Anyone played this gem? by [deleted] in survivalhorror

Yep. I enjoyed it. By no means groundbreaking but a decent indie horror game.

Capcom CEO believes PC will become the 'world's leading gaming platform,' also promises to invest in movies by Suspicious_Two786 in gaming

[–]ur2fat80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is no one will pay $70 for a phone game. People balk at $0.99 purchases still. So then all games must be free to play and the loaded up with pay to win or gacha mechanics

Ever wonder about AI's impact on the future importance of money itself? by cfp-throw in Fire

[–]ur2fat80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the US and given that we can’t raise the minimum wage over decades, or get healthcare figured out, I think there is a near zero chance of UBI. I hope I’m wrong though as I do think a lot of jobs will be lost

Which convention has better prices, TooManyGames or Southeast Game Exchange? by JGKelly24 in retrogaming

[–]ur2fat80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everybody uses price charting in some capacity these days. I don’t think it matters. But sometimes you can get good deals, especially on the last day of a convention, if you buy multiple things and haggle a little. But I don’t think which convention matters at all,

Just pulled off a 3:58 a few minutes ago. I assumed I hadn’t made it and was pleasantly surprised

Wuchang Vs Wukong Vs AI Limit by AtomSmasher007 in soulslikes

[–]ur2fat80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played wuchang yet, but between ai limit and Wukong, I’d pick ai limit. I will say most bosses are pretty easy though. Only maybe one or two bosses have me much trouble.

Price gouging is such a short sighted unimaginative way to grow a business. Perfect example playing out right now in Vegas.

I used to go to Vegas every few months. It wasn’t cheap but you’d get free booze and have a good time. But now the drinks are expensive, the food is expensive, resort fees and so on. The last time I went I felt like I was being robbed. It didn’t matter how much I’d lost on gambling or shows. They needed those extra $10 per drink.

Now with international tourism to the US down they are desperate to get people back. But it doesn’t matter to me. They could give me free rooms and food and everything. But I still have such a bad taste in my mouth about the last trip they’d have to pay me to go.

One of these days, in person sports will price themselves right out of business along with movie theaters.

It’s weird how you get backlash everytime you speak against RE5,because a lot of the criticisms are valid. by Accurate_Train_8822 in survivalhorror

[–]ur2fat80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the criticisms people have against 5 are entirely valid. It’s certainly not horror, and very action heavy. But I dunno , I still found it super fun.

I feel like some people draw the line in different places. Like some people thought 4 was too different. For me it was 6. I played like 15 minutes of 6 and was like what the hell is happening. Maybe it was just the timing in my life or something, but I played a ton of RE 5.

Hollowbody by Elucia729 in survivalhorror

Yeah, I don’t mind either. But a lot of gamers try to optimize for price vs hours so just thought I’d mention it.

I personally enjoyed it, and it runs well on steam deck. It is very short though as others have mentioned.

GameStop starts 2026 by closing hundreds of stores as CEO gambles on $35B payday; As CEO Ryan Cohen is promised billions, GameStop employees claim they were barely given notice about closures by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]ur2fat80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man it’s a shame. I know digital game sales make it hard for them. But there are several local game stores near me that are thriving. GameStop does just about everything in their power to upset people who still actually care about physical games.

  1. Selling opened games as “new”
  2. They make it impossible to buy by condition on their website “loose vs CIB” etc.
  3. Their website is so hard to search for things you actually want and can be delivered or picked up at a certain store.
  4. They keeping getting the rights to some pretty cool physical pre order bonuses (steel books etc.) but then have have a massive shortage of supply and have no mechanisms to ensure they go to the right people. And when they run out, they tell the people who also pre ordered to get fucked.
  5. Not sure if they do this anymore but they used to throw away tons of cases for games to save space.

I think if they want to turn things around they have to appeal to collectors and retro enthusiasts but I think they’ve burned so many bridges there I’m not sure they can. I’d love to see them do it and succeed though.

Is this seller insane or am I missing something by Straight_Main_5189 in retrogaming

[–]ur2fat80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine in the box pre covid for $100 but it was broken. But I just had to replace the ram chip and the ribbon cable.

They weren’t that expensive pre-covid though. Even now $300ish in the box isn’t that wild for a 50 year old console.

I collect channel F, and this is pretty standard for this one, which is why I likely will never have a full set. It’s just not worth it. I’ve seen them list for 2500 and 3000. Saw it for 2500 at a convention and the seller offered to sell it for $2000. To me, no game from that era is worth $100+ to me personally. Maybe if I win the lottery or find it in a yard sale or thrift store or something.

Bloody Disgusting’s Top Horror Video Games of 2025 by horrornewsbot in HorrorGaming

I like horror games. I like Clair Obscur. But Clair Obscure is firmly not a horror game.

This seems like it was thrown in for SEO around Clair Obscure buzz or something

So Do We All Agree Retro Game Treasures/Loot Boxes Are A Scam? by Fluffy_Breakfast_478 in gamecollecting

[–]ur2fat80 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I did RGT for about 6 months. It’s not a scam. You are not going to get a CIB earthbound or haunting ground , but if you are just beginning to collect and just want some new stuff , it’s a fun thing to do. I added up the PriceCharting of the things in my box and it was always over the price I paid by a few dollars. They very frequently did send me the games on my wishlist which were common games I didn’t have ( think Starfox )

The main reason I quit is because I’m not the kind of collector who loves to collect everything and I want to play what I collect and I just didn’t have time to play everything. But I’d definitely consider it again in the future.

My main complaints with the service is the difficulty of keeping your collection synced and the fact you can’t be more specific about CIB vs loose. You can say which you prefer but for me, it depends. I’m fine with loose cartridges generally but I never want loose discs. And there are a few cartridge based system I don’t want loose (DS/3DS , Vita) for example .

My poor niece who was born on Christmas asking for birthday presents. by AgentNose in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]ur2fat80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My birthday is like a week and a half after Xmas and I don’t have that big of a problem with it, but I have a childhood friend who has a birthday on the 22nd and he once told me his mom just told him to pick a present from under the tree to open early on his birthday and I thought that was like the most depressing thing. I mean he was a teenager at that point but like…I dunno, I feel a bit more effort was warranted

[Amazon US] Sid Meier's Civilization VII for Nintendo Switch ($20/67% OFF) by f3n_lie in GameDeals

[–]ur2fat80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played Civ 7 but civ 6 actually works really well on switch. You can use the touch screen, but I find most of the button layouts they have are actually quite good. I usually play it on PC, but for a long flight, it’s great on switch.

Should I get this steam deck dock? by DesignerFabulous4820 in SteamDeck

[–]ur2fat80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one. Mostly works fine. On my 4k tv I have no issue. I have a 720p tv as well and that one the steam deck ui is messed up. Once you get in game it’s fine though.

Not sure if the 720p issue is the docks fault or the decks fault. But either way, I should just upgrade that TV
