“I don’t think enough people are across just how catastrophic an entire generation being raised on Roblox and Fortnite is going to be for the ENTIRE video game industry, not just the AAA end,” wrote Aftermath editor (and Sports! guest) Luke Plunkett on Bluesky recently. “These kids have no interest in playing or paying...
Fuck Rockstar. I changed my email accounts a few years ago but forgot to change Rockstar first. This wasn’t a problem. Now, after buying GTA V on Xbox and Steam and sinking a lot of time into it over two accounts, they added some mandatory launcher on Steam that forces you to login to their Social Club. Mandatory launcher...
I recently had the good fortune to interview the two developers of CrankBoy - an emulator for the Playdate console which allows users to play original Game Boy games on there (and yes, you can use that crank to play them!)...
Today’s game is Super Mario Galaxy. This is the attempt. I’m going to beat it this time… probably. I said the same things every other time. But I have the thing I’m playing it on all to myself in the evenings, so literally, I have no excuse....
Maybe make dialogue between “Find the dwemer puzzle box, it’s… uhhh… somewhere” and “GO [fast travel] TO PLACE X, KILL Y IN ROOM NUMBER 6 AND DONT FORGET TO COME BACK WITH THE EVIL SWORD OF DARKNESS [automatically picked up by your character] [a yellow marker appears on your minimap and field of view, with a magic trail leading you to the quest location]”
for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.
The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process....
So i used to play standard minecraft many years ago when i was a kid but then i got very burnt out and havent played it sense. Minecraft has a bigger community/mods than minetest, but minetest is a neat little lua project. How do i decide? what would you suggest?
Today’s the Day! The 1 year anniversary. Today’s game is Halo 3, I decided the best way to celebrate with a new year would be by kicking back and relaxing with some of my friends. We have here what we call our Spartan B-Team. We suck absolute ass, and are the last ones they’d call for the job. But we’re… we’re...
I’m kinda sick of walking around Witcher 3’s world looking like Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. I’m supposed to be a gruff and grizzled monster hunter, living in a filthy world and at the bottom of the social hierarchy, dishing out menacing threats in a monotone voice, yet I’m dressed in pristine baby blue prince pyjamas...
If you don’t like it just don’t use this feature, it doesn’t even give an unfair advantage. It’s like complaining that Arthur Morgan can go get a haircut in RDR2
It doesn’t make quests easier, your analogy is bad.
The ability to bypass this by transferring stats between items so you can have optimal build does make the game easier.
I could use those items either way but they are unaesthetic. I cannot comprehend your POV on this. It doesn’t hurt you, doesn’t make your game worse it just gives an option to the people who want it.
This is probably going to seem wildly low-effort compared to my usual posts here, but I’ve found a bit of a treasure trove of print media gaming ads from magazines and sites. And they’re amazing. I found it so fun to see what companies used to do to promote their games....
Or you could reward CDPR for maintaining support and releasing a wonderful DLC for it with a purchase on a platform that lets you own your games (and is incidentally owned by CDPR too)
