  • What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

    Jump

  • This is why I sometimes enjoy Ubisoft trash. Especially Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. Just the same old shit on a massive map, an okay story, fun gameplay. Easy. Simple. Nice for mindless bullshit.

    For an RPG, try Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning.

  • They should not have it near the max fill line right after a change. Certainly not all the oil has settled and more will. Especially if they put oil in the filter before adding it like they should. If it's near max, then I guarantee more than max is actually inside there. There's a reason there's a range that's acceptable.

  • You know which voice to use. We all know which voice to use.

  • Even worse they say "the wife." I've met a few of those. Could not believe they actually talk that way.

    Up there with people who use "female" far too much. Especially "females."

  • [Steam] Beyond Two Souls ($1.99 / 90% off)

    Jump

  • I rememeber this controversy. I also played the game.

    There is a scene in the game where Jodie goes to shower, and it creatively never shows anything. It's a normal scene that isn't controversial at all. To be clear, Jodies character is NEVER intentionally shown nude in this game.

    Some people with certain Playstation 3's were able to use it to scrape game files in a way where they could see the character model in full, which was "nude."

    I don't believe the studio made literally every nude thing on the body in detail, I think it was your typical base nude body, enough to have a game asset or character model.

    I specifically recall the studio pointing out that this was a generic nude body made for the game character the way they would for any made-up game asset, and in no way were they looking at and recreating or using Page's body for it. Of course Page was harassed by assholes and was upset I think.

    I can understand the studio not simply wanting a floating head as they're trying to make the movements and scene seem realistic. I can also understand Page being upset at the entire situation and possibly feeling betrayed.

    On a different note. This was never my kind of game. I feel like this studio should simply make movies.

    I don't know why but the story seemed interesting so I rented and played it fully one weekend back closer to its release. That's why I remember all this. Despite the fact the gameplay style absolutely is NOT for me, this was an incredibly well made game with an excellent story.

    It was a highly memorable time I stepped outside my usual comfort zone.

    I also believe Page was one of the first major actors to do a video game this seriously to this level early on. Props to them for such a great acting job on something typically seen as risky back then. Also Willem Dafoe had a supporting role in this too and he was also excellent.

    Definitely recommend a play on sale since it's a great story and unique point in gaming history with respect to game design and style.

  • What emulated games hold up in 2025?

  • What about the pressure sensitive buttons from PS2? Those MGS games really needed that feature.

  • We can also call out shitty design and unnecessary pressure/misinformation.

    This is like saying yiu can just ignore cashiers asking you for tips or donations. How about they fuck right off and STOP.

  • The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam

    Jump

  • as long as you own the game, emulation is legal.

    People say this, but I believe it is mostly technically untrue. It'd be a relatively easy argument to say that a downloaded ROM that isn't exactly the digital copy YOU purchased with a license would be seen as not legal.

    However some people talk about literally ripping the game off the physical device themselves, hence copying their own copy of it. Now you are in grey territory of making copies of copyrighted materials, and in the case of more modern games like the last decade, they almost assuredly have language that specifies you don't actually own the code and all that.

    All I'm saying is be careful and probably refrain from repeating the fallacy that owning a game makes emulation of it legal, because that implies having the ROM is legal and that's doubtful.

    Worrying about shit I literally cannot control is goddamn exhausting.

  • I rarely see any Ys game referenced. It's gotten a bit bigger, but still a super underrated series.

    The Saboteur by Pandemic as well.
