Is there an option to tone down the sound effects on the button-hitting? It’s fitting enough in some songs, but in most of them I feel like it’s just overbearing, or at least much too loud.

My whole experience with the game since I started has been everyone around me always being much higher ranked. It’s getting slightly more common now that I see someone under my rank now that I’m up to 17, but even back at rank 3 I was exclusively seeing rank 20+ playing against me, and I was smashing them. It took…

The font itself isn’t awful, but the size sure is. Kotaku feels really weird to browse now, because so little text fits on-screen.

#9 (really role-play) changed The Elder Scrolls series for me. For Skyrim and Oblivion especially, do it with #1 (no minimap/compass) as well. It’s very easy to get sucked into the game world, and roleplaying within it is just a small step away from how most people play TES games. You don’t really need to come up with…

People don’t watch Let’s Plays for the game. They watch it for the personality of the players. (many of us don’t even watch, we just listen to it in the background)

Why is “boss with a trillion HP” being slung around here like it’s an original or interesting concept? You don’t have to be a game designer to realize you could take any RPG and add a static number of zeroes onto the end of every number in the game and it would still play identically to how it did before.…

You make it sound like paying the $8 IAP for infinite credits basically gives you infinite lives. It sounds like it would break the game and make your play session infinitely long and ruin any opportunity for leaderboards to mean anything. (well, it seems IAPs almost always kill leaderboards, but they don’t have to)

When I posted this comment, there was no video, just the stream. Apparently, they didn’t see fit to mention that the video proof was added in an update, and definitely wasn’t there at the time of posting.

When I posted this, the video linked at the bottom was a link directly to the current stream. I hit Play and they were standing around in the hub you get to after the tutorial area - boss already beaten and absolutely nothing of interest happening. There was no other video on here.

Nope. I’m sorry, but nope. Infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters whatever; there’s no way this will actually get anywhere. In fact, I refuse to believe the above claims that a bunch of random Twitch commenters actually beat the Asylum Demon until I see video proof. I’m not going to take the internet’s word on this…

I don’t know why I haven’t bought this game. I have an insistence that I can’t stand competitive multiplayer-only games, even though I do often enjoy the gameplay involved. When I see videos of games like Battlefield and LoL, I certainly “get” it, I see why they’re popular, but I don’t feel all that much pull toward…

Memorizing a randomly generated game? Come on, this isn’t a Minecraft ‘all achievements’ speedrun, here.

“This always seemed like a bunch of bullshit to me—were they really going to say “hey, guys, it’s not happening”?”

Good thing I can’t edit my post to say New York players would *now* enjoy better connections, instead of ‘not’. Just gonna have to leave it confusing.

If you’re seriously trying to determine the game’s balance issues based off a single .gif showing nothing but shooting a gun at an empty corridor, you’re not here to make accurate accusations.

A Dell alternative caught your eye? Would it happen to be the one that was down to $350 (refurbished) on Prime Day? I came pretty close to pulling the trigger on that one, myself. 4K 60hz IPS panel with 99% adobe sRGB, I think it was.

Problem: Everyone isn’t in one geographical location. They weren’t all in California before, and they won’t all be in Chicago now that the servers are moved there.

Well, that’s... highly misleading. I can see how that might be the case now that someone’s directly referenced it, but I don’t see anywhere in the article’s wording that states that isn’t a video of the mod.

Yeah... there’s a huge juxtaposition of constant cutscenes here, in a medium where cutscenes were short and rare. I thought the whole point of 8-bit cinema was to make a retro-style “game” out of the movie, but there was almost no game to this at all.
