Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

lol, Looking Glass Studios stealth mechanic, from 1998, kicks the poo poo out of Insomniacs clumsy efforts. Hell, even Kojima's visibility cones or whatever they are called are better than whatever Spider-man's stealth is. Otherwise, it really is a great game.

e: Thief is actually twenty two years old. holy poo poo.

Stealth is sometimes good. It's bad when failing to be stealthy means facing a game over screen or when the stealth mechanics are nonsensical. It's good when failing to be stealthy causes all hell to break loose

for the current gen of consoles i have found that 9 times outta 10 when a game starts stuttering it means it's time to clean the case vents with some canned air, i can't really remember a modern game where i've noticed frame rates dropping to unacceptable levels during play unless there's something else going on (like if my connection goes fucky during Warzone or something). bloodborne gets a little janky at times i guess but seems like they fixed the engine for DS3.

Amazing how after so many decades "just blow on it" is somehow still the answer even long after we stopped using cartridges

-Elizabeth's plan was apparently to sacrifice herself so the plot of bioshock 1 can happen.

-Elizabeth creates an imaginary friend version of Booker who talks to her and guides her through everything

-Apparently the ending of Infinite didn't actually do anything and everything continues to exist as normal.

yeah but it's also a free mod and you don't give him any support if you just DL it and play it and don't recommend it to anyone
but you should not be playing brutal doom anyhow because it sucks poo poo and ruins do2m's balance super hard

Bioshock Infinites DLC plot is the drowning you at baptism for the entire franchise so its kind of impressive, really

In retrospect Bioshock Infinite has almost done the Game of Thrones or Rise of Skywalker thing where the ending sucks so bad after the initial hype it basically killed the franchise

I tried that new mechwarrior on gamepass and had such a miserable time I wondered if I was misremembering mechwarrior 2 being good at all. But then I loaded up the soundtrack on youtube and realized 11 year old me was right, as usual.

I miss when there were NCAA basketball games because I give way, way more of a poo poo about college basketball then the NBA, but NCAA games are a giant mess of ethical problems since the athletes don’t get paid for being included in them.

is that the like PSOne game series that madden killed? the magazine ads were cool iirc

I’ve gotta be honest I haven’t really played a football game past mattel electronic football II, I have a used copy of madden 25 sitting on my shelf I got when quarantine was becoming a real thing earlier this year but haven’t found myself with any desire to actually install/play it, because mattel electronic football II is plenty football for me

It's the 3d arcade game one where first downs were 30 yards because plays were ridiculous and there were no rules about tackling everything in sight.

Pretty similar to NBA jam in style really.

nfl blitz was so good that the nfl had to provide an exclusive license to EA to make boring clones of madden every year, to prevent developers from trying to one-up Midway and poisoning the brand with lovely experimental football art-house games that constantly try and fail to top nfl blitz

I still love that Super Mario Strikers reimagined the Mario cast as xtreme edgy Loonatics Unleashed costumes and attitude for... a football game.

...actually surprised Nintendo hasn't at least tried an American football game, they already have Chargin Chuck. From what I gather about American football is that it lends itself to interesting games with the format and roles, it's drat near a party RPG with individual roles and specialties.

The devs of Final Fantasy one mentioned American Football as an inspiration for the battle system and everyday that passes where I cannot play a JRPG where the final boss is the commissioner of football is a bad day.

the final boss of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was basically Captain Football and is a better final boss than any JRPG final boss so I think you're onto something here

Kinda loving wild how that franchise got adapted into English by completely different devs all unaware that they were part of the same series.

They should bring that back with a new game using the River City Girls designs.
