I’ll shill up for skill up’s website that spun up from his ‘This Week in Gaming’. He has some great coverage on indie games and always dedicates a segment to ‘put this on your radar’.
Paul Tassi from Forbes also has some really good takes and sources in the industry for those AAA games.
Is it bad that I legit think that Origins is the best in the Arkham series?
Like objectively Knight is a better looking game, and Asylum is a wonderfully crafted experience. But Origins is basically a better Arkham City and has a lot to offer.
The detective segments in particular are really well done and do a good job of leaning into the investigative aspects of Batman early in his career.
No, that’s a totally respectable opinion actually. I’d say it’s tied with City for my personal favorite. It hits the themes differently than the rest of the franchise but still is a great time. It makes a clever reuse of assets too which i love. I always love seeing a reuse of assets in games
I liked it, but similar to Elite they both seem to end up with a problem of “yeah, now what?” after playing for a while. Yet I have enjoyed other sandbox games like Wurm for many 1000s of hours, while Elite and NMS I only have 1200 and 400 hours in. Maybe the lack of multiplayer interaction? I know you can group up but doesn’t seem like something that really happens through gameplay alone.
Fuck yeah. I love No Man’s Sky. Whenever a new update launches me and a friend will just go and sink 10 ish hours into it just playing around. The game still has its issues, but I’ve had some genuine fun just immersing myself in the world and building bases and discovering things
I have played it a lot in the past. Used to log in again with every new update. But for some reason I haven’t touched it since late 2023. Just got a little busy with reading and other games. Though to be honest I can’t seem to work up the motivation to start it up again and I don’t really know why.
It has come such a long way since launch and I can only commend them for staying active for so long. The regular updates and expansions for a game that has no micro-transactions… it’s awesome. I would recommend at least trying it to anyone who’s even a tiny bit curious. Wait until it’s on sale and you can’t really go wrong.
Perhaps I will give it another go in the future. I can see I’ve missed a lot of new features.
Last time me and a buddy played we triggered enemies on a corrupted planet to earn parts to reclaim a sentient ship, but it was bugged so the enemies included corrupted and regular enemies and the ship at the end was 2 ships glitching into each other as they occupied the same location (one for each player).
I used to like No Man’s Sky. Then HG turned it into a beta test for their new game coming up and are either too lazy or too incompetent to fix the massive amount of long standing bugs and inconsistent shit
And their Reddit subs are full of kids that are willing to die on a hill- blindly defending HG as the be-all-end-all perfect example of competence in game development, all while ignoring the fact that they break shit constantly every time they release something they clearly never tested.
Or the boomers on Steam forums deflecting every criticism and trying to derail a thread by defending it as a “sandbox” game or not a bug, putting a post there is like controlling oversized children otherwise it devolves into dogpiling.
I played a lot of Elite, and tried No Man’s Sky recently. I get why somebody might like it, perhaps even more. It’s more fun. But perhaps a bit too “colorful” for me. I enjoyed the realistic touch of Elite.
But I cannot tell myself that yet another grind is what I need in my life.
It was apparently my top played game on PS5 this year because earlier in the year I got really into playing it while listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
