Seeing Splatoon 2 at #5, Splatoon 1 at #21 and Apex Legends at #30 is the biggest surprise for me. I don’t know what the online gaming preference of the Japanese playerbase is like. What little info I’ve gathered is that it’s either Monster Hunter or Final Fantasy MMOs. So this is quite interesting.

I’ve been playing No More Heroes III since christmas (an old friend gifted it to me since he remembered how I loved the first two games on the Wii). It is exactly what I wanted from a new entry in the series. The boss fights, the music, the video game and anime otaku stuff - it’s all there.

Nevermind, I forgot Kinja doesn’t support hyperlinks anymore. Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhulaUqpWPQ

Balan Wonderworld isn’t that bad. Maybe the way the costumes work is too 90's for some people (then again, fans wanted a spiritual successor to a Sega Saturn game, what did they expect?), but the game does have its value. The only problem is that it only pays off if you go for 100%, as well as do some research on the…

After having done 100% on this game recently, here are a few additional tips:

That’s the only logical consequence after both Anthem and Marvel’s Avengers have shown that games-as-a-service means nothing if the core gameplay loop isn’t perfect and receives constant updates. If not even an IP like Marvel can sell a live service game, then an original IP has it even harder.

One website I can recommend is PC Gaming Wiki. It contains info on where to buy a game, whether fanmade patches are available (be it for compatibility, bugfixes or graphics enhancements) and provides help with some common errors that might show up.

The game looks fine to me. If there is anti-aliasing, it’s so subtle you’ll never notice it unless you’re sitting literally in front of the TV screen. (I play on a 1080p tv, though. Maybe it’s more noticeable on a larger-resolution tv).

What great timing for this article, I beat the final boss just a few hours ago. It’s objectively a good game, however there are a few things that are not to my tastes.

Firstly, the music. The field theme and its variations are good, the normal combat theme is good. Viscint is great. Everything else sounds the same to…

Players can see for themselves if this change in Capcom’s approach is apparent when the demo for Monster Hunter Rise comes out on October 13. The PC version will feature voice chat, 4K visuals

Open-world wouldn’t make the exploration part any better. You need some form of walls or barriers because unlike Breath of the Wild that just rolls with the “be able to climb up everything” mentality, Metroid/metroidvanias live from the movement limitations.
Making these barriers believable in a large area like in Far…

Why is it that we live in the year 2021 and yet all these new logos are designed like we all have computers from the early 90's? What happened to shadows, gradients and other effects? Why does nobody use fancy fonts or symbols anymore?

Impressive! I have a 13-year badge myself (created when I got The Orange Box back in 2007).

I’m glad that the game supports Steam Controller Config natively (you open the config menu from an in-game option), but the default controls are not to my liking as well. Here is what I settled with:

Although personally, I think Deus Ex: Mankind Divided takes the cake. Even after all these years after its initial release, and even after using an SSD, that game still takes a while to load and makes my GPU work a lot. Oh and it freezes on the loading screen, I can’t remember the last time a PC game did that on me.

“So it can run any game at low settings?”

huh... guess I generalized all the games too much. The videos aren’t loading for me for some reason, so I assumed things from Haze and The Darkness (the only games out of those that I’ve played). Sorry my mistake.

The reason why these games, as well as a few others mentioned in other comments, weren’t covered on this list is because they are THIRD-person shooters, not First-person. Also, the time range is the seventh console generation (2006-2012). Area 51 is the only exception here since it was released close to that…

My friend has been playing WoW since 2018 (joined in Battle for Azeroth). He’s into raiding and mythic+ which is endgame stuff. I gave the game a try with Shadowlands and played the story quests and did some dungeons, nothing serious though. I only played for two months but my friend always kept playing for a…
