After playing Deadlock for the almost 40 hours over the last few days, I cannot fathom how disconnected from reality you have to be in order to think Marvel Rivals is anything but the most mediocre of slop. It's embarrassing how much better this game in alpha feels to play in every conceivable way.

seen in newark, new jersey 🔥

i was thinking today about how weve demonstrated that if we elect someone president their criminal status is irrelevant

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Reality check: Despite Ubisoft having been struggling in general (for a whole mess of reasons), the new Assassin's Creed game has been high in the Japanese charts on preorders alone. Turns out they love semi-historical samurai and ninja games there, and Yasuke has appeared in multiple games already

The news about LRG selling defective cartridges that will blow up your NES, followed by the discovery that Retro-Bit is just stealing fan translations for some of their games, y'all I'm beginning to think maybe this retro game collector enthusiast aftermarket is one big grift.

Cinephiles watch a 6/10 movie and will champion it for the rest of their lives. Gamers™ play an 8/10 video game and deem it garbage that only shills like. This is because Gamers™ are unsophisticated morons who don't understand or appreciate the very art form they chose to consume

just make an outline for the love of god

Babe wake up -

and you wouldn't need machinegames to like punch it up with weird over the top humor either. like getting into a chainsaw fight with felon tusk would just be textual

Oooh, demo out! I've been waiting on this one for a while. It's the sequel to Webbed, the one with the skateboarding spider!

Respectfully, I hope this man gets diagnosed with a terminal illness.

*sigh* I'm enjoying Deadlock... It's got a lot of the MOBA trappings that I hate, and it's not even half the shooter that Concord was, but it's a lot better than Marvel Rivals.

Giving strong Gori vibes (in a good way)

cowards and lames

In a game that's sufficiently well written, the illusion of choice serves the same function as actual choice on a first playthrough unless the player goes out of their way to test the outcomes of choices. Seeing as most players don't finish games, especially longer ones, this makes sense.

Yup..pretty much…….>>

Good news: The YouTube algorithm has stopped serving me 'Games are terrible because Call Of Duty is starting to lose its appeal after 20+ years and no other games exist' videos. Bad: Now I get 'Indie devs are magical unicorns who will fix everything' videos, which are almost equally unhelpful.

You'll finally be able to try HASTE: Broken Worlds next week! 🙌 We're releasing a demo on Monday the 24th of February as part of Steam Next Fest and we can't wait for you to try it! 🏃 The demo features one Shard-run from the game and a tutorial to teach you how to perfect your landings.

I like playing games made by fallible humans with unique perspectives that have something to say! Even if they're far from perfect! A wild concept!

These games with some wings, cheesesteaks, pizza, and some homies would definitely make living a little bit easier rn!

me being right about a video game being fun?

Beat Dragon Age Veilguard last night. Missing just one achievement. Gonna get it tonight. Great game. Fuck the haters.

Posting this again just cause it's doing decently and I'd like to maintain that momentum youtu.be/cWmUwGDMGs0?...

United Healthcare denied coverage for my shoulder surgery that was supposed to happen today, lmao. My doctor submitted an appeal to try to have my case escalated in priority as a mandatory procedure and I should receive the results by next Friday. As of right now, the surgery isn't happening.

Hey folks, if ya got a minute... I'd love to see Selaco's score on Steam heal up... Recent reviews are still "Mixed" from hatebombing after recent drama with the Anti-Woke Awards (they ran an ad for the game, dev stated Selaco never asked for one, they got mad). It's BS, we all know the game rocks.

Traversal 🙏 May the DNA of my beloved live in all their future titles 😭

All the citizens of Fior mas inverno are Italian you can hear it in their accents and some of the words are plays on Italian words can someone at obsidian talk to me about this

New video is up now! youtu.be/cWmUwGDMGs0

Wanna thank Obsidian's level designers for absolutely stuffing every nook and cranny of Avowed with little stories, interesting bits of world-building, or other fun details. Whenever I think: I wonder if there's anything up there, down there, or in there, there always is.

Played Elden Ring: Nightreign. While it's not terrible and has some cool ideas, I could not fathom paying for it. In simple terms, it's like if Monster Hunter sucked. It's one of the worst rogue-lites I've ever played, and to my utter shock, the bosses have few if any ai improvements for groups.
