Thanks for reminding me about Frostpunk 2 and the inevitable fuckup/downgrade 11-bit will do to the sequel.

tbf the first game gets boring after a while once you reach a certain point so hopefully thats something mitigated with the second one by giving you slightly more shit to do like working with other settlements or some shit who knows

Anyone happen to know any decent PS4/PS5 games where you can play as a mage? The only ones I can think of right now are some of the Soulsborne games (Demon's Soul, Dark Soul 1, 2, and 3, and Elden Ring). Anyone have any suggestions?

a mage like gandalf? or some isekai-level?
for the latter there are some SAO games, and immortals of aveum just released, which could probably count as mage too...

doesn't affect him playing it.

besides, it's so retarded, not to mention legally questionable, I don't expect it to ever get implemented - if that was the goal in the first place, and not some "we heard you, we're changing it, see how great we are" 5d PR move. damage is done anyway.
EU alone will probably have a field day with it, I can already see some belgian rubbing his hands looking forward to the fine...

Probably like Gandalf, yeah; swinging a staff or book around, casting spells at things, that kind of mage.

You can try the Kingdoms of Amalur remaster. It's pretty generic fantasy slop but I enjoyed playing as a pure mage. Outward is also fun if you can get past the initial autistic learning curve.

The furore is fuelled by a PC playerbase who are fed up with the state of the game on their platform, with anger coming to a head now the latest game has come out. Steam reviewer akuzi summed up the sentiment: "I stopped playing the game with the release of 2K22. I wanted to give 2K another chance after two years and once again, I was disappointed. The gameplay and animations are the same as in the previous versions. Once again, there's only the current-gen version available for PC, which I don't understand. The main menu and the textures of the park still look very cheap as always. What annoys me the most is the abundance of cheaters in the park since day one.

"Purchase recommendation, definitely no!"

Another Steam reviewer wrote: "This game is essentially the same as the previous title with no new features or any improvement at all, and 2K even dare to charge with full price with updated roster? Man, this is so bad."

On the dreamcast guy, just took the time to watch the video, and I'm still not 100% sure on what he was trying to say. That he ordered six million dollars worth of dreamcasts, and then GameCrazy decided to stall on paying to stop the bleeding on their shitty ebay knockoff?

I always viewed GameCrazy as like a third tier outlet, I originally bought used games at Blockbuster, but they were beat up rental copies with those damn stickers on. GameStop seemed like a godsend, where people would trade in their shit and I'd get it cheap.

I honestly think I hit swap meets before I went to Game Crazy. Their prices were high and the games tended to be stripped completely.

The fact they may have been a dagger in the throat of Sega is interesting, and not something I had ever considered before. I do think it's weird that Sega would agree to rent the systems out BEFORE the retail launch. Nintendo once compared game rentals at blockbuster to rape.

I also feel the dude could have made that a five-minute video, all of his "incredible journey" and the summary of Sega from 1991 to 1995 seemed unnecessary.

And to think that Overwatch 2 is still the #1 worst rated game on Steam, and being worse than a typical copy-paste annual sports game, showed how badly Blizzard has shit the bed in recent years.

You don't get it that was totally a organized review bombing campaign by homophobes Chinks TF2 fanboys. It has nothing to do with the fact that Blizzard is a scummy company which cut out the main selling point for overwatch 2 because it was too much work and decided to add a season pass instead.

Marcel Vos, Rollercoaster Tycoon YouTuber puts up a video celebrating Pride (in September, of all times):

He's done gay rainbow patterns in some of his park demonstrations before, but never really had something like this. We all know how this is gonna go, and it's probably safe to say he will continue to double down forever.

Here is his face reveal video from 2019:

It's a shame, because I enjoyed his previous videos exploring just how ridiculous you could take things in RCT2, like rides that last longer than the age of the universe, or cramming thousands of people into a single restroom to generate billions of dollars in an hour. I'm not even the biggest RCT fan, his videos were just randomly suggested and interesting. But, of course, you can't escape the ever-rising rainbow tide. It's not even like most of his subscribers are there for/watch his "Let's Play"-esque videos, just like most people don't watch decino for his blind playthroughs of Doom WADs, but for the informational content examining game mechanics. But owning those chuds is more important than having people watch your content, I guess.

Yeah, I've been a fan of his for a while. I'm pretty disappointed to see him take this path, though I guess it's to be expected, considering he's a zoomer European STEM student. If he makes another video where he doubles down, I'll make a thread.

I played this game on the Nintendo DS recently, and I must say that it is almost addicting. There was also a button where you can blow yourself up and try again, yet all I kept thinking was that I thought it was a child’s game at first.

Fun, but slightly graphic when you see it.

Quite a history on this game. A lot of us in computer lab were playing it like 18 years ago.

Then you have to give Dragons Dogma Sorcerer a try. No game yet has been able to create the world ending, end boss level like spells to the player like Dragon's Dogma did.

+1 for DD-DA. The two pure-mage classes aren't my thing because of how their gameplay works, but I have to admit Mages/Sorcerers are absolutely invaluable HM Slaves for the party and can easily 1-hit endgame/expansion enemies if they're given time to charge their spells properly and the enemy in question isn't extremely magic resistant.

DD-DA was also the only game I played before Elden Ring that made playing as a Warrior-Mage hybrid actually fun. I've replayed DD-DA a good 20 times over the years just due to how fucking baller it is to play as the Mystic Knight literally perfect parrying everyone to death, and warrior-maging never felt that good again until ER added lightsaber magic Carian/Glintblade Sorceries.

I could easily make some 3-hour autistic videogame analysis on Dragon's Dogma, and I'm genuinely concerned the sequel won't live up to the first game in the same way I'm concerned STALKER 2 won't live up to all the STALKER sandbox fan games.

For Context, this is what happened the last time Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo back in 2004

Steve [Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft from 2000 to 2014] made us go meet with Nintendo to see if they would consider being acquired”, Bachus recalls. “They just laughed their asses off. Like, imagine an hour of somebody just laughing at you. That was kind of how that meeting went.
