That Prince of Persia Metroidvania that came out a couple years ago had a very useful feature where you can not only make custom marks on your map, it also attaches a screenshot to the marker that pops up when you hover over it.

Super useful, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it used in other Metroidvania games…

Also, not even sure what specifically, but more games should be like Animal Well. So… Just do that lol

It’s like part-visual novel (gameplay and artwork similar to the Danganronpa series if you’re familiar), and part tactical RPG. There seems to be a sort of board game type thing too? I only really just started the game and I think its still in the process of unveiling mechanics.

This game is pretty good. If you like Danganronpa and tactical RPGs, then this will be right up your alley.

Gamers are so fucking embarrassing man… These people will harass a voice actor, because they don’t like that the character the person plays killed a beloved character.

It’s like they cannot tell fiction from reality.

Edit:

Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.

Look… It’s great this person felt remorse, but Jesus Christ these people fold immediately. A bunch of racist paper tigers.

I would say that the story of DE kind of plays a back seat to the inner dialogue stuff imo… It’s not the kind of game that you just rush through so you can see what the plot is.

Is the writing still going to be cringe as fuck?

Same. I have no plans to even buy one until I see what their first party offerings end up being

But it does allow you to transfer/sell games purchased from the eShop. That seems good to me, no?

Sekiro is what did it for me in terms of Souls-like games. That’s the one that “clicked” with me, and I still consider it perhaps my favorite game of all time.

No game makes me feel more like a complete idiot than Baba is You. Great game though.

Taste is subjective, and all your comment does is make you look like an asshole. Just saying. Thought I’d point that out.

This is why they need to unionize.

This isn’t unique to the gaming industry, this is capitalism writ large

Neat. Thanks for the info!

“Unannounced 3D Mario Game”

Ahhhhhh OK, I see…

Do you guys curate this yourself, or is there a website or something that facilitates it?

But you don’t always know about every release a year in advance (I mean for games that weren’t announced yet at the time of your draft)… Are there “seasons”?

Lol sorry, I’ve just never heard of this and I’m intrigued.

Edit: clarity

Lol 9 times out of 10, they don’t actually play the games they whine about.

Just now we had a month with both Blue Prince and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 being released within weeks of each other.

Didn’t see your comment before saying almost the exact same thing lol

How can it be that it is more enjoyable than anything else I’ve bought over the last year (at least)?

Possibly because you’re buying the wrong games? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got a massive nostalgia-on for Oblivion, and I picked up the Remaster, and it’s cool…

But there have been a lot of great games so far this year. Just this month alone, Blue Prince and Expedition 33 have both been fantastic. Both better than the Oblivion remaster imo.

The Indiana Jones game is cool. I haven’t played Split Fiction yet, but it looks really good as well. Just to name a few.

Edit: More that I remembered: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Wanderstop is pretty chill. Xenoblade Chronicles X was finally released on Switch (game map is like 5x the size of Skryim or something…). Atomfall. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is pretty cool if you’re into that kind of thing.

As someone with no kids and a work/life balance that allows me to enjoy video games, I wonder how much of this vitriol comes from bitter millennials who are mad at the world because they don’t have time to play games anymore.

Fantasy Critic

Wait what? Is this like fantasy sports, but with video game reviews? Do you draft developers or some shit?

What gfx setting are you using?

Yeah that’s crazy, the touchpads on the Steam Deck are really good…

With no subscription, just simply uploading from my GBA/DS/3DS/Switch to my Steamdeck… Nintendo for reasons completely lost to me refuses to allow that. Like, wth are they even doing over there to not have solved that issue day 1 on the switch.

Are you honestly asking why Nintendo doesn’t allow you to simply bypass purchasing their console? Really? Why do you think?

Before Steam Deck maybe.

Imagine if people were this principled about things that actually mattered…

Use the Windows version with Proton, it almost always works better.

I’ve been playing Oblivion on Linux through Proton and have had zero issues. Like most games.

Your data on Linux gaming is woefully outdated.

I imagine the Deck hardware is barely up to snuff.

Same. No problems whatsoever.

I love gaming on Linux

Have you tried Against the Storm (based on your mentioning of RTS style games)

Why does it look like they’re making their 3D titles on PlayStation 3s?

All 2D Mario games seem pretty similar. Of course people are hungry for new levels to play, but there’s hardly anything groundbreakingly different from one to the next.

This is exactly why they put out Super Mario Wonder, which was pretty different (and pretty good imo)

Maybe… It’s been a long time since I read.

Awesome book, but man that’s a pretty major spoiler lol

Groundbreaking

Some save scumming. A couple of false starts. Once or twice where I played a few hours before realizing that I fucked up several hours prior.

Yes, I know this is not how the game is meant to be played. No, I do not care.

Oh shit good call, I’m in the same boat. I have like 100 hours and I’m still at the end of Act 1. Had to take a break, but it’s a hard game to come back to after a while.

Steam also has like the most generous return policy for video games ever

Yakuza series for sure.

But yeah, I wouldn’t put it at the top of the list, personally.

This is also part of the reason why Switch seems to be fairly powerful

Say what? In what world? The chip was already like 5 years old when Switch came out.

Playing this game for the first time and it’s very impressive.

I’ve read that the game world is estimated to be 5x larger than Fallout 4’s, and 3x larger than The Witcher 3. That’s insane.

feel disgust when your beliefs are challenged

I remember feeling this in church as a kid. Know what I did? I asked myself, “why would I react that way? If this is true, then it should be able to withstand challenges, and if it’s not then it is not worth believing.”
