here’s an idea: wait a couple hours. or days. games aren’t fruit; they don’t go bad all that fast.


https://thisweekinvideogames.com/

is also great, recently launched by SkillUp and friends. reviews and news articles are free, but there’s a second tier of special articles available for paid readers.


no matter how many times I see it, that’s still a wild spelling of that word and shouldn’t be allowed. in fact you should go to jail for it. fucking ghoti-ass spelling.



of course. i commented mostly to hear what people specifically like about it.


never got why they following is so massive. one of these super popular games that never really clicked for me. i mean it was fun but also felt run of the mill; i didn’t understand what’s so special about it.



the idea of a modder not allowing others to mod their work is hilarious on its own.

that’s like a thief going, “hey don’t touch the things i stole! have some respect for property rights, yeah?”




for me Raven always brings back memories of soldier of fortune. though i wouldn’t want a sequel today as its only selling point was dynamic dismemberment and that has long lost its novelty imo. i remember nothing about the story if it had any, and all i remember is that it had a very unappealing and generic cover art and i was lucky to have not skipped trying it because of that.



as Cody said on his showdy:

[he] is the guiltiest man who ever lived. just the sweatiest, most obvious rapist and child molester in the history of the world. he deserves an award for this; his first deserved award.



the game isn’t about conserving ammo. the ammo is about resource planning. you can use fabricators to stock up on ammo. once you get used to it you never even come close to running out.


if you got out of the apartment and didn’t want to finish the game then it’s simply not for you. for me that moment alone was enough to see it through.


i didn’t mean to imply you were arguing for it. i get what you’re saying i just wanted to point out that the industry justifications for it are bullshit.


GTA 6 won’t be worth 80 bucks. no game is. it’s complete horseshit, the inflation argument is bad, the cost of making games argument is worse. don’t buy corpo bullshit.


i disagree on all accounts, including what the original commenter meant, but that’s a valid opinion.


fair. i just found it well written, funny and witty throughout, with memorable NPCs and a solid pace that I’d prefer to a Bethesda style game, which I was very tired of at that point.

i think most of the backlash against it came from the expectation that it would be literally fallout 3 style open world when it was much more guided and concise.

that being said i don’t think any game should be fucking 70 bucks let alone 80. so I’ll wait for reviews first and a discount second, and only buy it both are positive.


ridiculous. games don’t have to be padded to 4000 hours full of busywork and bullshit to be worth $60. OW1 was more worth $60 than any bethesda game since FO:Vegas, which was incidentally not made by bethesda.


oh god please stop. now you’re saying words you don’t understand. and you’re doing it with dramatic pauses and shit. this is too much. please stop embarrassing yourself.




this is coming from the genius who doesn’t get how name similarity is relevant in IP disputes… it’s not about being exact, Einstein, that’s a very specific issue that this game doesn’t engage in.


i don’t think you’re remembering things well or maybe you played the popular ones. there was a bunch of doom clones that barely tried to be something different. lots of w3d clones too. also this game isn’t called Orion: Null sunrise so your “HELL” example is a bit unwarranted.


i don’t give a shit? doom had like a thousand clones; guess what, doom is still a household name and most of the clones are long forgotten. some good ones made their own name and following.

unless there’s outright stolen assets or code, or they’re using a deliberately confusing name, i don’t care. if it’s a slavish clone as you say, there’s nothing to worry about.

it would be one thing if horizon was this underdog game made by a couple people and has largely gone under the radar then yeah it would suck. but fuck me no one’s mistaking another game for horizon zero dawn.


people who play games usually don’t have time for shit like this and would rather play games in their free time. that’s why whenever you see people shriek about “wokeness” in games it’s always a bunch of incels who clearly never play them. they’re posers.




just put the fries in the bag. stop making excuses. stop killing games.


they say “developer choice” because they know those words have positive connotations but what they mean is “publisher greed”


Phil fish stuff was so overblown oh my god. i hate gamers man. they never show this kind of hate toward the actual cunts of the industry.


consumerism is a disease. i can’t believe I’m still seeing people asking for gamified fomo bullshit.


on that part sorry i still don’t care. it’s a child’s game; there’s nothing to apologize for. but his comments on stop killing games and accused farms are bad.


i don’t watch him but i hope this isn’t about what he did in wow because the sheer fact that anyone even gives a shit seems wild to me. but hey i hate MMOs so maybe that’s why.

is there other reasons people don’t/shouldn’t like him or is it just vibes

edit: nvm got an answer on another content


that’s one of the things they underlined in the direct. they seem to be more interesting in general. klepto for example lets you sell things you’ve stolen for more money but every now and then you auto steal stuff you look at, which can get you in trouble.


I’m pretty sure it’s always been both. They’re both modifying the game.
