  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Indie Game of the Week 367: 9 Years of Shadows. on the 9 Years of Shadows board

    This game looks decent but I hear you on the "too many exploration platformers are basically the same game." Tales of Kenzera does just enough to be kind of mechanically interesting but not enough to...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic BlizzCon 2024 Is Cancelled. Do You Think The Event Is Dead Forever?. on the BlizzCon board

    I'm probably 50/50 on whether there will ever be another Blizzcon, and my guess is that not even the people at Blizzard really know for sure. I think it will depend on a number of factors, including ...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Stellar Made(Demo impressions). on the Stellar Blade board

    @efesell: This is almost as bad as when the puddles in Spider-Man got nerfed.I don't understand people who care this much about tiny details in video games, let alone worry that their video game chara...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Stellar Made(Demo impressions). on the Stellar Blade board

    I've now played the demo and I am super on the fence on whether to buy at full price or wait. On the one hand I did like it and I'm kind of very in the mood for a game like it. On the other hand it f...

    Wow I'm shocked at how...new? Not old? this is. I would have thought it was 5-7 years older. #GuessTheGame #712🎮 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟩 ⬜ ⬜#MasterGamerhttps://GuessThe.Game/p/712

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic What's the Greatest Video Game: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. on the Super Mario 3D World board

    @imunbeatable80: It honestly wasn't THAT much of a street fight. I saw a guy arguing with his female partner and it looked like it might get violent. Then it did, and when he punched her in the face I...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Is Earth Defense Force 5 a poor man's Helldivers 2. on the General Discussion board

    They're VERY different games. They share some ideas in common but besides Helldivers being live service they just play totally differently. EDF is super arcadey and laid back while Helldivers 2 is ki...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic What's the Greatest Video Game: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. on the Super Mario 3D World board

    I think that this ranking is unfair and biased by what you think a Mario game should be. In other words you think this game is bad for a Mario game (I personally don't agree, but fine) but it's not re...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Welcome (Possibly) A New Multimedia Empire/Overlord (Part Deux): Sony In Talks To Buy Paramount. on the Off-Topic board

    @zombiepie: I mean yes, big deals have big implications, but my point is more that this is not a NEW empire. Sony also owns Sony music and PlayStation, so even if their film brand has been a little le...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Welcome (Possibly) A New Multimedia Empire/Overlord (Part Deux): Sony In Talks To Buy Paramount. on the Off-Topic board

    How is this a new empire? Sony is already a media empire.Obviously this wouldn’t be a great thing but it’s hard to see how it would really change stuff from a consumer perspective beyond the perpetual...

    Yars Rising is proof that gaming IP will always get recycled

    Wayforward is making another 2D platformer starring a young female protagonist. As news goes this is the equivalent to "today is Thursday." It doesn't happen every day, but it happens quite a lot. Wha...

    I love (some) indie games, but they're often missing spectacle, polish, and, perhaps most importantly, discourse.

    As someone who complains a fair amount about the state of "AAA" gaming, one of the solutions that I often hear is to play more indie games. Indie games are not plagued with a lot of the issues that in...
