Sektori, it’s the best game I’ve played in a long time.


“cinematic announcement”

Wow, it’s fucking nothing


It saddens me that Sektori came out too late to be on these lists, because they are effective marketing for indies and it’s one of the finest games ever made. It works flawlessly, is Linux friendly and is polished to a shine. It’s very opinionated design, but the opinions are in my opinion all correct and the overall game is a wonderful sequel to Geometry Wars. The only thing it’s missing right now is 2-player (at least) coop.



That’s another problem, even if we disregard optimizations, AAA games from 2015. look better than modern upscaled stuff, Unreal Engine seems to be easy enough to use nowadays that big vertically-integrated slop publishers replaced seasoned developers with the cheapest of zoomers.






It’s a four hour or so game for 30€. I’ll get Psychonauts 2 first at 75% off, call me in three years about this one.


AC is so moldy Ubisoft could only get me excited with a nice big Grow Home / Up sequel with no microtransactions, no ingame shop and everything unlockable through playing.


I would never give Microsoft money for their shitty subscription, so it is kind of fun for me.


Valve does nothing

It’s not Valve’s job to provide a liberal education and loving community for the young’uns, the only thing Valve can do is censor discussions and ban people for what they are saying. Like tiktok is doing with “Israel is controlling the U.S. through AIPAC”.


I will be playing Silksong until the winter sale, but I can recommend this for the sale price that they’re asking (0.75€ at the moment).


Whose employees then go and form a new company, marketing its first game as “by the makers of X” and MS is left holding IP of dubious worth and their dick in their hands.


The big problem is how to make it fun for those who are not space nerds. They are making a game for hundreds of thousands of players with a budget of a game for tens of millions. They are getting funded for a feline-shaped bag, once it’s out chances are it’ll be so aggressive, mangy and moody no one will want to play with it. Aiming at a reticle projecting where the enemy will be when the shots land for 30 hours with occassional explanations by hollywood b-listers is not everyone’s cup of space tea.


Let’s just throw higher res textures at every 3D game that works good on Steam Deck until it’s unplayable. Days Gone used to be locked 48FPS for me and it’s pretty fucked these days and it looks a tiny bit better to a tiny bit worse depending on how dark you tolerate your night.

Please note Techland, I’ll just change my review to negative and uninstall your game forever if it works any worse or sparks any less joy than the version you haven’t fucked.

I wouldn’t give Microsoft any money if they were selling last molecules of oxygen on Earth, not fucking video games



Of the two games mentioned, one has kernel-level anticheat, the other is “you guys don’t have phones?” The entire industry can go fuck itself.


It’s alright, I have a confession too, I never meant to buy anything but the complete version patched for two years and 75% off


The best possible outcome, I’m very happy to see Sony tripping over their shoelaces. Maybe games need to cost more? Surely 90$ always-online console exclusives with day one DLCs and season passes, with gacha rewards and cosmetics that can be rejiggered into stat-boosting are the answer if they can also be made tepidely inoffensive with a story cobbled exclusively from tvtropes archetypes.


By all means, every increase in price is welcome, it’ll be that much less of a temptation. How are Concord and Fairgames doing?


This ia worthless, even if it was an official promise I’d never trust EA. Also, I fully expect a kernel-level anticheat. We’ll see after it’s out for a few years, I’m not dumb enough to buy a game that’s not 75% off.


Loved Horizon, so I clicked on an open world gameplay trailer and it’s just survivalslop, fiddling with some shit-producing hovels to get them upgraded to shit+1-producing hovels and hitting trees until they’re planks.


Just consider what you’re up against - the first one was 7.49€ (the lowest I’ve seen) and I haven’t bought it yet simply because I have too many games to play for years now. I certainly won’t pay more than 10€ for the original or the sequel and I’d never pay MS for their shitty subscription.


The only good is Mass Effect 1, the second one was consolized safe cookie-cutter third person gameplay with the stupidest game finale of all time. Haven’t touched the third after that shit.


the bulk of the negative reaction to it had to do with bugs and/or missing content on launch

I played it after it was nominally fixed, but the story is complete shit and the gameplay is cookie-cutter third person sfslop


Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs.

Wish for your lack of discernment, I’d have so many good-to-me games to play.


The franchise is fucked, Andromeda didn’t interest many people anymore after ME3 was so shit, but it was dead to me after they ruined the story with a giant space skeleton bossfight at the end of ME2.


The reason might be a slippery slope or whatever, but there’s mountains of disgusting visual novel incest fantasy shit, so much that I had to filter out all sexual content from Steam even though I might enjoy occasional Sex With the Devil or some Genital Jousting.


Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.

Just make people sign one of those “I understand there’s no guarantees this’ll work or won’t rape me” when they download the private server software, you fucking corporate snakes.


Nice. For anyone wondering, it’s openbeta x64 and the new options like refresh and aspect ratio are under controls for some reasom


I’m interested but will wait up to two years after release for it to be 15€ to get excited


whilst the game is not officially supported on the Steam Deck, it runs fine on it, as it has a native Linux port, although I had to move to PC for that Metropolis level as it was starting to lag

You mean Windows, a PC is actually what runs Linux in this case. Just wanted to say Linux port usually has worse performance than DirectX ran through Proton, it makes more sense running a Windows version on Linux than the native version.



Yeah, I stand by it, ever noticed how effectivness of weapons and general strategy changes when the new wARbOnD drops? They are fiddling with the knobs to make people pay more and there’s way too many opportunities to spend money. And an ingame currency they control how fast you acquire. It’s not as bad as some other games, but I don’t play those.



Remedy, you could have sold to Microsoft if you’re going to make their mistakes anyway. Control is one of my favorite games ever, but its assets are not all that, especially once you remove the central third-person figure. If I wanted to play a live service game, I’d play Deep Rock Galactic (much better gameplay, deformable terrain, no-FOMO seasons) or Helldivers 2 (shit monetization but it’s got mortar turrets that flong shit in a parabolic arc that never gets old). Nota bene: when I see shit like “watch three hours of Twitch to get this skin”, I automatically despise your game. I hope you haven’t overextended and this turd is really cobbled together quickly from textures and models you had lying around.
