- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 2 days ago:
I actually have not played the original which is why I was interested in playing the remaster since it‘s such a classic. I ended up liking the Nightdive-made DLC maps and the N64 port the most tbh.
- Comment on Bi-weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 2 days ago:
Catching up on Vampire Survivors updates when solo.
It Takes Two with gf. Awful story IMO, we’re just skipping the cutscenes now. But great diverse gameplay and visual setpieces.
Gonna start Darksiders Genesis with a friend this weekend now that our run through Quake II remastered is done. I liked Quake II 64 (lol) the most out of the lot tbh. The levels were way less confusing. The Nightdive-made DLC was also great.
- Comment on Witcher 1&2 are probably worth playing 3 days ago:
Witcher 2 yay, Witcher 1 nay. IMO, the first one really didn‘t age well. It‘s been too long to remember the specifics but what I do remember is me dealing with the gameplay and visuals for the story‘s sake. The second game I started up and was awed by the visuals, the gameplay was much better too. Insane step forward.

Rocket League cracked that for me, crazy ceiling on that game.
Crusader Kings III is gonna crack it eventually…
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 1 week ago:
Quake II remaster (?) by Nightdive in co-op with a friend. It‘s alright. I see it more as a video game history course, everything kinda looks the same so it hasn’t held up too well IMO, but it‘s a good time in co-op. And thank God they built in a navigation system lol
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 1 week ago:
I‘m probably even downplaying it, my friend ragequit from the frequency of crashes lol
Maybe Magicka 2 is the better starting point, but I wouldn‘t know since after my experience with Magicka, I didn‘t wanna touch it
It was fun when it worked though!
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 1 week ago:
Fair warning that when I played it with a friend (two-ish years ago), it was broken and abandoned. Couldn‘t play in co-op for more than 30 minutes without a disconnect, some DLCs didn‘t even start, singleplayer you had to downgrade to an older version or else it crashes every so often. Every loading screen has you praying the game doesn‘t poop the bed. It was probably fun at some point, but it needs engineering attention and hadn‘t gotten that in years when I last tried it.
- Comment on Need for Speed: what is the best title of the series? 1 week ago:
I think NFS Heat is great nowadays. It holds up well and runs well. Dirt cheap as well. As in all racing games, I skipped the story tho lol; those are a waste of time and resources IMO
- Comment on Need for Speed: what is the best title of the series? 1 week ago:
My personal 2 cents:
DiRT 5 has the most terrible driving in any racing game I‘ve ever played. It‘s an HDR wonderland but that‘s about it. My least liked racing game in my library.
Fair warning to anyone who is like me and suffers from moderate motion sickness: Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom will whoop your ass, play the demo (I think there was one) first and see if you can last 30 minutes. The game‘s fun and all but it‘s not fun to get nausea and a headache.
Distance is amazing. Heard about that game on here first actually and it was a great find.
- Comment on Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs? 2 weeks ago:
Pokemon USUM. If there was a looped version of the tracks, I‘d probably listen to it every day lol, it just boosts my mood. Sadly, the soundtrack (that I have) has them at 1-2 minutes.

I wanted to get away from the longsword in Rise but somehow I always gravitate towards it…
Good hunting!
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 3 weeks ago:
Monster Hunter Rise to have a MH fix until Wilds runs at more than 30 fps
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 3 weeks ago:
I wish so many popular racing games weren‘t over 100 gb on average. Installing a couple on my 500 gb Deck is pain.
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reviews Are In — Is BioWare’s Back in a Big Way? 3 weeks ago:
Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this? I saw the review thread and it seemed to have scored quite a few good reviews. I‘m not informed regarding the matter at all, the last Bioware game I‘ve played was Dragon Age 2, so I‘m genuinely clueless.

How long has your playthrough been thus far? Didn‘t know it has 2 DLCs AND American Nightmare, I thought the latter is its only DLC
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I don‘t need 300 instead of 150 hrs, I need 20-50 good hours
- Comment on Star Citizen Developer Cloud Imperium Games Imposes 7-Day Work Week Ahead of Citizencon 1 month ago:
Are they just cruel for fun? Do they think that out of all the gaming communities out there this community expects deadlines to be kept? If you opted into SC then you surely don‘t mind waiting, no?
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 month ago:
Unlock The King: Cheap, simple puzzler that uses chess pieces and how they‘re allowed to move, but otherwise has nothing in common with actuall chess. Recommended.
Orcs Must Die! 3: Comic-y 3rd person tower defense game (here: traps) that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I was a big fan of OMD2 and thought 3 was their weird pvp game called Unchained or whatever, so this one went completely past me and now I get to play a complete and new (to me) OMD for cheap! Recommended.
Potion Permit: Harvest Moon but you’re making potions instead. The pixel art is absolutely amazing. The game feels a bit too small and has weird technical issues (stutter, sudden increase in CPU load or controller input crapping itself until you restart), but it‘s still fun af. Recommended.
Fields of Mistria: Early Access Harvest Moon clone in Gameboy Color style. It may be Early Access, but it runs smooth, I‘ve experienced zero bugs and after ten hours I‘m not even in my first fall. It‘s already well worth a buy. Recommended.

I‘ve had this in my library for many years (Steam sale pile lol) and also started it recently. I‘m really bad with horror games so I don‘t play it much, but I think the ingame atmosphere held up really well while the cutscenes are super uncanny valley territory. I‘m hoping to 100% it eventually.

Can‘t wait to watch, performance in the demo for me had been abysmal so I was gonna wait for this one a couple years of hardware upgrades anyway
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered confirmed by ESRB rating 2 months ago:
Does this game really need a remaster…? It won‘t cost nothing to make so I‘m confused.
- Comment on Jade Empire, the prototype for Mass Effect 2 months ago:
It‘s been a while but I remember when I played it way after its release I found it clunky and meh. I guess that‘s to be expected for an (when I played it already) old game. I want more martial arts games though. Especially kung fu games. I also want a new Sleeping Dogs…
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 2 months ago:
I’m sure we can be more open-minded and accept that people can enjoy the core gameplay loops of games that we don‘t personally enjoy without being addicted.

I think it‘s amazing that we can be like „ok but is this scary or buggy?“ lol
- Comment on Day 40 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Jedi Fallen Order) 2 months ago:
With a 3080 it ran fine at 4k, I capped FPS to 75 which it held most of the time. „Survivor“ (the latest entry in the series) is plagued by performance issues. Fallen Order does have traversel and shader stutter though IIRC.

The planet with the zombies and especially anything related to the weird underground city on it was worse IMO
If you didn‘t already know what path to take to end up in the specific spot in said city that you needed to go to, you were in for a ride lol
Also backtracking through the swamp area
I do remember having trouble finding specific exploration percentages in Zeffo as well though

Shame there‘s no successor to that game (that I know of)
