Prince of Persia the Lost Crown is a gem!! Personally enjoyed it more than Hollowknight (2017). Still need to play Silksong though. Shame they’re not making a sequel to tLC

Yeah you’re probably right, just where I pulled it from.

As much as I don’t like Richard Dawkins, he has some interesting ideas. I think ‘cultural Christians’ as a concept is pretty useful. Definitely applies to a lot of people in the U.K. at least

Have we ever considered that Toy Story 3 might be the greatest game ever made

Holy shit I can’t stand this strawman people create when their feelings are hurt because their country are accused of bad things historically. “Well it wasn’t good before us either!!!!”

We’ve got to appreciate that there is a whole other side to gaming that ‘core gamers’ (icky term) are just not going to be interested in. Heck there are like 5 other sides. We might dabble, but TGA is not just for us. Doesn’t mean we can’t say they look pants, mind.

Probably my favourite new game of the show.

Why is AA seemingly such a repugnant term?

I think, for me, this is best represented in the RPG category. KCD2 is a far more robust and interesting RPG by most metrics whilst Clair Obscur is deemed a better game that also happens to be an RPG. The narrative of success carries it very far.

I too have a razer more out of laziness than anything. It’s pretty good but all the rubber padding has peeled now lol

Maelle’s ending is so damn terrifying every time. Verso’s is hopeful, at the least

Risk of Rain 2 is one of the best roguelikes, but I think Hades is marginally better as a ‘game’ package overall because of its narrative. I’ve played about 100 hours of both, though 🤷‍♂️ and by golly is ROR2 one of the best OSTs ever to do it.

There are also plenty of people who appreciate a fresh and honest interpretation :)

I mean if you’ve watched season 2, it can’t possibly be any worse, right? Right…?
