  Oh absolutely. I know it wasn’t super janky for everyone - but the fact is that it was so broken on launch for not just PC, but PS as well. The mass refunds, which Sony has never done, etc. Denying that this was a thing is what the narrative seems to be for many.

  I’m glad it worked for you on launch, and hope you had a great time playing it!

  It’s why I’ll never get it unless obtained for the good ol’ price of free. I’m glad people are enjoying it and it’s much improved over the trash pile they delivered! But it’s still a very different game than advertised.

  Frankly, it’s concerning how quickly the narrative shifted on this. You’d think with the internet recording the whole fiasco, there wouldn’t be a quick narrative shift and misinformation on the subject, but people have convinced themselves the launch wasn’t that bad, Sony somehow screwed them and this is what they said the game would be!

  So what’s the difference for Nintendo fans that love any Mario or Zelda game, for example? I’m not trying to be an ass here, but what makes your specific “I only buy this full price” a better decision than someone else’s “I only buy this at full price”?

  That’s amazing! Great news. Unfortunately it’s the much uglier looking PC port - which is to be expected, sadly. But if this gets more people to play Breath of Fire, I won’t complain.

  Bad timing on this comment, with Larian releasing 8 new subclasses for Baldurs Gate 3 for free in a few days.

  It doesn’t make much sense, does it?

  Believe they’re talking about in D&D, the TTRPG itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They do kinda owe people something - at least those that contributed to the funding of the first game. Silksong was originally a 2nd playable character that was unlocked as a reward from the Kickstarter for Hollow Knight. Then it turned into a DLC, and now it’s turned into a full game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here Are The Specs For The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 | Time Extension⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know Retroid are kind of the more “affordable” option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don’t really want to spend more money on them. At this point I’d probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky.

  I’m still meaning to try any of the silent hill games, but I’ve played both the priginal RE4 and the new remake multiple times each. I think they’re both fantastic.

  I played the Wii and the HD. Both many times, but I couldn’t tell you the difference other than the controls. Not sure if that says more about me, or the game…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it sucks, but I have a lot of opinions about some of the balancing and character abilities.

  It’s fun enough for me and I enjoy playin with friends, but I don’t think I’ve quite found a character that really speaks to how I like to play - which is a bit odd considering how many characters there are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alan Wake is a game that should be right up my alley, but I don’t think it’s a particularly good game. It’s very repetitive, the gameplay doesn’t evolve that much. The story is fine, and the world is interesting. I haven’t played the sequel, particularly because I didn’t really enjoy my time with the first, but I’ve heard it’s much improved over the first.

  I think it might be my favourite of the Ys series, to be honest. So simple and fun.

  The latter two are a much more broad and prevalent issue in the gaming industry overall. No need for the whataboutism.
