@AfroMario Fyi my five year old understood the subtext.
I'm all for slavish devotion to stupid things. My favorite band is GWAR and my favorite series is Doom. It's like admitting that life is pointless, so just have fun, imo.
But I'm going to call out the culture warriors, sorry not sorry.

@riceNpea it's not that deep. I think the issue is it's a mini review. They didn't touch on much here.

@riceNpea the good news is that reviews are subjective.

@TrickyDicky99 Hey man, that's on you, lol. It was a real good shot at flipping that around on me though.

@TrickyDicky99 Does that include the prequels or no? Because those are absolutely the worst of the worst. How about the Star Wars Holiday special? Invoking the spectre of the sanctity of Star Wars is hilarious to me.

I am sorry your story about all races coming together to fight space Hitler got all silly on you. I really hope the next toy or cartoon they make is more your speed. Backflips and pew pews and member berries and lightsabers. George Lucas is a big ol' lefty, btw. If you didn't catch any of the anti-war or anti-American imperialism themes, I mean...

Star Wars isn't really my bag. The fans are scary and endlessly entertaining, but the actual Star Wars IP is pretty boring. I might pick this up when it's $20 or so. It isn't doing any one thing that other games don't do better.

@MrMeeeseeeks Make sure to echo that to all the people screaming about Ubisoft buying scores with trips to Disney, etc.

@ILikeStake Star Wars has plenty of films already though...

@PsBoxSwitchOwner they definitely make an effort to say "we" in reviews, which is strange.

@DennisReynolds for real! I think Shaw in Prometheus might have some words though.

@Jrs1 That's Hong Kong but yeah. Amazing game.

@Zuljaras Yeah I mostly meant the CotM games. Lords of Exile is a recent classic Castlevania. Odallus is also a classic style Castlevania game. From Joymasher.

@Zuljaras curious, how do you feel about Odallus, Bloodstained, or Lords of Exile? I love them all, and think Odallus is basically perfect.

I would buy a Switch just for these Capcom collections. I'm a huge CVS1 fan.

@Jrs1 I'll check it out, thanks!

This is exactly my kind of stupid. More of this, please.

Normally I'd be happy that a game isn't a rogue like. I like a lot of them, but I also prefer handcrafted areas, enemy placement, and weapons.
That said WOW DO THOSE LEVELS LOOK LIKE SOME PROCEDURALLY GENERATED ASS PROCEDURALLY GENERATED LEVELS! Holy crap. Just mishmashes of non-descript tiles at flat right angles. And enemies teleporting in too. Woof.
Oh, also, check out The Ascent if you dig this kind of overhead shooting. It's more an ARPG, but it's absolutely incredible. Gorgeous world, feels great. It's like Dredd meets (dontsayBladerunneryouhack) Bladerunner...

It looks like the Ubisoft Ubergame but Star Wars now. That will go down fine when I'm in the mood for one, but who knows when that will be? I've been a bit put off by the reviews comparing the missions to RDR2. Seems to be a lot of "you are leaving the mission area, wee-ooh, wee-ooooh." After BotW and TotK, I find it hard to abide by that kind of design.

It has a release date?

@Yagami Didn't PW exclude sidling, crawling, and going prone? It was a long time ago.

@LowDefAl Nah you can blame the Vita memory cards for that.

@TheDudeElDuderino I'd buy a "PSP Classic" handheld in a heartbeat. But they won't do that.

I want one of these but I'm concerned about support. Like it will somehow just not function after some update. I still play my Vita a lot.
EDIT: Oh right. No Bluetooth! Nope!

No one liked that. LikelySatan will remember that...

@Jrs1 I want to try it. I liked Severed Steel's rogue like mode a lot.

I am playing Super Wooden GP 2. An absolutely spot on isometric racer, straight out of the 90s. Even the music is some 90s-ass techno. I'm really glad I put it on. Went through some depression and overall cynicism that made it difficult to enjoy anything besides Knee Deep in the Dead and Quake...everything Quake. I was really happy to find something that I am excited to play more of.
Also this segment still makes me think of Hey Ash, watcha Playin'? Games are better now, but gaming sure was better then.

@yohn777 yeah if there's something I want zero spoilers for, I don't pay attention to coverage. This made me want to play the game. Like I said though, I'll wait for the actual release.

Looks incredible. I'll get the real release in a year or so.

@Gamer83 Eh I play SP almost exclusively, and I wouldn't touch that thing, lol.

@LazyLombax Lazy man cites self. People have been saying that about 7s for ages, man.

Ah man it's pretty funny that people who flipped out over Stellar Blade censorship etc are just all over this thing. You guys know that the publisher told streamers they couldn't discuss "feminism," "politics," Covid, or quarantines? Isn't that really, really funny?
I'm sorry! I want everyone to have fun. It's just funny.

@Matroska uh...most journos definitely have more than one job.

@IamJT $100 says they put in "he/him" pronouns for that robot because he fights with what looks like a vacuum cleaner, lol. I don't care about that stuff, the "culture war" is tiring imo, but it's pretty funny watching these publishers trying to be so inoffensive.

@breakneck Alternately, "I spent $3000 on my PC, and Jedi Survivor is broken!!!" That always cracks me up.

@nessisonett People are defending the publisher censoring streamers from mentioning Covid, quarantine, feminism, and "politics." They'd sooner align with China then women, lololol.
Yeah no I'll be avoiding this one.

@KeenAerondight The co-publisher (Hero Games) sent a doc to streamers warning them to not discuss Covid, quarantine, feminism, and "politics." Seems on the up and up, lol. That's actual censorship, fyi.

There are more people playing Balatro right now than Concord. And more playing Dead Cells.
But remember, publishers need to spend hundreds of millions to develop a successful modern game! I bet the marketing budget for Concord was more than the entire cost of both of those games, combined.
Thing is that people didn't realize that Concord is also a battle royale. Like, an irl one. They started with about 100 players, and soon they will all be out of the game. Concord is actually incredibly ambitious, guys.

@Abby-Anderson
...yeah, that was my first thought too.
-no one

@Max_the_German You didn't say anything "political."

@EVIL-C Yuuuussssss!

Timesplitters? Of course I'm playing Timesplitters. What a silly question!

I need to see something besides this miserable desert.
The series has never clicked for me, but I wish it all the success in the world. I love to see Capcom thriving.

I just got Dying Light 2. I am hoping I enjoy it more than most. I love the first game.

@Member_the_game my five year old is playing Odyssey and it is so fun to see him experience that game. It's top tier Nintendo for sure. Just effortlessly creative.

OMG what?!? I was just looking for a rad fps last night! I don't care about trophies.

@trev666 I hear ya, but I do remember what actual "console wars" were like, and it's nowhere near as bad currently.

For the first time in a while, I want to hear what Jim Stephanie Sterling has to say about something.

@Flaming_Kaiser Just bots, afaik. It's been a very long time. I love Quake 3 though. Wish they had done an SP mode for it.

@IamJT yeah. I could definitely still play some Quake 3/Quake Live, but those people still playing are insane murderers

@nomither6 cringe and all that, lol.
I'm not saying that gives you no right to talk. I'm saying you should be the authority.
