I was going to say diablo4 as well. Diablo1 and 2 were some of my favorite games in my youth, but I just don’t want to give blizzard any more money. Path of exile 1 and 2 are good for the same itch.
Also any console exclusives. Bloodborne? Would love to play. Not buying a console. New Zelda and Mario? Same.
It looks so good, and the music is great, and story is apparently fantastic, but I just can not get the hang of the counter/block mechanic in combats, and without it the battles are pretty much impossible.
I came to depend less on the visual cues which are often deceptive and more on the audio ones or counting in my head for dodges/parries. Also invest heavily (basically all your points) into defense/vitality which makes Dodge/Parry misses much more forgiving.
Eventually, even if you only do a smattering of side quests/areas, you’ll get powerful enough to basically ignore the timing mechanics altogether.
Also set it on story mode + auto QTEs. I did that on my first playthrough and had absolutely no regrets. The mechanics of the game are definitely secondary to the experience of the story.
Minecraft. I love building things, and I especially love the idea of building things you can walk through in first person. I also loved the little of it I did play. Sadly, it makes me incredibly nauseous and gives me a headache after about half an hour of playing.
I have been interested in something like this for me and my girlfriend. Do you know if you’re able to do the link cable stuff for GBA/GB/GBC games that require it? I appreciate your opinions on it and I hope you have a lovely day.
I didn't know Fall Guys got bought out. But then again, that was a flavor-of-the-week kind of game where streamers tried to care, then moved on and Fall Guys became irrelevant.
I played it on steam deck about a year ago, and TBH it struggled. Though it’s probably been optimised better since, I think development is ongoing. Still the best driving game I’ve played.
Honestly, I kinda want to play Stellar Blade to see if the gooner bait makes up for what I’ve heard about the gameplay, but I’m not gonna shell out actual money for it, especially since it’s got Denuvo.
Also, I know it hasn’t even been announced yet, because Metroid Prime 4 only just came out a couple months ago, but Metroid Prime 5. At this point, it would have to be a Switch 2 game, and I refuse to get one because fuck that game key card shit.
Shaun has a video essay on Stellar Blade. According to him, its very much “can I copy your homework” of Nier Automata, and some sekiro gameplay.
I have only played the the later 2. Nier Automata is something I will never forget, and (IMO) Sekiro is the best Fromsoft+Combat game. Highly recomend both of them
I like liked the look of Subnautica but because of my thalassophobia I can’t play it. Now I wouldn’t play it anyway after the bullshit that was reported last year.
However, I know that I’m in a precarious spot. With the brain damage I’ve already sustained, if I’m not pushing my brain as hard as I can, it’ll start falling apart.
Ori was pretty doable for me. It helps that death has no penalty and resuming is instant. But I couldn't get through Hollow Knight and I didn't even attempt Silksong. I'm too old for that shit. Literally, I don't have the reaction time anymore.
Yeah, same. And my hands are fucked up, and my reflexes slower. Shame, I used to like that sort of game when I was younger. Ho hum, plenty of other good stuff to play.
Split fiction. It looks solid and my friend and I need more games to play together that isn’t competitive pvp, but we both vote with our dollar and refuse to give EA any more money.
On one hand, yea you’re not giving EA money, which is a win. But on another, when you don’t buy a game like Split Fiction, they make less money on that product. Money is the only thing EA cares about, and they track how much a product makes. So, if a game like Split Fiction doesn’t make as much money, they probably would be less inclined to make it in the future. Then we get stuck with shit like Fifa/Apex, since you know people are going to spend money on that regardless.
So in the end I still buy stuff like It Takes Two, because I support that work. That game was amazing. However, I tend to buy them on sale.
There’s definitely an argument to be made for either your or my way. I feel if a lot more gamers were willing to vote with their dollar and be conscious about the ethics of the games/studios I might be more inclined to agree with you as it would have an actual impact. I realize I’m in the minority though based on how well FIFA does with each new version and so I know I’m not actually moving the dial at all. I decided for me I’ll keep the clear conscience and go play one of the other amazing games out there.
I did send an email through a contact page to hazelight too to let them know EA specifically cost them a customer. Doubt that information made it anywhere, but at least I try.
