Hey NotGoodAtConfrontaions,

I picked up DD:DA for Xbox One about a year ago and I imagine it was those same ”issues” (at least they were issues for me) that had me put down the controller as far as that game in two weeks. The difficulty spikes and swings, less than straightforward leveling, inventory, and map systems along with quest order held…

The Sims 2 was, which I think for many, the front side of the gap before I started playing the Sims 4 years after release, and I never bought or got into many of the defining expansions that made #2 so much better than #1. With that said like all matters relative to gaming: personal taste, opinions, and the nostalgia…

I’m in the same boat. I have never played a premade Sim and I can’t tell if there is some level of implied fanfic going on here and I’m getting suckered. Besides the fact that Bella exists in the Sims 4, why isn’t there any mention of some storyline going on in that, the newest and still being developed, game? 

I own (the Arisen version on X One)it but I didn’t get too far. The jankiness that you speak of kept me from really getting into it. When I was enjoying the game it was good but there are some aspects of it that were serious negatives for me. First is sorta a twofer and those are the lack of direction and the fast…

I am still waiting for the online component to feel like it is worth playing. The personal stigma I hold towards the term “beta” felt like an insult when I bought it but now about 6 months later I am really disappointed. I guess I will be holding on to the game indefinitely but I won’t be holding my breath for things…

It’s hard not to ask this as a direct question, but doesn’t it seem like as lore builds specifically the Thalmor vein that runs through the last two games that is is hard for the game/stories to make an emphasis on weirder things being impactful?

I stopped asking for/buying/playing Gameboys with the GBA, whatever year that was but I have followed the series on my computer through other avenues and resources and if you’re a sometimes anime fan who likes wacky games these games are fun from beginning to end even if you can’t stand being wrong and used a guide…

It was like $6.25 on a blowout sale two weeks ago too.

I hope the budget version isn’t a 3DS replacement in the sense that it has an integral screen.

This just the type of game that gives me a pang of jealousy toward my PS4 and Switch owning console comrades. I always told myself I would get one or the other to be alongside my X One but it never happened and I feel like it’s too late in the console cycle to shell out for one, maybe with the Switch being the…

I don’t really think that I can add too much after what I have read through the comments but I’ll let my comment fingers fly.

Has a Switch ever been cheaper than $266?

Has a Switch ever been cheaper than $266?

No doubt that this does look like the best Pokémon game graphically, but if you’ve played Ultra Sun/Moon on Citra with max resolution... wow.

I’d be okay with it as long as it is a separate game mode.

I wonder if all of the content in the last two years says that Sims 4 is coming to the end of its lifecycle or they have realized that they should just keep making this game better and forget about a Sims 5, at least forget about it for a long time.

I’m glad that you mentioned Destiney in your preview because although the feels different in some ways it feels very similar in most, at least to me. I’m curious what kind of appetite is left for this sort of game structure.

I’m almost the same way but I persuade myself not to before even attempting solo in the multiverse. I had to buy MH World and it is sort of solo-able but I ended going to the mercy of forums and LFGs

Nintendo seems like it always has perfect timing as to when they retire a handheld and when an emulator reaches full capability and then some. Have you seen the smoothing options for Sun Ultra on Citra? Amazing! Playing full screen through HDMI on a TV at max resolution is pretty incredible, it stops feeling like a…

Once again I must capitulate to my need to produce unsolicited commentary.
