Discussion Submission Restrictions Removed

25 Upvotes

So when I took over this subreddit several years ago, it was basically a favor for someone who was deactivating their account and they were going to be making a new one to take it back over. Well, it's been... a long time and I don't think they are coming back. (Insert dad getting milk/cigs lame joke here...)

I'm not as active on reddit as I once was, so I didn't really dig into the issues revolving around why certain members couldn't post in the subreddit, but I think those issues have been resolved.

I didn't create this subreddit. I will still check in here and there, but it's mostly been an organic community untouched by myself. I'll continue to allow it to be organic. Vote the good stuff up. Vote the bad stuff down. Message me if there's an issue.

Any volunteers to moderate are welcome to message.

Discussion Dishonored ruined other games for me lol.

4 Upvotes

There 100's of game that are considered good.

One may have amazing gameplay. One may have amazing story, And one might make you deep questions.

But there are very few that can all of those and do them right.

Those are what I consider masterpiece.

Dishonored is that Masterpiece.
I can sit here and talk about all the other things that Dishonored does so well.....

but the part that ruined games for me was

The player freedom.

This game gives you ridiculous amounts of freedom

and variety in the consequences of your decisions.

HOW DID THEY DO IT? IT'S BLACK MAGIC.

Discussion Bo7. To Buy or not to buy…

I don’t have much time for games and haven’t really been able to get into anything lately.
I’m weighing the option of buying games pass ultimate to try out bo7 zombies.
Is it worth it? Or should I just buy the game?

Today's topic? The fact that technically, there's a third party licensed Half-Life game, and I love it.

Gunman Chronicles is a sleeper hit, a beautiful, terrible disaster, and something that I want to share with the world.

I couldn't compile my thoughts into a brief review, so today's rant is an educational one.

Discussion New reviewer here ,any advice??

0 Upvotes

Hi im a pretty new reviewer , im pretty young ig but im in love with retro games so I always play them and well reviews are like my therapy since i literally have no friends lol, so I try to post on yt some reviews, I dont really care much about views since its for fun ,

I have played a lot of good games but i LOVE talking about the laughably bad games a lot

But I still have one review up which is kinda mid and like 3 whole drafts of actual good ones and im soo bad at motivating myself to finish the script since they're soo long ..currently I have in the works a review on mission impossible operation surma lmao ,and my first rev that was like 30 mins has 30 pages of script and this one has 30 but im just at the half of the story segment.. I love telling the story in detail cause this is what usually makes the games funny to talk about and I think that review is actually good but it might be too long, is it normal for most the video to be the story segment ???

And also how do yall focus on only 1 game , i already have drafts to mib alien crisis(worst game ive ever played , I tried to also record a whole lets play /game video which is okay but it takes long to edit ofc not surprize there) which it think im going to make first since the game wasnt that long tbh, the m:i ps2 game, and also the wii hawx 2 game which is sitting there to rot for soo long even tho thats the first u finished out of them all, im thinking of also doing ac0 belkan war to have at least something pozitive,

Im asking a bit for advice on the length of stuff if its normal or not, I like my style, because its genuienly how id talk to a friend if I had one and I love making them joke filled thats why I choose worser ones, I just love putting all the personality I have in them :>

Discussion Game reviewers: How are games assigned to you?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to ask a question to those who write game reviews for any outlet (no need to name names).

I've been curious about how game reviews work for a while now, and a question came to mind: When you're given a game to review, is it usually based on your personal preferences and interests, or are games just randomly assigned to you?

If there's anything else you can share about the process without getting yourself into trouble, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks a lot!

Post image

Thank You Bus Driver took me a little bit to get the hang of, but once I got going, I actually had quite a bit of fun. While part of me wishes there were different maps, I’m also kind of glad I didn’t have to memorize more locations. There’s not a whole lot to the game, but with it only being about 3 hours long, I think it’s a good bite sized game to run through.

Discussion Looking for more reviews of A World of Keflings on Steam

3 Upvotes

A World of Keflings is an old Xbox 360 (XBLA) game that we (NinjaBee) recently resurrected on Steam. We're <50 reviews short of the 500 milestone. This is probably a long shot, but if you've played it on Steam, a review (of any kind) would mean a lot to our very small team. Thank you!

Boltgun 2 brings with it an updated arsenal, a new playable female character, new enemies, and plenty of accessibility options. There's even multiple difficulty settings for those needing a challenge. The boomer shooter gameplay, itself, is simple yet effective. It's over-the-top gory fun with impactful weaponry. The levels offer up a challenge in the usual gated fashion with mobs lying in wait as well as a boss at the end. There's also secret medals to find. It is very basic in mode and feature offerings, but of high quality in presentation. The pixel design gives it a prestigious look while the visceral sound effects, and soundtrack add to the action. It's tons of fun, albeit a little limited in content.
