  • Why Games Now Take 6+ Years To Make

    Jump

  • I don't think graphics are the issue on their own. The problem starts when better graphics become the priority instead of making a better game. Some of the games I remember most weren't technically impressive, but they had great gameplay, a unique style, and felt like they were made with a clear purpose.

    A lot of AAA games seem to keep getting bigger, yet not necessarily more enjoyable. Huge maps, endless side activities, and dozens of hours of content don't add much if the core experience feels repetitive. I'd happily take a well-crafted 20-hour game over a bloated 100-hour one any day.

  • The $950 Steam Deck Apparently Isn't Too Expensive, As it Sold Out in Under 24 Hours

    Jump

  • Half these "sold out" stories don't tell you if it was 500 units or 50. Supply was already a mess before the price hike ... AI ate the RAM market and now everything downstream pays for it. The device is great, the timing is just bad.

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • Honestly? Escape from Tarkov.

    I understand what it's going for on paper. The tension, the risk, the realism. But every time I watch someone play it looks like 45 minutes of cautious walking followed by dying to someone they never saw in a direction they couldn't predict.

    Maybe I'm just not built for it.

  • Any good indie games on steam? Can be any genre.

    Jump

  • Dredge if you haven't touched it yet ... fishing but deeply unsettling in the best way. Short, cheap, stays with you.

    Tunic if you want something that genuinely respects your intelligence. Feels like Zelda until it doesn't.

    And if you're okay with losing sleep, Noita. Just go in blind.

  • Warhorse says that the new Middle-earth RPG 'will be a living world' with a 'strong narrative focus' and says new Kingdom Come game could arrive 'next fiscal year'

    Jump

  • Warhorse buying and restoring the actual castle from KCD is the most on-brand thing a studio has ever done. That's a team that genuinely gives a shit about what they're making. The Middle-earth RPG being described as a "living world" is doing a lot of heavy lifting though ... every studio says that. But if anyone can actually deliver it after KCD2, it's probably them. And yeah, Bethesda announcing Skyrim again in 3, 2, 1...
