Cool, they titled it appropriately.

Metroid: Beyond my interest.


Ah. Then you’re well versed already. I have played through it enough times at this point that I actively and purposefully grind the materials I need well ahead of time, though I don’t think I’ve ever 100%'d the game. I think the worst was getting the death prevention accessories for my group so I could take on the angel of death without getting one shot. But I have spent an exorbitant amount of time leveling off loopers near their landmark.


Skies can certainly be slow. Though if you feel like grinding levels you can do that after yafutoma and pretty much one turn the normal fights and makes the ship battles much smoother.


It’s been in development for so long that Imma give it roughly the same amount of time before I purchase it. They’ll have everything sorted by then.


It would be incredible if somehow every streamer and tuber just stopped broadcasting anything Nintendo, which seems to be something Nintendo wants. I wonder how much of a hit they’d take without those content creators.



In no particular order or genre:

  • Rise of the Triad 2013
  • Bullets per Minute
  • Anything made by PixelJunk (currently enjoying Eden and Shooter soundtracks)
  • Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
  • Far too many games on the Dreamcast to remember them all, but I will specifically call out RezsLevel 5 Adam Freeland - Fear is the Mindkiller
  • Distance
  • DJ Max

Ah yes, young men. That notoriously healthcare obsesses group of individuals that do all they can to drain the system of all its funding. That’s the problem.

It’s a shame people actually fall for blatant lies like this.




ok… why?

Edited: Almost none of the things mentioned are new for either the game or how Capcom in general has pretty much always operated.

The one plus side of this whole thing is that I was made aware I needed to clear my shader cache for the game so it runs better, and after checking in game it certainly does.


They don’t have any dlc lined up yet so not being to sell you empty promises on top of a normal game price is really tugging at Randy’s purse strings.

/s


Amazingly… this bond is almost exclusively going to be used on bug planets… since the weapons are melee focused and going melee vs bots or squids is not a great idea.


Well those look completely impractical and incredibly fun.


I should probably go finish it.


It feels like it’s always been this way. The amount of ‘doom clones’ from the way back times are not to be forgotten.


Now they’re made with marketable ‘passion’, ‘dedication’, and a team with ‘a family atmosphere’. My personal favorite ‘respect for the lore and previous games in the series’ definitely never has made a triple A game worse for wear.

Disingenuous buzzwords with no objective meaning behind them are my favorite things to hear in a game. It tells me to steer clear as far away as I possibly can. Which is a shame because I’d like to be excited about vampire: the masquerade 2.


I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles… but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don’t really need to wait on… I guess generally I’m patient when I feel the product doesn’t match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it’s either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.


I returned mine, borrowed a friend’s Iphone for the scan, but I should have definitely gotten an official ipd reading. The set they sent me was really nice, but the ipd was wrong and I’m already kind of susceptible to motion sickness regularly.

I got a discounted pimax for Christmas instead. It’s huge, but has a lot of features I was giving up for the smallness of the bigscreen.

I figured I’d fill in some gaps I left out before about my specific case and why I decided to return the set rather than deal with their support team.

  1. I get motion sickness rather easily. It’s not instant while in VR, but the smallest things (like a smudge on a lens) can cause it to slowly build up until I’m unable to deal with it. That being said, something I wasn’t prepared for was that having a just the custom printed faceplate on my noggin would slowly build up that motion sickness, it’s something about having my vision obscured between my eyes that really set it off.

  2. The only way I could use the supplied headset somewhat was by placing the faceplate lower than it’s supposed to go, which after a bit caused a very unpleasant amount of brow pain. Aside from the ipd being incorrect for me, I feel that the orientation of the print for my faceplate wasn’t set up to direct my eyes to the center of the screens. Support is more than happy to help with this with no charge.

  3. I realized after purchasing it that I’m not the kind of VR player to actually need a slimmed down headset. I’m usually seated, not moving much at all besides my arms, so it’s not like it’s a big deal to just buy a ‘one size fits all’ headset that fits my playstyle a bit better.


