  • They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

  • I think artificial scarcity in survival horror is kinda annoying. A flashlight burning through batteries as if it was a battery-powered oven is just an eyroller to me, the dude having the stamina of someone who‘s just woken up from a decade long koma doesn‘t help my enjoyment either. It just makes it annoying to me to play. I know it’s meant to make me feel weak and scared but I’d prefer if they could realize that in other ways.

    The story was alright though IMO. I enjoyed the town sections the most.

  • I‘m still playing GTA Online (legacy) with a couple friends. Sadly, we were unable to do 4 men heists so far, we tried looking for a random fourth but we got kicked due to „inactivity“ while searching for someone cause it took too long; seems kinda dead.

  • Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more

    Jump

  • The only alternatives I‘ve played were Nexomon and TemTem, and Nexomon‘s grind sucked the life outta me, especially when they pulled a „oh nonono, this new region has different levels you have to grind from 0!“

    TemTem was pretty fun in co-op though… even though I had to play with a VPN for the first time in my entire life cause somehow players wouldn‘t move on my screen with my „raw“ connection. No game has ever done this before nor has any game acted like this since lol, completely weird.

  • GTA Online, not sure if I‘d recommend it, but I‘m having fun with friends since I’ve never done the heists before and not having to play in toxic pub lobbies anymore is a boon

  • Oblivion leveling guides be like:

    Jump

  • Idk if someone from Bethesda said this or if it was just a Youtuber regarding the stupid ways to level up in Oblivion (like jumping around for hours), but: If that‘s how people enjoy playing the game, then let them. And I agree with this.

    Regarding abuse of game mechanics and not just bugs/glitches… I can only think of some Dark Souls bosses that can be baited into killing themselves by fall damage. For some it‘s clearly intentional (Iron Guard thing in Dark Souls 1), for some arguable (Dark Souls 2 the guy in the sunken area), and some clearly rather unintended (first real boss in Dark Souls 1 for example, it‘s really hard to do and when it happens the dude drops like a rocket lol)

  • Recommendations for the current sale

    Jump

  • Cheap all-time-low price tag games (according to SteamDB) that I‘ve played myself and can recommend:

    Slime Rancher

    Broforce

    My Friend Pedro

    Dust: An Elysian Tail

    Poly Bridge 2 (also the first one)

    Clustertruck

    Risk of Rain (the old one)

    The Swapper

    Rogue Legacy

    McPixel 3 (also the first one)

    Overcooked (also the second one)

    Party Hard

    Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince (and other series entries)

    Train Valley

    Minit

    All of these are of varying genres so probably most of them aren‘t everyone‘s cup of tea, but maybe one or two are gems that you hadn’t heard about yet. List isn‘t conclusive, obviously, but I don‘t wanna spam too much.

  • Interesting, thanks for sharing

  • I cannot fathom how this move is better for them than a larger audience with baked-in ads. This isn‘t some huge event with mainstream appeal. I‘d hope they ran the numbers, but nowadays I‘m not so sure.

  • New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed

    Jump

  • If that‘s their big plan… well, I hope the IPs find smarter homes after EA goes bankrupt

  • Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun

    Jump

  • I have…

    Just Shapes & Beats

    Nine Sols

    Smushi Come Home

    CATO: Buttered Cat

    Is This Seat Taken?

    GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink

    Ballionaire

    Pepper Grinder

    Like a Dragon: Ishin!

    …in my cart, but considering I‘m unlikely to get around to any of them this year, I‘ll let them sit in the cart throughout the sale and see whether I’ll pull the trigger on anything.

  • It's that kinda day.

    Jump

  • Fuck, so relatable, I needed to see that today

  • EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private

    Jump

  • Yeah, but that‘s usually stakeholder-driven. Of course, it could be all the same if and when they go private, but this move just seems unprecedented to me so it‘s interesting to observe if it does have any impact in this regard.

  • EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private

    Jump

  • I‘d certainly be interested to see if that‘d change any of their exploitative practices like FUT. Also hopefully that brings Codemasters back to old form… And please bring old online services back up cause money doesn‘t seem to be the issue then lol

  • Borderlands 4 Dev Gearbox Asks PC Gamers to Wait 15 Minutes for Shaders to Compile in the Background While Playing After Reports Indicate Recent Update Causes Stuttering - IGN

    Jump

  • If all the shaders are compiling in the background and it‘s stutter free (minus traversel stutters, I guess) after that, I actually find that reasonable. If I can get rid of stutters by idling in the game for 15m while doing something else, then sure.

    But I have a hunch that it‘s still not a smooth ride after.

    At least this is the most reasonable thing I‘ve heard from GB since release lol

  • What's your favourite menu music in a game?

    Jump

  • Well, the Octopath Traveler theme plays in its main menu and it‘s an absolute banger

    I‘m playing some AC Rogue and while I like the AC4 style gameplay… I had completely suppressed the memory of the shaking sprint camera, it bothers me sooo much

  • Peak

    I‘m still playing Peak, if the stupid tomb opens today, I could get the last achievement! The next update is already in the works though, lookinf forward to it.

    Children of Morta

    Aside from that, my friend‘s back in town so we‘re also trying to finish Children of Morta. We have freed the three dudes, so I think we‘re close to the end.
