Probably doesn't help when the original release of Witcher 3 was a broken mess at times on Steam. More people playing shows that CDPR learned from the previous issues. Also, there's a new DLC releasing soon, people are probably getting ready for it.

Witcher 3 hitting higher steam concurrents today than they did at their original launch is gonna push more developers to release more stuff for their older, already wildly successful games, and y'know what good

Would you listen to a bunch of whiny illiterates that can't do basic research who threatened the lives of your employees? Yes, pro-physical groups promoted doxxing, harassment, and harm against employees, not the higher-ups who made the decision, actual everyday employees.

until they walk back the physical stuff people will only get madder and madder at each attempt to pander lol, do they have no idea how online mobs work

A thing I ask for when it comes to Castlevania Belmont's Curse is that Evil Empire and @konamina.bsky.social doesn't lock trophies and achievements away from anyone who uses the accessibility features. Also, don't know if anyone had this issue. The first cutscene during the demo glitched out on me.

The issue with replies like this is that you never know if they're serious or not. Context: It's about the Sega Nomad being around before the Nintendo Switch. If this person is serious, Hudson Soft's Turbo Express, which did the same thing, predated the Nomad by 5 years.

Nintendo needs to be sued for plagiarism

Hudson Soft did it 5 years before Sega with the Turbo Express.

sega did portable home console games 22 years before nintendo did

That's nothing. Try the direct sequel to Psychonauts being a vr game and taking place right before the starting point of Psychonauts 2 and having to know what happened in the vr game to understand main plot points for the 2nd game.

My 2 cents on this... Scalpers and reseller are nothing but a bunch of hobby ruining shitheads. 1. Never buy anything off ebay that looks to be new.(or double check the price compared to the MSRP.) 2. It's okay to resell and trade your stuff around, but stop with the obnoxious ass pricing.

Fandoms have always had it's shitty people. They're the ones usually referred to has gatekeepers.

"Fandoms used to be full of nice ppl before covid and then all the bullies and popular kids joined" is literally an "the earth is flat" tier false belief to me

Started playing Breath of Fire yesterday. I can definitely see why so many of the rom-hacks adjust either the encounter rate, adjust for exp boosts, or both. The first Breath of Fire is torture to play due to how muck exp it takes to level up and the encounter rates that barely give exp.

I definitely always try whenever I can. If you're having fun, the devs deserve to know that as much as possible.

This is your random reminder that letting a creator know when you've really enjoyed their game is the most invaluable you can give them. It can make more than our day. It can fuel us when times are rough or when we're struggling for inspiration. It can keep us going. No joke. No exaggerating.

$50-80 is around the going price for the game. The geezer in question was either a reseller or looks up going prices.

Im mad that i went to a flee market and a geezer tried to convince me to buy a 70$ snes mario rpg. I ain’t paying more than i did for a game that came out last week than for a 30 year old game. Fucker tried to haggle with me for it discounting 5 dollars. WOW THANK YOU. I didnt get it.

Keep this is mind that none of the original Persona 4 actors even once congratulated the actors for Persona 4 Revival. I understand seeing your role being giving to a new actor sucks, but most of the original actors are huge names even before Persona 4, and should be supportive of new voice actors.

I feel like Zach Cregger watched all of those shit Sci-Fi (SYFY) zombie movies back in the day and was like... yeah I can do better. I would honestly like to see what he could pull off with a George Romero title.

These pro-physical groups are making it harder and harder to defend their causes. I'd rather have physical over digital, but I would never go as far as harassing an actor of a game. (Especially when game is getting a physical release)

That was obvious. Not only would a small, and I mean a small fraction of PS5 owners doing the blackout yield no results. Many of them, including all of the pro physical groups, immediately were ready to jump back on the second new games such as Onimusha, Wolverine, and GTA VI release.

Keep in mind that education levels are down, not because kids aren't doing this or that, but because a bunch of geriatrics and middle aged whiners whose parents didn't care about their safety are telling you all that they don't have the funding to improve and adjust today's educational system.

Playing Xenosaga for the first time.

One thing that I've always enjoyed about the Zelda games is that each game has a unique art style to make it feel different, with only sequels or connecting games using similar styles.

Something very funny about the Ocarina of Time remake has been seeing in real time how all the Hardcore "Graphics don't matter FPS don't matter its all about the artistry and gameplay!" Nintendo Fans turned indistingishable from Ball and Gun Gamers the moment an Unreal Engine 5 Zelda trailer dropped

Just reminding gamers how you all treated Kojima after Metal Gear Solid 2 was released, and don't let me remind you all how he was treated after Death Stranded was released. Everyone keeps trying to treat him as a saving grace, but in reality, you're all just waiting for any reason to go after him.

If these are your main reasons for playing or wanting to play Final Fantasy Resonance.... You're a gatekeeper.

I wouldn't want either, but I would choose all digital over this mess.

@square-enix-games.com No, bad Square. No cd-key bullshit. The first two parts used two discs to help with the game sizes, this one shouldn't be any different.

The thing that Mahler still doesn't understand is that truth and opinion are two entirely different things. Reviews for example are opinions at the time. Yes, they can change, but it doesn't change how that opinion was felt during the first playthrough.

Knoebel@knoebel.bsky.social · last mo.

Thomas Mahler best known for metldowns on Twitter/Era and the Ori series launched a website similar to Opencritic/Metacritic where user reviews accounting 2/3 of the score. The thought process is that the review score shouldn't stay untouched after the original release. videogamescritic.com

Anyone following this page and others like it are pro-harassment and pro-defamation. The people who run these pages seem to still keep harassing employees, and this post just proved it. Leave those employees alone, they do not deserve to be harassed, defamed, or doxxed.

Yes, it is crap what Sony is currently doing, but it's also crazy how much they have just proven the mass illiteracy of most gamers.

Definitely shows that people should honestly read the t&c more often and also read what they click on. There's really nowhere, at least on the European and N.American digital shops, that say you're buying the games. You get add to cart and depending on the store get confirm order or order and pay.

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

I wish the pro-physical groups would stop acting like they're winning. P.S. You're really not. Not only is a small fraction of PS5 owners even doing the full blackout, another small fraction of you are more than likely just limiting play instead of doing the full blackout.....

Giving London Seirei Tanteidan (London Spirit Detectives) fan translation.(PS1) a go, and I'm having a good time with it. It's a pretty competently paced RPG(when you figure out where to go), the music is really good, the battle pacing is fluent and quick, and leveling up doesn't feel like a chore.
