The physical market is great for sales. Usually wait 2-3 months and get a game for almost half off. It's how I buy most my games unless I'm super looking forward to something. It's why when people pu...

I backed Session on Kickstarter and while the "Dual stick" controls were part of the campaign, I thought I'd back it anyway because it sounded interesting and it was primarily to fund a project from p...

Rise of the Ronin sounds a lot like Way of the Samurai from the little details they shared on the Playstation blog and I'm here for it. WotS is one of my all-time favorite series and it's like they m...

Star Ocean 2 is one of my favorite JRPGs. Fantastic cast of characters, fun combat, neat story and lots of great locations.

A friend and I really like the new Saints Row but yes, the bugs are what is really holding it back. A lot of them are really rotten. One even broke a mission that we had to retry a few times for it t...

A console going digital-only would blow ass. Shitty infrastructure, particularly in the US, notwithstanding eliminating that option would be a blow to the consumer. I wish I had the privilege of being...

The value proposition of a game based off of labor is a misguided talking point. It would be one thing if the people who actually worked on the game saw the full value of their labor but they do not....

Edelgard did nothing wrong. Radical action against the church is necessary to break those chains forever.Black Eagles for life!

I get bagels from BJ's Wholesale Club (it's like a Costco) and I quite like them. Throw them in a toaster oven on the broil setting and it comes out perfect.

I always imagined a Duke Nukem movie would be like MacGruber.

Ebay yourself a refurbished Steelcase Leap v2 on ebay for sub-400 dollars. I did that when we got stimulus money and it was the best purchase I ever made. Helped get my posture in line, comfortable a...

It's the chads who are critically re-evalutating the Prequels. Those who still hold on to the old hatred are weak and won't survive the winter. Hella flawed and interesting films.

Elden Ring is a textbook example of game bloat, to me. Every time I enter a legacy dungeon I am reminded of how much better this content is by a huge margin. Everything in it is unique and meticulousl...

I have to say I wholly disagree with Tam on the "quest" design in Elden Ring. His example with the Onion knight was great because you could decipher all that from what you are shown in the game. In El...

The bosses have been a mixed bag. I rather fight against beasts than humanoids because of the way almost every enemy has their weirdly long wind-up animations. With beasts they tend to be giant and i...

I don't bother. Crafting is annoying busywork that replaced just going to a store and stocking up. Thankfully the coop things and antidotes don't require much to craft so once I got enough to craft t...

I posted this elsewhere but here's my rambling mess of thoughts overall. The TL;DR of it all is that the game is really awesome that falls into some open world pitfalls that only serve to scratch and ...

@allthedinos: For sure! When it does those tracking shots that show off the environment it just got me every single time. While it doesn't have the powerhouse graphics of a few on that list I'd probab...

To me Forgotten City is the ideal loop game because in each loop you learn more about the world, what's going on and about the people. But not only that, it's structured in a way that you can experie...
