On a Warhammer 40K Dawn of War crusade this weekend. Been having a hankering for slaying Xenos in the name of the Emperor. I miss playing tabletop 40K!
FOR THE EMPEROR!! (I mean, NINJA APPROVED, that’s not heresy, right? It’s probably A LOT of heresy!)
@GoombaGreg You’re misunderstanding the philosophy. When you spread hate, you hurt not only the people you hate, but you also hurt yourself.
If you choose to sow love (or even indifference to EA) the company may not change, but your life will be better because you carry less hatred in your heart. It’s not about changing their behavior, but setting oneself free from the negative effects associated with hatred.
@IceEarthGuard Or stick to digital, where there is no surplus and no shortage. If all you want to be able to do is play the game, that's the best possible solution. Then you can create a backup in the event your system fails, and you'll be good to go. I think people confuse ownership and access. Access is more important.
Not gonna lie. I'm not a Sonic fan, never could get into any of the games. They all looked and felt sub-par. But this? I might actually give it a go. On Pc, of course. I want the inevitable mod-support that we will be able to enjoy.
@Beaucine Performance should be at the top of everyone’s mind. The PC port is still totally borked for many users, and it’s performance issues have been rectified by a fan-made patch that Switch owners will not be able to use if it’s still a broken mess. Definitely a wait and see, imo.
Automata was the most disappointing thing I've played in modern gaming. I played the demo, which was amazing, then got the actual game and was let down by it being yet another large, empty, open world. It really felt like a bait and switch.
@Funneefox The Mario 64 PC port is still alive and well. Another M2 Remake is also still very easy to obtain via google searches. I think things will be ok
I remember probably about 15 years ago seeing a Melty Blood arcade machine next to a Guilty Gear one. That particular venue had weekly tournament for fighting games. I used to admire their skills in between DDR sets. This article just reminded me of those little moments.
@Royalblues I hope you find something you enjoy! There are literal hundreds of shmups, tailored to very specific taste. I found a ton I enjoyed via this article, which I will post to get you started:
This update sounds perfect for me. I loved the atmosphere that Dead Cells presented, but playing it was way too frustrating so I gave up on it. The option to continue is a godsend on its own, but the other features look really handy, too. Thanks devs! You’re definitely giving us our money’s worth!
@Magrane So, my birthday was on Monday, and I checked in with Steam today and one of my friends gifted me TMNT! So I turned off the voices and gave it a go today and while it lacks the magic of TMNT 4, it’s combat is very, very fun! Not one of my top games, but it’s certainly a good one! I wish I could turn off the challenge nags, though. Maybe an update will address it.
@moodycat Yep, same here, though for me the game also has to hold up. I only ever played some of 3 and some of 7. Kept hitting a wall with them about halfway so I stopped following the series other than for it's music. Truth be told, running Ys music while playing souls games is a fantastic time
@TheCrabMan I agree completely with innocent until proven guilty. However, I’m just a man, and not a judge, so my opinion on that matter has no bearing on his innocence or guilt. That idea only has a merit in a court of law.
So he’s making the company money, at the expense of thousands of employees. That alone means I have no business speaking with you. “Who you hang around, you become.” I hope to never think in such a way, so no thank you.
@moodycat Man, that part of the game was breath taking for me. I acknowledge your feelings on the matter, since that last boss gauntlet is pretty fearsome. I did wish that there was only a single boss after Maliketh for the main story line. It’s very exhausting (depending on build/gear) fighting from Godfrey to the last boss. And I’ve been playing these games since Demon’s Souls, so I get you.
@Franklin That has a really nice ring to it lmfao. But I’m a human, so I can’t claim it. Gotta let an official turtle who also happens to be a ninja that loves video games take it!
@samuelvictor Thanks for the recommendation. I’m not totally sold on it because I generally have a massive distaste for modern movies. Not trying to yuck your yum, I just know myself and know I probably won’t be into it.
