Congratulation on Day 125!
With the title like this, I didn’t think you would even reach Day 20, it’s nice to see you still going strong! 😀

The first 2 images look very real / photorealistic, at least in thumbnails.

I have never played Halo, planning to start the MC collection soon.
- Comment on Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning, do you remember the original one? 1 week ago:
Oh yeah, loved the game. I think I got a platinum for it. Haven’t played the remake yet though, but it’s in my backlog.
As others have said the game is not perfect, it was initially supposed to be an MMORPG but then they changed it to a single player game, also there was some drama with the studio that was making it, got bankrupt making it. Maybe if they had more time / money they could’ve improved it even more.
Also, it was written by the fantasy author R. A. Salvatore.
- Comment on Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Quits YouTube With Final Video Teasing Mystery New Game 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think there was any tease. He is a game director, he is not retired, of course he is working on a new game.
As he has mentioned, once a game is ending, director is already working on pre-production of next game.
- Comment on New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline. 1 month ago:
Well, they would get unpatched games which won’t be playable anyway 😀
But no, this only happens for downloaded game, and even then it’s generally for games you have downloaded as part of subscription. If you stay offline for long period of times (don’t know exact time these days, but I think it’s at least more than a month), then PS needs to recheck if you still have the subscription, or if the game is still present in subscription.

Oh, I’ll play it on PlayStation, so no issue with account linking 😀
But yeah, I would be pretty annoyed if I was planning to play it on PC.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 month ago:
Played FTL near to it’s release, and Into the Breach when it ended up on mobile / Netflix. Baba is You is still on my wishlist though.
Complex strategy game might be an interesting category. Will check out a few. Any recommendations that I should check first? I used to play Age of Empires before, so going to get AoE IV soon, but don’t know much 4X games (except maybe some Civilizations and Age of Wonders 2).
Also played Half-Life a while ago, haven’t played 2 though. Thanks for the reminder!
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 month ago:
Well, I am generally a fan of RPGs but I play pretty much any kind of game. Most of the AAA games end up on consoles, so have played most of them (or have them on wishlist). Played both God of War (all except Ragnarok, which is on my wishlist) and Control on PS. And Guardians of the Galaxy is on my wishlist.
Oh, not a big fan of MOBAs or any PvP game. Same with very old or retro game. Don’t have a nostalgia for 8-bit games. Don’t mind 16bit era that much though. Also don’t like horror.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 month ago:
Can I ask for recommendations here?
I mainly play on PS and Switch, and have a long list of games that I want to play, so am fully covered there, but recently updated my laptop, and this one has a nice Nvidia card in it, so was thinking about catching up on the PC only games I missed.
I am currently playing Trails in the Sky series, and plan to get Age of Empires and other Xbox / MS games like Halo, Gears of Wars, Fable etc.
Any other PC-only, must-play recommendations from last 10-15 years?

I haven’t played it, but generally it doesn’t sound fun. @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world makes it sound fun. 😀
- Comment on Day 69 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 month ago:
Heh, cool.

You make this game sound so fun.
Now that he has died and respawned, is he still Jerry’s son Cable? Or is it a new character now?
- Comment on The Swapper; A neat little puzzle game from the mid 2010's, which was just yesterday and definitely not 10 years ago. 1 month ago:
I think I played it on Vita. Remember loving it when I played it. As you said, the game wasn’t too difficult, nor too easy.
I just looked it up at psnprofiles to see if I Platinumed it, and turns out I only cleared 2 out of 10 chapters. (Also there is no Platinum trophy) Guess it’s time to give it another go.
- Comment on how is final fantasy XVI 1 month ago:
Disclaimer: I haven’t played it yet, but I have talked to people who have liked it and who have hated it.
The games is very good, but it’s not a typical Final Fantasy game. They have removed, or reduced the RPG elements, and made it a very good action game with good narrative. So, if you go in expecting an RPG like previous Final Fantasy games you won’t like it. If you just go in expecting a good action / adventure game with some RPG elements, you’ll probably end up liking it

So, as someone who got hyped because he is the man behind Black & White and Fable. What am I missing?

How are you liking Fallout 76?
- Comment on Geoff Keighley: No Silksong in Gamescom. Team Cherry are still cooking. 2 months ago:
I think we should just forget the game exists. One day they will announce it, but until them, let’s just assume there is no Silksong, and Team Cherry is just taking a long long vacation.
- Comment on I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release? 3 months ago:
Voice communications are pretty simple on console too. I prefer to turn it off even if games have it, unless I am playing with an actual friend, so that default is fine by me. And when actually using it, it’s pretty easy, takes just a few button clicks. PS5 even got discord integration recently, but all my multiplayer friends are on PS, so didn’t had a need to test that. Though I don’t play on PC so I am not sure if discord on PC is even easier.
As for creativity, indies are leading in that department (and Nintendo has been pretty good too!). There are some great games out there, but unfortunately for AAA when you spend millions of dollars on a game over 4-5 years, it becomes a big risk, specially in today’s environment where even a successful game doesn’t ensure you won’t be layed off, an unsuccessful game is just a suicide.
But in general, yeah, kinda disappointed by the current gen. Eagerly waiting for Switch 2 though.

That’s pretty interesting. Glad to see him trying to pursue his goals, and hope the game succeeds.
- Comment on Devolver co-founder says large-scale game dev "crushing under its own weight a little bit" 6 months ago:
Interesting article. They also talk about indies and different consoles:
Having heard some indies at GDC talking about skipping Xbox and PlayStation because there just isn’t much of an audience for indies on those platforms if you can’t get included in their subscription services, we ask Lowrie about how healthy the console ecosystems are for indies these days.
He echoes the indies we heard from in acknowledging that Switch stands apart from Xbox and PlayStation on this front.
“They’ve created an ecosystem – and therefore a user base – that is really open to interesting concepts and gameplay ideas,” Lowrie says of Nintendo. "The PlayStation and Xbox user, for as long as I’ve been doing this… there’s a lot of people that still like indie games, don’t get me wrong. Cult of the Lamb has done very well on those platforms. But I think the large majority of those people buy those platforms to show off what they can really do. They’re looking at Destiny. They’re looking at Helldivers. They’re looking at Starfield. They definitely push those.
“I think the platforms themselves all are really strong believers in indie games. They really do push them. I think on the other end, the consumers – as big as they might be – there’s still a smaller portion than we would like on Xbox and PlayStation that are open to looking at a pixel art platformer and going, ‘I’ll give this a shot.’”

Can’t you make a free PSN account from any country? I know people in countries with no PSN using US PSN account, without any VPN or anything. You just set your country to US, or UK.
- Comment on Slay the Spire devs followed through on abandoning Unity 7 months ago:
Don’t know what engine they used for STS, but apparently they were making STS 2 on Unity:
At the time, it said it’d made much of Slay the Spire II in Unity, but would still migrate to a different engine if Unity stuck to its guns.
