- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, why is it so hyped? 1 week ago:
It’s a great game but definitely flawed in places. I will agree that the world building really carries the game. By modern standards the open world is rather small (and some parts look like they simply didn’t have time to develop - the hotel in downtown), but it works really well.
I will pick a less commonly chosen favourite; you get to meet the creator of the zombie movie genre and help him out.
And I love the Hollywood map music track (and this just excellent track among many).
VTMB2 sounds like an action game that’s lacking in RPG elements, so it’s not for me.
I might get it at as some point if the game + all DLC are available for under $10. If not, no problem, there are more than enough games to keep me occupied.

- Comment on New World will stop receiving updates following Amazon layoffs 1 week ago:
I think this is due to the broader “move towards AI”, gaming was big around COVID, now it’s in massive decline, at least in terms of employment and investment opportunities, if not actual revenues.
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 1 week ago:
Microsoft is a criminal organisation that thrives on corruption (no real action being taken with respect anti trust proceedings is still relevant today).
Crime isn’t only about someone stealing your phone, extracting many billion of dollars via oligopolistic methods of limiting competition and leaving people with no other option than to use their products (irrespective of price or feature consideration) is also criminal activity.
They are not going to fight the US administratorion on this.

Cool art, but yeah this is spam.
- Comment on 'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy 2 weeks ago:
“Boomer shooter” refers to old school FPS/shooters in the sense of boomer = old? Never knew that
I always thought it was because of the more fast paced styles of the older games and emphasis on explosive weapons.
Most people who played Doom / Unreal / Hexen when the games were released were early millenials or tail end “Gen X”. From memory, FPS games weren’t really that popular among people in their 30s and early 40s in the 90s. It was all young kids, teenagers and (I am assuming) university students.

Have yet to play the remake. Played the original on PC in 99 or so. It was a very novel experience at that time (I had mostly played cRPGs, RTSs, city-builder/tycoons etc.). A lot of the puzzles were challenging for young brain though.

I think it should be less than $30 in my region (we get very good discounts).
I will just wait for a nice discount.

Never heard about a zombie version of RDR.
Checked out the Wikipedia page and they even have a PC version.
Went to steam and found out that the game costs $50! That’s really too bad, but I will be on the lookout if it gets discounted.

- Comment on King of Dragon Pass, making you feel like a bronze age tribe chieftain 3 weeks ago:
This is a very unique game both in terms of setting (and how it relates to gameplay as highlighted in OP) and overall fusion of genres.
One issue with KoDP is that it can become a bit min/max focused. The gameplay isn’t as organic and open ended as I would like.

I don’t have any issues when loading the page on Firefox Mobile with UBO. It looks fine, no popups or scam style hijacks.

Does Genshin allow you to play as Winnie the Pooh (doesn’t have to be the US version, the Fyodor Khitruk version looks cool too)?

- Comment on Anyone try the demo for Tavern Keeper on Steam yet? It's....... yeah. 4 weeks ago:
This short discussion thread has feedback from a person who tried the latest demo and they were impressed.
I tried the demo from late last year and I thought it had potential. I liked the setting and the customization options.

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
Star Ruler 2. If you choose a map with ~450 systems, it plays more like a space economic strategy game, as opposed to the RTS/4X hybrid of the default map settings.

- Comment on Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title' 5 weeks ago:
I played Legacy for an hour purely out of curiosity. It was absolute shit. Boring, uninspired, “worst of mobile” gameplay, generic visuals, multiplayer tacked on in a way that doesn’t enhance the gameplay. I will speculate they simply repurposed the Legacy engine for Masters of Albion.
It’s almost certainly going to be terrible.
If you want a business sim, you would be far better of looking at the Capitalism series, Industry Giant 2 (it holds up pretty even after 20+ years) or perhaps Big Ambitions.
- Comment on Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title' 5 weeks ago:
It’s unlikely that Masters of Albion will be his return to form.
It looks to be largely based on his previous “game”, Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam.
- Comment on Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title' 5 weeks ago:
He knew how to make good games back in the day, he doesn’t or simply doesn’t care.
Masters of Albion seems to be largely based on his previous games, Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam (selling virtual land based on speculative pitch that the tokens would make mad real world money).
I tried Legacy for an hour (just out of curiosity), it’s shit. Almost feels like a low effort game to justify the pump and dump in-game land sale.

He is done with releasing good games, he is not done releasing trash.

TIL. I am not surprised both games are based on a Quake mod.
