Odium

Whether Microsoft acquired ABK or not, this disgusting waste of oxygen needs to go. I don’t even care that he’d get a massive severance as long as he’s removed from the industry.

@LiamCroft has the platforming gotten any better? I thought that was easily the weakest aspect of the original, especially sliding areas.

I’m playing it on Series X now and it runs great for me. It was a bit janky at fort but once I realized it was favoring graphics over performance and I switched that, it’s run really well.

Celeste on Steam Deck and Hogwarts Legacy on Series X

Disgruntled employee wants to go back to making video games?

YES! I loved Zool, though I’m convinced I’m the only person who did. I’ve never met another gamer who’s played it.

I beat Titanfall 2 on Steam Deck and hopped (stupid pun) into, Elemental Masters, Days Gone, and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile.

@Toypop I’m familiar with the name of Rick Dangerous but I’ve never played it. I couldn’t agree more though, games of this style takes time and patience. Flashback and Out of This World weren’t about skill, they were about learning and piecing things together without any handholding.

@Toypop I remember renting Flashback when I was a kid and I couldn’t get past the first area. I hated it and was so mad I wasted a rental on it. I went back to it a couple of years later because I got it in a box of used games from a garage sale, it quickly became one of my favorite games. These style games (and Battletoads) remain to be some of the toughest games I’ve ever played.

@VanguardKaiser it’s on Steam, seems like it’ll be a perfect fit for Steam Deck if it works there.

Reminds me of Flasback, I’m sold.

I’ve been eyeing this game for so long, I’m pretty stoked that it’s on here.

@Uncharted2007 you perfectly summed it up

@MFTWrecks Chris Tran would absolutely want to play as someone in a Spirit of Halloween onesie costume. With that said, absolutely no one else would.

Such a phenomenal comic, I’m all for this!

If I win, can I use it to clean out Bobby’s office?

@SoulChimera I kind of want to play this just for that!

Hogwarts Legacy and Psychonauts for me

@Happymoogle down vote you, that’s about all I can do. 🤣

@GrandKaijuMaster20 I just did the same. This game was never on my radar but it looks fun and I figured it’s a dollar (or free in this case), why not? I’m not at all Into sports but it looks cheeky and fun, at the very least my son will enjoy it.

This show continues to be consistently fantastic

@HotGoomba you win the day for using one of my favorite tv moments ever

So glad to hear it’s not open world

This was easily my favorite episode so far. The acting was incredible and I loved getting Bill and Frank’s backstory. I’m really enjoying the changes they’re making from the game, they are adding so much to the story.

@johncalmc this comment wins the day

Most of these are great, but “Stillness” is easily my favorite of this group.

This is my most anticipated movie! The first one was easily my favorite superhero movie, I’ll gladly take more of it. This trailer hyped me up so much.

For me it was easily this order,
Elden Ring
Shredder’s Revenge
God of War Ragnarok
Plague Tale Requiem
Prodeus

I’ve been waiting so long for a trailer for this, easily the highlight of the show for me.

This sounds fun, I’m in.

@Baccaman I return it for a refund when it first dropped and decided to pick it up on Xbox for half off recently, it seemed to run much smoother than when I played it on PS5 at drop. It’s a ton of fun and worth the low price.

Currently, Elden Ring is my GotY, but if any game has a chance of taking that position it’s GoW. Though I doubt that’ll be the case since Elden Ring was one of my favorite games of the past decade if not one of my favorite games of all time.

@LIMA I have to disagree with you about the majority of people not into Souls games have never heard of this. I know plenty of people and read plenty of comments from people who aren’t into the genre that not only heard of it, but also loved it. On top of that, podcasters I listen to we’re saying people who don’t even play video games have been asking questions about Elden Ring. That doesn’t necessarily make it game of the year, but it certainly says something about the game and it’s impact.

I can’t wait to show this to my son. He’s so excited for this game.

I’m glad he did, this game is a masterpiece.

This is my most anticipated game of the year, I haven’t even watched a single trailer about it because I want nothing spoiled for me. Needless to say, I’ll be doing all I can to avoid this.

She’s one of my favorite musicians, I had no idea she was attached to this! Here I was thinking I couldn’t possibly get more excited for this game.

@itsfoz as someone who thought this game looked ridiculous, awful and did nothing but bash it for its first year, I can say it’s truly a wonderful, unique experience. The only reason I decided to try it was because Chris Ray Gun was in the exact same boat as me, but he played it and adored it, so I grabbed it on sale and I have never been so happy to be wrong about a game. It’s well worth your time.

@KidBoruto a sad fact for sure about Game Stop.

One of the best stories in gaming. I thought the combat would be something I’d hate, but I loved it. I don’t think there’s a thing about the game I’d have changed.

Rampage was always such a blast to play, I can’t wait for this!

@KidBoruto it’s sad how quick they are to remind us of that

@Titntin you said it perfectly. I have no interest in supporting Activision/Blizzard or giving them any more of my money, but this isn’t how you take a stand. The people that were looking forward to this and the devs (that aren’t engrossed in the culture) who spent long hard hours are the ones being hurt, not the higher ups who are the ones who should be punished.

This looks great! I can’t wait to pop in some 3D audio headphones, turn out the lights and revisit the nightmare that is the Ishimura.

@MB81 I loved Wildlands, my friends and I had such a great time playing it.

@theheadofabroom you’re not alone, I’m really looking forward to this one. This is also the character showcase I’ve been most excited about!

I’m at the end of Gears 5, so I’m just chipping away at that.

That’s a steep price, I’d have to go into a GameStop.

@NeThZOR I’m with you on that. I think the exploration is what would
Really make or break this one for me. I could see something similar to Mage Knight, though I sadly don’t believe Steamforged has the chops for it.

@gbanas92 it really is, which is such a shame, because it’s a great setting that hasn’t been overdone.
