One of the levels in the single player campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a reskin of the Hijacked multiplayer level from Black Ops 2...

Legit question, What are we doing here?

If people haven't played the Atelier series, Ryza is honestly the perfect place to start. They are great Slice of Life RPGs with very fun combat and exploration.

Did I like everything shown at the State of Play... Yes... Who was this 'For' though? Like seriously? Scheduling was inconvenient for Japan but not the west, all written in kanji...

Half the trailers in english... Like, who was the actual audience here?

Apparently the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition adds very little and costs $59.99. I get companies need to make money, and I will defend them on a lot of stupid shit...

Can we break the habit of selling games over a decade old that look and feel over a decade old like the re-release makes them new?

Well, this breaks my heart. Harakiri is one of the greatest samurai films ever made, my personal favorite, and its success was in no small part due to his masterful portrayal. Will be rewatching today through tears.

Tatsuya Nakadai, the legendary Japanese actor best known for Ran, Yojimbo, and Harakiri, has died aged 92.

Cannot fucking wait! Depressing that half the cast is dead now, though.

Ironic too. Re-releasing Kill Bill in 2025 makes it the third major piece of media this year, heavily taking from Lady Snowblood, which feels weird.

Oh shit!

Moonstone Island is such a good game. Like Kiki's Delivery Service, meets Stardew Valley, meets Pokémon. Definitely recommend if you haven't played it.

Wish I had the money to get this physical edition.
So excited to announce our physical editions with
@superraregames.bsky.social!!!
We put so much love into these goodies for you all 💖

There's a Fishbo shaker keychain
I REPEAT

Not going to lie, getting really fucking tired of needing to talk about tariffs.

There are about 42 articles on the site that either mention or are directly related too tariffs. It all started around when the Nintendo Switch 2 was announced too so its starting to feel cyclical.

So fucking stupid.
November 7, 2025 at 4:27 PM
I was debating if I wanted the DLC... But I genuinely don't know if I have the energy. I forgot how weird the grind loop makes me feel in this series.
November 6, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Well this is a bummer, but still cant wait to finally play!
November 5, 2025 at 9:06 PM
I have said it before, I love my PlayStation Portal and am happy to see its functionality expand.

I do think there are some issues here, such as the PlayStation Plus Premium requirement, but the constant updates have been an overall good thing.
November 5, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Might have mentioned. If not, started The Outer Worlds 2 when I got a review key... So have maybe like 2 hours in it.

Didnt realize this would become a process as the review is for a trilogy of 100 hour rpgs about a young girl who maybe has a shop of some kind.

More to come on both I hope.
November 5, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Loving Dispatch and definitely recommend it if you haven't played it yet!

I went down a rabbit hole with Vampire Survivor, ending with like 200 hours by the time I had the platinum. Also did the same with Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, though never platinumed that.

Have to think Warhammer Survivors will do the same to me.

Considering just how much Dragon Quest impacted the industry since its creation it is really hard to argue against this.

Huge congrats to Yuji Horii on a much deserved acknowledgement of his contribution to gaming as we know it.
November 4, 2025 at 4:20 PM
Platinumed Once Upon A Katamari. Definitely a lot of fun!
November 1, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Whaleson is by far best cousin in Once Upon A Katamari and I would totes do uspeakable things for that little slouchy face.

Beat Ninja Gaiden 4. Bean barely able to complete games this year and finished 2 to credits in the this month! Pretty happy about that!
October 29, 2025 at 4:19 AM
My opinion of this in no unsure words:

The fact that companies feel safe to say and do this is an indicator we are failing as a society.

Fuck Krafton, seriously...
October 28, 2025 at 7:56 PM
Working on a review for Ninja Gaiden 4. Gonna be fair, it is not going to be as positive as others.

I find the game to have a lot of really bad, baffling so, design choices...
October 28, 2025 at 5:33 PM
I watched a video today of somebody saying Halo fans were the most suffering fans in gaming.

Just laying this out there, try being a Vampire: The Masquerade fan for just one day...
October 27, 2025 at 8:24 PM
The level of I wanted to love Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 that I was at going in was very high.

I am still going to go for the platinum, which requires like 4 playthroughs, but this is has genuinely made me sad to write.
October 27, 2025 at 6:39 PM
Can we normalize... And bear with me here... Not having disruptive red flashing boarders on games when your health gets low. Let me turn this fucking shit off.

I have eyes to see the obtrusive red Ninja Gaiden 4, stands to reason I have eyes to see my health bar.
October 27, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Ninja Gaiden 4 has the two things that turn me on without fail.

When a subtitle is just the name of the person listed as speaker.

And whatever the fuck is going on with this guys hair.

I have issues...
