I ignore epic totally

Fair point

Those aren’t gamers in the same way watching racing doesn’t make me a race car driver.

That was my first computer! I wanted this game so bad back then, never had it. I’ll have to spin it up on my os-9’ed g4 Mac mini, hopefully it still runs in 9, most things I’ve tried do.

No

I fully support scalpers getting fucked.

I have one and my kids share it with me, but considering a second. They support profiles. My son plays it on the couch while my daughter watches her shows, and then they’ll put it on the tv and play Mario kart together.

You’d have to be a real tool to buy that

Yeah yeah, the title is getting hate, but I think the point that he was a self taught guy that went on to make some of the greatest video game music of all time is a cool story.

I mean, they only need to give back like $200, so it really is the least they can do.

Fallout 4 wasn’t bad, it was a lot of fun for a few playthroughs. You can make some valid arguments about steps backwards from new Vegas, but it did a lot of things well too.

Ps5 controller is Bluetooth, works for me without any special drivers. Has native support in some games for the haptic triggers and touch pad. It’s a fantastic general purpose unit. The Nintendo switch classic NES controllers are awesome for retro emulation too- also Bluetooth. They make NES/SNES/N64 variants- but really the ps5 will handle all those use cases and feel just fine for any modern gaming.

Marathon series was AMAZING.

Original marathon series was amazing- as was bungie in general back then. Really did amazing work like no one else at the time. I miss those days.

Yeah, looking forward to it!!!

I loved 1 - but 2 didn’t make any sense to me. Slapping 3D on it didn’t seem like something it needed, and it makes it a very different game. Plus, it’s not made by introversion - that’s where 95% of the humor and novel game mechanics came from.

I mean, it changed the world the way I expected- not at all.

Noooooo, I want this company to succeed with this, I really hope this doesn’t seriously impact them long term!

Mannnnnnn always canceling the good stuff

Haven’t played rebirth yet, but played original many times. IGN did a play through review vid: https://youtu.be/5jvBmusBMzo?si=O3qFNeb__PaF7sHl which makes it look both a lot like and very unique from the original at the same time. I dunno how many hours you put in so far, but it looks like there’s easily 35-100 hours worth of content, which is in line with the original. The video I linked makes it look fun, but I’ll reserve judgement until I get a chance to play it!

That’s an interesting perspective I hadn’t thought of before, and I think you’re right.

Yeah they’re real hypocritical dick heads

That’s dumb as shit, why does Microsoft even allow mature games on their platform if their platform doesn’t allow mature content. Sure, record blood and guts, but dont show a nipple or a penis unless it’s exploding in a shower of gore!!! What a fucking disgusting standard we have that gore and violence are celebrated but anything sexual, even simple nudity is some kind of felony offense.

We can only hope

No those two games are the exception no the rule.

Bye Felecia

Way too low, should be more like $500 a year.

Video game makers don’t cater to most minority groups because they’re small. If video game makers really cared about gamers rather than than money, then loot boxes, micro transactions, launch day DLC, pay to win, annual fifa and madden releases, and multiplayer only games wouldn’t exist.

This is what makes the small Indy game makers that make games for the fun of it shine, and I bet they care about their players a lot more.

A lot of older games were bigger because of static assets. Riven (myst 2) was fucking huge because it was like 60,000 jpgs. It was on 5 discs. Later games running in a 3D engine just had texture files and small models, they were a lot smaller.

There’s that quake 2 clone that team did a while back that was only 92KB- it generated everything in memory on the fly. Krieger I think it was called?
