  • Thank you so much for writing these posts! Don’t worry about slowing down a bit, I’m way more interested in quality instead of them just devolving into a boring streak of daily screenshots, and most importantly, it’s supposed to be fun for you in the first place! It shouldn’t feel like a job! You can’t write good reviews of games if you are not enjoying playing them in the first place, or you’re prevented from fully enjoying them by the rush of finding a new title for tomorrow’s post.

    As for this one in particular, I’ve had it in my wishlist for quite a while. I’ve enjoyed most of Dontnod’s games and this one seems quite peculiar indeed. I heard a few divisive opinions on it, but you convinced me to give it a fair try.

    I’m not a US citizen, but happy veteran day!




  • Isn’t it the same as with every other entertainment system? I grew up with a big brother and a little sister. We only had one PS1, later one X360. We could either play in co-op, or take turns. Sometimes my father would also play on the console, and we’d do something else in the meantime.

    What’s different about the Switch? It’s an entertainment system. You insert the game, you play. I don’t have one, but I’m pretty sure it allows for different accounts to be created and each have their own save file, so there’s no need to buy multiple consoles/multiple copies of the same game. You can either play on the go, or hook it to the TV and play with the bigger screen. You are not forced to play party games just because you have a bigger screen, and you are not forced to treat it like a “personal device” just because you are playing on the smaller screen (I also despise the idea of “personal device” for kids: learning to share games is a very important lesson for kids).

    It’s rare to see a RPGmaker game with VA. I wonder how that happened. RPGmaker is the tool that you use when you don’t have money to spend on anything but still want to make a game.

    You got me curious. I’ll check it one of these days. I like narrative-heavy games and it seems right up my alley.



  • I’ve just checked the rules and yes it could have an NSFW tag even though no nudity is shown but that is a far cry from “has no place”

    Screenshots of a game have a place in this community when they are used to actually discussing the game. Which is the point a lot of these “daily screenshot” posts are missing. There is no discussion here because OP didn’t bother discussing anything, it’s just a random collection of pics. Unless you count “showing that the game has a player-controlled camera” as “demoing game mechanics”.

    I would 100% consider this a low-effort post, which is against the rules of c/games.
