Yeah, the differences in platforms should be considered here - I played on what I hear is the inferior platform. You can have a prettier and slightly more functional game on PC. Read more

Sorta. I think this is worse on some levels, but can be worth it if you’re into ambitious RPGs with good world-building. Read more

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about what other games of theirs I should try - everyone says Gothic 2. I’ll get to it...eventually! Read more

One quick note - I call this game ugly, but you might have looked at the screenshots above and thought, hey, that doesn’t look bad. These are PC screenshots. I assume it looks better on that platform, depending on your rig. Read more

We literally talk about how we don’t care that Peach is kidnapped in this podcast and how a large part of this issue comes down to tradition. Altho, I think you’re being unfair in saying only opinion writers care about this when the question of whether or not Zelda can be a fighting hero is *literally the story of the Read more

I’d say the franchise usually tries to dress up those uncomfortable aspects - the idea that Pokemon actually really love you, etc. And in entries where they vaguely confront the idea that maybe it’s not OK, they still kinda walk back on it last minute. There’s not much dressing up around the idea that this Pokemon Read more

I’m playing Ultra Moon and have ONLY been here at night, multiple times. Just went back and through the building, talking to everyone and interacting with everything. Through the grass on the sides too. Haven’t found whatever you’re talking about. What do I need to do? Read more

You can’t do it in the middle of battle, but now you can open up the menu and press a button to jump right into saving. Read more

I think BoJack has had a more interesting arc as a show than R&M has. Don’t get me wrong - I do like R&M. But BoJack feels more thoughtful? Or at least, more relevant to an actual human being’s life. You might grapple with existential dread IRL but, say, the idea that you’ve inherited the mental health problems of Read more

I’m not guessing it’ll do anything beyond what the season finale said: that it’ll kinda be back to square one, but more streamlined (I’m paraphrasing, obviously.) I don’t feel like the show would need to do that if it was maintaining its momentum and had somewhere to go in its current path. Because remember - that’s Read more

Yes, it’ll be interesting to see where they take it from here, since they’ll be able to start over a bit, so to speak. Read more

I’m curious, how do you rationalize the idea the next season is going to be somewhat of a reboot? That it sets stuff up to be back where it began, more or less? I feel like that’s an admission of some sort, in regards to where it was at. Read more

I wish friendship were a real mechanic in this game. You can only kill, shame, or enslave your orc pals. Read more
