You’re the second person to recommend Saga to me, and it appears to be relatively inexpensive, will give that a shot.

Thanks, both Sandman and Planetes appear to be right up my alley, I’d not heard of either.

It was, sorry. I’m kind of a jerk. The only ones I’ve read are Bone, Chew, and Fables. All of which were great. I’d appreciate any recommendations, even if they don’t fall into the style of those. Really I think I’d enjoy anything outside of cheesy superhero tropes.

Thanks for the recommendations!

It’s not about knowing what you want to play at all. Imagine Gamestop filled with 95% Wii shovelware. 5% of the games are amazing, but your choices are to either sift through thousands of games to find them, or hope a major media outlet has covered them for you. That’s the Steam platform since Greenlight. And just…

Cool, added section 8 and squirrel girl to the reading list. I love the comic format, but hate superhero nonsense so rarely get into them (aside from Deadpool).

Aside from the knee-jerk “make a better or more interesting game that stands out” which immediately comes to mind, he does make the usual solid complaints vs. PC gaming. Steam in particular is greatly suffering from lack of quality control, leading to app store-like flooding that drowns out decent games. Bundle…

Mine involves my parents as well. Growing up with the NES, my gaming life was dominated by platformers, which didn’t change when I got a PSX... croc, spyro, crash etc. For whatever reason one day my father decided to bring home a surprise gift, and he did his research. Suikoden II. I had not played a real RPG before,…

Platformers are really the single genre where I can forgive collectibles. When the ultimate goal is to input precise strings of commands to reach new places, it makes sense to give seasoned players more challenge by placing collectibles in hard to reach places. This is still part of the core platforming design of the…

Couldn’t agree more. You can call fluff collectathons optional until you’re blue in the face, but they almost always detract from the game by simply existing. You mentioned Red Dead Redemption, which is a huge offender to me. The writing implies a time-sensitive story and driven hero, yet has the option to do…

Goat Simulator is also fully free on Amazon Underground.

My first ever game played competitively online (and also my last). My opponent quit in the middle of a fight, and I didn’t yet know that rage-quitting was a thing. I sent him a PSN message asking why they left. They responded “u bolt spam”. I replied, “Ok, sorry about that. I’m new to this and am still learning…

I approve of any pre-order related news to be presented this way going forward.

PSA: Threes is on amazon underground, for those who don’t have it yet

I’m glad I had a friend to play with who was actually able to enter the Blitz combos on the fight stick. I could barely handle swordtech timing.

Just open the door, Konami. There is so much unused brilliance wasting away in the closet.

The squabble over how it’s handled in MGSV is entirely missing the point anyway. The fact is that microtransactions are never justified, for any reason.

You hear that, terrible Greenlight devs? No need to publish nonsense with the bandicam logo! Now you can publish nonsense without it!

Konami makes games? Well that’s a cool little trivia fact. HIT THE LEVER
