I kinda hope this has people talking more about Backbone because I need to know I’m not crazy and that the story really is an indefensible heap of mangled messages and grimdark-for-grimdark’s sake

I backed it on KS, I played the Prologue and by-and-large liked it but it also upset the hell outta me

There are people who would like to see friends of mine dead and Chappelle has declared he stands with them.

95% of the game can be played as a solo experience. The remaining 5% has automatic party matching functionality, and most party-based instances only last about 30 minutes, tops.

Honestly, you’re the first person I’ve ever heard say they enjoyed Harmony of Dissonance more than Circle of the Moon.

Much appreciated!

A side effect of all this is, I now have a suspicion where the framing scenes featured in No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle got their inspiration.

Okay you gotta tell me: how do you make Charlie the invader? I love how there’s actually multiple ways you can kill most of the Visionaries and it’s interesting seeing how they differ. (I know there’s three different ways to deal with Aleksis but the only one I’ve ever put into motion is luring him away from the party…

A thing I’ve come to consider of late is that BioShock’s story sucks. The twist is literally the only thing it has going for it.

I’d argue we’re still not at a point where the average person is going to be able to simply stream games at any reasonable fidelity. High-speed, low-ping Internet is expensive, more so if you’re on mobile data. I’m lucky enough to have fiber Internet and an unlimited data plan to work with, but if people can’t afford…

Hidden Evil sucked. It’s also the only one of these I played, so it’s the only one I can personally comment on.

I still need to play The Final Cut. I loved the original so much.

Anyone else remembering the thing in Super Mario World where sometimes you’d approach a Charging Chuck and it would turn out it was actually three Charging Chucks who’d all jump out when you’d get close?

Holy shit. Nothing I’d read about Twelve Minutes prepared me for a fiasco like this.

No, NFTs are bullshit. The technology that powers them devours electricity and the only “ownership” they offer is contingent on the services that verify said ownership and deliver said content continuing to operate in perpetuity.

Thank you so much for this article just to expose a new generation to the original pink!brunette!Berri.

That’s not the Death Egg. The Death Egg is the giant knockoff Eggman-faced Death Star featuring prominently in the Sonic 2-3-Knuckles arc.

Having flashbacks to Hate Plus’s “Level 4 Revive Materia” achievement.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that the game’s subtitle in the video is 奇怪生物の森 (“Kikai Seibutsu no Mori,” “The Forest of Strange Creatures”), rather than 豚王の最期 (“Butaou no Saigo,” “The End of the Pig King”)?

Considering it’s a character name, I’m thinking it was probably ディッグホル, playing on the English words “dig” and “hole” and the Japanese word “horu” all at once.
