I also don't like baby poopypants with his stupid D: face but at least there is nothing else looking quite like it, so I'm willing to give it points for originality at least. The game is good though.

Terraria surprisingly also got a new content update even though Journey's End was supposed to be the final one ever and that also looks p. rad.

I enjoyed the hell out of Journey's End all the way to crafting Zenith, never really completed a run before. The only thing I didn't care about were the crystal defense minigame and the fishing quests but these are optional and don't even do much in terms of bonus gear etc.

My unpopular opinion is that more games need an alien satan dad being milked by a robot while petting what appears to be a very good boy. I don't even care what it actually is, that's some interesting drat cover art. I would read that book (or that Star Trek OC fan fiction probably)

What a perplexing piece of digital art.

Binding of Isaac isn't a bad game, but it's loving hideous to look at to the point that I can't even enjoy it that much. It looks like a browser game from 2004 or a Smorky animation or something. just hate the art so much.

It started as a flash browser game from 2000 and whatever, so pretty close.

This is true. Voice acting inflates costs and greatly limits dialogue. I don't think it's worth it most of the time.

But on the other hand Operation Flashpoint so it could go either way.

It should be a game design principle that the player should never go more than a minute without being able to control the game. I can't think of a single instance where I thought "wow putting my controller down to watch this dumb bullshit is totally worth interrupting my gameplay."

It's always funny when a triple a game thinks it can bank on morons going OOOhhhh pretty look at those sweet cutscenes while having the same boring to okay gameplay as 1000 other games, made by the same company. Wait no that's right they can because people are loving morons. Thanks morons way to poo poo up video games for the non morons. I like when something is successful (Rogue Legacy, Vampire Survivor etc.) you see a billion clones as fast as possible. Since Vampire Survivor is pretty simple those clones are already here. So yeah even indies often times have about 0 creativity. While I don't mind building on a concept, I do think maybe wait a year or two before doing it.

A game with the same gameplay as a bunch of other games, but better graphics and/or sound, is objectively a better game.

This is why call of duty is just the best at whatever it is call of duty is now.

I don't need to play a mediocre game again even if it's prettier. I imagine Call of Duty does the whole battle pass garbage now so yeah it's probably not the best one.

fishing is one of the best/most efficient ways to get materials up to t6 in hardmode. there are plenty of early game drops in crates too, like sprint shoes and double jump accessories, and even water-walking boots :ssh:

you can probably get more done with 30 minutes of fishing than you could in 3-4 hours of digging!

Dead Space 2, at least, controls very poorly on PC (m&k). Especially if you're prone to motion sickness.

3 still looks really good. It just sucks after the first 4 hours. And it's like 20 hours long.

Dead Space is 100% a game to play with a controller imo. 2 feels great to play with a controller on PC at least.

Maybe. At the risk of derailing the thread with another controller vs. mouse inane discussion, I just don't like to play shooters (1st or 3rd person) with a controller.

can you still do the thing where you fish up a shitload of crates in easymode and then as soon as you beat the boss to enter hardmode you open them all up and they suddenly magically have all the hardmode-exclusive ores in them so you skip past all the tiers of mineable crap

If Dead Space 3 gets worse after four hours, it must come over to your house and kick your dog because the first two hours that I played before I quit were dire.
