The guys from Boy Boy made a really good and informative interview with David Mcbride. I recommend watching it also!

Man, I have to do this also. No idea why the algorithm doesn’t pick up on me not wanting to watch some idiot ranting about how videogames are woke or whatever.

Oh fuck, I had no idea Warhorse studios was also part of the whole Embracer mess! They better not kill the studio off! Now that we got to see a glimpse of the new Kingdom Come game I don’t know how I could handle the game being canceled.

Why is it the responsibility of, say, Nintendo to make all their games available on all platforms? They make their own hardware and games that are optimized to run on that hardware. Sure, the Switch is inferior to a modern pc in performance and all that but at the end of the day Nintendo chose what their hardware can do and make games accordingly. The fact that most developers and publishers want to release their games on all platforms is not the responsibility of Nintendo. If the most important thing is that every game runs the same on every platform there is no need for hardware like the Switch, which, like it or not, has done something new and interesting. Kinda the same with VR. I personally don’t care for VR but it’s at least something different.

I totally agree with you on the fact that people act like Capcom murdered their grandma or something. There is no need to make stuff up when the facts are bad enough on their own. I guess one reason people are so upset is the fact that microtransactions can be an actual and dangerous addiction to some people and are usually only found in multi-player games or straight up casino type stuff. Dragons Dogma is a beloved game and cult hit for a reason and this whole thing absolutely taints it’s “reputation”.

Anyway, I think it’s great you seem to still enjoy the game and that’s what matters at the end of the day. Cheers!

Not defending the mx in Dragons Dogma 2 but at least in the first one I think the way fast travel works was kinda good. It’s cumbersome and not very flexible but it fits the kind of game it is and you have to actually think about where you want to go instead of zipping around the map. Imo

Sounds more like an inconvenience store to me.

The first one is a bit of a hidden gem imo. I thoroughly enjoyed the investigation part and walking around the city! They managed to capture a sense of ‘there is a story around every corner’. Combat does the job but not much more. Also: the way you have to make a choice which lead you want to follow on the map is a great way how they de-cluttered it. I hope the second game is just as good and better than the first one!

I played Call of Duty 3 on my Wii, so that’s one more platform. It’s also the only CoD I spent a considerable amount of time with.

It’s like falling asleep while two friends are talking on the other end of the room.

I personally don’t care a lot about Kojima’s games but I still think it’s absolutely great he gets to make whatever he makes because he is a unique voice in gaming! In a sea of games as a service, mindless franchise milking and countless copycats someone like him is needed to make outlandish stuff, whether I like the games or not. Tons of people do and that’s great!

It’s a joke! This website tries to be funny/satire.

Just in case no one bothered to check: This website is satire. The list is not there, because that’s the joke. Not a good one but, oh well.

If you don’t believe me: From the About section:

Hard Drive is a very real video games news site that you should not question. Just absorb the information as truth and move on. JK it’s satire don’t ban us.

Aw man… I know that Elex has problems and stuff but it is and always will be one of my all-time favorite open world games. It’s probably the insane mix of science fiction stuff mixed with Mad Max style stuff mixed with fantasy stuff. It’s definitely a game done by people who really cared! And if they have to shut down, the gaming landscape will lose a unique voice!

Knowledge Fight! Pretty much the only I regularly listen to. It’s two friends listening to Alex Jones. The premise is that one of them knows nothing about the insane stuff Alex Jones spouts and the other one has researched it and kinda shows it to Jordan (the one who knows nothing about Alex). They are hundreds of episodes and the show is still as funny and informative as day one.

Just as a heads up: No Man’s Sky has the creative mode where the whole survival stuff and the mindless basic material collecting is pretty much turned off. My daughter and I went on relaxing treasure hunts just the other day, jumping between solar systems and walking around on dangerous surfaces without grinding stuff first. It is a do-what-you-want game at this point.

Yeah! I played it something like two years ago and it aged wonderful! I mean, I wish them all the success in the world but this game doesn’t actually need a remake

Man, I so wanted to love this game! Instead I just liked it. The graphics, the world, music, even the story are so well made and interesting to look at and explore. I loved the mining town at the beginning or the town with the ghost house! The only thing holding this game back is the somewhat stale level design between the interesting places you explore. They feel like flat 2d Zelda dungeons with a handful of frustrating design decisions to make them harder and take longer to finish. Still, I will probably get the DLC to show support for the devs and the interesting world they created!

Edit: Jesus fucking christ! I watched the trailer after commenting and didn’t see they made a Harvest Moon/Stardewvalley style DLC! Day one purchase!

Eh, there is a ton of content creators who make cool stuff and don’t endanger other people.

No Mans Sky still to this day sells pretty good. Sure, they don’t sell a million copies every week but Hello Games is pretty small and they can comfortably keep pumping out content even if they only sell, say, 15k per month. And given how NMS is still talked about so frequently, how they launched for the Switch recently (my second copy btw) and how well received the VR was, I think that number is pretty reasonable.
