  • Is this common in the rpg space?

    Jump

  • If it helps, most people in a game store, and most dnd players, are socially awkward as well.

    I used to be very socially awkward as a kid until I went to my local game store to play yugioh. I haven't played in ages but I'm still happy i did! I'm still socially awkward, but a lot less than before, and I met some people I'm still friends with years later.

  • Resident Evil (Gameboy Color) final build now recovered!

    Jump

  • I played the old available build and, although the game is clunky and the soundtrack gets old fast, it's still an incredible accomplishment and something the team should have been given the chance to be proud of.

  • ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • The dubious canyons missions are some of the best missions of the franchise, so I'm definitely not complaining about those :D

  • 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion

    Jump

  • I despise the Hollywood-ification of the videogame industry, but the show was decent enough, with good pacing and not too many reveals so that everything had its spotlight. The awards went as expected.

  • Resident Evil Requiem - 3rd Trailer

    Jump

  • Leon (+Ada) and Chris are the only legacy characters they give a shit about, so yes.

  • ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • From what I'm seeing, it's the same as AC7, so Unreal Engine.

  • ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • Wo-ooh, finally! I was going crazy replaying the same few missions from previous games and Project Wingman. I needed a new game so badly.

    The story seems good so far! First time Sotoa's on screen, as well. I'm a bit tired of playing as Usea again, but oh well, it is what it is.

    Also the first time we have a second seat character on screen. They are usually brushed off as non-existent (despite being visible in the cockpit). It was one of the best features from Project Wingman and I'm happy it's being carried over onto AC.

    My main hope is a more fleshed out campaign with longer and more in-depth missions. After almost ten years, I really don't want another short game with 20-ish small levels centered on some gimmick that get boring on replays. Gimme big, dynamic battlefields in the vein of Ace Combat 6 and Project Wingman, and difficulty options targeted at veterans of the series!

  • Preparation, preparation, preparation

    Jump

  • IIRC this dungeon was created specifically for dungeon delving, and the mad mage who created it is, as the name implies, batshit crazy, so this one makes sense.

    Total War: MEDIEVAL III - Announce Trailer

  • Horses is back on the Humble Store: 'After a full review they determined that while the content is heavy, nothing in the game warrants removal'

    Jump

  • Happy to oblige.To be frank, and I'm sorry if this may sound a bit blunt, you might get more thoughtful replies if your question focused less on dismissing the game up front. The front-loaded tone of your original question is what drew so many downvotes and pushed people away who may have been willing to answer your questions thoughtfully. I also completely missed your point and talked about censorship instead of the game itself because of that.It's alright if you don't like the game or its content, and honestly, I don't think the game's for me either; but I wouldn't be so quick as to judge it as edgelord shovelware before even trying to assess what kind of game it is, especially as the article, which you quoted, made it quite clear that the game had social commentary going on and wasn't just porn slop.

  • Horses is back on the Humble Store: 'After a full review they determined that while the content is heavy, nothing in the game warrants removal'

    Jump

  • I think it's a very interesting experience, although it may not be apt for people who play for the gameplay exclusively. It's eerie and unsettling in a way that's difficult to replicate in more traditional/mainstream media, which I think is a good thing in a horror game. If you're tired of random ghosts, zombies or similar and want a more unique experience, Horses provides that.

    Whether you'll like it, heavily depends on whether you are willing to forgive its shortcomings in the gameplay department in favour of the unique story and social commentary it aims to provide. I've played multiple games in the past where I liked the story and didn't care much for the gameplay, but I also have friends who are unwilling to play a bad game with a good story, so, you know, YMMV.

    If you're asking whether "that mess of a description" exists solely for you to masturbate on or to provide shock value, then I disagree. While the game does feature heavy themes and abhorrent imagery, they exist to convey the narrative. The following is from a Reddit comment (user: yougotiton) that sums it up very nicely:

    [...] the puritan can never be free of sexuality, but is vindictive towards the reality of sexuality. It's easier for them to express their own sexuality through abuse and violence than it is to confront it or interrogate it.

    It's also a horror game, so, you know, abhorrent things are to be expected (and are appreciated when done right).

  • Horses is back on the Humble Store: 'After a full review they determined that while the content is heavy, nothing in the game warrants removal'

    Jump

  • Whether a piece of art is a monumental accomplishment or a fleeting novelty should have no bearing on the content it is allowed to display. Making that distinction is indulging in censorship.

    Unless you're saying that Michelangelo gets a pass, but Horses doesn't? How do you know whether a piece of art is worth it? Where do you draw the line?Stephen King's IT has the famous scene where children have an orgy in the sewers. Is he allowed to write it? What's the difference between IT and Horses, apart from the (subjective) quality of the works themselves?

  • (1) The devs trying to make the best out of a bad situation and marketing their game in a difficult situation is, like, not their fault? If you have a product, you want to sell it. Especially if you are an indie dev who desperately needs as much marketing as possible, and ESPECIALLY if you get banned from the largest videogame storefront on the planet because of Valve's shitty review policies. Calling this "publicity stunt" is very narrow-minded.

    (2) Some random news article calling them "one of the best indie game developers" is, again, not their fault. First of all, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and secondly, the devs are not out there brainwashing people to like their game. If someone liked their game enough to consider them a GOTY contender, good for them. My 2018 GOTY was CrossCode despite other big titles releasing that same year (MH World, RDR2, Spiderman, Celeste, God of War just to name a few), is it the dev's fault?

    (3) You calling it "barely an art piece" means shit all. It's not up to you (or anyone) to decide what's art and what's not. This is blatant censorship, but I guess that's alright as long as it's not something you like?

    (4) The problem is not that they would've sold fewer copies had they be available on Steam; the problem is that they weren't allowed a chance to prove themselves to begin with, because of the shitty review policies by Valve who adamantly refuses to review any game twice (despite them having more than enough money to do so) when they find something they deem "unacceptable", according to their nebulous metrics. Somehow Sex with Hitler is allowed to be sold on their platform, and so are many Japanese hentai games featuring questionably-legal child-like characters, but this one isn't? Why is that?

  • Creator of Hit Game Shovel Knight Is at a ‘Make or Break’ Moment

    Jump

  • Shovel Knight is one of the most successful indie games ever released. We're not talking of a "moderately" successful game that sold a few hundred thousand copies, like Hyper Lighr Drifter or CrossCode: SK sold over 2.5m copies back in 2019, and I'd wager at least as much since then. How do you go from there to almost bankruptcy?

  • Yakuza 0 is being delisted on all platforms on December 8 (being replaced by Y0:DC), Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2 also being delisted from Microsoft PC Store

    Jump

  • The gog version remains available.

    It's worth noting that Y0 was a beloved entry that frequently dipped below the $10 mark. The remaster adds a few minutes worth of (according to most people) unnecessary cutscenes, and charges full price for it. For many, the standard edition is not only cheaper, but also better.

  • GET EM

    Jump

  • I watched a lot of the "-movie" titles, and this is the only one that made me laugh. The others are an awful mix of crass humour and pop culture references that aged like milk, but Scary Movie 3 is fun today as it was twenty years ago.

  • Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil?

    Jump

  • Any game is a good point to jump into: the lore in RE is something you can look up if you're interested, but is not particularly deep or complex, nor is it ever mandatory to understand or to enjoy a title.

    I would recommend playing the games you are interested in the most, rather than the ones people deem important for the lore.
