Humble Bundle isn’t awful, they’re the best place to buy games as far as I know. Everyone is owned by some evil megacorp. That’s the norm in the dystopian terrorscape we live in. You also shouldn’t put words into people’s mouths online, cuz I never said anything about IGN (and yes, I know they own Humble Bundle). If…

Ahhh the ole help the rich get richer and the poor get poorer scam.

Healing/Support characters and classes are always soooo underrated. It’s my go to in tabletop RPGs - support characters always get really cool abilities that are the most fun too. Healing WoW raids is also a ton of fun. I’ve often picked support as a main in games like Pillars of Eternity. Yeah....they’re great.

Now i’m doing date checking to see what RPGs came out on the PS1 before FF7 and surprisingly FF7 was pretty early compared to most of them.

Every time I see a costume like that I simultaneously think “damn that’s incredible” and “I could never do that, I go to the bathroom way too often”

Did you check out two point hospital? it’s on my (very long) list of games to try. I’m also kinda hooked on my Switch so all PC games have kinda gone on the back burner

I totally agree - casual is the way to go. Even so, the game is real expensive just because of the sheer amount of cards. It’s hard not to just keep getting sucked in because the game is, basically, the originator of pay to win. You will literally always do better if you pay more - always. That’s been a problem with…

Playing Magic isn’t about whether or not you’re being scammed, it’s about whether or not you’re ok with being scammed cuz the game is so good. Anyone with an even remote understanding of how Wizards works understands that. Of the dozens of players, semi-competitive players, store owners, MtG bloggers, etc. I know they…

It’s weird you compare having a gun to your head to a scam....forcing people to do something literally is the opposite of what a scam does. A scam manipulates people into desiring a product and getting as much money from them as they can. Magic (and for that matter, DnD and Wizards in general) is SUPER scammy and has…

I’ve heard great things about Keyforge - my friends own a shop and have been running Keyforge tournaments. I know nothing about it tho. I’ll have to read up and see what the cost to fun ratio is because I am done with Magic and never getting back into something similar ever again heh. I still play the occasional…

now that is awesome....i’d play it just for that. Drafting is the best!!!! Is there any sort of reward system for winning drafts at all?

As an on again/off again long term Magic player I can definitely say that these card games are all exorbitant scams. Magic is a huge money sink and scam, just because it’s incredibly well designed and fun and the greatest card game of all time doesn’t change that. They force people to constantly buy and update cards…

god that character creator is goddamn amazing....

It’s just wild to me that the last few years nearly all my favorite games have been indies - Cuphead, Darkest Dungeon, Celeste, Into the Breach, Hollow Knight, Golf Story, Inside, etc. and many (not all!) AAA games I’ve found to be kinda boring or repetitive or just too damn long.

I’m excited to see Kotaku’s (and specifically Splitscreen’s) coverage of the VGAs. I feel like indie games are just getting more and more cred but still lag behind the AAAs because of people’s (particularly in the US) obsession with bigger and better things and award shows are celebrations of that spectacle mindset.…

It’s amazing how manipulated us nerds are by these big gaming corporations. It’s really pathetic. Like any of these corporate managers give a shit about what video games meant to us growing up. There may be some low level understanding of an appreciation of games but they care about money first and foremost. I totally…

I think a key element that will help with this game is adding back an adventure mode. Even tho this one is smaller, I remember how fun the old adventure mode was, how much fun the target hitting mode was (I forget what it was called) etc. It draws you into the game more and then the fighting game majority of it just…

great (and accurate) review. My personal opinion is that it’s extremely buggy and it’s also mediocre and the survival genre still doesn’t really know how to make a good game that fits what a survival game is. So we have this mediocre game, sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it’s boring, with a ton of bugs and it came out…

My favorite Critic memory is the fake Jurassic Park sequel they make which is hilarious and now in retrospect is wayyyy better than the garbage they’ve been making the last few years heh

Your outlook that history is some unbiased observer and about “how the world works” as if people don’t publish copyright free information makes me sure you think the same of the free market. You do realize people actively work to catalogue and keep records of information, books, art, history, etc. and that if “history…
