That seems pretty reductive IMO. Like RE7 and RE8 are genuinely good returns to form for the series. The RE2 and RE4 releases are remakes which by most standards improve the original releases and bring them into the current generation.

Then throw in the Phoenix Wright games, Monster Hunter games, Dragon’s Dogma games, Street Fighter games, DMC…

I would argue Capcom has been on a tear of very good games, especially in the last 5 years.

So you don’t like turn based games? Unless I’m misunderstanding

You might like FF7 Remake, the combat is sort of a hybrid where it’s mostly realtime but you can give commands via a turn menu mid combat too

Bang on, just a pity so many game devs are still pretty lazy with the support (I get it, it’s still a pretty niche aspect)

Highly recommend Millie Holton’s other stuff like the animated Long Head shorts, especially if you’re into weird Adult Swim type stuff

I recommend Portal Revolution too. It felt closer to a genuine 3 story.

Portal Reloaded was great but also quite complex compared to the first two games and I think most people who liked 1 and 2 would find it frustratingly difficult at times.

It’s not.

I’m still pretty early on but the dialogue is awful, and the two main characters are authors whose best ideas for novels amount to trolls and cyber ninjas. Not exactly unique or inspiring books guys. (Maybe this is some sort of point or satire I haven’t hit yet but I doubt it)

At least, like It Takes Two, the gameplay is reasonably enjoyable, particularly if you’re playing with someone who doesn’t play games a lot. It’s flashy in that Uncharted sort of way that will make them go “whoa cool”.

Sidenote, are these frames any good? Aura seems to advertise on a few podcasts I listen to but I’m curious how people in the real world feel about them

I think this is a tacit admission from Nintendo that they consider the Steam Deck a competitor. Whereas for so long they have really not considered either Sony or Microsoft as competitors in their space.

If it brings more PC M+K style games to the Switch then that is only a good thing for the consumer I think, and there may even be a plus side for stuff like Metroid Prime 4 having mouse aim which would be cool.

People keep buying them (and complaining how shit GameFreak is)

It happens even if you ask how many “r”s are in “strawberry”. It’s a well-known AI gotcha that happens on most if not all current models. The typo in the original post is a little misleading and not that relevant.

Yeah but the money’s partly going to Blizzard so yeah…

Aren’t China the ones making the chips in their foundries? What’s to stop them from not exporting the chips to US hardware manufacturers in retaliation? Are there any AI chips being made in the US?

Finished Metaphor: Refantazio right before the end of the year. Fantastic game which is shockingly relevant to so much going on at the moment around the world.

I always think of THPS3 as a PS1 game, didn’t even know it had online MP

They could (and probably should) just partner up with ProtonDB and just bring in badges like the Decky plugin does. That also has the added bonus of getting some recommended tweaks or settings from other users really easily.

I’ve never played the series but I am interested and planning on seeing if the new version is good / considered “definitive” by fans of the series. If it’s good I will likely play this rather than the original version.

Same strategy I’m taking for Dragon Quest 1/2/3

There’s a remaster coming out early next year! I’m planning on doing the same when that comes out

Neil Druckman making his staff work triple overtime to render out the new Verizon space phone in game

How many people do you need before you hit “small orgy”? Like 3 people is obviously a threesome, is 4 people a small orgy?

And how many before it is no longer a small orgy?

Such an underrated show. I wish it got more praise that was definitely deserved
