- Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps 1 day ago:
Seems like this person wants to play a dating simulator that simulates a real relationship.
Be the change you want in the world.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 2 days ago:
We can but it generally looks and controls like crap on modern screens. It has aged worse than many tank control games like Resident Evil.
Lots of people just wanted a nice graphical update with some quality of life improvements. I’m sure that shouldn’t take a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars to complete.

SE’s obsession with making every mainline FF game a 100+ million dollar project with hours of cutscenes and a combat system ill suited to fight the skyscraper sized enemies is killing the series.
They’re obsessed with spectacle. Nobody really cares about spectacle anymore.
- Comment on Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead 2 days ago:
Are all these companies going to go bankrupt when the AI bubble pops and their products flood the market?
- Comment on DEAD OR ALIVE New Project - Teaser Trailer 2 days ago:
It’s pretty good as a fighting game. Fast, fun and easy to learn.
- Comment on DEAD OR ALIVE New Project - Teaser Trailer 5 days ago:
I wonder how much DLC this one will have?
- Comment on US | Epstein files suggest Trump laundered money for Russian oligarch 6 days ago:
The DNC did not pursue any of this because a lot of their wealthy donors will also be implicated in this.
- Comment on Next-Generation Xbox Could Launch in 2027, Hints AMD - IGN 1 week ago:
Every game that runs at 30fps is already pushing the hardware to its limits. We have lots of those.
Gameplay innovations are mostly dead. You’re gonna play a live service game and buy cosmetic DLC.
- Comment on Capcom Developing Another Monster Hunter Wilds 'Large-Scale Expansion' Similar to Iceborne - IGN 1 week ago:
MH Wilds needs an engine rework and redesign more than it needs an expansion.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 1 week ago:
Those tears are your eyes trying to antialias those chunky pixels.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
The original has an infinitely better story and pacing.
Remake is a sequel. Lots of things won’t make sense unless there’s prior knowledge of the original.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 1 week ago:
Yeah, I really wanted to like it. I tried.
It’s weird that I literally spent hours reading all the hidden lore and clues putting together the Elden Ring lore but HZD with its much better visuals and presentation couldn’t keep my attention.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 1 week ago:
Actually, the writing is what made me stop.
Aloy speaks too much like a college educated woman and does not seem to have any negative traits from having been raised as an exiled hermit. What could have been a bunch of fun and interesting interactions ended up with Aloy always being right and very well adjusted.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 1 week ago:
Sony second party games released on PC because their AAA games cost too much to make so they need a better return on their investment.
Pretty much undercut their entire console platform.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 1 week ago:
Guerrila Games is a developer that is amazing at the tech stuff but their game design is 100% derivative.
I can’t even get through HZD because it’s just 100% Ubisoft open world design. It’s a beautiful world but it’s no fun to explore.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 1 week ago:
If you’re on PC then emulation of the Switch Xenoblade games is a great option. Play the game the way the developer intended.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 1 week ago:
Xenoblade 2 runs anywhere between 378-540p in handheld mode. That’s often below N64 resolution.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 2 weeks ago:
The entire Xenoblade collection needs a Switch 2 update. The Switch 1 was always way too weak for these games.
- Comment on Memory chip crunch to hit TVs and consumer devices hardest in 2026 2 weeks ago:
I need a 4K 65” CRT.
A forklift to help me install it

High stocks tend to be tied to high ROI. Meme stocks excluded.

The rich oppose anything that has a a smaller return of investment.
- Comment on The Epstein affair will probably make a great movie one day, but it can't be made until enough of the producers in Hollywood that have connections to people in the story have retired or died. 2 weeks ago:
It should be a Ken Burns documentary.

- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 2 weeks ago:
Apple App Store and Google Play stores have a market duopoly. They should be forced to forfeit all or most of its fees.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing Zelda TotK lately and the third person camera in that game is amazing. I wish BG3 had that kind of camera when playing with a controller.
I don’t know of a good intuitive free cam for m+k play. They all seem a bit over complicated to me.
- Comment on Leaked Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Test Presentation Impreses After Cancellation 2 weeks ago:
Nothing bad with a remake of a classic.
Just think of it as a well-liked movie that was only available on DVD but it is getting a pristine Blu-ray release.
Nothing wrong with that.
Ubisoft’s other work is where the real problem is.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 2 weeks ago:
I thinks it’s pretty good for most of the game. It only gets borderline broken when verticality comes into play during some battles.
- Comment on Trump’s Department of Transportation Plans to Use AI to Draft New Regulations 3 weeks ago:
The AI tool they use will just spit out whatever regulations the owners of that same tool want changed. Just before it calls itself mecha-hitler or some other edge lord crap.
