Me, my partner and our two cats grinding away.

  • Amazon Games confirms MMO New World has a year left before it goes offline permanently

    Jump

  • I actually really like it. I can't remember if I got the game for free or relatively cheap. But it scratched the itch that Elder Scrolls Online had. In other words, it fulfills the itch I used to have when I played WoW nonstop as a kid, while also being more "action-y", and you can play it solo with hundreds of other people playing it solo.

    I don't remember if there was a subscription or microtransactions were aggressive. But I do remember spending 2 months straight just going around chopping wood.

    I remember quitting it because there was nothing to really DO with that wood.

  • Epic Game Store’s free giveaways just cause a huge spike in Steam sales, reveals New Blood CEO

    Jump

  • “I used to think EGS was a Marketing Black Hole,” the New Blood CEO said, “but turns out having your game be free on Epic is great advertising for Steam sales!” Alongside the boost in Steam sales, Blood West also saw a jump in console sales as well while it was free on Epic.

    That's incredible.

    Oshry is far from the only developer to point out issues with the Epic Games Store. Just recently, in an interview with FRVR, Painkiller and Witchfire creator Adrian Chmielarz explained that Epic doesn’t feel like “home” to players, and that causes many to simply clock out, saying “EGS is a shop, and Steam is a community.”

    I have a lot of free games on Epic. But when I want to play with my gaming group, we're using Steam. It's just where everybody is.

  • CEO came on stage wearing a "Make FPS great again" hat.

    Double downs on it.

    Now this.

  • Abiotic Factor review - Abiotic Factor is an instant survival classic, and one of the best games I've played in years.

    Jump

  • That's great to hear! I've been itching for a survival crafting game and every one of them seems geared towards co-op.

  • Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming

    Jump

  • Me and Ubisoft.

    I got the games for free but I'm still bitter.

  • Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming

    Jump

  • I bought GamePass just for Outer Worlds because everyone pointing out that's it's from the team that made "New Vegas".

    I played it for a few hours and dropped it.

    It wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. And absolutely not preorder good.

  • I feel like I read articles like this every few years. And outside of the folding proteins "game", I rarely see them get mainstream appeal and contribution.

    In more positive news, I do see a lot of open-source projects, run by volunteers, get public contributions, which tells me people do want to help.

  • Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers

    Jump

  • Why not both?

    I've been pretty impressed with the Oblivion Remastered of putting a brand new skin on old tech. I want to play FF8

    And honestly, I like FF7 remake. It was a love letter to PS1 fans.

  • Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development

    Jump

  • The same issue with all the Stardew Valley killers, even if they try not to.

    It's a super toxic category constantly being compared.

  • Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”

    Jump

  • This might come off as being a old gamer, but I feel like they've been saying this about AAA games since 2000s.

    Sure, 90% of them will play it super safe. But there's always 1 AAA game that breaks the mold and suddenly, the AAA games will follow that. Or imitate whatever indie game is doing with a higher budget.

  • How is nobody talking about the fact that The Simpsons Arcade Game got home ports to DOS and Commodore 64 but not NES, SNES or Genesis -- and didn't arrive on console until Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. My disappointment is owning a NES and buying a game based on me playing it at the arcade.
