Oh, did my comment come as mean or arrogant? That wasn’t my intention. It was more meant like a joke, since I know that Luke, indeed, has played “Shadow Tactics”. Hence the emoji. I guess, it didn’t land, especially in the second paragraph. Sorry.

“Desperados III” came out of nowhere for you, Luke? So, you didn’t play the similar and excellent “Shadow Tactics” by the same developer and never heard of the “Desperados” game series of which this is the third entry? ;)

“The worst” I practically gifted to myself. One birthday (tenth or so) I could chose a new Game Boy game in our nearest toy store (read: a few villages away). And I dumbass chose “Paper Boy 2" (because my brother said it is cool) over “Wario Land”, because I didn’t want to play the bad guy. Fun fact: “Paper Boy 2" is…

Well, maybe we get a new "Star Wars"-racing game then? 

Ahhh, I love snow areas nearly as much as I love underwater sections, as long as they don’t fuck them up gameplay-wise (you know, weird controls and shit).

My god, "SSX3" was incredible in every regard. And I only played the inferior Game Cube version. Speaking of games, that deserve a Remaster... 

I’ve chosen the one where they didn’t destroy the Mass Relays. ... Oh, wait, no I didn’t, because they were destroyed in every fucking ending, which hasn’t been communicated, at wall, when you made your decision. That was an insanely stupid idea, which potentially killed of every logic possibility for sequels (and the…

Sorry, but I hate this take, because it’s just super ignorant.

I feel you. But isn’t that some fitting cyberpunk stuff for you? Bots who buy high-tech-(lifestyle-)products lightning fast via “The Web”, only too sell them at insane prices, to make shady (and shabby) people rich.

I don’t have any system to play it on, right now. And I guess this one won’t get ported to the Switch. ;)

By the time I will be able to do so, there will probably exist a Next-Gen-GOTY-version of “Cyberpunk 2077", that costs 20 bucks.

And even then, it depends on how much pseudo-cool edginess and wannabe-intellectual…

Thanks for the explanation. It still sounds weird, though. But "Code Geass" is definitely not the worst example of this. I have a feeling since the 2000s we see an increasing number of ridiculous titling of Japanese media outputs, especially in anime and videogames. Or it was just a shift from random German words to…

What is it with Japan and totally nonsensical titles? And where is the best of (translated: “Most unlikely sequence of random words”) list on that phenomenon?

Thank you! I didn’t expect such a compliment and I really appreciate it.

Gameplay and atmosphere are my most important aspects in videogames. The latter doesn’t necessarily need a good story (it’s more like that mediocre to bad or just failed storytelling can hamper an otherwise great atmosphere), but good…

“Cyberpunk 2077" was once my most-wanted game, because I simply love sci-fi and cyberpunk, “Blade Runner” is my favorite movie, there aren’t too many really great cyberpunk-games, with that level of ambition behind it and I like Keanu Reeves as much as the next guy.

I did not get used to microtransactions, ever and I still hate them in any game they’re in. They are inherently bad and morally wrong, no matter if just cosmetic or otherwise and always hurt the integrity of a game. But they won’t go away unless this whole bubble bursts. (sometimes I’m wishing for another video-game…

When you consider finishing your backlog, your backlog isn’t big enough.

Seriously, I think this is a doomed endeavor. I guess, I am not the only one with a backlog of at least over 300 games. It’s quiet simply not possible to play them all.

First, about the article:

In my opinion it is a weird approach to play the…

Even adults are allowed to have a sense of humor. ;) 

I wouldn’t have know how to ride a shield in “Breath of the Wild” until very late into the game, when a seldom appearing loading screen advice told me so, which was even before an NPC taught me this trick. And I don’t write that as a praise. Weird for a Nintendo game. I looked it up far earlier... on the internet,…

Yeah, that was my first Switch game and one of the few I finished after 230 hours. Interesting comparison, but I think I get it. Both have their focus on exploration and movement (well, okay that's rather unspecific) but on a very different scale and with very distinct ways of how they are played. But the design…

I totally get that, despite me being more of a completionist in those games. I especially find it super relaxing, when a game allows me to finish it rather straightforward - maybe do some optional objectives here and there - but return (even month or years later) after the end to do all the extra stuff. That way you…
