Bang on, just a pity so many game devs are still pretty lazy with the support (I get it, it’s still a pretty niche aspect)

Highly recommend Millie Holton’s other stuff like the animated Long Head shorts, especially if you’re into weird Adult Swim type stuff

I recommend Portal Revolution too. It felt closer to a genuine 3 story.

Portal Reloaded was great but also quite complex compared to the first two games and I think most people who liked 1 and 2 would find it frustratingly difficult at times.

It’s not.

I’m still pretty early on but the dialogue is awful, and the two main characters are authors whose best ideas for novels amount to trolls and cyber ninjas. Not exactly unique or inspiring books guys. (Maybe this is some sort of point or satire I haven’t hit yet but I doubt it)

At least, like It Takes Two, the gameplay is reasonably enjoyable, particularly if you’re playing with someone who doesn’t play games a lot. It’s flashy in that Uncharted sort of way that will make them go “whoa cool”.

Finished Metaphor: Refantazio right before the end of the year. Fantastic game which is shockingly relevant to so much going on at the moment around the world.

I always think of THPS3 as a PS1 game, didn’t even know it had online MP

They could (and probably should) just partner up with ProtonDB and just bring in badges like the Decky plugin does. That also has the added bonus of getting some recommended tweaks or settings from other users really easily.

I’ve never played the series but I am interested and planning on seeing if the new version is good / considered “definitive” by fans of the series. If it’s good I will likely play this rather than the original version.

Same strategy I’m taking for Dragon Quest 1/2/3

There’s a remaster coming out early next year! I’m planning on doing the same when that comes out

Neil Druckman making his staff work triple overtime to render out the new Verizon space phone in game

How many people do you need before you hit “small orgy”? Like 3 people is obviously a threesome, is 4 people a small orgy?

And how many before it is no longer a small orgy?

Final Profit: A Shop RPG was a really fun one I discovered through a Humble Bundle last year. It’s been getting a pretty steady stream of new content since it released which add to and improve the game

Wizfile as an alternative to this which I prefer

Also Wiztree from the same devs as a WinDirStat alternative

1000xRESIST absolutely robbed

Is it a Last.fm replacement?

Share the other 4 :)

If you enjoyed Firewatch you’d probably like

• Gone Home (somewhat the OG of this style of game)
• The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
• What Remains of Edith Finch

• Disco Elysium

• Citizen Sleeper

• 1000xRESIST

Japanese and somewhat fan servicey at times but also recommended:

• Nier: Automata

• 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

Tank controls have been pretty universally despised for many years now. Basically since we got analogue sticks, tank controls never really made sense.

Stuff like the Grim Fandango and RE1 remasters were offering alternate non-tank controls back in 2015 and there’s probably earlier examples too
