So were the original games that offered a challenge. Gosh. I wonder why the first three gens are still looked upon as the best versions of the game. It’s a mystery.

You know what isn’t a mystery? Why morons continue to make excuses for billion dollar companies.


Also seeing more and more emulation handhelds out there, like MagicX with the Neo 40 and One35. These are definitely courting those interested in vertical play



Nailed it, this is an ad for their company, that’s all the poll is, and of course it backs up the purpose of the company, almost like they set out from the beginning to create a poll with the results they wanted. Once they did that, they fired up their email (or hired a PR company) and spammed every news outlet they could to get them to cover. Steamdeckhq was dumb enough to take the bait, literally advertising this company for free, and OP continued that idiocy by posting here.


Every once in a while, I get matched with competent players in Rocket League, and something magical happens that makes me grind. Feels rarer and rarer these days, but it still happens, which is why I still play.




And they don’t want to do anything for themselves. It’s why AI is gaining ground, everyone is too lazy to do anything for themselves, and that includes finding good games and hacking their own roms.



Uh, what does BL4 have to do with anything? You said it’s “not true” the game has issues compiling shaders, the video I linked that you admit showcases blatant stuttering issues proves it does.


I didn’t say there aren’t any good games. I said I wish there were too many

Are there too many quirky games like Jumping Flash and Katamari. Nope

Are there too many games like Gran Tourismo that aren’t pay to win slop. Nope, and that sadly includes Gran Tourismo. As a matter of fact there are hardly any quality racing games at all

Are there too many games like Dead or Alive/Soulcalibur? Big ol nope

Are there too many games like the OG Jak and Daxter? Nope

Are there too many games like Metal Gear Solid? Hard no

Are there too many games like Advance Wars? Nope

Are there too many games like MDK? No no and no

Are there too many games like Fallout 3? No

Are there too many games like Portal? No

Are there too many games like Mass Effect? Nope

Are there too many games like Wow? Nope, just a tiny selection of clones

Are there too many games like Final Fantasy with turn-based combat? Nope, not even Final Fantasy, and the majority of good turn-based JRPGs are remakes

I could easily go on. However, the point is made.

So, as I was saying, I wish there were too many good games. Sadly, the majority is middle-of-the-road indies recycling and combining played-out genres, and AAA horseshit. And that’s why they aren’t selling or gaining traction; people don’t want them. That isn’t a problem of too many games; it’s an industry problem of pushing out too much junk. If they wanna make more sales, they should get back to making good games that aren’t a pale imitation of better games from decades past.



Lol, telling you can’t refute any of that, huh. Respected journalist indeed. Funny how you immediately jump to silly accusations when someone says something you don’t like. Pot meet kettle, try taking your own advice bucko :)


Track record, lol. You mean like sitting on a bunch of abuse stories, allowing more people to get abused by Blizzard’s higher-ups so he could publish and push his book? Or do you mean his support of grifter Sweet Baby Inc? Or do you mean his blatant racism, shaming a small dev team for having the same skin color? Or do you mean his soyboy aversion to titties as he shat all over the masterpiece Dragon’s Crown? Or do you mean his participation in the private Gamejournopros mailing list, where he and his colleagues colluded and schemed against gamers?

The dude is a joke, straight up, a known liar and utter piece of shit fearmongering for clicks.


Mexico bored the shit out of me. Looking forward to Japan.


Lol, try to figure out which Gen the controllers are. Microsoft is run by morons



I wish there were too many good games. There aren’t, but there is certainly too much slop. Maybe stop making slop with hundred-man teams? Nah, it’s the market that’s the problem.

Schreier still proving he’s a moron who hates games and gamers.


It’s a conundrum, as being free-to-play is why the silly fanservice exists, T&A sells. But should China move past this shit with premium releases, they could end up buckling to the pressure to appeal to the modern audience and tone things down like everyone else, thus destroying what makes their designs so appealing in the first place.



The best part is that people can’t even decide what the parent term roguelike even means. It’s a source of constant arguments what a true roguelike is, resulting in terms like roguelite. Now, everyone is adding even more terms to the original, and at a certain point, all these words kinda lose their meaning as they get further watered down. But hey, at the end of the day, you and everyone else immediately knew what roguevania was implying, so it did its job I guess.



