- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make 1 week ago:
The major publishers declared strategy and top down games dead, but factorio and other small indie games gmhave kept me on for thousands of hours
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make 1 week ago:
That’s where I am at. Want more money? Release a full complete game. BG3 honestly I could pay 100 for and feel content. RDR2 same deal. Those are complete games, and are worth it.
This Ubisoft trash coming out? 20. Tops.
- Comment on What are some good flight simulator games? 2 weeks ago:
If you want realism, like a full sim, right now you can’t be at Microsoft Flight Sim 2020
- Comment on Minecraft's multiplayer Realms servers have been down since its last patch over three days ago 3 weeks ago:
3 days tells me it’s more than servers down, it’s data loss, and they don’t know how to pull back backups - or never had them
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 3 weeks ago:
Meh.
- Comment on The Dead Rising remaster no longer gives you points for "Erotica" creepshots because it's not "required" or "appropriate" 4 weeks ago:
and the times, they are a-change’n
- Comment on Sober is a new way to play Roblox on Linux from the Vinegar team 4 weeks ago:
I love the OSS. Whenver someone tries to stop something from being done, someone else finds a way.
It’s much harder to prevent someone from doing something vs finding a way to do something new
- Comment on Metropolis 1998 is a fetching isometric blend of SimCity and The Sims, with customisable house interiors 5 weeks ago:
I always thought maxis left money on the table by not combining these two ideas. There’s definitely a venn diagram of people who enjoy SimCity and The Sims, and I think it would have been an amazing blend to build a city and then try living in that city as their Sims. Or for others, to build a city made perfect for their sims.
- Comment on Dragon Age The Veilguard will be Steam Deck verified and EA app will be not required 1 month ago:
No EA app? Holy shit, I absolutely didn’t expect that. I fully expected it to be a steam release that opens up that stupid launcher every time.
- Comment on Here’s The Final Trailer For Borderlands Ahead Of Its Premiere 1 month ago:
Just the whole movie. Why?
- Comment on FTC accuse Microsoft of breaking promise not to raise Game Pass prices after Activision Blizzard deal 1 month ago:
It was a pinky promise! You can’t break a pinky promise!
- Comment on Steam is recommending homophobic curators. 2 months ago:
Eh true, that’s fair.

If they didn’t we’d be on here saying they should be allowing free speech. There’s a balance. Better thing to do instead of trying to blame Valve is to call out the curator themselves so we can call them out on their shite beliefs
- Comment on Don’t expect Fallout 1 and 2 remakes from Bethesda any time soon - Todd wouldn’t want to “paste over” their charm 2 months ago:
Yeah really the biggest selling point of a remaster wouldn’t be graphics, but “it’s one click to run on your machine, no patches, no fixes, no widescreen bugs”.
Mass Effect legendary was less of a remaster for me and more of a “you don’t need to do 4 hours of mods before each game anymore” buy.
- Comment on BioWare's Mark Darrah thinks Veilguard is the first Dragon Age where "the combat's actually fun" 2 months ago:
That’s the hard thing there bud, fun is an extremely subjective term
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 2 months ago:
And it’s absolutely Microsoft’s cycle. New game changer product comes on the market, they rush a half ass version out with the promise of a really good one later, half ass one flops, they scrap the whole idea because no one wants the half ass version, they fade into obscurity.
Tablets, VR, video chat, phones
Anyone remember this?
- Comment on The Last of Us 2 will reportedly follow Part 1 onto PC, but potentially not until next year 2 months ago:
K. I’ve waited this long, it’s not like I’m going to run out and buy a PS5 for it
- Comment on The Witcher Season 4 Teaser Provides First Look At Liam Hemsworth As Geralt 3 months ago:
Only Netflix could take a series as popular as Witcher with just mountains of cash waiting to be grabbed and just lose it all.
Game of thrones is the only one who did a better job at ruining a franchise but this honestly comes damn close
- Comment on Has anyone tried Hellblade 2 on the deck yet? 3 months ago:
oh damn, you’re right, hell_divers_, not hell_blade_. My bad
- Comment on Has anyone tried Hellblade 2 on the deck yet? 3 months ago:
I’m personally not, but I know it’s the #1 game on Deck right now, with over 500k people playing it just on the deck. So, I’d say it’s doing fine.
- Comment on 2K Will Reveal The Next Iteration Of One Of Its 'Biggest And Most Beloved Franchises' At SGF 3 months ago:
Clickbait with the BioShock image, it’s not known yet
- Comment on You Can Play All Of Assassin's Creed Shadows Offline, But You Need A Connection To Install It 3 months ago:
This just in, you may need a computer or other gaming device to play the game, click this “article” for more details
- Comment on The first Red Dead Redemption could finally be coming to PC - and soon - according to a fresh datamine 3 months ago:
I know, it’s such a wasted area down there. Why not just do that? Maybe that’s what’s happening… But I don’t want to get excited. Seriously that would sell soooo much
- Comment on Game Pass’s “only (outside) shot” for sustainability is to get GTA 6 or Call of Duty, says former Microsoft senior PR lead 3 months ago:
Oh, the number one game that gamers want to buy. But yeah I guess what other hopes do they have
- Comment on Warner Bros. Discovery Boss Calls Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League's Release 'Disappointing' 3 months ago:
hm, when we cut funding the games don’t do very well. I guess we better cut funding.
Seriously is this No Child Left Behind but for video games?
- Comment on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf set to arrive by next March, according to report 3 months ago:
That’s the end of their fiscal year, so wouldn’t be surprised, especially with the “announcement” date coming this year. I just hope EA doesn’t bungle this release.
- Comment on Nintendo DMCA nukes 8,535 GitHub copies of Switch emulator yuzu 4 months ago:
only until it becomes popular enough. Although I will say that Yuzu flew too close to the sun, not saying all the maintainers, but several of them were openly for piracy and for the latest generation stuff. That’s stuff that will get you taken down immediately. Fly under the radar, keep it about older games, and usually no one cares. They started taking a bite out of switch profits though, and that wasn’t good for big N

Okay anyone have a clone they’re willing to share?
- Comment on All three remastered Mass Effect games and their DLC are 90% off on Steam 4 months ago:
I’ll see you in 10 years, my friend :(
- Comment on All three remastered Mass Effect games and their DLC are 90% off on Steam 4 months ago:
Legendary edition is one of the few good remasters that have been done. Yes there is drm and promotion garbage, and I’d say be hesitant about it if I were paying full price.
For 90% off for an opportunity to play one of the best gaming series of all time? Just go for it
