  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Guess the Game Thread. on the General Discussion board

    @chamurai: I get that, it's just for me it's the kind of thing where you either know it or you don't. There are a few times where I've been like "oh I should have caught that" but mostly either I just...

    @chamurai: I look at the screenshots and try to guess the game. I don't really spend too much time racking my brain because for me it's just not that serious. In terms of Googling, I only use it for...

    I'm too old. I'm aware of the games but I've never played them and they don't really appeal to me though having not tried them it's possible I would like them if I did.In a way they remind me of old ...

    I scrolled through my Xbox 360 download list and it was like a hit of industrial strength nostalgia

    This all started because I wanted to play some Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. I don't know if this was because of the impending release of Street Fighter 6 or just a random urge that drifted up from my subconsc...

    @chamurai: This one took me 3In terms of that other game, which I won't name because you can go back and do prior days if you want, it's probably either that it was just a tough one to do backwards co...

    Frank Cifaldi explains how Tommy Tallarico's hubris destroyed Keith Robinson's careful stewardship

    I want to be clear that the true victims of the Intellivision Amico saga are the investors who got swindled out of their cash and the pre-order customers who were promised refunds but didn't get them....

    I like Beat Saber but I think it's a problem that so many VR breakout games don't do much with VR

    Let me start this by saying it is not a burial of Beat Saber. I bought it for PSVR1 but never played it because I am constantly overestimating my appetite for VR games,* but when the free upgrade was ...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic "Bad" AAA games in recent years. on the General Discussion board

    @cikame: Some do and some don't. But LOTR is somewhat bullet proof as an IP, especially with the big new TV series getting a lot more attention than the games, and it's not like there haven't been bad...

    @notsosneakyguy: I will never forget NOR FORGIVE how in the original Destiny a lot of the lore was not actually in a game but in like associated apps and websites. Not even like there was ancillary m...

    @shindig: And then they can rip chunks of the campaign out and throw them in the garbage so new players have no way of seeing a cohesive narrative!It's still wild to me that they got away with taking ...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Yet another live-service shooter.... on the Marathon board

    @thepanzini: Alien, The Terminator, and Rambo had almost immediate sequels that were in the same general genre but tweaked to be more action oriented. Rambo 1 is an action thriller. Rambo 2 is more s...

    @apewins: If they're smart they'll pull a game pass and release it day 1 on one of the PS+ tiers. Assures a player base. Then you make up the sales through microtransactions or other platforms (since...

    @thepanzini: I think we all understand why this happened the way it happened. But that doesn't mean people weren't disappointed by the way it was baited and switched.And extended universes like that ...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Yet another live-service shooter.... on the Marathon board

    @thepanzini: Just because you're making 1 game doesn't mean you can't make another especially with a studio that size. Plus live service multiplayer games can have a single player component (Gears an...

    @michaelenger: To be fair some of the extraction games don't even have gear or XP rewards (though most do.) They're just about running the same maps over and over and over. And some of them don't both...

    @chamurai: Did you play the PS5/PC version? I did (though I also played on PS4) and that threw me for the first 2 because it doesn't look as sharp as I remember, though I got it on the 3rd. 6 is kind...

    My Amico obsession led me to buy an Evercade VS console. My feelings are mixed.

    As some of you may know I’m pretty obsessed with the Intellivision Amico, a vaporware nonsole that piled bad ideas on top of each other like a miser at a pay-per-plate buffet. It is impossible to dive...