Definitely a great idea. Give a little back to the fans, get a spike in support



I've tested the game on PC and mobile. I could not get a controller working on PC, so you'll have to rely on keyboard inputs. However, there are touch controls if you play in a mobile browser, which means you can play on your phone any time you want, since the game is free.

As long as the front isn’t glossy I’m down.


Anyone wanna buy a 3D TV? Or maybe we can play an Augmented Reality game. I know, let’s trade some NFTs. Nah, clearly VR is the ticket.

Maybe somebody should let meta know VR is yesterday’s news, AI is the hot new scam nobody asked for and nobody wants.


I really miss when we used to regularly get off-the-wall Japanese games like this. With AAA collapsing in on itself, hopefully we see a return of smaller more niche games that take a chance on goofy fun.


Yep, I got one a couple years back to compliment my PC. Many of the games you can buy for PC and Xbox at one price, with cloud saves so you can bounce from the workstation to the TV. I don’t buy many, but the few I picked up, it’s nice I can leave the PC after work and relax in the living room with a huge TV for some gaming. Sure, I also have a big 165hz monitor for my PC, but sometimes you get sick of sitting in front of a computer, especially if you work from home.


I played the ever-living shit out of Future on the OG Xbox; those were the days for sure.



I really like Ayaneo's build quality, so it should be interesting to see how the Pocket AIR Mini will turn out.

Yeah I’m digging the look. I was getting a bit of a Bonk vibe from it, looks like something that belongs on the TG16.






Exactly, yeah, worth checking the demo in the hopes this is more like All-Stars. Fingers crossed



Adding a game that requires another launcher in Steam opens that launcher when opening a game added using add to library.


So it’s a UI that launches games, what some would call a launcher, and when you launch games from other launchers, those launchers will launch from this launcher. Sounds like semantics to me.


So the only place it was ever for sale was PC? Well, that does change things then.


But the game is in early access. You’re telling me the game was magically feature-complete on consoles before hitting 1.0? So you are admitting they lied about the condition of the console versions before they were complete, since it is very much on the same version number as the early access PC version. Coolcool, they are fraudsters who released the exact same early access game on consoles as they did on PC, but didn’t alert anyone to that fact on those console stores. Thanks for confirming.


Lol, I don’t need launchers for my launchers. Gimme a call when I can actually play all of my Xbox games on PC.


If Randy had the ability to turn up with results, he wouldn’t be known as a douchebag who says incredibly stupid things while insulting his customers. This isn’t his first sperg out because people pointed out his incompetence, it won’t be his last.

Anyone catch that Notch told the idiot to “man up,” lol.


Exactly my point. The game is in early access, the console versions weren’t somehow magically finished while the PC version isn’t. Which means it was being sold feature incomplete on consoles without notice.

Literally, your post says 1.0 coming to consoles. They were selling an incomplete game on consoles and didn’t tell anyone on those stores. That’s fraud.

So as I was saying, I find it surprising a company run by ex journalists are keen to sell their game fraudulently. And this is their what, their fifth game, yet they needed to sell this one unfinished? What are these people doing with their money that they can’t fund their own games to completion at this point, and why are they committing open fraud on console stores?


So, how is the game finished for consoles, if it was sold before the game was finished? Just because they didn’t call the console releases EA doesn’t mean the game was done. I saw no such warnings that the game wasn’t complete on any console store. How is that upfront?



Kinda crazy up to this point it wasn’t the finished release. Why were they selling it on consoles like Switch if it was still in testing?

For game journalists turned devs, you’d think they’d know better than to sell unfinished games. Did they need money this bad, did the first one not earn enough to pay for the sequel to be made? I got a bunch of questions why Supergiant is using early access. At a certain point you should put your big boy pants on and finish a product before selling it.


Has anyone noticed all the train games hitting Steam lately? Here's one that looks pretty badass, Denshattack!, with some very striking graphics. Anyone else hyped for this? Looks like the perfect game for perfecting runs.

Train games are all the rage lately, and today's release for TROLEU is a standout as a goofy job sim.

Just one more thing you can thank Google for. Titles wouldn’t be made like this if Google didn’t reward them with traffic.
