@cosi83 said:Yeah bruv. Speak properly Tamoor, adults are listeningIs this some Gamespot inside joke I'm missing, or are we just being casually shitty to people based on regional accents now?

@genessee said:The audiovisual pizzaz on this one is entire PARSECS ahead of Slay the Spire. The animation alone rocks.Agreed on both counts. The art in Dicey Dungeons is cheeky and fun, and the musi...

@haneybd87: I think good objective design can force people to take interesting risks with permadeath on, but the last good Fire Emblem to do that was like, Path of Radiance on the GameCube. Three Hous...

Regarding finishing games while missing core mechanics: Dan and Drew were basically unaware/ignoring the camouflage mechanic in the Phantom Pain Metal Gear Scanlon. Made it pretty hard to watch, since...

@bmccann42: Consider giving it a shot. The similar elements between XCOM and Fire Emblem are:-turn-based “you do your moves, then enemy does all their moves” system-combat is on a grid-your units leve...

@notnert427: fwiw, a lot of this decision probably has more to do with whether the studio thinks the news might actually lower box office returns of the film. The movie wasn’t scheduled to come out un...

I’ve been playing on Hard, and it’s still been pretty manageable, but also I’m probably only like 25-30% of the way through, based on what everyone has been saying about the length. The red preview li...

@indigozeal: I guess I still don’t see Infinite as having meaningful parallels to any modern real world American politics. Did Levine go on record about that? It seemed more broadly aimed at American ...

@indigozeal: Which “both sides” thing in Infinite are you talking about?In general, I find myself (regrettably) agreeing with Dan, in that I think Infinite aged fine and people turned on it disproport...

@sintes: There are jurisdictions where it is not legally required to wear seatbelts in the backseat, but it’s still putting yourself at significant risk of physical harm for no real reason.https://bet...

@sto_ln: Yeah, nothing against the game of snooker, but the table is absurd. Billiards tables are already impractical in size and weight to put in many rooms, so the extra length and width of a snooke...

@mrhendo: Understandable, I know there’s a range of vowel sounds across the UK and Ireland, but based on Canadian English and American English, all those words I listed rhyme with each other and sound...

@mrhendo: Snooker defies all other conventions of pronunciation. Say aloud:-Booker-Cooker-Hooker-Looker-Crook-Rook-TookSo I posit that the Americans on this podcast ARE saying snook-er, as any reasona...

@obikwiet: For some reference about the domestic abuse people are referring to, Infiltration had what sounds like a messy divorce. At one point while in South Korea, there was a heated argument where ...

@colourful_hippie: @efesell: I’m only 10-12 hours in, and yeah, my biggest complaint is also the visuals. The actual game part is good fun, but there are weird visual problems.Whatever visual lighting...

It is not connected to the story of any other games in the series.Fire Emblem, in general, takes place in a new setting each game, with new nations and characters that don’t seem to coexist on the sam...

@mrgreenman: Yeah, I think it makes good business sense. It also means they don’t really have to offer a price drop on the regular Switch anytime soon. If they did, it would look crazy that the Switch...

@frytup: To be fair, good games can fall through the cracks if they’re a genre the staff doesn’t play as much.Like, quite a few years back, I remember they did a Quick Look for Endless Space (flawed 4...

Only 2 eps in.It’s nice that most of the characters seem to be doing something new this season. So much of Season 2 felt like wrapping up loose ends from Season 1.

Is it right to call Anthem the hottest mess? Based on that Kotaku article about the development of Anthem, I feel like the hot mess is broadly the leadership at BioWare and their EA overlords. Again, ...
