I mean, he’s an airheaded out-of-touch fellow-kids piece of shit, but he’s not entirely wrong about restarting a game if it starts getting fucky after several hours of continuous play.

Also, I’d suggest to just about anyone that they should probably at least get up and walk around, maybe get some fresh air, if you’re gonna be gaming all day. Your devices need breaks too.

Have you tried Wonderlands? I really liked it, and would love a sequel/more of that one.

So Byterunners (the developers of DDS) are suing the publisher, Movie Games, because MG went after Schedule I without talking to Byterunners first. And when called out on it, supposedly MG banned Byterunners from the DDS discord server and their platform, taking away BR access to the assets that BR used to even make the game

Shit, I got downvoted the other day for calling it overrated. I did get it confused with Silksong, just because it’s been talked about to fucking death on the internet, but even still.

My first thought is a dock of some sort for the Deck

Generation Zero has bicycles as the main “silent” vehicle to get around, so you don’t alert the machines.

Parcel Corps (I played the demo a while back, I don’t know if it’s fully released) is about bicycle couriers, in a cool vibrant city. It kinda reminds me of JSRF in a couple ways, as you ride around on your bike and do all sorts of cool tricks, and there’s a funky soundtrack (from what I remember).

Eta: holy shit I forgot about, imo, the GOAT of bike gameplay: Bully. I remember trying so hard to get all the way through Shop class to get one of the best bikes in the game, and doing the paperboy side quest as much as I could just to experience that feeling, and earn tons of money. I ended up getting really good at it too.

The only time where extra characters as DLC could be considered okay is fighting gameS imo. Even then though, it shouldn’t be locking OP characters behind pay walls; they should all more or less be equal in power but play differently.

All the gaming YouTubers I watch bought one (aside from maybe one or two who play almost exclusively PC).

In fact, anytime I go to YouTube and see a major creator playing the Hot New Thing, it kinda kills me inside a little, because I know they’re helping to perpetuate all this bullshit.

Those are infinitely better

Spaghetti-pocalypse? Spag and sword fantasy?

Almost all YouTubers do it, especially video essayists and vloggers. I think they’re cutting out anytime they pause or say “um” to keep the video going so there’s not a lot of bullshit.

But who actually knows, I’m just guessing.

Why not your own basement?

I just liked taking things apart, so I hope there’s just more of that. Maybe even bigger ships we can work on? And modded ships, so people could make stuff like the Millennium Falcon, the Serenity, or even the Rocinante; maybe even bigger than those?

I remember playing the original because I got it with Games with Gold on Xbox. I couldn’t even get past the first (second?) boss in that cathedral it was such a bullshit.

But The Surge 1+2? Those are cool games with interesting lore that’s actually fed to you, so you don’t have to go searching for little scraps of lore from item descriptions or cryptic NPC dialog. And it’s fun to play, but can still be kinda bullshit sometimes. I still haven’t finished either one though.

I.e: about half of gaming YouTubers

Yeah. There are ways to absolutely break it though. Like if you just buy all the properties you can, you’ll be swimming in gold from the rent.

And then you can share extra gold between characters, so you can start the next playthrough with a “small loan” kinda thing.

Never seen a CD jewel case before?

Why’d you delete the comment?

Anyone have any thoughts on the vendor/show floor? I didn’t go, but I know one company was supposed to have a big presence there this year - Pixel Empire

4 was janky, and jumped the shark too many times in the story.

But damn did I have a fun time playing it. The weather guns are stupid, but they’re fun. Just like the jetpack and weather guns from the DLC for 3. We’re not playing these games for realism; at least I’m not. I wanna glide around over a base and bomb the shit out of it and watch everything explode.

I love Fable 3. I love how the weapons will change, I like the “Sanctuary” pause menu, and the world is awesome (if a little small). I do wish they were able to make it bigger with more side quests though.

Reach and ODST rule imo

Pretty much. Although I’ve only read the Evolutions collection and Contact Harvest. I really want to read Ghosts of Onyx.

I played the series in reverse order so I love Jak 2 and 3. TPL is okay, but I do actually like the action-y gameplay of the sequels.

Palate?

2 was also my favorite out of the current Darksiders games. 3 was a Soulslike ripoff that was kinda meh imo.

I actually have Agony Unrated on steam, and it’s an okay survival horror/walking sim through hell. There’s a LOT of demon sex in it.

And House Party got famous because of YouTubers. I also got it and the uncensored “DLC” on steam.

They’re definitely not art (aside from maybe the first one) lol, but they’re all still pretty enjoyable if you even tangentially like horror/slasher movies.

Idk why I like them, but I feel like imo it’s the equivalent of wanting to listen to some heavy metal or something. Sometimes you just want to watch something super fucked up.

I mean sure, but you gotta break up the monotony sometimes.

Even the recent Call of Cthulhu game broke up its slow story segments with a few action scenes.

I mean if you like the weird shit, I’d say continue on. They’re fun slasher movies, and the reboot from a couple years ago was pretty good imo; the ending was pretty fucked.

The trailer makes it seem like there will be “lesser” demons or creatures we may fight, but if a Cenobite knows we’re there, we’re fucked.

It definitely didn’t sound like him

Mmm this may be one of the few straight-up horror games that I’m genuinely excited to play. It looks fucked in all the right ways.

I hope Doug Bradley has a cameo of some kind. His voice is too iconic for Pinhead imo.

I assume Friday the 13th

I’m glad I played it on Game Pass, let’s put it that way.

I mean we could also search the workshop to see if anyone has made any custom levels right up your alley…

Damn that’s nice

Idk, I liked Jedi: Survivor even though that one was EA.

Like watching playthroughs of Gow Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2. I don’t have a PlayStation so I couldn’t play them when they first released (they’re on PC now, but expensive), but I was on the hype train so I wanted to see what happened.

Now that I know what happens, I still want to play through them myself so I can make the decisions, like you say.

So I’ve played with that mod now for about a day, and it’s really nice. The toggleable hood is a very nice touch, being able to shoot or drop bombs almost whenever is amazing, and they fixed the window thing.

I play this game almost exclusively with a controller, so I can’t really take “full” advantage of the mod, but a lot of the parkour stuff still translates as it’s just a different button map.

I also got a cloth physics mod to fix the stuff/heavy cloth physics, and it’s just an absolutely incredible feeling to have the long coats actually flowing when you move again.
