Is this poll supposed to settle some drunken debate ?

I have been playing through Dragon Quest XI (60ish hours in I think) and a part of it made me want to create a little youTube video. It probably does not make much sense if you never played the game and is a (minor?) spoiler if you have not.

While I don't own or every used any 8bitdo controllers, I think I should note that the praise for those is not universal. The Mexican Runner who spent last month getting all the possible endings and speedrunning records imaginable in Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, spend a good chunk of his time...

Chessbea is an actual person that, as far as I understand, has been involved with chess for years before chess streaming has been a thing. Hansen, who met her in person, said that she basically financed Hambleton's GM title (getting the title implies full time dedication to chess plus a lot of...

I read that DMX got a heart attack a couple days ago and is now in a vegetative state. 50 years old :( Not a huge fan or anything, but it Immediatly made me think of this track, or more exactly to the music video of this track and its great ending.

Is there some PK offline, Lineage-style though ?

Very different games I think. Subnautica is an exploration/resource gathering/crafting game and Abzu is a more linear experience about the beauty of the underwater world. I have not played Subnautica, but it's supposedly very good. Abzu feels a bit like Flower or Journey, but not as great (it's...

I actually saw Trial of the Chicago 7 in theater just before they got closed again. Enjoyable movie, but nothing amazing. Sasha Baron Cohen is indeed very good in it. Some of my friends have seen Mank and Promising Young Woman and liked them, so I heard of them, but I have seen neither. Pretty...

Why would you say this and not say what game it was ? Is that some guilty pleasure you want to keep secret or something ? :D

To be fair, it's Sega that choses how to name their game on the store. The thoughts and efforts put into these store metadata are often surprisingly minimal considering how important they are. Spend 300k man hours to create a game, spend 15 minutes on its store presence...

My Switch gathered dust for a couple months or three and now that I want to play it again, my right joy-con refuses to connect via bluetooth (but still works perfectly when connected and does charge). I guess it's Nintendo's way of telling me I need to buy an actual controller for when I want to...

Was not sure in what thread to post it..... I guess here is the place where most people might enjoy this ? I have been playing games of a TurboGrafx-16 mini (well, actually on the EU version called CoreGrafx mini) and on it there is this shmup called Lords of Thunder (original jp title : Winds...

More potential solution :

According to Kotaku :

@Bubbles For games that have a physical release, there might be a pretty long time between the moment they stop working on what ends up on the disk and the moment consumers have said disk in their hands. Cyberpunk 2077 went gold on the 5th of October and got released on the 10th of December...

From the director, Chloé Zhao, I have seen The Rider and I would highly recommend it (it's the raw portrait of an injured rodeo rider). Her other two movies, Songs My Brothers Taught Me and Nomadland are suposedly very good too. Obviously that's no indication as to what will happen when she...

The correct reference for this thread would be Spinal Tap's amp :D

Don't people like the controller's color anyway ?

To be fair, the Souls game are not hard. They are hard at first because there are not many games like them that require a modicum of caution and restrain. Once you understand that, they are not hard. A later step is mastering them and realizing you can actually run around and be aggressive. I...

I thought it might be an adaptation of The Tartar Steppe - Wikipedia , but it's based on a 1980 book of the same title by south african nobel prize winner J. M. Coetzee (who apparently was influenced by Buzzati's book).

@Sanrith Descartes I concede that I read these scenes in the worst possible way and I know that is absolutely not the intent. The intent, which, if I remember correctly, is even explicitly given by a voice over, is to deliver a very dry explanation in a way that keeps the spectators engaged. I...

Blaming the poor for not knowing their place is a pretty strange take. Anyway, I enjoyed that movie, but had mixed feeling about it. Checking my notes about it, I was unsure about the didactic sequences using the stars. In a way it's nice that these explanations are there (the Wolf of Wall...

Retro Studios, not Rare. I doubt Rare in 2000 would have been able to do anything remotely as brilliant as Metroid Prime.

I am surprised by Crusader King III being mentioned just the once. Isn't it supposed to be great ? Maybe it's too much of a niche game or maybe people playing it don't have time to go on message boards.....

SPOILERS ahead : I only played it back on PS3, but I remember being slightly disappointed with the world tendency stuff as it felt it could have had a bigger narrative payoff. The main things that comes to mind is the Valley of Defilement line, with a number of hints that maybe there could be...

StarCraft : Ghost ? It got released finally ? :emoji_astonished:

Come to think of it, I played almost no 2020 games in 2020. I mostly played retro games and a few recent-but-not-2020 games (Yakuza 6, Control, Among Us). As a result, my GOTY is Poly Bridge 2 (150 hours played too). That or Kentucky Route Zero. It was published in 5 chapters between January...

Don't skip Rondo of Blood though. An amazing game even if it takes a little while to realize it.

Looks a bit bland in black only... where is the Oreo branded one ?

Owned by Amazon, you know, that worker cooperative...

@Kiroy Don't be disingenuous. Lithose mentioned "a certain media mogul with profound sway over various awards ceremonies" (the direct target being Jennifer Lawrence's award winning part in the Weinstein produced Silver Linings Playbook - even though she had been nominated two years before for...
