Tropico 5 is a great game, people should try it out and not be limited by their self-imposed biases when it comes to games that aren’t presented in the 1st/3rd person pew pew shoot shit variety. Read more

I’m confused as to why this is being considered anything other than a huge bug. Poise is listed in the game numerous times, various weapon arts/spells grant poise bonuses, seems like it’s just not actually turned on. Would seem a bit silly to remove poise as an actual thing and then reference it 100+ times. Read more

Judging by their past bugs, I expect this will be patched in time for Dark Souls 5, unless a fan patch comes out in 2 hours that fixes this bug, doubles the frame rate and makes the controls more responsive. Read more

Every day during our lunch break, a coworker and I play Rocket League for 4-5 matches. We were both pretty excited for this game type and after our first round of playing the ‘Hoops’ game mode, we decided that it wasn’t fun and that soccer was the way to go. Read more

I remember playing and having one of those NeGcon and seeing adverts for the JogCon. The NeGcon was actually really good for racing games, I would say for steering its still better than even modern analogue sticks. Weird to get your head around the pad when you first used it. But we were used to mad controllers back Read more

Dude I’ve never even heard of this controller and it looks rad! I totally want one!

Also curious, if any of these people are using SweetFX or GeDoSaTo. Those were quite popular for Dark Souls 2. I use SweetFX myself to sharpen up the textures so everything doesn’t look like it’s made of clay. Read more

Funny enough... The reasoning in the description seems like a problem that I would have had a while back. For whatever reason shutdown and crashes kept happening. This caused extremely minor corruption of game files. So I’d have to go into Steam and say, “Verify integrity of cache” pretty regularly. And it would Read more

Didn’t we already figure this one out? Two difficulties. They could pull a Dungeon of the Endless and make two difficult modes called “Easy” and “Too Easy.”

It’s really not a hard decision for the developers. If they want to sell more copies and appeal to a wider audience, than they should make an easier difficulty option. Read more

Game looks fine. Like an old school halo. And it’s an interesting fleshing out of the universe. But no one whines like Metroid fans. Read more

Agreed wholeheartedly. Wish the big AAA publishers would take note!! (You know actually care about your audience instead of their wallets...) Read more

When you’re hard at making licensed tie-in games it’s easy to assume they’re just in it for an easy paycheck. Releasing something two years later when they didn’t have to shows some dedication that belies cashing in. Read more
