I would have thought the acquisition by Epic would have created a financial buffer capable of sustaining the Mac and Linux side of Rocket League, but I can also understand difficulties in making “non-standard” versions keep pace with the updates.

Thank you. It wasn’t the work with the forklifts that bounced me out, but (ironically, since it’s my career) it was the racing that I struggled to optimize to the necessary win to advance the story. This coincided with a time in my life where my career took priority anyway, but Shenmue, and to a greater extent, the…

These items are simply cosmetic - there is no functionality that isn’t available in the core items. You have to buy lirerally nothing else to play on equal terms with those that spend hundreds of dollars.

Codemasters games usually have a broad band of accessibility options to them while remaining grounded in some reality/relevance to life, so I’d recommend something like GRID or DiRT, where you’re going to have fun, too. Project CARS has a nice variety, and will even support PSVR! Maybe having headlook will help? Good…

Hello, everyone! Not able to pop in often, but wanted to share where I am and what may be in store this weekend for “Initial D(L)“.

I’m not saying a game CAN’T be salacious here, but protagonist Date’s dirty puns and perverted antics permeates and derails every aspect of the narrative over time. In short, Blade Runner and Leisure Suit Larry / Freddy Pharkas don’t mix together.

Congratulations on Astral Chain! I started chapter 10 last night, and I’m hoping to finish it this weekend. I just changed colors on my Legions last night for the first time, and I realized that I should stop playing before I get lost in the weeds...

Thanks for the tip! I like that it’s silly enough for those who aren’t Homestar Runner fans can still get a good laugh from it, and the Rule Book Album will be great to listen to together...

I definitely agree they lay their advertising and sense of superiority on a little strong, but I agree it’s all in the name of maintaining theme, and it’s certainly more relatable to my friends whose idea of fantasy role-playing is sitting through an Avengers movie.

I have Tragdar(Trogdor): The Bard(Board) Game as well, but we haven’t gotten a group together yet to play! That sounds hilarious, and in a way I am disappointed that we all didn’t learn the end-game mechanic the way you did, but I can keep it a secret for the others when I finally do find folks to join in. I’m so glad…

I have yet to complete Link’s Awakening DX on my 3DS, and I’m currently playing around in SmileBASIC on that system, so I’m loathe to put that code away, lest I forget where I am, but maybe it’s worth spending a few hours and making it to that Wind Fish...

It would end up being some type of LocoRoco meets Thomas Was Alone meets Wonderful 101! For sure, unique verbs like “absorb”, “separate”, and “the boy Wonder Twin metamorphose” would be cool, especially if you could change states...I’m now imagining your composition being reactive to some materials, causing them to…

Agreed that once you rule out anthropomorphic characters (including Kirby and the like), you are right that few options are available - A Dog’s Life by Frontier Developments is a decent one on PS2.

I put Doom 2016 on “I’m Too Young To Die” and I’m happy with how I can just pick it up cold and enjoy it. It gives me a lot of satisfaction in killing without too much frustration because I’m not very good and still get the same platforming and puzzle solving exploration that also makes Doom fun.

As someone that was watching a scene analysis of Jurassic Park last night, and being blown away by the complexity of framing and positioning of characters in different moments of their journey through the film, I can understand why they might have phoned-home the artwork. As an engineer and not an artist, I can only…

Derrick Sanskrit was just talking about Telling Lies this week, and I love that these games have a co-op/party capability to them... though it sounds like this one might be a little too intimate for certain types of parties.

Oh, boy, this weekend is busy for both games and work! I’m in St. Louis for work, but I…

For some unexplained reason, I’m trying to play games on three fronts this weekend: I have Animal Crossing: New Leaf in my 3DS, and I’m cleaning up all the daggone flowers that have overrun my town as a result of that Keep the Town Beautiful ordinance. I did it to reduce picking weeds if I left the game for a month,…

Thank you for loving Warhammer40K while still realizing its ludicrousness and occasional banality. I have always liked the science fantasy concepts and the overall themes, but any attempt to seriously delve into the lore turned me off, because it was no longer fun.

It is tough to have an introspective experience during an interactive one, their prefixes inherently contradict each other, but certainly sometimes it’s able to be pulled off quite well, it’s just that the player needs to do the heavy lifting and the game needs to stand back and let it happen. If I wasn’t still trying…

I genuinely appreciate your sharing your “not gaming” with the group! We all need a break from time to time, and that you still care enough about the community to share what’s going on is what makes this place wonderful.
