I heartily agree, as I had intended to communicate — even though that I'm not a bad enough dude to just say so. "Can't help loving" — more like "can't help the president", amiright?!

I don't know, I actually liked the fact that you could not max out every social link. It's something I also thought about when talking about Bully recently with the Gameologicans:

Not politically-laced at all, I have a big, although inverse interest in this piece of information as well. The review makes it sound like it could be a possible gateway back to the genre for me, but, you know… I struggled to see the end of both Mother 3 and Ni no kuni last year, and those were Mother 3 and Ni no kuni!…

[Since I have literally been too late to participate in any reasonable discussions during the last weeks, firing off comments that only the seldom lost soul might hear from afar as a faint echo, I'll allow myself to re-post something I wrote earlier today, in an article that was already dead… sorry, I hope that's not…

Edit: I "moved" the post over to Keyboard Geniuses, in order to maybe a get a few more answers… but I asked what video game titles people think of as genuinely great.

The day you get to your "Weird Russian" folder and start playing Pathologic, let me know… I might join you, and god knows it's a difficult journey to make if you're alone.

Just a bit of advice, but: are you familiar with the fact that Dark Souls on PC is, in fact, limited to a supbar resolution — but that there is a mod out there that let you choose the proper resolution for your monitor?

(I doubt that somebody is going to read this, but still…)

"Ghostbusters"! That was great, actually. Or at least, I remember it being great. (Very difficult, though…)

My original comment went where comments go to die, it seems, so here's another try:

Generally, that is the way to go for me as well.
But the replaying thing… well, it would be far from me to replay a game immediately after I have finished it for the first time. However, there are certain comfort blanket-like games I return to once every few years, simply because it feels good doing so. (More often…

Basically, howlongtobeat.com has become a fixture in my gaming vita. I have a GoogleDoc in which I write down titles from my backlog (not all of them, mind you) in a vague hierarchy of "this does interest me a bit", paired with the time they are going to take me to finish, according to hltb. Games that are around 5-6…

A little anecdote there: People say that the first "Thief"-game was inspiring horror so much partly because the penalty for dying — abyssimal loading times — was really making you feel miserable. It would be a stretch to say that this was so by design, but, yeah… you will never be able to play the game the same way…

That reminds me of my first gaming System ever (after Nintendo Game&Watch, anyway): My parents, ever the lovely scrimpers, made sure that we would always stay behind the wave of current tech by at least one generation. So when all my friends got an NES, I got a Commodore 64/128-combo, undoubtely bought second-hand…

The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa.

Almost surprised that in the "Game I'll still be playing at this time next year" category, there was no Roguelike/lite nominated, considering that they were such a big deal this year. (My nominee would, incidentally, be "Spelunky HD" — even though I had played the free version lots and lots before, the daily challenge…

You know, just today in the "Tech" section of this country's most popular free newspaper, they wrote about "!The Four Tech Trends of 2014! (!)".

I am quite irrationally upset that PopCap made it an XBox exclusive. I think there is nothing wrong with either one of us — people who can't enjoy Peggle are dead inside, anyway.

Have you seen that a new "in-between episode" called The Entertainment was released about two weeks ago? (It's not on the Steam version of the game, but you can download it on the dev's website.) The last time they did this with Limits and Demonstrations, the next "regular" part was released shortly after. So while,…

That will maybe come as a surprise to you, but there is a noble tradition of games dealing with this all-too-human, dare I even say, existential issue.
I can't personally vouch for Don't Shit Your Pants, but Icarus Proudbottom In: The Curse of The Chocolate Fountain is very well worth your time.
