Nice to see that the Mana series got a pretty decent revival in the past couple of years. I am usually careful when it comes to publishers remaking and / or reviving old series from my childhood, but this time I have to admit that Square Enix did a pretty good job.
Looks about as shitty as I expected, considering the dumpsterfire that BioWare has been for at least the past decade. I am just glad that, for now, we still have Larian Studios making good, classic CRPGs. Here’s hoping they never get bought up by EA or other large soulless corporations.
As a huge fan of the first Dragon’s Dogma I am very much disappointed with the game as it was released today. Honestly after playing for about 2-3 hours today on PS5, I have to say the game is very much not ready for release.
It’s clear that the game was rushed and needed at least a couple more months in development. I am sure they will fix the most egregious problems but as it stands right now I would not buy the game. Shame fucking Sony won’t let you refund a game if you downloaded it, which is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
“Hey liebe Ausländer. Kommt nach Deutschland und wohnt in überteuerten Mini-Wohnungen für die ihr 1/3 eures Einkommens ausgeben dürft um in einem beschissenen, unterbezahlten Job zu arbeiten, mit Arbeitszeiten die euch das komplette Privatleben zerstören. Und als Bonus dürft ihr euch jeden Tag in der Zeitung und den Nachrichten anhören, dass die Menschen für die ihr euch aufopfert, wollen, dass ihr euch wieder verpisst. Von kleinen “unschuldigen” rassistischen “Späßchen” die ihr euch täglich aussetzen müsst ganz zu schweigen.”
Kann gar nicht verstehen, wieso wir nicht von den Fachkräften überrannt werden…
Back in the olden days I played Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast at a buddys home. I didn’t have a username for online play and I think he had gotten his from a Majoras Mask guide, so I flipped through it and randomly chose Gibdos. It’s been my one and only username for over 20 years now.
For me it must’ve been either one of the Commander Keen games or the original Prince of Persia back in the early 90s. Still damn good games.
Thanks for that suggestion. Never heard of it, but it sounds like a neat concept. Gonna give it a try.
Linux Mint has been my go-to distro for probably ten years. Just recently helped a friend transition from Windows 10 to Linux Mint and so far she’s been pretty happy with it. Thanks again Microsoft for your stupid hardware requirements for Windows 11. Makes it so much easier to get people to switch to Linux.
