aka “Early Access”

I was just listening to a “Top 10 Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1-4 Songs” list the other day and now it makes me wonder - what’s the music going to be like? I already love the gameplay we’re seeing as well as the recent additions, but the soundtrack is what’s going to keep me going. 

Last I checked Sonic Frontiers isn’t out yet. Let me get my hands on the game so I can make fair comparisons against some random indie online runner-royale. What Sonic feels like is different than what he looks like on paper, same with every game preview.

Earlier this week I was trying to find the Steam Next Fest demos and ended up in the Free game section first. Sorting by release date I was surprised to find how many decent looking games there were. I can’t speak on the quality of these games as I didn’t download any, however there is quite a long list.

Open and shut case Johnson. Sprinkle some eternal orbs on them and get out of here.

Some indie games innovate, some stagnate, but most just repopulate. Also makes it easier from a rookie developer to think “Okay people enjoy Hollow Knight and it sold well so I’ll make Crowsworn.”

Agree. I started using a guide to figure out the puzzles but because there’s nothing in between I just stopped playing and watched a playthrough to see the ending. Definitely would not have been worth my time trying to figure out the solutions myself. To be fair though I’m not big into puzzle or adventure games…

I can excuse the negative reviews because I’ll be that person who spends 100 hours in a mobile game (over years) and not pay a cent. So far I don’t see Diablo Immortal being anywhere near the amount of content Genshin is planning on providing, including their other brand new games, nor do I plan on playing it but,…

Having spent so much time in indie games, real time strategies, and isometric ARPGs, the one thing I’m beginning to appreciate more in bigger, more open games is the world you can invest yourself in. Just the environments and ambience that allows you to immerse yourself in is what excites me. Too many games focus on…

Compared to what Sony showed during their presentation I would say Microsoft came out on top. Granted not everyone is going to enjoy every game shown of course. My personal favorites were Arc 2, Starfield, and Persona collection if only because it means a PC release.

Only issue I have is where the IGN previewer keeps doing the ground pound move killing all momentum. I’m almost positive that Sega has to have incorporated some lock-on mechanic where nearby pink rings or black rails are targeted allowing you to dash between obstacles and keep moving forward. The sudden stop and start…

They are just selling the means to play emulated games, not the games themselves. Because we all know people who emulate games are playing 100% legal backups of physical copies they own.

Only thing holding me back is the price. If I’m going to invest close to $300 for an emulation machine then I should just save up another $400 and buy a Steamdeck even if the internals are outdated in a year or whenever they’re readily available because I can emulate everything and then some.

I bought Vampire Survivor when it was 20% off because when you’re broke you have to be really picky about which games you buy. I really enjoyed the first couple hours, but eventually just grinding out loot to improve your character like a rogue like becomes tedious. I’ll keep plugging at it but the addictive nature is…

The Green Lantern was good. Fantastic Four(4) was good. Batman v Superman was good. Suicide Squad was... not as good as it’s sequel lets say. With all that in mind, The Last Jedi was good. And the best part of Rise of the Skywalker was at the very end of the movie when Rey says (spoiler) “My name? Rey. Rey Skywalker.”

To someone who doesn’t understand physics or math, Mr. Gomez was asking some good questions. The problem was Mr. Starck tried to explain from an engineering background. I don’t want to belittle Mr. Gomez and say he needed to be explained to like a 5 year old, but if the guy never took physics or barely passed high…

That’s 1 second in. Let your imagination do the rest.

Spoiler - GTA VI will contain an always online single player mode where prices of cars and upgrades are drastically increased, but can be remedied with purchasable in game currency. Don’t worry though, after you subscribe to the GTAO+ service with the premium membership perk for only $15 per month, everything will be…
