I love how Red Dead Redemption is always the go-to for people’s PC port demands. All I remember from that game is awful voice acting, hilarious ludonarritive dissonance, and a massive boring space full of minigames. PC players really aren’t missing as much as they think.

Bummer, it’s a bit of a shame. In the article format, they’re fit to width, and when enlarged they’re fit to height. No actual resolution scrolling available. Ah well, at least there are links to the originals.

Is Kinja on the fritz again? Magnifying them actually makes them smaller by smashing them onto one screen, and there are no options to scroll through images.

Fantastic game, but aside from being very pick-up-and-play, I can’t imagine playing this on mobile. It requires precision control to perform well, which seems near impossible without a controller. Even with one I struggle to perform well.

This is stupid and would never work obviously, but I would love for games’ standard pricing system to be “pay what you want,” and let buyers adjust the price after purchase. For example, I paid $20 for Wolfenstein TNO, and that game was worth less than my time. On the other hand, I paid $15 for Binding of Isaac and…

If that was discouraging, take a look at this year’s AGDQ run of it. 100% on the base game + gehenna for me was a bit over 30 hours. The runner did it all live in 1h 20m... turned the game into a physics platformer.

Good... aside from sidestepping metacritic, they always did seem even more shallow than scores. Make people read. If they can’t read, you don’t want them in the comments section just for some cheap hits anyway. My favorite recent satire on review scores:

I particularly enjoyed how Ubisoft completely ignored the new sale rules and just had their own dailies/flash sales. Sales that everyone missed because they were told they could just check the first day and see all the sales. Just icing on top of Uplay proving that they really have no idea how to steam/pc in general.

That’s a fine rule, but I don’t disagree with people being vocal against it either. Anyone can and should pursue their dreams, no matter the barriers, and all that. But as soon as you put it up on Kickstarter, Steam Greenlight, anything that sells the thing for money or asks for funding, that thing is also fully open…

I feel like hardware is going in the other direction, to be honest. PCs more locked down for dedicated purposes and separate TV/monitor hybrids as people demand more freedom to choose where they do what they do.

I can think of better uses for a Xocoscalpere.

Microtransactions.

Shoot, I didn’t know you started another one since the Klepocalypse. May need to make a youtube account and do that subscribe thing I’ve been forcefully hearing so much about around the webs.

Looking forward to reading Yannick’s gameplay breakdowns and not bothering to play it myself.

I’m sorry you felt the need to dig into this so much, when most of us consider awards irrelevant regardless of any questionably fabricated controversy. Will just catch the full 2 minutes of WORLD PREMIEREs on youtube tomorrow.

I got chills. Maybe because it’s 42 degrees out, but the art is also great.

You didn’t cheat and already finish it on your own time, did you? *squints*

If only alexrecker.com had a cost per visit ad revenue model before this article...

I believe this is NISA’s first foray onto Steam actually, since Idea Factory self-published Neptunia. Either way, they’ve no doubt seen how successful Japanese RPGs have been on the platform recently. I think Disgaea is going to make a killing on PC.

Great article. Must say I’ll have to take Klepek’s advice on the Snowball, since I’ve been watching mario maker mornings and it sounds great.
