That’s pretty much how the games are, too.

Who the hell is the random psycho just chilling with the main characters? Did they just add the dude from the game covers to the main cast like he’s actually a character?

DLC for which of the games?

Maybe it’s that thing from Star Trek: Generations that trapped Kirk.

It’s a reboot. They could definitely turn it into a AAA budget production. Maybe make it an open world GTA clone, like the Yakuza series; where 90% of the game is side activities that don’t even involve driving a taxi.

Hold up… Battle Royale in CRAZY TAXI? GaaS wouldn’t be surprising, but that last bit gives me doubts. Then again… It’s an arcade game. I suppose instead of a high score table, it could be an elimination thing… 🤔

I really don’t care. I’m fine playing genderless shapes (and if PacMan didn’t have “man” in his name nobody would even know he was a he) if the game is fun. Even when finishing the first Metroid back when I was a kid and discovering Samus was a woman didn’t really blow my mind like it did for so many others.

The only time I care is when it actually matters in the game. Such as Fallout 2 and being able to skip fighting the Slavers to rescue Vic but only as a woman, or older FPS games where the smaller frame of a female model came with a smaller hitbox, or even Demon’s Souls where male and females have different armor sets so my gender changes with my build.

They need something that both looks good on a shelf and is harder to just slip into a pocket.

Not having an N64 or a copy of that game stops me.

This and the other WWE games on N64 is why I went through so many controllers… A lot of them had you spinning the stick to get out of stuff and it would wear down the springs until the stick was worthlessly flaccid. 😩

I remember liking this game, but can’t remember if it was the one that’s like a combination of Burnout and Trials or the one like Stuntman Behind the Wheel but actually good. 🤔

I actually dislike most adaptive game music because most games that use that term just use it for having combat music that swaps in dynamically when you’re near a hostile mob.

The games where the music is just a combination of things based on what’s going on, however, are fucking dope as hell. It’s not something I see (er… Hear) all that often though which is disappointing.

It’s awesome when you notice that you can affect the music that’s playing by jumping or doing specific attacks/actions or based on how many/what kind of enemies are around, etc and not just “the music is this now because you’re fighting.”

The voice acting has quite a range of stereotyped accents. Nothing they say is overtly racist, but the over the top accents themselves are insensitive.

Torchlight 1 and 2 (diablo 1 and 2 but better)

Path of Exile (diablo the MMO)

Titanquest (my personal favorite non-diablo diablo game)

The Ascent (diablo with guns!)

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance (D&D diablo on consoles)

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (Fallout Diablo on consoles)

And so many more… There was a time in the 90’s after the success of Diablo 1 where everyone and their mother was making clones of Diablo.

Because this is about the 4th recent trailer I’ve seen playback at this weird slow frame rate: is it just me? The Death Stranding 2 trailer was also slow and choppy like this but it was super early footage so I just assumed it was from that, but now I’m wondering if a setting is messed up on my browser.

I’ve never looked at that before so I’m not sure what it means that more than 80% of the frames were being dropped. Is that bad?

This kinda stuff makes me wonder how animations work that they can do all that without it being done on purpose.

The only numbers I dislike in games are the kind that fly off things when you attack them. That shit is visually annoying and I hate every game that uses it without an option to turn it off outside of old turn-based JRPGs. So I totally understand that.

They’re not meaningless, per se, but most of the time you also have a gauge indicating health and it’s far less distracting than a ton of numbers flying off obscuring the action.

So they really did copy Sea of Thieves. 🤔

Or is it even worse than that was on launch?

The real SMB2 was on Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES and I gotta say… The reskinned Doki Doki Panic is a better game.

Even back then, when you jumped onto the first enemy and just… Stood on them instead of killing them was pretty different.

Curious about something, I installed Dragon’s Dogma since I had it from sometime it was given out free. It wasn’t what I thought it was. I must’ve confused it with this other game because I’m actually getting into DD here. Still no clue what the name of the game I was confusing it for is though.

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

That’s the thing; I’m not even sure they had a similar name. I had thought that Dragon’s Dogma was this Monster Hunter knock-off built on the Source engine. I didn’t care much for it so just wrote it off until I saw a video on DD2 which also showed the first game and made me go “huh… That’s not what I remember.” lol

Street Fighter feels better as a competitive game and Mortal Kombat has always felt more button-mashy and arcade like.