As much as I’d have liked it to be some kind of active or skill based game, it was either going to be webfishing or revolution idle.

I recently picked up secrets of grindea, but after having binged it for a few days, I’m grinded out. I need to earn so much gold if I want to collect all the things and it feels like my combat power has hit a wall. There are a few non-grind things I could tackle, but I’ll just wait a bit and let burnout go away.


I had heard absolutely nothing about Secrets of Grindea, but it looks like a game that’s right up my alley, so it’s been grabbed.


The main issue with any borderlands title is that they aren’t worth buying on day one… Or even year 1. I quit buying after 2, and waited for a goty edition for 3. Ended up with the Pandora box which was more than I had planned on getting. Even when 4 releases, I’ll be waiting for the day it goes on sale with all dlc before I even bother looking at it. So probably just 2027 at this point.


Which is why I bought satisfactory twice.

Though for coffee stain I’d do it again.


I dumped 8k hours into it once it came west within a year and a half but have since stopped. The NGS changeover was so poorly handled that it really hurt my enjoyment of the game significantly.


In no particular order:

  • Ragnarok online
  • Darkspace
  • Monster hunter (multiple games)
  • Dj max (multiple games)
  • Garry’s Mod
  • Aliens VS predators 2 (1998)
  • Halo
  • Warframe Phantasy star online (and 2) Path of Exile Morrowind probably.

I think I have 5k hours in and the development style finally got to me in a bad way. I can go into detail if needed, but I don’t feel I need to to anyone with enough time in the game.


I hadn’t heard about this. Guess I’ll go look into it.


I definitely completed it solo. Finding spell books definitely helps, but just crafting spells with the given elements can be more than enough to muddle through.

You can give yourself armor to assist in your normal squishy wizard self that definitely helps with the tougher bits.


I bought them ages ago and let me tell you, crazy taxi without the offspring is just not the same. Borrowing the original versions for free from the internet is the only way to go.


I put mine in Italian. I in no way speak or understand Italian.


I just roughly answered what the switch 2 would likely have during its life based on systems past.

And I definitely forgot about Pokémon.

The switch definitely had more than 1 Mario game though. The makers, a 3D world, the rabbid thing.


At least 3 Mario, Zelda, and Kirby games each. Maybe 1 or 2 metroids, splatoons, and megamans. At most one first party kart, party, and smash.


After attempting to read through it, seems like a menu to fuse or combine game objects which contain some form of sorting system as dictated by the player… So I’m going to assume they mean their phantasy star online 2 weapon item fusion system.

It’s such a rough definition that this can only be classified as a patent troll case. Not that they care about hiding that fact.


I fell off from the game for a number of reasons back when deimos was released. I went back to it to catch up on quests and a lot of original gripes of why I left in the first place were still firmly in place.


It spent many years around spot 7. It has since fallen off.


Oh? Warframe is finally off the top 10?

Admittedly, it’s probably been off it for awhile. I just haven’t really been paying attention to top 10s in a long while.


And the combat was laughably terrible. Still my favorite entry as well. I just felt so unhindered after getting through the first bit.

The one thing that really made it stand out to me was the caves. Some were short, most had hidden places in them that would normally be a pain to get to, and the larger ones were works of art.


I will hurl fire, brimstone, and feces at towns which do not believe in me! And then send them an uncharacteristically good natured tortoise to smooth things over from all the death and destruction that rained from the sky mere moments before.

My creature thinks I’m a benevolent god. Which means it must also think the world outside our domain is in a constant state of annihilation.


And it’s the perfect fit for a VR game as well. The top down towering from the heavens over your domain would make the island feel like a table top game… And you could give your pet proper scritches.



Borderlands 4 has been announced for 2025. For a multitude of reasons, I'm more than happy to sit idly by and wait for a discounted game of the year edition or similar that includes the entirety of their dlc collection because you know there will be paid dlc. It's borderlands.
