The list.

It’s much more likely they want to boost the sales of their recently launched Remaster.

Still shitty, of course.

Better score is more viewers, of course.

Did you try watching a silver stream? It’s unbearable.

2024 is not finished for anybody on earth, pal.

I’m not sure if it’s wow or League.

I played League for 10 years but in my adult phase, while wow was mostly while studying so a lot more hours to burn.

I do, as most things the passion comes and go.

I think growing your taste evolves as well, we are not used to consider that in gaming but simply stuff I found exciting back in the days now would bore me to death.

The Talos Principle 2. Other than magnifying the dread of the elections, I expected more considering the first one is my favorite game ever.

It’s good but it’s not as perfect as the first one. Too “grounded”.

Battle(non)sense was single handedly the only person that demistified GPU settings and I feel single handedly affected most of the settings we now have in our menus.

I’m talking fps / response time / refresh rate.

There used to be wild stuff flying around pushed by marketing that did nothing at all or were actively harmful.

Rocket Jump Ninja is a special place when it comes to mouses.

I guess they could make good games, it’s in their interest, I’m not going to give them money either way.

Two huge mistakes.

Mostly because of the dress.

You have to try the matrix mod.

The best thing about Yakuza is that it welcomes meny different approaches so you can go have crazy absurd fun, intense cinematic story driven drama, mindless collectible and challenges…

I think it’s perfect to rediscover what fun in videogame is.

DotA and Counterstrike for sure.

I tried the first but it was unapproachable, the second I think I had to pay for so it was a no-no.

I’d like to say Dwarf Fortress but I’m afraid I would have turned out even weirder than I am.

I’m surprised it stayed up this long. This game was bad.

You went straight for “I’m not smart”.

How can I mean those if I played the game myself? Doesn’t it clicks to you that the point of the game is the shocking value of it 100% looking like a dating sim untill it’s not? (And when it’s not it still builds on the building block of a dating sim, to be fair).

As of the “got downvoted to hell”, hell does not exists nor does downvotes. I made my point and I’m ok with people missing the joke or not liking it.

TIL

Are you trolling? It’s clearly a dating simulator, I don’t care if “there’s no nudity” or “they are all 18 so it’s fine”.

Get a life.

I don’t know what you are talking about. Kudos to you to openly admit you are into dating schoolgirls at… check notes… 53 years old.

Do they just, make the money disappear if you don’t reach the 50 or do they add up till you reach 50?

2 years ago this investigation into its working was released (abusive working conditions), I think it may be relevant…

I enjoyed Carto and Paradise Killer, as far as “different and creative” goes.

So, there’s more than one answer. When it came out the idea was, and it’s debatable how much Nintendo used this concept as a marketing tool or with a design in their head, tha the controller allowed flexibility. For different games, different sections or different preferences, you could hold the two outer handles, and get a basic SNES type thing, or you could hold the mid and either one of the sides.

I feel part of it was a bit of mistrust, maybe from some early testing or internal, about the accuracy or the familiarity of users with the joystick, the design allows people to opt into it or go for the tradizional buttons.

I recall some weird stuff was supposed to be meant for the full left side combo, so directional buttons + analog stick. That was a bit of a far reach…

So beside all the intentions, 99% of the games were played with your left hand on the middle handle and the right hand on the righ handle. Consider there’s a very comfy trigger button below the middle handle that is mirrored or mirrors the left shoulder button.

I’ll look into it, thanks.

I have two and I can’t vouch for the “built like a tank” since one of them once in a while decides to drift around.

Still 110% worth it for the price.

My previous point is that League, DOTA 2 and Dota All-Stars (which is where Icefrog comes from, and not from DOTA 2 as the guy maybe believe) are basically the same thing and they all stem from his legacy.

So saying this game is “basically DOTA 2” is, well, a much bigger deal than he seem to realyze.

My point about baseball and polo, was about his distinguishing between the number of watchers and the number of players, which is not relevant because MOBAs are huge no matter how you look at them (like baseball in comparison to polo).

Yes but baseball is bigger than polo no matter how you look at it.

It’s arguably the game that brought e-sports into a new era. Unless you think League would have ever been a thing without dota being invented.

Pretty much anything that was not card related. But where I live there’s gamers still gather in holes in the ground and I’m not into that.

I flew once and catched a League of Legends All-Stars event, but it was clearly too corporate and didn’t have that great of a time. I hope I’ll get to catch The International next year.

“It feels just like one of the biggest and longer lasting videogame ever crafted by mankind: overhyped.”

I’ve never heard of it but it sounds like an interesting indie game from some rockstar guy. I wish they gave him a bigger budget to build a topdown version set in London.

As a fan, 20$ is surely the wrong pricepoint for it, unless it’s one of those strategies that I’m seeing popping up more and more about having the dyiehard price followed quickly by a 50% cut (that’s just the reasonalbe expected price).

Supposedly he is also developing another game so yea, this remaster was not on the top of the list. I’m still not happy it sold below expectations because I think it’s a neat game.

Civilization is also an obvious answer that I’m not seeing mentioned. I feel like it’s more manageable than Stellaris, especially older versions (I tend to play IV or V).

As I mentioned below, I feel like the expansion is less inspired and makes for an overall decline in quality.

I don’t want to spoil anything but I feel like it makes the experience less dense and focused. I loved the original one, read great things about the expansion and found it leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

But in a way I guess you can’t get the cat back in the box or something… Still a great game overall, I feel it just goes from a 10 to an 8.5.

The first thing that came to my mind was “Before the Storm”, but it was already listed…

“A Short Hike” for sure, “What Remains of Edith Finch” could fit and nobody mentioned it.

Superflight is great and quite different from most of the suggestions you are getting.

(The Stanley Parable I don’t think fits but if you want to try it out I suggest you do not take the “Deluxe” version and sitck to the original one)
