Cape Codder

People don't usually mean it in this way, but Dragon Quest VII Reimagined might actually be the first ever remake that truly looks "soulless". Like if I have to point my finger on someone who has no soul, the MC here is exactly the reference I have in my head.

Am I looking too much into it or does this Anthem mention feels tad passive aggressive? Even though Casey was the one pitching the game in a way executives wanted to hear, he wasn't director on it and only spend a pretty short time as an executive producer.

Why should I care about any announcement from The Game Awards this year when like four new games had any gameplay shown during the main show...

Have I spent an ungodly amount of time playing Old Republic games? Yes. Do I care about new game with zero gameplay to see? No.

Same with Divinity.

Can they take it off

Your brain asking "do I hear an encore" You saying "shut the fuck up holy hell" Brain "right about now it's time to rock with the bickity Buck Bumble"

We used to call any release like this a "Definitive Edition" and Berseria definitely deserves one (especially since it's not on Switch), but there's nothing remastered about this one

I'm also annoyed by this because the term "Remaster" is already ruined for many people and this makes things worse

Wandering Sword is one of my favourite games of the last few years, it has some problems with things like UI and Controls, but other than that a very nice experience.

Play activity list for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 with most days on the list having less than 15 minutes played.

Calling my playstyle "A little while" aka "I can only play during smoke breaks at work"

That said I still really want a proper Bloodlines successor and I understand why so many people are mad about this game not being that. As someone who pre-ordered it day one all the way back in 2019 it's definitely not what I expected back then.

Played a few hours of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and honestly tech stuff aside it's a pretty decent game, especially if you don't expect it to be anything like the first one. It won't scratch the same itch as VTMB, but I think I'll enjoy it overall

Play Sleeping Dogs

Damn, I enjoyed the concept of El Ciclo back in the day, plus its design was heavily inspired by one of my favourite architects so this feels like a personal blow...

I'm already very pessimistic about the global adoption of Unreal Engine, as I think it's being used as a way to devalue the long-term employees of companies that previously worked with proprietary engines by making them easily replaceable, but the performance analysis videos certainly aren't helping

The only thing I like about wplace so far is that it exposed me to a huge number of Splatoon nerds that apparently live in my area.

Obviously there's also a chance that they just picked a random Ukrainian city in the middle of nowhere to draw their OCs in, and that's somehow even weirder...

Dialogue from the game Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (1 out of 2) Atsuro: That's the girl from last night! She seemed weird then, but she's kinda cute, huh? Protagonist: Not THAT cute.

Dialogue from the game Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (2 out of 2) Yuzu: C'mon, you guys... what's all the whispering about? You two are such goons...

Finally got to play Devil Survivor, and I swear internet slang ruined so many older things for me...

If I had to guess they're targeting erotic games that use disclaimers how "it's all a roleplay and everyone in this story is 18+" while characters are obviously meant to be minors. And I don't even think it's a bad idea, but it's so poorly written I doubt it'll be used for anything good

ESRB rating...
Hoped you guys being UK based means my Switch collection is safe from looking awkward with spine text being all over the place 😓

I obviously haven't finished it yet and there's a chance of it falling apart down the line, but based on things I've read it shouldn't be the case.

Randomly picked up Caligula Effect 2 a few weeks ago and I'm so confused by how practically no one talks about this JRPG. Extremely unique combat, really progressive themes with a great cast of characters and amazing music. You would expect people to talk about it as much as they do with E33...

Still massively prefer Bluesky over Twitter, but god every time I open any big post on here the comments are always full of people with the worst case of "bean souping" and this just makes me not want to use it :/

That one screenshot of a post encouraging people to read books still haunts me...

Had to stop taking antidepressants without gradually decreasing the dose due to financial problems and now I feel like a baby that doesn't know how to walk, probably the worst case of vertigo and imbalance I ever experienced. I expected it to be bad, but not in this way lol

My 2025 in gaming so far, I started tons of games this year, but barely finished any, so it's kinda embarrassing (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠)

Doing my best to dodge Mount & Blade nowadays because I know it will consume me...

I remember back in the day it was THE game in my area, everyone would have their own bootleg disk with some modpack they would trade with other people so I feel like I spent 1000s of hours on it overall.

I genuinely feel like this might kill the game. Even Nintendo aren't going $80 for all of their games for now. The Outer Worlds 2 looks amazing from everything I've seen and I'm extremely excited about it, but I'm not sure if many people are willing to buy it at this price

Not sure what to think about Geoff Keighley hyping up 3 games made with Gazprom money during SGF yesterday. Just feels kinda yucky :/

Definitely waiting for some brighter colour option, hopefully light grey or white. Honestly getting really tired of all the black consoles...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at its concept feels a lot like a Monolith Soft game. Only a couple of hours in, but it really reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The whole Gommage thing even sounds like something straight from that world. Really excited to see more of this game.

Oblivion Remaster is pretty good so far, feels like a huge graphical modpack you would see for Skyrim, bad UI and all.

There are some weird graphical problems (mostly with reflections), but overall it's a really nice upgrade and I hope it makes more people check out one of my favourite games.
