Well, they still support the Switch really good with tons of games still coming out - first, second and third party. Also a lot of the “cool” indie games getting a switch port makes it the perfect machine for people like me who love that kind of stuff but are not into pc’s. Dredge and Dave the Diver come to mind. Love, love! both of them!

Man, I know Elex is not as well known and received as Gothic but it still is my favorite open world game ever. There is just something about the mixture of science fiction, high fantasy and post apocalypse Mad Max style that made me fall in love with the game. In the beginning the big monsters in this world are fucking strong and beat my ass every time. I loved it and it is incredibly rewarding to get stronger and then fuck those bastards up - just to get mauled by the next even stronger monster/robot. One of the very few open world games where I actually explored every nook and cranny! You will be missed Piranha Bytes!

There is a local service/app in my city called Yuze. It has only a small selection of restaurants. The service the app has is pretty basic: you order food and it gets brought to you by a handful of (employed!) riders. No in-app tip BS, no hidden service charges - it’s great! Haven’t used Lieferando (takeaway.com’s name in Germany) in forever. Downsides: the food selection is limited and the restaurants tend to be on the more pricier side.

I played (still in the middle of KCD) both games on the Switch. Both do work good for what they are: ports who definitely punch above their weight!

I played KCD on the PS4 when it came out and I can tell that there are some compromises, like less details in the distance and choppy animations when a person is walking far away from me and framerate dips in crowded places.

Aside from some stuff like I mentioned above, the port is great and I was really surprised how well everything looks. If you want to play the absolute best looking version of the game you already have it for your pc anyway but if you ever want to have the most flexible version this is definitely a great port of a great game!

I totally agree with you on the fact that people act like Capcom murdered their grandma or something. There is no need to make stuff up when the facts are bad enough on their own. I guess one reason people are so upset is the fact that microtransactions can be an actual and dangerous addiction to some people and are usually only found in multi-player games or straight up casino type stuff. Dragons Dogma is a beloved game and cult hit for a reason and this whole thing absolutely taints it’s “reputation”.

Anyway, I think it’s great you seem to still enjoy the game and that’s what matters at the end of the day. Cheers!

Not defending the mx in Dragons Dogma 2 but at least in the first one I think the way fast travel works was kinda good. It’s cumbersome and not very flexible but it fits the kind of game it is and you have to actually think about where you want to go instead of zipping around the map. Imo

The first one is a bit of a hidden gem imo. I thoroughly enjoyed the investigation part and walking around the city! They managed to capture a sense of ‘there is a story around every corner’. Combat does the job but not much more. Also: the way you have to make a choice which lead you want to follow on the map is a great way how they de-cluttered it. I hope the second game is just as good and better than the first one!

I played Call of Duty 3 on my Wii, so that’s one more platform. It’s also the only CoD I spent a considerable amount of time with.

Ich kanns nicht so stehen lassen, obwohl ich vieleicht auf rage bait reinfalle aber

• Man kann Kassel diverses nachsagen, ne Nazi Hochburg ist es definitiv nicht. Eher das Gegenteil. Kassel ist traditionell sozialdemokratisch mit starken grünen Anteilen und vielen Studenten in den Bereichen Kunst, Sozialpädagogik und Lehramt. Klar gibt’s hier auch rechte Idioten aber die halten sich in der Öffentlichkeit sehr zurück. Glatzen sieht man im öffentlichen Raum sehr selten bis gar nicht. Ich bewege mich aus beruflichen Gründen in den meisten Ecken der Stadt und wüsste daher ziemlich genau, wo ich nicht mit meinem FCK AFD shirt rum laufen sollte. So eine Ecke gibt es aber nicht.

Na komm, wenn hier unbedingt jeder Nichtsnutz genug zu essen, ein Dach über dem Kopf und Klamotten haben will, wo soll dann die Kohle für Steuersenkungen, Lufthansa bailouts und Subventionen für Großindustrielle her kommen?! /s

It’s like falling asleep while two friends are talking on the other end of the room.

I personally don’t care a lot about Kojima’s games but I still think it’s absolutely great he gets to make whatever he makes because he is a unique voice in gaming! In a sea of games as a service, mindless franchise milking and countless copycats someone like him is needed to make outlandish stuff, whether I like the games or not. Tons of people do and that’s great!

It’s a joke! This website tries to be funny/satire.

Just in case no one bothered to check: This website is satire. The list is not there, because that’s the joke. Not a good one but, oh well.

If you don’t believe me: From the About section:

Hard Drive is a very real video games news site that you should not question. Just absorb the information as truth and move on. JK it’s satire don’t ban us.

Aw man… I know that Elex has problems and stuff but it is and always will be one of my all-time favorite open world games. It’s probably the insane mix of science fiction stuff mixed with Mad Max style stuff mixed with fantasy stuff. It’s definitely a game done by people who really cared! And if they have to shut down, the gaming landscape will lose a unique voice!

Na, no rose colored glasses needed! The first Golden Sun is one of my favorite top down “classic” jrpg. I replayed it a couple of years ago on my old Ds (the one where you can play your Game Boy Advance games) and it aged really great!

Knowledge Fight! Pretty much the only I regularly listen to. It’s two friends listening to Alex Jones. The premise is that one of them knows nothing about the insane stuff Alex Jones spouts and the other one has researched it and kinda shows it to Jordan (the one who knows nothing about Alex). They are hundreds of episodes and the show is still as funny and informative as day one.

Just as a heads up: No Man’s Sky has the creative mode where the whole survival stuff and the mindless basic material collecting is pretty much turned off. My daughter and I went on relaxing treasure hunts just the other day, jumping between solar systems and walking around on dangerous surfaces without grinding stuff first. It is a do-what-you-want game at this point.

Yeah! I played it something like two years ago and it aged wonderful! I mean, I wish them all the success in the world but this game doesn’t actually need a remake

Man, I so wanted to love this game! Instead I just liked it. The graphics, the world, music, even the story are so well made and interesting to look at and explore. I loved the mining town at the beginning or the town with the ghost house! The only thing holding this game back is the somewhat stale level design between the interesting places you explore. They feel like flat 2d Zelda dungeons with a handful of frustrating design decisions to make them harder and take longer to finish. Still, I will probably get the DLC to show support for the devs and the interesting world they created!

Edit: Jesus fucking christ! I watched the trailer after commenting and didn’t see they made a Harvest Moon/Stardewvalley style DLC! Day one purchase!
