mean Bean Machine which is a match 3 type puzzle game where setting up combos of colours will trigger blocks to drop on an opponent and you have to survive whilst trying to push their game to the ceiling. Nothing ground breaking but I always enjoyed it.
Aside from that all of the original 2D platformers are decent and Sonic R on the Saturn was alright at the time, although not sure how it has held up over time.
All of the 3D offerings I have tried have been utter shite imo
- Comment on Sonic turns 35 today—what does this franchise mean to you? 2 weeks ago:
Sonic was my first ever video game at Christmas when I was around 4 or 5 and I loved that shit. Loved all of the sonic games on the mega drive and have always thought Mario is fucking dog shit in comparison.
Then the Saturn came along and the only sonic game really worth playing was sonic R seen as the 3D sonic we were promised only materialised as that sort of tech demo that came with Sonic Jam.
After that it was steady downhill for me. I think Adventure 1 and 2 are massively over rated and I never really enjoyed them except for having a Chao on my VMU.
I was still a sonic fan though and ended up getting a sonic half sleeve tattoo for whatever reason.
As time goes on I have realised that every new sonic game that comes out is just not interesting to me. I really liked the demo of 06 and thought it was going to be great but then they had the were hedgehog things that was utter dog shit and ruined the whole thing for me. I have now moved on and don’t really have any interest in anything they produce with sonic in but it was still my first ever video game.
Fast forward to now and I wouldn’t even try a new sonic game and just presume it’ll be crap. I’m blacking out and covering up that old tattoo and Mario is still over rated trash.

Thanks so much for the additional feedback. I did get the game downloaded last night but havent had a chance to actually boot it up and play yet.
I think I’m going to return and give it another go. I hope to enjoy the gameplay as I loved the customisation part last time. Any game that has Work Equip 01’s automatically gains points for me xD
- Comment on Need for Speed: Most Wanted – The game that got me into racing 1 month ago:
Oh really? That is good to know and to be fair I was so pissed off after anxiously waiting for the release and then it being pushed back a few months to improve some stuff the disappointment hit me hard and I didnt look for any updates out of spite.
The only thing I’m glad of is that I tried out a pirate copy before dropping money as I just don’t trust game companies these days and my cautiousness was proved right again.
I might look for an updated repack this evening to try and give it a go with a newer version but I would appreciate an opinion too if you fancy playing some as I may not get time.
Thanks for the response!

Have they improved the handling model in updates for JDM?
I played the demo over a year before release and was super excited for the full release as it handled somewhat like NFS: Underground 2 era which i was OK with.
Full release came around and I tried it out but something was just off and the handling model felt janky and horrible to me. Has it improved over time? I really want to play it to mod out some sweet JDM rides but just couldn’t stick with it that first try as it was just not fun to play.

- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 5 months ago:
That is because Vans are trash, they aren’t skateboard shoes they are fashion shoes that are marketed as skateboard shoes.
If you buy some proper shoes designed for skating they should last a bit better. I presume if you are riding brakeless then you mostly have issues with the soles, like I do braking when skating.
I have had good luck with Osiris, Es and Globe in the last few years but at the end of the day applying such aggressive friction you are always gonna burn through shoes fast than you would by just walking.
My average is around a year before I start braking with skin.

It says “Early access play starts 4 days early on May 15”, implying the release date is 19th May.
- Comment on ARC Raiders purposefully puts jerks in the same lobby as each other 6 months ago:
Solo or in a squad? Playing solo I have probably been shot at maybe 20 times in 70 hours of play and have never experienced an extraction camper.
When in a squad that is very different as pretty much everyone we have met has shot at us straight away but we have still met with very few extraction campers.
Obviously everyone has different experiences in games, that is inevitable, but playing solo for me has been mostly chill as fuck. Especially coming from fucking Tarkov.
- Comment on The Making of Guild Wars: Celebrating 25 Years of ArenaNet 6 months ago:
Absolutely, I do agree in both respects, just for me personally I wanted more of the same from the second game where as it turned out to be a very different game.
I don’t think it is a bad game or anything, it just isn’t what I wanted at the time and since then I have just never been able to get into it. Which is a shame.
- Comment on The Making of Guild Wars: Celebrating 25 Years of ArenaNet 6 months ago:
Thanks for posting, this was interesting to watch. I have been back to visit Guild Wars 1 in this last week and it was so good to revisit some old places from my memories as well as trying to explain to my non gaming girlfriend how some of my characters are 20 years old now.
No game will ever be what Guild Wars is to me and although I know in this community it may be an unpopular opinion Guild Wars 2 was one of the most disappointing games releases for me after the first game. Ultimately though I appreciate the ethos and the passion all these people have for the games and the world they created and that they have kept the first game running consistently still without charging any additional money is a credit to them and their vision for the community and the game and world as a whole.
Much respect to arena net, they are a gem in this world of shitty, vapid games companies we live in now!

You and me both and the very tiny amount of phones available right now with keyboards are just not that great. Blackberry still made the best phones ever IMO, the KeyTwo was fucking awesome.

Well either way, good luck, once you have a community going I’ll be subscribed and contribute where I can. The more safe spaces with good reliable information that promote harm reduction, the better in my opinion.
- Comment on Request to mod !drugs@lemmy.world 7 months ago:
It isn’t like the community is active, make a drugs community on a different instance and build it up from there. Too many communities reside on .world as it is and any efforts to make the fediverse less centralised only benefit us as a whole IMO.
On top of that a subject like drugs is more likely to be removed or censored by .world Adkins in the future in the same way that they did with piracy in the past.
There are regular fedigrow posts I see on /all so get yourself on a better more sane instance and grow a community there, posting on the fedigrow posts to gain some visibility. I will happily join in, I believe there are also drugs communities on .ml you might wanna check out :)

I don’t blame them for feeling that way. If I see anyone using that shitty flag on their house, their shirt, their car, anywhere, I automatically presume they are a close minded racist cunt.
- Comment on the future is now 7 months ago:
Fair enough but when it is just reposting others posts so that everything is doubled up on all is it really adding anything of value.
I get that they are reposting pretty much everything they see on .ml presumably for people who have that instance blocked but I question how beneficial that really is.
Either way I agree with your original anti AI sentiment :)

That is a more accurate description, class isn’t really anything to do with it, it is more about the behaviour, attitude and style.
