Seriously, how you folks just look the other way while the AAA publishers treat devs like work horses (ridden hard, put up wet, taken out back & shot once they're burned out) but you'll punish an indie studio for not giving you a $20 Steam key? Just awful.

It's amazing how salty game journalists can get over having to pay just $20 for a game just like all the rest of us. It's very "let them eat cake" mentality. Not a good look at all.

Apparently not. If you took the temperature of social media last November, there seemed to be no way Trump would win. Yet here we are. There’s a lot of hot air on here.

This is next on my list after finishing Suikoden II. I hope it runs well on Steam Deck!

In America, poverty leads to crime, and crime leads to incarceration. Private prisons are HUGE profit centers for the oligarchs, unfortunately. Poverty is profitable

The 5200 was my first game console ever. I’m not familiar with River Raid, but that thing had a kickin’ version of Pac-Man!

Mutie spiders as in mutant. I guess they don’t come up again, but when he first meets the boy Jake, he goes into the cellar of that building for supplies & finds large mutant spiders with eyes on stalks & up to 16 legs 😬

If you’re not familiar with Burr’s act, why are you commenting in this thread like you’re an authority??

Everyone forgetting how to laugh at themselves is a major part of how we ended up with “president” Trump. You need to wake up.

Insisting that everyone and everything be political kind of contributed to the rise of Trump, IMO. It helped the crazies find each other and organize.

The problem with Trump isn’t that he doesn’t know what he’s doing; it’s that he thinks that he does. 😬

I have the DVD set, but eventually want to upgrade to BluRay or 4K BluRay!

You might just need a break from Suikoden. The first 2 games are extremely similar; probably even more so in this remake package, since there’s not the jump in quality from the devs getting to know the PS1. I definitely recommend coming back to it in a year or so!

Definitely deserves a sequel and/or a high-quality remake!

My point about pandering is that, at best, people see through it. At worst, it alienates segments of the pop.

A good white guy example was Mayor DeBlasio. He ran on a campaign that catered to BIPOC, but he ended up being a terrible mayor that didn’t help anybody.

It comes off as performative.
