When they add the ability to pause in I’ll give it a look.

Now that I have kids playing games that don’t let you pause is impossible.



Fallout 3 for me works well as a sandbox and less as a narrative driven RPG. I had a lot of fun with it but I know if you went in expecting it to be something it’s not (like the first 2 fallout games) you’re gonna be disappointed.



Is this like an Balan Wonderworld bad? Where it’s polished but just an awful experience? Or is it just buggy and meh?

Balans are some of my favorite because there’s something fascinating about a well polished turd that you can’t look away from.


I loved Yoshi’s Story as a kid. Never knew there was hate for it for a long time.


I played this as a kid. I was so bad at this game. I wanted to get farther but I think the third or fourth level broke me.



This is the one written by the guy that did spec ops the line right? I have a soft spot for it and hope it does well.




Hot take. I’m excited this is going 3d. I think it has a chance to outshine the original and give it extra depth.

Also random question, wtf is Xbox PC? Is that just their branding of the PC version? Or is it exclusively on their store/client?


I’m with you. All I wanted for 7 was a graphical update and instead you got alternate dimensions bullshit.


Fuck. Yes. I’ve been waiting for a new bloodstained entry for ages.


Activision has always been awful but they’ve really done their damndest to ensure I never want to play a COD game again

  • Requires a phone number to play online
  • Their UI is the absolute worst thing I’ve laid eyes on. It spends more time advertising other products instead of showing, yknow, how to launch the game I paid money for. I quite literally had to google how to launch the CoD remake because their UI was so confusing
  • install sizes are absurd. I still remember the COD remake took 500GB to install
  • and now micro transactions in loadout screens

And this doesn’t even include all the fuckery with their C-Suite.

I don’t know why they make it so awful to try to play the game you paid full price for.


I thought some of that was them trying to wash away the original fascist roots of OG 40K. Haven’t they been trying to slowly retool and rebrand the imperium more as the “good guys” so they can sell more merch?


I’ve heard Ori is good. And Wasteland 3 is a blast. Those alone are worth 10.


It also affects timing of tricks that are “frame perfect”.

If the old version was frame perfect and you had 1/30 frames and now you have 1/60 you’ve made the trick twice as hard.


I just bought it last night and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite games. Everything just hits so well.

I haven’t had a story draw me in like this one in years.


I think we just need to split roles again.

Discord did there best to be an all in one solution and we just need a return to real time chat and voice along with asynchronous communication like forums


I remember the multiplayer almost killed this game. They had an early beta of the MP and it was a lukewarm reception. I personally tried it and thought it was ehhh. Then it released and everyone raved about the single player.


I know it’s silly but I’d legit consider getting a print subscription again.


It’s kinda weird. I loved the first 30 hours of it and liked the idea of the job system they had. But something hit me and I just dropped it. I kept going back to the same classes and that just ruined the fun. I may go back and try it again at some point.

Doesn’t help that the story isn’t as good as P5 or P4.

It’s still fun. I’d just wait for a sale if you’re on the fence.




I’m still rocking a 6800. I should see what the improvement is. The VRAM would be nice for genai stuff


The only time graphics bothered me is with Violet where everything would slow to a crawl and windmills got super choppy. Otherwise I don’t necessarily care that much.

I wish more time was spent getting rid of cutscenes and story. Pikemon is never going to have anything interesting to say because it needs to appeal to everyone on earth. But they keep shoving more cutscenes that say nothing into the game. Just let me wander and catch pokemon dammit.







Works well! No crashes or anything.

I think I got more fps on windows but I haven’t really spent much time tweaking and I don’t have actual measurements so it could just be anecdotal.

EDIT: I use Proton + Steam to play.


My friends and I used to do weekly apex nights.

Then they blocked linux. My desktop runs fedora and my other friend ran a steam deck. Ended up moving to Helldivers and DRG.

We played Apex for years. Oh well.



The good news is those games aren’t as popular as they used to be. It’s not 2010s anymore.


Triangle Strategy was a lot of fun.

Square Enix’s 2.5D games are my favorite output from them in a long while


Probably just means they didn’t test it on anything else.
