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.


I think the problem is reddit tracked all sales to a T and ruined it for everyone else.


It’s nice for trying out games that you’re not sure about.

I dropped it when they increased the prices but for a bit it wasn’t bad for the price.

It’s not a replacement for owning games. Just an extra benefit


I thought the title was just made to take advantage of trending searches on Google.

This looks like a cash grab article.




That sucks.

Apex was the game I played with my friends to keep in touch long distance. Guess I gotta find something new now. Sure as he’ll ain’t installing Win11 for it.

I guess it’s been a long time coming. The dev decisions and priorities the last few years have really made it feel like I’m the last person they want playing their game.


I have a feeling they’re looking for more revenue streams and need to generate more user engagement


As long as the base game justifies the price I don’t mind as much. I thi the practice is worse when you don’t get a full story and it feels like “pay 40 dollars to see the end!”

I usually catch these on sale anyway. I’m the worst type of customer for Owlcat for sure.


I’ve been wanting to check out Rogue Trader now that that’s out. I loved Kingmaker and Wotr from Owlcat (with the caveat that I always disable the crusade and kingmaking modes…)


The extra 20 minutes telling you to buy shit and like and subscribe is necessary I hear.


Nah you gotta play it IMO.

Just go and do it now and don’t read anything else.


I’m surprised they’re still doing multiple seasons.

I thought it’d pull a Concord by now.


Me personally I’d rather have the loading screen. It’s being honest about what’s happening rather than trying to hide it.

I don’t find constantly moving through tight corridors immersive at all.


Started playing LoZ Oracle of Seasons. I never played the oracle games and so far they’re great. Never realized how much I like the GB Zelda games.

Afterwards I think I’m gonna revisit the Golden Sun games.


Xbox series X Elite controllers. I’ll never go back. They have a good weight and feel.

Sorta on topic, what do people use for N64 emulation? I can’t find a 6 button controller that I like.


It’s explained in a battle but it’s easy to miss. I completely missed it my first playthrough


I think Avowed is the only thing I’m kinda excited for and that’s more of a “This sounds kinda promising” than “Oh shit I can’t wait!”




Yeah like the default is 1 dollar for 20 or something pathetic.

And there’s a mandatory humble bundle tip that used to not be there.


I agree about Xenoblade 2. I played for 10-20 hours and had to drop it. At some point I would find a horde of enemies and go “dear God not ANOTHER fight” and just start running.


I didn’t realize they took away the apex coin option. That sucks.

I used to top up to unlock the next pass and bridge the gap when I play casually with friends.

Not sure I’m gonna be paying anymore towards this.


Case of the golden idol is such a stellar game.

I figured out the twist pretty quickly but it’s excellent how they build it up.


The .NET rebuild they did on steam is actually pretty solid IMO.

Especially if you mod it to use the AI upscale backgrounds

It also has a 20 times speed mode that makes the chocabo mini game bearable.


Wut?

This is purely because Twitter changed their pricing structure to charge out the nose for API calls so Nintendo and other don’t wanna pay big money for a worthless feature.


Was just about to cancel gamepass and then saw this dropped. I can hold onto it for one more month to check this out.



Yeah that’s fair.

IMO a lot of the subtlety comes from the imagery and symbols around you as you progress through the game. The vibrant tree that you pass that burns up when you look back, etc.

As far as gameplay goes it is very linear. The only “choice” is to stop playing. If I remember correctly the development behind Spec Ops was very rushed so they didn’t have time to so any of those branching paths.

I appreciate it like I would a visual novel more than I do an interactive game.


A lot of their 2.5 D games are actually pretty damn good.

I had a lot of fun with Triangle Strategy and I heard a lot of good things about Octopath 2


I think you can patient gamer it but it only works if you’re heavily familiar with that time.

I was really into COD4 and grew up during the Bush administration so I knew exactly what Spec Ops was critiquing. If you don’t have that experience though I agree it does not land.


And not make the site impossible to use.

Most sites nowadays its impossible to actually read a goddamn article without 5 pop in videos and ad breaks.


“We’re making something new and don’t have high hopes for it. Just don’t even bother”


Yeah I’m all for it. I fucking love deck building games.




Persona 3 Reload. Only played a bit of the original but I’m loving this remake. The QoL updates make it feel more fun and less of a slog. And I love the newer graphic style.

Did a bit of helldivers 2 with friends. Good fun but between work and kids I don’t have a lot of multi-player game time anymore.


Problem is you can’t milk $10000 out of the single player games like you can GaaS ones. Meaning it’s harder to pitch to investors.

Personally I can’t stand it and end up just avoiding AAA titles altogether because of it.
