I'd like to think I've matured with age but then on weekends I watch cartoons and eat too much sugar cereal in my pajamas so if anything I've stayed the same.

If there's anything that brings this community together it is dunking on people who bring their own shit onto themselves. It's like schadenfreude!

Look, I got lost on the way to getting some jajangmyeon and it'd be foolish to leave now.

Conker's Bad Fur Day is a cult classic in my book. Bit dated but funny all the same.


Any game that opens with a reference to A Clockwork Orange is okay in my book
It could be because I bought Saints Row 3 Remastered but I really hope they make a Saints Row 5 one day. I hope Agents of Mayhem didn't kill them.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is a really good podcast game both because of its structure as a big explorable BOTW-esque open world and because if I'm listening to a podcast I don't have to hear the fucking terrible dialog. Seriously the narration is like someone saw Seth McFarlane Rick and Morty and went "What if we did that but even worse"
Personally I like the RPG style of the current Creed but I know that makes me something of an outlier in the fandom but I like what I like. For me the biggest failings of the new games is Layla Hassan is undercooked but at least so far Valhalla seems to finally be having that aspect of the story matter whereas Odyssey had the coolest fucking reveal and did fuckall with it.

That said if they wanted to go back to smaller areas with more defined characters and assassination 'puzzles' like the older games I wouldn't complain.

Man, I didn't even want to leave Norway because the game was just so unimpressive to me from the get. I have to force myself to play that game and I couldn't peel myself away from Odyssey. Biggest disappointment of 2020... video games-wise... for me.


I don't hate it so far but someone on the dev team really fucked up the stealth and that seems like something you shouldn't fuck up in Assassin's Creed. Like fuck I didn't know people in the old days could detect me from across the goddamn map.

I've only 100%'d a few """modern""" games in recent memory. The Tomb Raider reboot (still trying to for it with their sequels), nearly Ghost of Tsushima (missing flags and fireflies iirc), and a few others. I tried to do a completionist run with Dragon Age: Inquisition and I still ended up missing stuff in my codex.


I have a crippling problem with open world games where I have to, like, do everything I can in an area nd the main story be damned. Like it took me about 9 hours to get out of Norway in Valhalla because I had to get everything. I don't even go for 100 percent completion in most things but something about seeing shit on a map has me like 'Well I gotta do that, it's probably important' and it never is.
What are some games you actively have enjoyed but after you've beaten it once you have no desire to return to it despite liking it a great deal?


Breath of the Wild

Granted I did every shrine like a crazy person so that's probably why

And that defeats the entire purpose of a MMO which is to force you to socialize and than make said socialization fun.


This is like saying the entire purpose of Call of Duty is shit talking minors just because it's an element of the game. You're never forced to socialize in an MMO. You're incentivized to join a guild be it for XP buffs or whatever is on offer but you're not forced to do so. You could queue for random dungeons and never say a goddamn word to the others you're running content with. MMOs have come a long way since the days when everything was obtuse and grindy to disguise the lack of shit to do at max level. Back then maybe yeah you'd have a point where the social interaction was a bit more vital, but these days? Not at all.
You can have a movie that's billed as horror but isn't scary at all. And yet such a movie can make huge amounts of money. Does this mean that it's a good "horror" movie? NO. It makes it a good movie overall that did good as a movie but it still fails at its genre.


I didn't find Midsommar particular scary but it's still a really fucking good horror movie.
