I’m not the only one asking this question, even in this comments section. Dead Space started off promising but ultimately became shallow and repetitive and not even scary. You can *objectively* point to repeated gameplay elements in the first game and how it threw prolonged suspense out the window in favor of big loud…

Don’t get me wrong, I was initially blown away by my experience with the first game. It felt like a new wave in the new gen: something truly transformative. But by the time it concludes, it doesn’t really do anything interesting with its new formula past those first 15 hours or so.

I remember the original Deadspace as a fun take on Resident Evil 4, but with some serious design and writing shortcomings that made the game feel a bit wrote by the time it stumbles towards its noisy and violent end. It was a really cool, albeit easy, experience. I particularly like the inclusion of the HUD on diegetic…

I hear Mario Golf has some pretty straight-golf courses with just a bit of Mushroom Kingdom dressing (mmmm). You don’t have to play the wacky Rush mode for single player, I don’t think. Too bad it’s gotten middling reviews, so I won’t be trying it anytime soon. I did very much love Golf Story and wish I could just…

The patently gross thing is that this is a clearly fucking dishonest and bad faith take for Wells to have. If he spent half a minute on self-reflection, he’d see the difference between the games he used to work on vs. the games ND publishes now. You can, in fact, look up end credits for Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Jak 3,…

That was really considerate of them to make this game just for me. I never thought these parts of my “video game things I like” Venn Diagram would overlap.

Yes I think it would take some significant contortions of logic and the imagination to demonstrate any sort of damages in this case. Still, as a big corp you can get a court to issue orders in your favor on the criminal side and win a suit on the civil side with some overinflated damages estimate the jury may or may…

It’s more of a “fight it or don’t” thing. Pretending you didn’t get a C&D just means you get a second one and then a summons AKA “We’ll see you in court”. Once you’re summoned, you’re going to be threatened with paying for damages and legal fees. Provable damages in this case may not be significant (lawyers’ ability…

Wow it’s like I’m looking at the real thing!

I think the act of implicitly sanctioning the use of a modded game for some organization-backed event is sticking in their craw. Big software corps tend to treat mods as “IP theft” because they involve tampering with the protected code and then leveraging the old version as part of the separate product of the new…

I, for one, hate it when you trigger a three-star wanted level for the most bullshit of reasons.

Man the Commodore 64 had some amazing capabilities, but so many games had such poor presentation and were locked into this small-minded approach that a game could only be some small idea. This Usagi Yojimbo game actually has really good presentation, though, and stokes the imagination on par with something from the…

Tsk tsk these guys clearly haven’t played Turtles in Time Reshelled. Don’t they know the hits are supposed to barely stun enemies and feel like you’re whacking a fiberglass phone pole with an empty Twinkie wrapper? And why aren’t the sprites overly rendered 3d models skating around on top of a background? They’re…

Well the perspective depends on the type of socialism you think would be ideal. Pure, conceptual socialism does mean all property is owned by the collective, so wealth and income and home ownership would be foreign concepts in such a system.

Being a freelancer and having contacts with people from other states, the sad fact of the matter is that being in LA still meant something prior to COVID, and still might in the future. We have events here other places don’t.

“Job classism” is indeed a thing that is bad and needs to be done away with, so I will concede to you there. All labor is equally valuable, and our arbitrary impressions of value based on capitalistic systems or media/cultural-influenced perceptions are just perpetuating issues that hold back meaningful social reforms.

It’s a comment section, bub. I’m venting in between work. At least I’m being honest about my lack of info on this guy. I’m also more commenting on streamer culture in general than making any specific judgements about person’s said life.
