  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Are videogames for children?

This describes Anomalyfags rather well. To them making shit excessively difficult is "balance". Because to them, the game being difficult to the point of being bullshit is "fun".
I really have to wonder if I'm just utterly shit at Anomaly sometimes (despite being all the original games on Master or whatever) or these kinds of guys just play with quicksave/quickload bound to their scroll wheel. Some of the stuff I've seen in these mods are just absurd. Misery and its consequences, etc.

951,000 kills left and the rocket tunnel is making me go deaf.

It skeletonizes people real good though.
 
Playing Death Stranding for the first time and it's so weird. I'm familiar and enjoy a Kojima title so I was expecting it, but even then. The game isn't really fun, per say, but it's still interesting enough to keep me engaged and if nothing else it knows how to do tension right.

I finished Monochrome Mobius and holy shit that was one of the best RPGs I played in a long time. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it has a lot of references to the Utawarerumono franchise but that's about it. I looked into reviews about the game and of course it's all trannies talking about how problematic it is and how dare a game by small dev have bad graphics. Total Game Journo Death can't come fast enough.

But yeah, highly recommend the game for having fun combat, great character interactions and managing to be a prequel that slots really well into an established series due to the strength of the writing in the original. Hopefully we get a continuation to he cliffhanger.
 
I've gotten into playing multiplayer games with strangers again for the first time since college, and the Internet has changed so fundamentally since then. I don't think I'm being unreasonable by not wanting to be forced to play along with a tranny, but any sizeable guild or clan or whatever has at least one.

The hours I'm playing at these days have a considerable number of Russian players, and I'm considering trying to join one of their groups.

Like, I will literally learn fucking Russian if it means that, in my leisure time, I don't have to deal with a histrionic autistic man insisting on being called "Josephine" and the gay retarded zoomers who freak out if I don't treat him like a True and Honest Woman.
 
Do Steam keys work if the game is not available in the store anymore? Namely DiRT Rally. I played Pike's Peak at my friend's house and it was really, really fun, and now I wanna do it at home. I only have a PC though, and physical copies of the game apparently don't exist anymore on the planet. For PC, that is, for PS4 there would be plenty. Thing is, Steam keys for it are readily available. Would I be throwing money away buying a Steam key?
 
Finished the Star Ocean 2 remake on PC and it was a fun little trip down memory lane, lasted about 30 hours total and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The new visuals and QOL stuff make it well worth a purchase if you enjoyed it in the PS1 days or just enjoy a JRPG in general.
I really want to get this one. I just picked up Star Ocean Divine Force which I'll give a go once I've finished some trophy hunting for Blasphemous.
 
I'm looking for a review/playthrough video of an adventure game. It's somewhere on Youtube. It is set in contemporary times, sort of like Broken Sword, it might take place in france, it is not the Druids game.

What stood out was that the person writing the script obviously did not know english so it was completely broken BUT the english voice actors just recorded the lines without changing anything. I thought it was Mandalore that did that one but it's not on his channel.

What game(s) are you playing? There are a few titles that normal Russians don't play (like LoL).

It was definitely worth the cost, especially if you'd played the original years back, but still a great entry into the franchise for new people.

Awesome. I'm a total newbie to the series, so this will be a trip for me. It's one of those series that I've looked at from a distance with interest but never checked it out.

I didn't know they had made a remake, it looks good and I loved the original.
Is it just a graphical update or did they change the script/story as well?

It's pretty much identical to the PSP version script wise. Dialogue has all been re-recorded and they added a ton of quality of life stuff like combat challenges that give you tons of rewards, fast travel and the ability to see when and where new private actions are available, an ending tracker since there are like 90 different endings, they reworked the crafting system and it's much better, etc.

My biggest issue with it was probably the arranged soundtrack. It was fine, but felt like a step down from the original. Like they just added a bunch of orchestral flourishes to each track before it got to the parts that people will have loved and remembered from the original soundtrack.

Thanks for the rundown! I'll be picking it up, the PS1 original has a special place in my heart, probably the best RPG I played on that system.
