In Japan PCs always had this weird association with porn, and Japan wouldn’t be Japan without all the antiquated traditionalism, so PCs fell out of favor for a while. Now that they’ve noticed PC as a gaming platform prints money in ludicrous amounts they’ve started changing their minds… So it’s a matter of time until the boomer execs get a stroke or something and younger people take their jobs, really.
Weird, considering how low quality Japanese porn games usually are, and how big the porn industry in Japan generally is.
This is precisely the reason why though, in Japan porn games have existed since the introduction of the home computer and they flourished because of the lack product standards in the platform. With the release of the Famicon, consoles started getting really popular to the point where many devs and consumers stopped buying PCs for gaming, and since Nintendo (among others) enforced strict standards porn games obviously weren’t allowed on their platforms. After a while, because of this shift most games available on PC were Visual Novels, many of them having porn in it in some form or another, so the platform got increasingly associated with pornography and a stigma was created.
They got really super pissed off at being called out about it, then had geoff come out and try to twist the valid criticism into an attack on his miraculously convenient Erectile Dysfunction.
Dredge comes to mind. It’s a nice game and all, but outside of the two endings (which are basically a choose left or right situation) you see pretty much everything there’s to see in a single playthrough.
I love Doom 2, it’s one of my favorite shooters in part to it’s modding community. The official episodes are all fine and dandy, but some of the megawads people have made in the past truly elevate the game to a whole new level. Case in point, Eviternity 2 is absolutely amazing.
This is crazy, between this and Gearbox leaving they’re almost dismantling in front of our eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like this in the gaming industry, at least not in this scale.
If you have more than a couple of neurons you don’t need me to explain why I hate Nintendo, unless you’re a corporate bootlicker who thinks Nintendo can do no wrong. If you really can’t fathom why anyone would hate them, then all you gotta do is Google “Nintendo anticonsumer” and you’ll have reading material for the whole week.

Penny’s Big Breakaway is a 3D platformer developed by the team behind Sonic Mania. Really looking forward to playing this one, John from Digital Foundry had nothing but glowing praise for it.
Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful...
That’s a tricky one, but if I had to pick, maybe Ashley from Mass Effect. She’s very insubordinate and disrespectful towards you, I hate her speciesism and (fittingly enough) she’s a Bible thumping Christian, whenever she opens her mouth I wish I could eject her through the airlock. It doesn’t help that you can’t deny her joining the team or even kick her out, safe to say that whenever I get to Virmire I always kill her without even thinking twice.
This is exciting! A gaming handheld from a great open source hardware company that makes SBCs like the RP5. It looks to have all the quality features and combines the best of all the handhelds I’ve seen. This has me really excited....
Nah man, that’s just entitlement. Wanting your $50 game to work well when you buy it is peak entitlement, you should be happy your game is running at 10fps with your 4080 RTX.
I don’t always play female characters, but I can think of a few reasons:
With rare exceptions I just prefer how the female characters look, be it prettier or cuter, they usually have way better character customization than the male counterparts.
Female clothing and equipment in games also just look more stylish and flamboyant, especially in Japanese ones.
And honestly I just like playing as someone different from me, if I can’t choose to be an alien or whatever, then the next best thing is a woman.
I had completely forgotten about this. Such an interesting idea, especially considering Fallout is so “American”, I wonder if it’ll work out and still feel like Fallout or just a derivative.
God I miss Unreal Tournament, why can’t we have multiplayer games like this again? Just a silly fun multiplayer shooter with lots of options on how to play and no greedy shit on top.
You’re not alone, I think most people already forgot about it. In a way it’s a good thing, because with low expectations it’s much harder to end up in a situation like No Man’s Sky or Cyberpunk 2077 where the expectations were unachievably high.
Frankly this doesn’t look very impressive, you can basically get the same experience by playing standard System Shock 2 with an HD texture mod, they should’ve at least improved the 3D models. If this was a free update for owners on Steam and etc I wouldn’t complain, but as it stands it just feels lazy.
Just gonna say that their RSS feed is kind of wack at least on my readers, I can’t read the articles through my apps, only the headlines and the first couple article lines.
If you’re into pro wrestling, there’s the Newlegacyinc boys, they do playthroughs and streams of wrestling (and wrestling adjacent) games. I’m not even really into wrestling and I still find them very entertaining, their streams of MDickie wrestling games are top tier.
