I don’t, but the short of it is all the events of the game are orchestrated by the god of the world. The god is basically a battery that keeps the world running and eventually the god needs to find someone to replace them before they are completely drained. So the god creates a series of tests and cataclysms to find…

Yeah, the game is an endless cycle of killing and becoming god.

In Dragon’s Dogma you can attack and dethrone god, become god, attack and dethrone yourself, new game plus, attack and dethrone your god-self again, become god, then attack and dethrone yourself again.

I wouldn’t say it’s over-saturated. I think the bigger problem is what you hit on: the people backing these new games want take a bite out of the success of an Overwatch or what-have-you but don’t really have the support needed to reach that goal. You can’t just pour millions into a game and expect it to compete with…

I’d put Little Witch Academia on there because it’s just about as wholesome as as action/fantasy anime staring young girls gets. It’s got that over-the-top Trigger animation and humor (sometimes it decides it’s a mecha anime for no reason) with just a bunch of sweet characters.

I remember I beat this game as a kid on December 31st, 1997, and I only remember that specific detail because it was the first New Years I stayed awake for, this was the game me and my dad played to stay awake (and he encouraged me to keep trying even as I complained the game was frickin impossible), and it was the…

God, I actually beat this game as a kid and I still never learned how to use the flip ability consistently. As far as I know it was just kinda random, and if you messed up Scar would jump on you and maul you to death.

I’ve only played a few rounds as Loba and she seems pretty solid. She might take some getting used to, but her abilities show promise.

Ok so it’s been a few days and I’d genuinely appreciate it if people could stop responding about how easy this boss fight is. I’ll concede you are big strong gamers and way better at the game than me if you admit the fight is pretty BS.

And then the fight is followed by Rufas, who is fittingly the cheapest boss in the game.

Im in the same boat. I order a copy only to have it cancelled and refunded a few days later. I used to be big into collecting stuff, so I love having a little box sitting on my shelf. I don’t buy too many games nowadays, but the ones I do I really like to have a physical copy of. It almost hurt to throw in the towel…

I wonder if King’s Canyon will be added to the map rotation or if you’ll be able to select your map. I love KC and would like the option to play on it, but I definitely feel like World’s End is the better map.

That reminds me of a boss in Monster Hunter World (from the header image). There’s monster that’s basically an extremely powerful baby dragon that you have to kill before it learns how to use it’s abilities and escape into the larger world. So it starts out the fight kinda clumsy and slow, but by the end it’s…

So wait. I got a spare Master Ball because I’m one of those loons who always hordes it away and catches legendaries with Timer Balls and stuff.

I’m happy with King’s Canyon coming back too, but I also like World’s End. I think KC is more vertical, but in a kinda messy way. Like, you get cement strongholds overlooking canyons full of multi-story buildings and close-together shacks. So it was more vertical but also a lot more claustrophobic.

2019 was kind of like that for me too playing the big games. A lot of them had qualifiers like “this game is amazing but...” or “this game is great if you like...”. Untitled Goose Game is the only nomination that I have nothing like that too add because it’s practically inscrutable for what it is: a comedy staring a…

OK, fair. That was a bit rude.

Sorry, officer. I didn’t know I was talking to the pedant police.

A quick Google search says that Game Pass downloads weren't included as sales in the publisher's sales report.

Last I heard the game had over a million copies sold. A lot of major news outlets were reporting on it because it was that big of a sensation. Untitled Goose Game’s popularity and Blizzard banning Blitzchung were pretty much the two big gaming stories that broke into the mainstream press last year.
