I honestly didn’t play any non-RPGs on the PC until a couple of years ago.

I finally tried Commander Keen after it was compared to Nintendo Super Mario Bros 3.

It did not age like Super Mario Bros 3. At all.


But this one really stings.

“Half baked skills and items for the existing classes have never been fixed, tooltips LITERALLY LIE TO YOU in some cases”,

Text is the easiest thing to fix in a game. And that just reeks of shotty work, especially in a MMO.


It depends. But that number of good f2P games is small.

I get pleasantly surprised by many f2P games that I wish would just become single player games. Wizardry Variant Daphne comes to mind. You can literally play nonstop for like 100 hours and not even realize there’s a store. (Source: me)



Didnt the pedo hunter guy prepare to go to war against Robloxs?

Was expecting a documentary on a streaming network


You aren’t kidding. I played Kingdom Come Deliverance last year, when I learned about the second one. Was like wow.

Then read how they originally were courting the anti-woke crowd. Who later turned on them because the sequel has “woke” material.

Its great to not be a part of those GAMERS.


Assume all of the big ones.

Theres been a lot of positive GTA6 posts across a bunch of the internet, like how they’re “releasing it when theyre ready”.

Which is funny because a few days ago, they fired 30+ people who tried to unionize.


Elden Ring DLC for me.

At least the main game, the world was kind of flat.

The land of Shadow’s map was kind of difficult to read. There was too many layers. Some things were underground. Some were above ground.

If the world wasn’t connected but broken by portals or something, it would have been fine. But condensed like that made it feel too big and I overwhelming.


This is it.

GTA 5 was boring when it came to exploring, much of it was pretty empty unless there was a mission. Elder Scrolls Arena was just random generated repeated stuff - miles of it. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was a lot of copy and paste.



I’m playing the hell out of Escape from Duckov.

All the fun of a extraction shooter, only single player.


Going on two decades now.

Me with Minecraft.

Me with MMOs.

Me with Dota/LoL and whatever this genre is called.

Me with DayZ/etc survival shooters.

Me with whatever chess auto battlere are.


Granted, games after the popularity winds down and they incorporate it into game genres I do like are neat. I freaking love V Rising.


What did you think of the Oblivion remastered?

Starfield looked pretty good. But for some reason, Oblivion in Unreal 5 looked incredible. I could be drinking the Kool aid.


Same!

Starfield crashed for me maybe five times in 150 hours. And I remember excitedly telling somebody and they gave me a disgusted look.


I loved Hero’s Hour, mostly because of it was built using Game Maker Studio, that scrappy drag and drop game making tool.


Haha I absolutely bought ZoE1 to get the mgs2 demo.

I then forced myself to play ZoE.

I remember telling everyone I liked it. But at my age, I can’t remember if I actually did.



even then it will still crash 4 times in the span of one day.

I feel stupid. This was always my experience even on Day 1 release date. That’s been my Bethesda experience since forever! FO4, New Vegas, Skyrim.

You’re telling me people play these games without it crashing every 1-3 hours?

Ive just accepted it as a fact of life.


Already have.

Unfortunately, will the EA Sports fans and Battlefield fans do the same?


The buyers are committing $36 billion of their own equity (briefly and inexpertly, "equity" is the value of your assets after you deduct anything you owe), including the value of the PIF's existing investments in EA. They're making up the rest of the total thanks to a $20 billion loan from JPMorgan Chase Bank. How will they manage that massive debt? According to the Financial Times, who cite unnamed insiders, they're gambling on the deployment of generative AI tools as a gigantic cost-saving measure. "The investors are betting that AI-based cost cuts will significantly boost EA's profits in the coming years, people involved in the transaction told the Financial Times," the paper wrote (paywall) in their own coverage of the story. The FT elsewhere commented that the acquisition "is a huge bet that artificial intelligence can significantly cut EA's operating costs, allowing the equity consortium to manage a large debt load on a company that historically carried limited net debt."

Oh boy I’m glad you said that because I didn’t want to sound like an idiot. I’m 40yo and I have no idea who the VU are, nor does comparing them to the Beatles make me excited to look them up.


This is going to sound weird but I never actually get Steam emails, outside of receipts. Maybe I disabled them years ago. And I wishlist/follow hundreds of games.

Uncertain if I’m a unique edge case who hates email clutter or not.


According to videogame patent lawyer Kirk Sigmon, the USPTO granting Nintendo these latest patents isn't just a moment of questionable legal theory. It's an indictment of American patent law. "Broadly, I don't disagree with the many online complaints about these Nintendo patents," said Sigmon, whose opinions do not represent those of his firm and clients. "They have been an embarrassing failure of the US patent system."

I stopped for years so imagine my surprise when I was seeing their games for free/extremely discounted (like $2-4) on Steam.

Still didn’t buy them.

Also Ubisoft.
