If Sony buys From, Elden Ring might be the final AAA game I play for the foreseeable future. Too many good indie titles to bother anymore.

Yes. The more you know of another culture, the more you can interface with it and its people.

I guess the real problem would be that people wouldn’t get references. I know any anime that involves historical figures or legends I don’t get a lot of the jokes and references. If a major portion of the entertainment value is from references you can easily alienate foreign audiences. If it’s a new, alien, story it could be pretty cool, though.

Same sort of argument for more government surveillance. “I have nothing to hide”. Yeah, you have nothing to hide from the government, but what about your crazy ex? Overbearing parent? Because all it takes is one hack and now your information is available to anyone who’ll pay, maybe even for free at some point.

But do you own it?

I would argue Nintendo does do a lot of pro-consumer stuff. Like making actually good games. It’s just their anti-consumer stuff is either so bad or just plain weird that we just scratch our heads and think Nintendo is going off the deep end. Still trying to avoid buying much Nintendo going forward.

Nah they’re just a fun guy.

Not to mention the ungodly amount of indie games.

Supported this game on Kickstarter and it was my first Steam game ever. Couldn’t really get into it after release and then I heard of all the problems the game had in the end.

I liked the magic in Elden Ring. First Souls game I played magic in and I feel it was very strong. If you’re going with sorceries, just be aware that the first magic teacher is easily missed. Look up where they are if you get too far into the game without finding more magic.

It has been blowing up. Every N64 Youtube channel I watch has talked about it so far.

People like being social and having discourse online. Probably what brought you here in the first place.

Fallout 4 is the next Skyrim?

Zelda: Majora’s Mask. The characters were more real in that game than any other Zelda. So much emotion and good music.

Danganronpa would have a word.

I guess it’s a combination of passion for the project and having enough money to live comfortably. ConcernedApe is a treasure and I hope the industry keeps shifting towards indie devs and companies that have this philosophy of making games for the fans and not for the money.

Goldeneye 007. Yeah seriously. The most famous multiplayer game of its generation very nearly didn’t have multiplayer. It was tacked on when they finished the game and had a little bit of extra time and ROM storage.

Oh. It’s that game that has a song in DJMax Respect V. Who knew that such a cute looking game could be hiding something so insidious.

Rock and rollin’ Stone!

Yes and people have been complaining about the abuses these companies do with all of these for the longest time. At least all of those have some use unlike loot boxes and other microtransactions.

They don’t do gaming reviews, but Crosscode was always that game Linus tested on those handheld consoles up until and including the Steam Deck. I remember him playing it to test latency and stuff on displays and stuff.

Cross code won awards and was featured several times on Linus Tech tips. IDK how lesser known it could be then. It did come out a while ago. I agree that the game is good, but it is one of the few games I quit because of performance issues.

I want a truly massive nuclear submarine and be able to explore some of the actual deep parts of the ocean. Like they hype up the huge drop off in the first game. Maybe a bit of protection against the giant ghost laviathans.

It would get them some more downloads, but it might just be too difficult for them to achieve since their games are all the embodiment of “Jack of all trades, master of none.”

They’re not there to protect him. He’s there to protect the police.

Hold my headset. I’m going in… ouch.

Heard somewhere that it can get worse if you try to power through the nausea and sickness. Like your body remembers that it made you sick before and wants to actively avoid going through that experience again. So if you start feeling sick, especially when you first start out, stop playing.

Part of the problem are the stockholders who expect the shares to go up in price every time. If it starts dipping down enough a huge portion of them will pull their shares and bankrupt the company. This causes companies to mostly think in the short term cause it’s better to make a bit more money than be bankrupt.

Yeah, she tricked me at first and then after a video I realized how fluid the movements were and that the speech was too realistic. I thought how it worked was that someone played the game and then people programmed a Vocaloid voice to say all those things and animated her body.

Didn’t UE 4 have shader loading issues too? Maybe it was UE3. Many UE games suffer from microstutters cause of this.

Ys 1 was pretty fun and short. It uses bump mechanics for combat which was fun. The final dungeon is like half the game and you are already max level when you enter so the challenge was pretty good. The random lore snippets gave me a sense of wonder the whole game. Ys 2 was more complex in its mechanics and it seemed to randomly get super hard so I gave up on that one.
