Yup. OpenGOAL is pretty good, but Jak 2 & Jak 3 are still incomplete and have issues.

And 4 player online co-op!!! Nice!

Yeah. I wouldn’t mind a Jak and Daxter trilogy remake either.
- Comment on BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games (Demon's Souls/Shadow of the Colossus remakes) 1 day ago:
NO…
I was hoping for the Demon’s Souls remake to get ported to PC as I would love to play the game again. A PC version of the game was included in the same Nvidia leak that showed Helldivers 2 before it was announced. Every showcase, I was wondering where Bluepoint were… And now they went under.
Complete insanity that Sony forced them to do a live service game for the past few years. Bluepoint was practically an art studio, they could’ve spent the next 20 years just remaking old games and make bank. What were they thinking?
- Comment on Did anyone really think the Final Fantasy 7 remake was better than the original PS1 version? 3 days ago:
This might be a hot take but I don’t think the original FF7 aged well. The combat gets really repetitive and I never finished it. The atmosphere and general story is awesome, but it’s still very “of its time” when it comes to delivering that story and reading all the dialogue. Your head fills in the blanks in the story and gets over the shoddy translation.
I loved Remake, honestly. We can all agree that the side quests were filler and the story isn’t very well paced, but everything worked for me and I enjoyed it way more than the original. Rebirth felt bloated and I didn’t care for the open world stuff. Screw that card game, too.
One thing I will say is that they definitely overcooked the story in the remakes. The whole multiverse time travel dementors kingdom-hearts-ass confusing storyline was unnecessary. I guess they felt the need that they had to do something new to catch the old fans off guard.
- Comment on I designed a board game (creative commons/open source) 4 days ago:
Pretty damn cool. I haven’t read most of the rules but my first impressions from playing a game vs the bot is that the board feels a little too big. There’s a lot of moving from A to B and a lot of downtime. I feel like if you could remove maybe 1/3rd of the spaces it could be much more engaging.
- Comment on Fighting games have a product design problem 5 days ago:
It can be a problem if the company is trying to bring in and maintain new users, which is kinda why the article was made. 2XKO laid off most of their team and scaled back development because it wasn’t successful. It’s also hurting indies like Rivals of Aether 2 which seems to be doing OK but not as good as the first game.

- Comment on REANIMAL | Release Trailer 6 days ago:
As is tradition. People complained hard about Little Nightmares 2 being expensive for how short it was on release, too.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Super excited for this regardless, but the combat feels a bit floaty here. Feels like a lot of fighting has no impact, hopefully they can improve upon it by the time it launches.
- Comment on Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value' 1 week ago:
Epic must’ve given them a really good publishing deal to make it an exclusive though. If it were also on Steam it definitely would’ve moved more copies but I doubt they would end up with more money than what Epic paid.
- Comment on Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value' 1 week ago:
They were already building lasting value.
Not… Really. Alan Wake 2 under-performed and reportedly broke even 2 years after release. FBC Firebreak was a huge failure. It’s not surprising to me that they’re gonna pursue money harder. I hope Control 2 is good, at least.
- Comment on Discord is about to require age verification for everyone 1 week ago:
This sucks ass and even worse that there isn’t a competitor that’s anywhere near Discord’s level yet. And no, Matrix isn’t a discord competitor.
FWIW the title is wrong, they won’t require age verification for everyone, you just won’t be able to access 18+ servers and see porn unless you’re verified. And according to Discord the verification videos stay on-device and never gets sent to servers. If this is true then at least it’s better than the privacy nightmare of other platforms…
This was already launched last year for the UK and Australia, and now it’s going global.
Screw you for pushing this, UK and Australia.

And apparently the Switch 2 of Skyrim sucks haha, not sure if that ever got fixed

- Comment on Overwatch 2 Is Just 'Overwatch' Again And Five New Heroes Arrive Next Week 2 weeks ago:
Well… They did try to make Terraria Otherworld, but that game got cancelled and they fell back into supporting Terraria because it keeps printing money.
- Comment on Final Fantasy III, IV, VIII and IX are now available on GOG 2 weeks ago:
Oh nice. FF3 amd FF4 are the weird 3D remakes though, not the original ones. I remember playing one of these on mobile long ago, I wasn’t aware a PC version even existed.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t most of that from consoles and mobile?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 weeks ago:
Because Steam is the world’s biggest games store on PC while Epic is statistically insignificant. What’s the question?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I remember my friend hyping it up when the Kickstarter launched in 2017… I’m aching for a new MMORPG but it’s so unfortunate all the new ones either come out half-baked or flop completely.
- Comment on ...is this retro? 3 weeks ago:
I hate to break it to you but… It’s been over 20 years. It’s more retro now than the NES was when the 360 came out.
- Comment on Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Combat is fun and similar to Hades but not quite as deep. That said the community management aspect is a big part of the game so if you’re not into that you might struggle, there’s a lot of deciding what to build / talking to your cult.

- Comment on How GOG fixed Cold Fear | GOG Tech Talk 3 weeks ago:
Praying that one day GOG can strike a deal with console owners to bring old abandoned game to PC. I know decompiles exist but you basically need to pirate the games to play them which is very inaccessible.
- Comment on Ubisoft has cancelled 6 games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Crazy that the Sands of Time remake was supposed to come out early 2021… Remakes are supposed to be quick projects for easy money, how could Ubisoft mess it up that much? Sands of Time isn’t even a long game!
One was a cancelled mobile game but now I’m curious what the other 4 were. I guess we’ll never find out as they funnel all that money to their successful live-service stuff.

- Comment on Bully Online, the ambitious mod that brought multiplayer and more to Rockstar's classic school sim, shuts down a month after launch: 'This was not something we wanted' 5 weeks ago:
Not only stupid in general but extremely stupid considering Rockstar already made it clear they don’t like 3rd party mods when they were taking down GTA RP servers.