I never really liked Mortal Kombat’s game play over Street Fighter because of this. I’ve continued with Street Fighter to modern times, but having not really cared for it back with the original trilogy, I haven’t touched modern MK games much.

I do however like the lore and story for the MK games way more than SF. I watch all the movies and anime and stuff; those are way more fun for me than the games lol

Didn’t Aragorn have to tell those ghost dudes he was the king to get them to fulfill their oath? 🤔

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

I kinda figured those rumors were bullshit. They may be secretive, but Fromsoft still wouldn’t just quietly release a major dlc for one of the biggest titles they’ve ever made.

Shit must be massive for it to take this long, though, without much news other than a title, and two updates that they are still working on it.

Is this why the site was down for maintenance almost all day the other day? I just wanted to log in and see if I owned a game on there or not and was getting time out errors most of the day. Tried in the evening and loaded to a message about extra maintenance because they were migrating to a new system (and still couldn’t log in to check anything).

I have to admit, upon seeing the teaser for this I thought it was live action for some parts.

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

There was no gameplay; it was just a tech teaser that showed a bunch of digitized actors looking super realistic (mostly).

All I can think of is a Donald Glover bit where he said he had a fear of someone just putting a gun on him and telling him to put his dick in his butt and came to realization he can just tuck underneath instead of trying to reach around his waist. So I’m incapacitated by laughter to think of my own times this has happened.

They saw it was called Acquire, and so they did.

I haven’t played the first to really compare them, but as someone who hasn’t really been into the old school Squaresoft style RPG for a long time: It’s fantastic.

Can’t vouch for performance or technical stuff on PC, but I was checking out Lost Judgment on PS+ after hearing a lot about the Yakuza series and I’m loving it. It’s kinda like Shenmue, but with real, good combat and not QTEs. Or a Japanese GTA with all the extra side stuff you can do as you wander around the neighborhoods the game takes place in. I definitely want to check out the others in the series now.

Infinite looks just as good, but I am probably going to go backwards because I am not sure if I would like the new turn based combat system. I like the more Sifu-ish combat.

It’s literally every game. The only thing being omitted is the how and why adding flavor and context to going from A to B.

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

You can go to a virtual titty bar and see virtual titties.

Point A is not the titty bar and point B is the titty bar. That’s why it’s number 1. It’s also why you’re murdering everything in your way and trying to get to B as fast as possible. Because it’s a titty bar.

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

Like Tetris or one of those Eye Spy games? Games where you go nowhere, or do nothing? Guarantee, you’re still moving something from A to B. Even if it’s just the mouse cursor.

Best ending dialogue to a video game ever.

“It’s time to punch a mountain… Into space!”

If not for Planescape being on there I would have assumed they meant only more recent games. No Jade Empire. No KOTOR. Not even Neverwinter Nights or Fallout 1 & 2 or Icewind Dale. Let alone all the classic SSI Goldbox games or even Bard’s Tale (the original from the 80’s not that shit on Xbox).

I got bored with chess so I started playing Shogi. It’s the same thing, but different.

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

I had no intention of getting it after finding out it’s less like Pokemon with guns and more like Rust with Pokemon, but a friend got it for me a few days ago.

I am already bored. I never got into shit like Rust or Ark before, either. The loop is the same, except with the addition of capturing critters to use as laborers in your base or to help in combat; not the sole means of combat and relying on them sucks because you don’t command them like you do in Pokemon but like you would in Elder Scrolls with AI about as smart. You level up to learn new tech that ultimately just helps you do higher level areas or lower level areas faster.

I think with most players it is just going to be forgotten in a few months; but the people who really like Rust and Ark and things like that, will keep Palworld going a long time because it is, at least on a technical standpoint, better than those and does have quite a lengthy tech tree to unlock. Plus it’s cuter.

Too bad you can’t dodge or move out of the way for shit. And some of them (especially bosses and shineys) are so big, it fucks with aiming.

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

With how the purple elk things (I’m so bad at remembering the names lol) double jump, I immediately thought of Torrent from Elden Ring. You can dodge on him (kinda) and doing it that way would at least feel like you’re not just taking a huge disadvantage by fighting mounted to control the attacks.

Kolanaki, 9 miesięcy temu

Whoa what the fuck? How does it even work? It looked like you can control the direction the floor itself is moving the things on it (the way they are “force pushing” the box or when the old guy is in the chair) but it also looked like it wasn’t even moving, or uses power.

This shit looks like magic.
