tier-2 is hella accurate. there are some enjoyable moments here. i loved customizing and riding the motorcycle but actually playing days gone became frustratingly tedious especially when you run outta gas in the open world which is what happened to me several times and led to some annoying deaths Read more

yeah you’re not missing much tbh. days gone is like an enhanced and expanded version of eutechnyx’s ride to hell: retribution if you remember that game at all Read more

very this. i could see why some folks enjoy the game, especially if you look past many of its frustration design decisions, but it was mediocre at best imo and that should be more than fine. no need for conspiracy theories about why it didn’t do better. accept that it’s mid, move on, and try to do better next time Read more

i’ve seen some hilarious compilation of the game bugging out. like i wrote in the gotham knights entry i didn’t experience any issues during my time with the game but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a mess for other people playing it Read more

ngl i do miss snacktaku and wish we could either bring it back (in honor of fahey’s legacy) or do something similar Read more

ah ok still wild that game freak is pushing out pokemon games this fast. i’m especially curious what the energy is within these teams  Read more

what’s truly insane to me is that game freak dropped legends: arceus earlier this year and not even a year later the studio came out with scarlet and violet. that tight development would undoubtedly lead to some issues with the game Read more

i’m saying ! i probably would’ve given up after like four days lol Read more

right??? people are clowning him talking about “he could’ve spent his time doing something else like masturbating or learning a language” and it’s so flippant. just because videogames aren’t someone else’s way of finding comfort or challenge or satisfaction or whatever doesn’t mean it isn’t for you or me or dino. this… Read more

it’d be the entire stack ! dino told me the order of his god run was sekiro > elden ring > dark souls 2 > demon’s souls > dark souls 1 > bloodborne > dark souls 3. so let’s say he got to bloodborne unscathed but took a hit from like vicar amelia or something. he’d have to START THE ENTIRE RUN OVER FROM THE BEGINNING.… Read more
