JJ Abrams?

The Star Wars JJ Abrams?

It’s an older game, but Downwell is fun. Just a little action/arcade game where you fall down a well and try to get combos by not touching the ground by bouncing off of enemies.

I feel like this is pretty reductive, really, to blanket all AAA games as one thing that are all bad. Just like all indie games aren’t great. In fact, the vast majority are kinda trash, really.

For every Call of Duty, you can find amazing games like Death Stranding 2 that have insane budgets but swing for the fences (and succeed in my opinion). And on the flip side for every Silksong you have three million, anime-girl-on-the-cover trash indie games.

There’s no “one is better than the other” when comparing the totality of AAA vs indie.

Rockstar probably: “Well we just can’t afford to do a 60fps patch with these sales numbers…”

(I know it’s because they are greedy shits and just want to do a HD version or something on PS6.)

I’m not a big MH head or anything, so MH Wilds was my first game in the series. And I enjoyed it a lot!

HOWEVER, playing online with my brothers took so much trial and error we only did it a few times until we beat the story. Then it kinda wasn’t worth the hassle.

It’s so obtuse I can’t imagine how it even got that obtuse.

Yeah AW1 honestly isn’t that fun. I played about half of it and then just read the story and watched some videos about.

AW2, however, is excellent. Very very good. And I spent enough time with it to get the platinum trophy.

Just make it a law that every game has to use the Decima engine because Death Stranding 2 runs at 60fps, loads in basically 1 second, and is a contender for best looking game of the generation.

Honestly, it’s looking like Monster Hunter Stories 3 will by my next “game where you collect monsters in some fashion” game.

Is this dude the biggest snake oil salesman in gaming?

I guess Fable was alright, but everything Peter promises seems to never manifest.

That’s why I don’t really use Steam to buy games anymore, too.

At least maybe use GoG if possible to get a DRM free version.

For me, when the Switch 1 came out it was just nice to have everything on the device and you never had to do the most heinous thing of taking a moment to put a cart into the device.

But more and more I buy one to two games a time and focus on those, so that issue is largely not a thing any more.

Honestly, I’ve kinda gone back to buying physical media.

I bought DK Bananza on cart, and guess what? After I finished it, I gave it to my brother. Imagine that! Sharing a game you own? Madness.

I’m eager to pick up Ghost of Yotei from the store this afternoon, as well.

Yeah, hurry and buy up, Gabe needs a new yacht!

I have a friend who was laid off from there today. Definitely feel bad for them.

Having only played BG3 and bouncing off of it relatively quick, I’d say the other one.

Sure it isn’t wink wink

Elden Ring, the game where people choose to play the PS4 version on the PS5 because the PS5 version isn’t optimized well, doesn’t run that great on the Switch 2?

Crazy.

I do! I enjoy camera modes in games a lot, too. I like to look at the architecture in games because I think it’s fascinating.

For BF, though, I do think a little playground would be great. Since they have that map builder tool, I may end up just having to make one myself.

Especially for adjusting piloting controls. If you try to do that while playing a normal match you may not ever even get to fly a chopper to see if you made a good change, for example. I played the beta all day on Saturday and didn’t get a chance to fly anything during that time.

I always liked going into older BF servers that weren’t so populated just to be able to get a lay of the land without being destroyed in three seconds.

Or to be able to use the vehicles and get used to them without as much threat.

Maybe I just want a mode that lets you free-roam maps…

Square: “Alright, we are developing a new game that looks pretty neat. Who is available to come up with the worst names possible for the title, characters, and locations?”
