And they made it such a pain in the ass when you adjust the sliders to maximize the charitable donation and then the cut for the content provider. Like, let me just put in amounts so I can max out the charity donation, minimize the payment to Humble, and give the rest to the content provider.
Thanks for putting this together, I got to watch a decent amount on Saturday but missed pretty much all of yesterday. Skullgirls is such an awesome game it’s too bad it doesn’t get more love.
I was walking along and suddenly my character starts coughing violently. Vision starts to fade and she collapses to the ground, dead. There’s no text to tell me what happened....
Random Nintendo execs show up to your house unannounced.
“We would like to play”
You stare at them blankly for a beat then shut the door in their faces. This is your time away from the world and its demands. No one will take that away from you.
As an aside, they also recently announced that their handhelds will now have a 2 year warranty because there was a big controversy in how they handled repairs.
As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....
This just makes me angry. You need to write comments and get likes before you’re able to make posts. Most of the posts in that community could pass as boomer-Facebook-posts from what I’ve seen. The quality definitely went more downhill than Tony Hawk‘s Downhill Jam....
I’m gonna go with one from 2012 itself and say Torchlight II. I just don’t understand why other ARPGs aren’t copying the “pet to town” system so I can stay in the zone rather than spending forever sorting my inventory. It’s not perfect but imo it’s still the best that genre’s ever seen.
My brain autocorrected the typo in the image but I caught it before reading the comments, then it auto"corrected" the top comment to match the fix for the post, but this time I didn’t catch it til you pointed it out.
My favorite games are Omori, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds. I cried for hours at the end of those games, and I think the common point in them is high-quality emotional writing and stellar OST (music really affect me) and my attachment to the characters....
I’m not super familiar with the examples you gave but I’m gonna say anything from Supergiant Games: Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, Hades. Fantastic music always, I would say the storytelling is done best in Transistor and Hades.
In a bad-vibes moment, they’re denying a huge outlet like IGN a review code. No matter what I think of IGN in particular (nothing good tbh), that’s not something I can find a real explanation for other than “We made DC’s Gollum and want to avoid bad press as long as we can”.
“But, we chased all the trends, even if they were incongruous with the property! Why don’t people want our game Uncle Phil? Oh well, time to go bury it, maybe we can get a tax write off for this like the Batgirl movie.”
Alternatively: “We’ve changed nothing after all the negative feedback, and we’re all out of ideas.”
Adding a bit more to the discussion on whether game subscription can be “the future”, it looks like despite the heavy push made in the past decade, subscriptions only make up 10% of total video game spending in the US....
Final Fantasy XI, both getting access to Sea and finishing the last chapter of Chains of Promathia, when it was still fairly uncommon to have progressed that far in that expansion.
