If nothing else, this video shows what persistence and a little ingenuity can do. I think if I’d have done the game like that twice only to come up short because of un-predictable game calculations, I’d have thrown in the towel.

So many great things though....Mad Bob is great! The feels when you can finally kill one of the insect things....then not long from then, when you can absolutely MURDER them! Screwing over the clerics....yeah thats right, screw you pious d-bags! OUTLAWZ RULE!

Being of the german-speaking kind Piranya Bytes games are sort of our guilty pleasure over here.

So glad to read this. I hate/love this game so much it’s insane. Read more

Well, I’ve put a ton of hours into the game myself, and I’m loving it. Though I have yet to experience any crashes or lag. So I’m not sure what’s up with that. Maybe you need to check your system? Mine’s about a year old now, and it runs it just fine. Read more

Playing on PC. 1080p/120 maxed out. Looks pretty good, nothing super amazing. Their game worlds are usually overwhelming, which is part of the charm. Clunky and enjoyable. Jetpack works well sometimes until the enemy has a ranged weapon. I use the creatures of the world to help fight for me as well, I just have them Read more

Yeah I really think this game is great. It’s a hot mess of a trashfire, but it’s a really nice fire. :D Read more

Thinking back on Gothic and Gothic 2 (which I couldn’t beat because there was a door before the FINAL BOSS that I couldn’t open), that all sounds about right.

I think that adequately describes every Piranha Bytes game I’ve ever played, and Gothic 2 is still in my top 10.

It has really good lighting and many of the locations/major cities look good but when you get close, super low res textures abound for almost everything in the game. Even if you bump the resolution up beyond 100%. Read more

Honestly, the idea that she lets herself get kidnapped and this is all a big game to her makes more sense with each passing title. Even if you ignore all the side games/RPGs that depict her as a competent fighter in her own right, it’s becoming pretty clear that she’s a little complicit in all this. Read more

The best part of Super Mario Odessey is when Peach just kind of get up and leaves Mario and Bowser for her own adventure. I want more of that! Read more

To me it’s just more of a trade off. While Zelda actually has character growth and starts to feel like a real person in BotW (i wouldn’t go as far as relatable), Link is as always deprived of any personality. While he is clearly the hero, he is just that: the courageous swordsman with the blade that seals the darkness. Read more

I started playing Battlefield with 3. I loved that one (The Aftermath maps are among my favorite DLC maps ever) and once Battlefield 4 was fixed I loved that one. Read more

What the hell is that Vader pose second to the bottom picture? I’m hoping that’s some awkward mid-animation shot, and not him doing the equivalent of the old belt hoist seen performed by police everywhere. Read more

I played a lot of SAMP when I was at Highschool, and it always amazed me the customization possibilities of this old game. The thing that keeps SAMP and MTA alive it’s the low requirements that needs to run (I played them on a netbook). Also I learned what is drifting, and how to “drift” there. Read more

Wow, this has thing PUBG doesnt: a night mode, more environmental manipulation, a better jump, hand climbing, maybe moving while being suspended from a wall, and even a radio in car.

Considering that upon learning this of Guzzlord our instinct as players is *still* to capture one and bring it back to our world. Read more
