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).

Electing Trump the first time was the equivalent of Brexit.

Electing him twice is the equivalent of setting your own home on fire, walking back inside while the house is still burning and taking a nap, hoping that the flames will only destroy your neighbour’s house.

I’m pretty sure they were doing that already.

Just give me a proper Xenogears remake with all the cut content from the second disc and I’ll die happy.

Thank you for putting so much effort into these posts. I rarely comment but I always read them. It feels like reading an informal short review of a random game every day, like having a friend telling me what they played the day before. Sometimes I even add the game to my wishlist.

You don’t need to ever interact with Galaxy to play your games, not even to download the offline installer. And the download option is not hidden on the website.

Ooh, seems really interesting. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve added it to my wishlist :)

This was not on my Bingo card.

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.

Is Halo Studios just 343 rebranded, or a new studio? I’m not up to date with Halo/Xbox news.

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.

Is this kind of horny-posting really necessary?

There are countless NSFW/barely NSFW communities out there, including a metric ton of anime pic communities. This has nothing to do with c/games.

At least tag it appropriately.

It’s insane that Nintendo feels the need to go after the strugglers that play on emulator, despite their console being the most successful on the market, still selling like crazy after almost a decade, and with the successor being one of the most anticipated consoles ever. That line must go up, even if it’s just an inch more.

Fuck Nintendo.

Lords of the Fallen - The Lords of the Fallen: The return of the Fallen Lords, Part 2/368

I remember playing MGS as a kid and thinking “graphics will never get better than this”.

It didn’t age well, but I still think of it as one of the most witchcraft-powered games I’ve ever played. I still can’t believe that they were able to craft such gorgeous environments and fluid, cinematic cutscenes on the PS1.

To his day, it’s still one of my favourite games ever.

Sony looking at the rotting corpse of Xbox and taking notes. But only the wrong ones.

Don’t you find it rather… situational?
