Comment on What games have you been playing, and what's your opinion on them? in ~games
PraiseTheSoup (edited )Link ParentI hated this. I don't want guns in my medieval fantasy games. As far as I know there have never been guns in FE before, so why start now. I bought a Switch 2 before they announced Fortune's Weave...literally in the prologue a character has a laser gun
I hated this. I don't want guns in my medieval fantasy games. As far as I know there have never been guns in FE before, so why start now.
I bought a Switch 2 before they announced Fortune's Weave specifically in anticipation of a new FE title, but so far I've only played a few hours and they haven't been that fun. I'm hoping it clicks soon because this was a very expensive game.
I can't tell you the last time I paid full retail for a video game...probably back in 2020 for Cyberpunk 2077 and we all know how that turned out.Edit: not true I bought Elden Ring and FE: Engage day one

Comment on Is Aniimo’s AI usage as obvious to anyone else? in ~games
PraiseTheSoup LinkI played the game for about a half hour and it just gave me such an ick feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I uninstalled it. I can't stand how every f2p game plays the same now anyway.I played the game for about a half hour and it just gave me such an ick feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I uninstalled it.

Comment on Minecraft developer Mojang has announced that the Sift is coming to Java and Bedrock Edition in 2027 – the game's first new dimension in over fourteen years in ~games
PraiseTheSoup Link ParentMinecraft exists on a plethora of platforms, the majority of which do not support mods. PC players, especially those running Java edition are, in fact, the minority. This isn't about personal...Just mod that in?

a personal UI enhancement
This isn't about personal tastes, this is standard functionality for any modern game that includes crafting. The fact that the crafting game, backed by the bottomless pockets of Microsoft, hasn't provided any meaningful updates to inventory management in 14 years is frankly inexcusable.

It's absolutely ridiculous how many animal skins and other completely useless updates we've got without basic QoL stuff.

The first would just be a new game like Lucasarts' Gladius, which if you're not familiar is basically just a turn-based strategy RPG in the setting of the Roman gladiator games but at each city you can recruit new members with various classes and abilities, which allows for a surprising amount of replayability if you want to try different strategies and synergies. The original game is really too easy to bother with a lot of the strategy, unless you adore it like I do. I think I've played it all the way through at least a dozen times over the years.
The second would just be Dark Souls 4. Elden Ring was just okay and Bloodborne is too easy, give me more Dark Souls. Please Miyazaki.

I did put skill points into guns, and by mid game my sniper one-shot most everything and it just became a slog. I also remember there being a bunch of unique "science" weapons that were completely useless, and that's about all.
The fact that the game came out 7 years and god knows how many patches ago and you have all the DLC means we probably had very different experiences.

PraiseTheSoup Link ParentI'm not so sure. That's what I thought after Halo 5, and then we got Infinite. At any rate, if it can get worse, Activision would be my best bet to make it happen.I'm not so sure. That's what I thought after Halo 5, and then we got Infinite.

I have a Quest 3S. Where I live, in the winter, the humidity gets very low and my skin gets very dry. The VR pressed against my face is unbearably itchy. I assume the halo-type strap would alleviate this if not completely solve it. That said, my solution was a simple reduction in the use of my VR headset, and by that I mean I put it away and barely ever take it out anymore.
I still think Beat Saber is amazing, it's just not worth it most of the time.

I get what you mean but it's really funny to me considering all the best armors in this game showed the most skin. My elementalist's outfit was impossibly slutty, and monks wore loin cloths and somehow got armor from tattoos.
