In terms of lovely gaming websites I think there are definitely worse than Kotaku but on the other hand I see no reason to give a poo poo that they're blacklisted.

I do not like bashing on Kotaku much but you can not deny that all its best people have left.

Yeah I am already dreading not only AI sites drowning out actual human-generated information but the second wave when all the AI text is trained from a corpus of mostly AI text

every time i see these pop up i'm reminded of the Bless Online manic hype train of the starving mmo community and the immediate falling out cause the game was actually just that bad

thank god we have FFXIV now to keep us sane

I thought this was some kind of Chrono Trigger tie-in game for a hot minute

The bullet time stuff could be cool if they implement it Max Payne 3 style where it affects everyone in view of the user (and anyone in view of someone slowing down).

Gaming websites are doomed to be terrible, for the same reason most journalism is pretty rotten. Fundamentally having to rely on making money to produce content and exist poisons the well. They can't post articles like "this company is doing some dogshit you shouldn't put up with" while also trying to get advertising money from those companies and draw in viewers who want to hear what they already decided to feel.

Review sites could go away tonight and I don't think it'd affect consumers at all. You don't need an arbitrary number and article to figure out if you'd enjoy playing any given game or not. The only people even reading that poo poo are the thirstiest nerds who watch every trailer and just hoovering yo anything vaguely related to the game in their ramping anticipation.

We really don't actually need a business shorting writers under weird obligations playing pre-release versions of games under a deadline to tell us how good or bad a game is.

Even if you absolutely must play a game day 1 you can wait a few minutes after launch and start seeing exactly what the game would be like if you started playing it.

My new PC has BSOD'ed on me a few times now, but Windows 11 Event Viewer isn't giving any useful information that I can find that might explain why it is occurring. :/

I kinda wish getting health/stamina upgrades in Breath of the Wild had minor boosts to base attack/defense. The whole idea is that Link is getting his groove back after already doing the legendary chosen hero stuff 100+ years ago as opposed to nearly other Link being some kid/teen thrust into greatness with a crappy sword, so it would fit into the idea that you’re already for real and just forgot.

Also I really like the (back)story of this game, there’s not extensive preamble to get to the meat of the game and having the backstory that builds up to the Calamity be “what if Link was a super cool and rad champion, like the best to ever do it, and Zelda poured her heart and soul into being the classic Zelda and just couldn’t do it (until everything was already kinda hosed)” is kind of unconventional just for a game period, let alone Nintendo of all things. The only bummer is that I wanted a game where I could hang out more with my cool bros Urbosa and Daruk but I guess they literally made a game for that!

The most disheartening thing a pc gamer can experience is your rig loving up and you not knowing why. Last time for me it was the RAM sticks weren’t fully slotted in but it took a Friday night and a Saturday to find that out

My last PC build I didn’t plug the SSD all the way in to power and could not figure out why it wasn’t showing up as an install option. Good times.

One time I couldn't get my new PC build to work so I left it with my stepdad where it sat for months mostly bc I couldn't come pick it up. When I could he got to work but all he did was hook it up to his monitor and plug it in to test it and it worked fine, he installed windows lol.

Making fun Zelda levels is a million times harder than fun Mario levels. Half of what makes them good is designing items and stuff for a dungeon to be based around. Seems like limited mileage rearranging parts

The bosses in Oracle of Seasons were mostly cool for feeling like slugfests and not just glorified puzzles that hit back, but given those bosses were all from the first game I guess that’s not a great example.

Okay I think I figured out the issue with my PC, the motherboard has zero support for the 7800x3D out of the box. A BIOs update is necessary otherwise stability is rock bottom and your PC will crash if you so much as blink. Everything looks to be stable now.

there's a lot of cool older weapon models hanging around that you don't tend to run across, like the level 44 maelstrom axe that does this cool foldout animation whenever you unsheathe it

i had to deal with this with guilty gear strive, that game (and apparently most fighting games) don't let you use the mouse at all for anything. the only other one i've played that did let me use mouse buttons to attack was Multiversus.

I tried for quite a bit to discuss Pokemon with Pokemon fans in dedicated spaces for Pokemon. this is on me and it was an absolutely wretched idea. just constant hostility. this is where I ended up for the Scarlet and Violet games bc it is the most chill.

my second most chill experience with Pokemon communities was the Gen 7 PkHex scene on Tumblr.

I cannot play FPS with a controller properly.
I cannot play platformers with a kbm properly.

I also cannot use an xbox controller properly or the switch default joycons because of the placement of the buttons/sticks and the dpad on the switch.

Dualshock4, WiiU pro controller + 8bitdo adapter, and steam deck are my favourite controllers.

I played pretty much every SNES game via emulation with a keyboard back in the days before you could just plug in an Xbox controller. I got pretty good at doing hadokens and dragon punches with the arrow keys.
These days however, I even play most fps games with a controller. They're usually designed around that anyway.

Well, I felt I was ok at it. I have pretty high standards for myself and when I got Deathloop for the PC in a humble bumble I felt way more in control and blitzed through the game.

I am much, much better and feel more confident when I have the KBM - probably thanks to my tens of thousands of hours in TF2 and Quake 2. :)

Was it here where we were discussing cheat detection from people using pass through devices on consoles to remap game controllers via a kbm setup?
So they were effectively playing console FPS with a kbm, with the added benefit of a console games aim assist.

Cause yeah KBM+FPS is the only way to 'properly' play and have that full control

I have finished Riven, and I believe that it is good. If it had some method of highlighting everything that you could interact with it would be great. Outside of that frustration it's a very satisfying sequel that ties everything up pretty neatly.
