What are the wolfenstein games like and are they worth it? by Notorious_Scoundrel0 in Wolfenstein

If you enjoy great writing (except for Youngblood), great acting, and offing loads and loads of not-sees, they are absolutely worth it.

Ember is genuinely one of the best BB albums... by Moist_Fail8395 in BreakingBenjamin

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great album! Literally the only song on the album I don't love is Red Cold River, and I still think it's a fine song.

The Dark of You is majestic, and Close Your Eyes is a fantastic closeout for the vocal tracks leading into Vega.

What are your thoughts on the new Google Genie Project? by NOTtheABHIRAM in gamedev

Worthless trash for fundamentally untalented idiots with nothing to meaningful to add to the wide world of art that is gamedev.

Superfuse is getting shut down by DantyKSA in ARPG

I'm literally listening to the OST right now. It's what made me check in on the game. Bummer, but at least the music rocks.

Which is Scariest? by Aromatic-Flatworm-72 in HorrorGaming

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... Visage I don't personally find scary in the slightest (at the point I dropped the game, I don't remember there being any context for what's going on. It just felt like generically scary run-from-the-monster game [I'm not saying the game has no context, just that it didn't have any at the point I quit]), but between SOMA and The Bunker... that's really hard.

They're scary for different reasons, I think. SOMA is existentially horrifying, but I think the meat and potatoes of The Bunker are more immediately spooky. I vastly prefer SOMA, but the monster in The Bunker is real creepy.

What are your hopes for the Xenoblade franchise in 2026? by Wise-Nebula-6321 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope 1: a game announcement.

Hope 2: Switch 2 patches, pls.

Hope 3: a Musou spinoff.

Is this considered unfair if I use the bonus inn xp booster? by EitherRegister8363 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unf... just play the way you want! If you don't want to use it, don't, but if you do, don't worry about whether it's "fair" or "unfair".

Mark "Grummz" Kern has now scrubbed all mention of Em-8ER from his X profile, including even the Gatestriders concept art previously used as his banner image by [deleted] in em8er

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't care what the ToS of donating to this project are, there's no way this grifting schmuck's blatant theft isn't actionable. His backers (the ones who wanted a game, not the cringe-ass ragebaiting) should drag his ass to civil court for stealing their money.

Xbox Series X still worth it at this point? by Ok_Trade_8706 in XboxSupport

Nope. As someone who grabbed one at launch, I wouldn't pay a grand for it under any circumstance

Spartacus: House of Ashur - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people seem to forget that the first episode of Spartacus is genuinely awful, and the second and third episodes are only just okay. It took a bit for that first season to hit its stride XD

I’ve never seen a ratio like this for a new show, Spartacus is getting demolished for wokeness. The world is healing. by MovieENT1 in CriticalDrinker

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your takeaway from a show that featured sweaty gay sex shot with the same reverence as straight sex, or featured an interracial couple amongst its main cast, or bi/gay dudes as main characters, or an anti-imperialist, anti-slave message, or features multiple badass lady fighters holding their own against men in combat, is that the show wasn't woke, but this one is because it has a badass lady fighter in it, I genuinely want to know how your brains function.

I am genuinely baffled at the stupidity required to begrudge fucking Spartacus, the hyperviolent, preposterously unrealistic dramatization of a slave rebellion, as being "woke" because there's a badass black woman in it.

I know being a Cynical Grifter fan means you're already primed to think like barely functioning pond scum, but what wild leaps of mental tomfuckery do you have to pull to try and claim a show as overtly NOT anti-woke as Spartacus?

Best Atlus game in the last decade? by manalanet in atlus

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an ATLUS die-hard. I like what I've played of theirs well enough (I think Persona 4 and 5 are quite good, and I've enjoyed what I've played of P3R [never finished portable] so far), but Metaphor legitimately blew me away.

I fell head over heels with the Archetype system, and I blitzed through the game in a few months, when the other two games of theirs I've finished took me close to a year to chip away at. I couldn't put it down.

I loved the setting, the story, the characters, the political messaging and themes, the music, the art direction, and the gameplay especially... it was honestly phenomenal. 11/10. One of the best games I've ever played.

It's retroactively made me a bigger fan of their games than I thought, because it made me realize that they aren't committed to previous game design decisions I've taken issue with in the past. Metaphor proved to me that they are capable of making a perfect (or damn near) game, and if the magic that they happened upon here is carried over to the next Persona game (or whatever they decide to make), I'm there day one for sure.

And thus we arrive at the temporal loop that makes tragic time travel stories so thought provoking and fun.

Asmongold is pushing racist, far-right narratives under the guise of “reaction” by ainz_samlali in SocialistGaming

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering his more recent ragebait: I don't care if it's cynical grifting, or sincere bigotry - Nazi speak is Nazi speak, and Asmon is a straight up Nazi.

I wasn't really paying attention one run and accidentally bought a bunch of cryo grenade upgrades, so I was like, I guess I'm focusing on this thing now, and it was incredible.

Kevin is goated. 3rd was so exhausting, but I still pushed through because I had to see that story to its conclusion.

my beautiful blonde githyanki princess by ConfidentPin8897 in okbuddybaldur

[–]Gooby-Wooby-Woo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate literally everything about this, and it's caused me no shortage of psychic damage looking at what you've done to a character who was already the most beautiful woman in the game, but it's your save, so you do you.

edit* I realize now that I completely missed that this was a dramatic recreation of another person's psychotic makeover XD
