lol I remember discovering this website as a kid, thinking I could stop buying strategy guides for like 10 to 20 bucks, then proceeding to print like 60 pages at a time. Bless my mom for not complaining about the paper and ink!

Printers worked better back then. Also the cartridges came with more ink lol

Coincidentally, i was just thinking about this site the other day because i was so sick of video walkthroughs!

The only time I like a video walkthrough is for some visual based puzzles because screenshots aren’t always precise enough.

The other 99 percent? Screw that, gone a step by step guide damn it!

Big shout-out to the absolute GOAT CyricZ, who has perfect guides for every single Yakuza game in existence.

CosmoNova, do games w Krafton is now an 'AI-first company,' will spend $70 million on a GPU cluster to 'serve as the foundation for accelerating the implementation of agentic AI'

And I will continue to not play their games.

Covenant, do games w If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing'

Aah Peter, that fucking lying hype cunt!

Midnitte, do gaming w Vampire Survivors-like Megabonk makes megabucks, selling a million copies in 2 weeks, and currently has more daily players than Borderlands 4 on Steam

Get embarrassed, Randy Pitchfork.

Fizz, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Thats not a good sign. I’m choosing to take that as EAs values were already so bad that nothing is going to change after being taken over by a trump Saudi investment firm.

mic_check_one_two,

I’m choosing to read it as “we only bought it to get kernel-level access to millions of computers. Don’t worry about why we want that.”

glitchdx, do games w Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'

holy shit that looks bad.

If you have deus ex through steam, you can also get revision through steam and revision looks pretty good in my opinion.

dom, do games w Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect

I would be far more open to mo they subscriptions if I didnt have to pay for the game upfront.

I would probably play wow and pay monthly if i didnt have to pay for the game and all the expansions as well as the subscription.

Just too much money imo for what I would get out of the experience

BarbecueCowboy,

Not saying it’s entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.

dom,

Oh that’s good to know. I wasn’t aware of that

Nikls94, do games w 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'

Eh. I didn’t even finish borderlands 3. won’t bother getting 4

MrJ199414, do games w 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'

They toned down the humor, which imo wasn’t the problem they needed to write better jokes, and write better villains.

The entire plot feels like an extra long side mission which is basically, “Go Rescue Lilith.” They have been teasing something “big” is coming and that they need to prepare for war since the pre sequel. We have gotten now two new main installments, two “tales”, and a fucking spin-off since then. Yet they still keep teasing this “big” thing. I wish they’d move the narrative along already.

luciferofastora,

Once that big thing happens, they can no longer milk the anticipation

chunes, do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

Meanwhile I’ve done five or six playthroughs of Freelancer while this game has been in development and had more fun than I’ll ever have with Star Citizen.

Scam Shitizen.

I guess if it’s any consolation, our real world space efforts are also largely even more behind schedule than usual, thanks Elon.

@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

Color me surprised. I still think this whole thing is a big scam, like a money laundering scheme or some grift.

@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

If you look into the history of Chris Roberts you’ll know it’s not a scam. Roberts is one of the few creatives I’d say actually needs an executive board to hold him back, because he’ll never stop and actually finish something.

I don’t think there’s a single project Roberts has finished on his own accord. He has always been made to finish.

Sigh deeply, rub their foreheads, and open their wallets.

Rai,
