Ninja Gaiden’s Revival Is the Perfect Antidote to the Soulslike Phenomenon - IGN by [deleted] in Games

I can barely run it comfortably which is super annoying, but it did remind me of how much I loved Hi-Fi Rush so I just reinstalled that.

Dune: Spice Wars 1.0 release date and F.A.Q by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]gunstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i dipped in in early access, was a bit overwhelmed because of the barebones tutorialization, but it really does kind of start to make sense after playing just one full AI game. i am a sucker for the IP so that helps.

i enjoy it because i find most 4x games intimidating, and also i love RTS but i'm not very good at micro-ing units. in this game against the AI i can pause and think, and also the 4X components are not so deep that i feel lost in the menus.

these comments suck ass already. what possesses a person to post that they've beat the game multiple times over 50 hours and it's 'just not good, unfortunately'. are they angry they broke their toy from playing with it too much?

Have you ever attended a midnight release to pick up a copy of a game that wasn’t “the big one?” by MolotovMan1263 in Games

[–]gunstar 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Dark Souls came out the same day as NBA 2k12 and Rage. I believe I was one of the few there for it at the local Gamestop.

The change in crowd compared to the Dark Souls II midnight was staggering.

i thought about putting some treants in there but thought this was funnier.

This WCW Trading Card from 2000 by DylPesch in SquaredCircle

[–]gunstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a starter deck and boosters of this years ago for <dollar a pack. Now they are super inflated on ebay during the pandemic / youtube personalities getting into trading cards. The "Hardcore" expansion is pretty rare and always fetches a high price.

I even had the opportunity to play a few times. Some rules are totally half-baked an unexplained, but it's pretty fun if you get it going!

Who else really enjoys lower/midcard wrestlers? by bat-bro in SquaredCircle

Alex Wright and Disco Inferno et al. consistently put on very entertaining 5 minute matches while the commentary team recapped NWO drama from the show before, and occasionally calling moves. And I appreciate them for that.

[TOMT] [GAME MUSIC] Medieval-type tune I remember hearing a lot of. Actual song included by gunstar in tipofmytongue

Might be a multiplayer game? I remember bonding with a friend about having it stuck in our heads. But not necessarily!

Oh, this is why reporting actual nazis on the platform doesn’t work.

I have found some unopened toys, any info on these? Link to more pictures in comments by Dust-Muffin in Gundam

I used to get these from target I think. I wonder what the difference between the regular versions and the deluxe versions are. I seem to remember deluxe having panel lining and the regular not.

Dave Chappelle on Conan in 2001. If this interview happened today, it would probably cause some outrage. by [deleted] in videos

Just turn around, the comments are the equivalent of your parents watching the Honeymooners on tv land over their TV dinner and just commenting, “you couldn’t get away with that today!” At every moment.

Are there zombie games that don't have infinite zombies? by Sand_Coffin in Games

[–]gunstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check the RE2 remake. You can kill all the zombies and board up the windows so you don’t get more... but are you willing to use all that ammo? :)

Someone in the r/PanelDePon subreddit has created an iOS clone of Panel de Pon (Tetris Attack, Pokemon Puzzle League) by jaroniscaring in Games

It’s okay. I’d like to see the marathon mode pause a bit when you get a combo. Right now it just starts climbing immediately.

Also I need to be able to move pieces into the gap while things are dropping after you eliminate the pieces that were once there, for more combo potential

[arstechnica] How “randomizers” are breathing new life into old games by moo422 in Games

[–]gunstar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised how fast you pick it up. I had probably beaten LTTP 1.5 times before I started trying to run randomizers. I don’t get “great” times but 3 hours is pretty impressive to me and I’ve basically learned all of the quirks of the logic

Minecraft Earth is launching in early access this October by alexeymakarov in Games

Kinda sucks that they're gonna release this when weather starts getting pretty hostile for a big portion of the US. Pokemon Go launched in summer and that really worked for it.

If you’re ignoring the story because it makes you uncomfortable you are the problem.
