I started an indie platformer called Archaeogem, early impressions are great. Apart from that today I played Post Void, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World.


Can we please just stop with the remakes, there are other games out there people.


It seems particularly bad in video games from my admittedly narrow perspective. Declining standards of many mainstream gamers for new releases doesn’t help.


There are no consequences for the leadership when they fuck up.



Those are very worrying statistics. I am planning to upgade to a discrete GPU from the 5600G’s iGPU, I hope this doesn’t become a problem in the future.

An anti-competative business move that’s forty years late.




Nah, that’s old news. They want an open world looter shooter.


I almost always hate these remake announcements but this one is fine to me, bringing original RE inline with the rest of the REmakes doesn’t seem like the worst idea.


I wouldn’t even bother torrenting that to be honest, I never understood why it got so much praise. It looks like just another mediocre open world action game.



Honestly, when I first heard the term “boomer shooter” I thought the games were called that because of the amount of explosions they have. Ion Fury in particular is full of them. It a was a while after I realised that by “boomer” they basically mean “old”.

I think “retro shooter” is the much better term, though “classic” also works.


See, this is why the liveservice model is fundementally bad. Even if they don’t fuck it up on launch, they can always fuck it up later.

Stick to offline folks.


I think that stuff will come later, otherwise I don’t see why they’d have multiple tiers in the first place.


I doubt it, I think there are many great games out there that don’t get noticed because not enough people talk about them. We get a ton of games every year. You can’t rely on word of mouth for your game’s success.









There are already services that handle this, but personally I hate it when they just mirror their account and forget about it like that.

Unless birdsite.live bot stopped working I see no reason for doing it this way.



Not suprising, good mobile games usually come from small indie devs (like all good things). When a big IP gets attached to it, it usually doesn’t go well for the hardcore audience.




I just realized that it’s been quite a while since we got a new record analysis. I love all of his content still, but I hope we see more of this in the future.


I used to like following news through Game Informer, but who knows what state that’s in right know.


The demo they released sometime back was really bad, which is what civvie talked about. It remains to be seen if they managed to fix all the problems people had with it since then. Personally I’m going to wait and see, Phantom Fury could be an amazing but that demo severely damaged our hype for it.


I think the internet requirement super sucks because those servers go down eventually. It’s likely to be a big problem on launch day as well. The more expensive editions come with an exclusive mission so that probably sets the tone for the season pass too. We will have no wait and see.




Play indie games. They are way more fun, cheaper and most of the time don’t require powerful hardware.

But also read books, books are amazing. I recommend True Grit.


Last time I used it Matrix was slow as hell. I don’t know if it improved since then. XMPP is great but public servers are a wasteland.


With eighty dollars you can have four or more great games instead. I recommend you try Huntdown first, I have been having a blast with it.


Slay the Princess is so good guys.
If you haven't played it, you really should give it a try. It is one of the most creative games I have ever played and is now one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever. This game is the game that made me take visual novels seriously. Before this I just though they were all typical, anime-esque romance stuff. I want to try more of this stuff.
