“man it’s so foggy this christmas eve”

“…”

“how foggy”

I do think Expedition 33's narrative is bad.

The foreshadowing is overbearing.

In spite of having 3 women in your party, the game fails the Bechdel test. Interactions are non existent.

The big ending is basically: Is it ok to create an omelas child to cure your disability? Yes or No.

I honestly cannot really take it seriously when people complain about too much dialogue in a nintendo game because I feel like for a lot of folks "too much" is "any"

welcome back, old friend

I need to write an essay that's like Just Because A Game Doesn't Have Discrete Difficulty Modifiers Doesn't Mean It Disallows Augmenting The Difficulty, Or: How Grinding In RPGs Means You Are Subconsciously Playing On Easy Mode

Ok I’ve thought every Silksong boss has been pretty good to great so far, except Nyleth. Straight poop from a butt.

I think it's very interesting that whenever a game comes out with a reputation of being difficult, there's a very vocal and motivated group of people online that are mad that it's hard.

So like, tools are extremely powerful in silksong. I think Team Cherry might have messed up a little by letting you expand the amount you carry...

Rean Shwarzer when Rean Weisser walks in the room. 😱😱😱

I find that people that play and review a wide variety a games tend to elevate new/novel experiences even when the whole package is lacking.

My main example would be Jusant. I found it to be a like pretty good to okay game, but it got glowing reviews when it came out, and it left me wondering why.

So the rule was, if there's a dog, you should be able to pet it. And this got misunderstood as, you add a dog so it can get pet. No, the point is, your interactions should reflect the reality of the game space; it's bigger than dogs. Anyway, if you equip a hat in Death Stranding 2 you get a choice

the wheel of fate didnt turn

Things like 'one button specials' in fighting games and real time elements in turn based games are often seen as 'correct' design decisions when in reality they often introduce more problems than they "fix"

you're often losing just as much (if not more) than you gain by introducing these elements

i love trails in the sky because it answers the question of "What if kishimoto knew he was writing a romance when he wrote naruto and sasuke's relationship?"

my static is now consistently getting deep into p4 of fru which means the clear is in sight

Overwatch might be the only online game to exist that has a chat filtering system that still lets you type the n-word

Sorey x Mikleo is one of the most straightforward romantic parings supported by canon, but because they're the same gender people will go and say "nu-uh"

I'm really excited about Fumito Ueda's new game.

I'm also still very angry at sony for shuttering japan studio when it's clear the game makers there still had passion for games and were ready to make more

But then im happy about not having to buy a ps5 to play it
