- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 week ago:
Dark Souls never even needed a remaster. The original could be released today and probably still be the best game of this year. The improved performance is the only thing worth noting, and even that only really matters in Blighttown, which everyone skips after their first playthrough anyway.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 week ago:
On the subject of fighting games, its true that modern games are more fluid and dynamic and obviously visually superior, but they are also chopped up into a thousand microtransactions and dumbed down. There are six games in the Soul Calibur series now, and SC2 is still the peak there. I’d also argue the best games of both the Mortal Kombat and Dead or Alive series lie somewhere in the middle. The latest entries in all three of these series are honestly disappointing, as well as absolutely riddled with microtransactions.

I had 10k hours in DotA before DotA2 was even a thing. DotA2 never pulled me in quite the same, but even so the best day of my life was when I uninstalled that shit for good in 2015.

Despite all these shortcomings Oblivion is still my favorite TES game. The only thing that stops me from replaying it is the god-awful leveling system that requires loads of planning and min-maxing to make a character I am satisfied with. It’s just so gosh darned beautiful and relaxing…as long as one completely ignores Kvatch.

For me it was Warcraft 3 custom maps. And I’d probably still be playing it if blizzard hadn’t fucking destroyed it. Fuck blizzard forever.

The meme says worst games. Dark Souls is one of the absolute best games.

Why would you write this and then not say what your favorite jrpg that is specifically more grindy in America is? Do you write clickbait headlines for a living?

but she was okay with Inquisition? I don’t get that at all. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games of all time and I’ve beat it several times. Inquisition is straight trash by comparison. I beat it once and was immensely disappointed. Because of that experience, I haven’t even considered trying Veilguard. I just know it can only be worse.

I guess I’d take the XBLA version of Vigilante 8, since it’s unlikely we’ll ever get another game in the series or even a remaster of 2nd Offense.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 4 weeks ago:
That was over a year ago and I have. It’s a bandaid on a dumpster.

I’ve had cyberpunk since launch and the only thing that has improved is stability. The game is still a hodgepodge of half baked RPG systems, most of which aren’t even necessary to interact with. No amount of polish can change the fact that it’s a turd underneath.

My anecodotal evidence agrees. Somewhere between the jackal sniper one-shot deaths and the rampaging brutes soaking up all your ammo it becomes difficult not to throw things, and I swear I am generally a calm person. I play dark souls to relax.

In a somewhat similar vein, the remakes of both Halo: Combat Evolved and Bioshock modernized the lighting and in so doing completely destroyed the atmosphere.

No it didn’t. I don’t know if a single vendor aside from Bandcamp that will sell you the actual files, and let’s be honest their catalogue is pathetic.

If I have to pay extra attention to a specific part of the screen during a specific part of a show just to notice the difference, is it really that big of a difference?

As a kid, my family’s first VCR was a Daewoo. Imagine my surprise when we passed some road construction and I saw the Daewoo excavators and other heavy machinery. Later on, a girl in my highschool class had a Daewoo. That one blew my mind even more for some reason.

5th Gen iPod Video for me, circa 2006. I actually loved the device, but having to use the trash software that was iTunes is what radicalized me.

- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
It’s because they launched this product with an actual reasonable amount of ram (16gb) compared to the 8gb they are still selling MacBooks with. So, if they can’t charge you $300 for a little bit of ram now, they instead are going to rape you on storage. Apple is still apple.

- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 5 months ago:
but you’re just being a contrarian if you think the pedigree of the two companies is vastly different.
Even if we ignore all the other bootlicking and fanboying in the above comment, this statement alone is completely absurd. FromSoftware has developed over 50 games and CDPR has…4? Maybe 10 if you count mobile trash? By the year 2000 FromSoftware had released more successful games than CDPR has released total, good or bad, to date.
It’s no wonder that cyberpunk is such a piece of garbage really when you realize every other game CDPR ever developed has “the witcher” somewhere in the title.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 5 months ago:
now we have CD Projekt-Red
Holy fuck gamers really do have the worst memories. Cyberpunk is still a shit game after 4 fucking years of patches. CDPR has like 5 titles and one of them is pretty good. FromSoftware has a legacy of bangers a mile long. These 2 companies aren’t even in the same wheelhouse.

Halo 5 has ADS and Halo 4 does not. This alone makes Halo 5 combat worse.
