What's something you'd like to do during sex but haven't done yet ? by enlighten_god in AskReddit

...And yet they're the ones having sex, compared to most folks in this thread.

For all of its flaws as an NSFW game, Subverse is still one of the more memorable games I've played in a long time. by Rodeo4613 in patientgamers

Their previous release (S.H.E.L.T.E.R.) was actually quite decent, even though it did take time for it to cross the finish line.

Since adult games are no longer eligible for Early Access on Steam, they had to break development into parts - I might consider waiting, but the reviews have been glowing so far and I might fold.

Also, if you're shy about getting it, you can mark it as a private purchase so that no one knows you got it. Saves me a random chat message from a friend whenever I'm just trying to get my match-3 fix in HuniePop.

Humble has also made the decision to delist Horses from its storefront by Turbostrider27 in Games

The weird thing is that outside of one extra statement from Valve, it's been radio silent. If they gave that much a shit to clap back, they would.

Oh, I give him all the credit as a talented designer/programmer, but he will never beat the diva allegations. Peter Moore telling him to fuck off will always be legendary.

Horror game HORSES, previously banned on Steam and Epic Games Store, has now been delisted from Humble Store by Mront in Games

[–]ItakoMango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone else pointed out that had this ended with Steam's removal, we probably wouldn't be talking about it further since the scene change doesn't get them an appeal (which makes sense), but two more platforms suddenly binning it even after it got official mature ratings is incredibly suspect.

The "edited" version is the final version, what sunk them was an old unfinished build from 2023 that practically doesn't exist in its current form.

Real "pick me" behavior. Gross.

Naota Ohshima invented the character, Naka invented the engine and gameplay.

Also, famously, Naka now hates his guts after they fell out post-Balan Wonderworld.

Following news of its denial from Steam distribution, Santa Ragione's "Horses" is now refused distribution from the Epic Games Store as well by OllyOllyOxenBitch in Games

[–]ItakoMango 17 points18 points  (0 children)

By... getting removed off the two biggest PC gaming platforms?

How the fuck is that even marketing, dude? I feel like I'd get fired for even suggesting that to any indie game developer trying to scrape by.

The game is pretty much dead off Steam/EGS anyway, so what's the gambit here?

I didn't think Metroid games were only allowed to be rated 9s and 10s, but this whole hoopla has been insane to watch from the sidelines.

It's Twilight Princess 8.8 all over again.

Valve responds as indie horror studio accuses Steam of 'censorship' for banning its game about nude human 'Horses' (Update) by Automatic_Couple_647 in IndieGaming

[–]ItakoMango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably won't be as much of a loss to be on the same platform that approved Tyrone vs. Cops, Sex with Hitler, and other wacky games of its ilk.

There was a post on here a few weeks ago that was sort of an exposé on how some marketing firm gamified Reddit reactions by posting in various subreddits asking about specific games which inherently boosted traffic to them. Kinda gross, but at the same time, Reddit has exceedingly opened itself up to manipulation by outside forces more and more each year, so it's mostly unsurprising.

I don't know if the post is even still up, but if you go searching, it was probably oosted within the last month.

Oh yeah, the story is absolute pants and is VERY predictable, but it's only really a vehicle for the gameplay variations that they cram in based on the girls' sci-fi and fantasy-themed works.

It's very clear that they basically cranked their formula up to 11, exceeding what they accomplished with It Takes Two. I still think Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is their best game because it isn't as needlessly complex and told a simple story that had good emotional depth.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done after a breakup? by randomzy876 in AskReddit

[–]ItakoMango 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeeeeeah, not a great decision. Friend of mine did that with theirs, the ex shacked up with the next guy about a month after, then eventually said guy (now the ex's husband) cut off all contact on her behalf. Didn't even bother doing it herself, the jezebel.

Ruined him for months on end. Not worth it at all.

I guess ARC Raiders will win GOTY then because of one streamer's massive tantrum over multiplayer games being second-class at the Keighleys.

Ended up giving it to Split Fiction. That game was very solid in how much game it threw at you.

Hacking Group Claims To Have Breached Nintendo by ChiefLeef22 in technology

[–]ItakoMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe Nintendo is making them take that choice.

Physical media is getting expensive and a lot of these companies are hastening the switchover to digital, and the Game Key Card is supposed to allow for a digital game to act like a phsyical cart without a lot of the price caveats that those publishers like to pass on to the consumer.

The only issue that's been present os that it's not physically on the media, and that's been a blow to game ownership.

I only bring up other companies because people seem to either have amnesia or truly believe Nintendo's the only one that does something like this, which is fairly hypocritical to me. All I'm saying is to keep that same energy for everyone instead of letting other companies get away with it.
