I look forward to the future WiiUWiiU 🚨!

I don’t know if it counts but Red Dead Redemption introduced me to Liar Dice! Now I freakin’ love Liar Dice!

I am curious why it is considered such a terrible practice? A lot of people don’t want to spend time and effort renovating an old property (nor do they have the knowledge or experience to do it well) so there is a market for old but already “fixed up” houses and there are people that make a living doing just that.

Nah it won’t be like that - in future you will get to subscribe to multiple services Sony, Microsoft, Epic, Ubisoft, EA, etc to play the games you want!

Battletoads (NES) I have a few but I want to call out this as it gets memed for it’s difficulty - and it was difficult - but not “can’t pass level 3 speeder bikes” difficult!

The game looked great, had extremely tight controls and had an insane amount of level variety! Each of the 12 levels was unique, from platforming, rappelling, biking, surfing, flying, racing, swimming, and even weird ass wall clingers! And they all played well - It also had the most banging pause music ever haha!

I am curious to see if your opinion changes as you get through it, as the more I explore the more I find unexpectedly unique and interesting areas (caves, wells, ruins, manors, towers, etc) with unique and well designed enemies and bosses at every turn. It may help a lot that I have never played a souls game so it all feels very new to me!

I barely time to game, but have recently sunk 60 hrs into Elden Ring - with no intention of stopping! It is phenomenal!

Devs have gotten lazy

You mean projects no longer factor in the time or prioritise this kind of optimisation, right?

It’s one thing to remove a feature, but another thing to announce it with communication along the lines of “we will replace it with something later”. The third party API changes smelt the same “we are blocking access now but we will work out a subscription model later”.

Makes me wonder if they actually have any kind of well thought out strategy or it’s just a series of poorly thought out and poorly planned approaches to “make money”. It screams of a mismanagement of direction to me.

This game could just have been Helldivers 1 in third person and I would have been sold!

I don’t know how I feel about the move from a flat logo back to the old shaded, gradient 3D look, but I am definitely a fan of the font!
