I recently finished Haste. God, I love Haste. I love Haste, I love Haste, I love Haste. Amazing game. Can't get it out of my mind and keep coming back to it. What a game!! If anyone had told me I'd fall this deeply in love with a parkour game, I'd have asked for some of what they were smoking. The final video for Haste will come out sometime in April. Until then, I'm very happy to have another game that I rate above a 10 to play. Thank you, @LandfallGames

Rebekah Valentine, journo trash from IGN who wrote the "sexism" hit piece on Game Science attempting to destroy the credibility of the Black Myth Wukong launch, is the very same journo running a story attacking Pearl Abyss for a paintings discovered that allegedly used ai. Game Science = Chinese → eastern Pearl Abyss = South Korean → eastern As I stated before, I was waiting for the moment for journos to find ANYTHING to appear and try and knock this game down. They HATE eastern developers because they don't bend the knee to the ideological nutjob cult like western developers do. There is a war happening. It has been for some time. There is no conspiracy. Cultural Marxism consumes and destroys everything it touches. Their kryptonite is and will always be... accountability.

@lofi_lover0930 Fair enough. I guess I finished the game while not knowing what I was doing. Not trying to diss it though. I love everything but the combat. Well, except 9S. Definitely didn't like playing as him. He's even worse when it comes to combat.

@Lightsyde Nier Automata is a button masher if you don't know what you're doing I don't know what else to tell you But hey if you wanna stick to this opinion, I'm fine with that It's yours after all and I got mine

"Stellar Blade is Nier Automata improved" Alright, let's not get carried away Nier Automata is way better than Stellar Blade Stellar Blade wishes it's Nier Automata but it ain't on that level yet Maybe the sequel might get closer but right now? Not even close IMO

Nope. My reply doesn't stem from a love of soulslikes... NA is a button-mashing step-down even when compared to Senran Kagura. You keep pressing the attack button, and the game does all the fighting for you. There is nothing to it outside of that and basic combat awareness. I love Nier Automata, but absolutely NOT for its combat. Tales of Berseria's combat is better than Nier Automata by a long shot, and it's a bunch of prescripted combos. The difference is that Tales of Berseria's prescripted combos have more technicality to it. I'll be playing Stellar Blade proper very soon, but even the demo had more meaningful and satisfying combat, and I honestly don't see it as a soulslike.

@Lightsyde Dogshit? You and I did not play the same game or you prefer Soulslikes Only one or the other

@Lovense_Gaming No can do.

The internet: CEOs should eat their own products. #Lovense: …we would like to be excluded from this narrative.

@lofi_lover0930 Good to know.

Same here I did not really struggle with the controls in Crimson Desert I practiced in one fight then practiced traversal a little bit and it clicked properly and I adapted I adapt to any controls fast so maybe it's also me but yeah got no complaints about the controls at all

@YorchTorchGames Hahahaha!!! She's a true champ!!

@lofi_lover0930 @KujoVictor I mained Sephiroth when I used to play it. "Tell me what you love the most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away."

@KujoVictor PSP game

Square Enix is talking about the first Final Fantasy Dissidia game and still refuse to port the damn game for modern consoles and PC

@Pirat_Nation Okay, I changed my mind. Apparently, it's not that simple - steamcommunity.com/id/taphophobia…

@Pirat_Nation Based on this post, most of those complaining are those who are used to rebinding any inconvenient controls all the time. It's not a good gaming habit to get into x.com/Vman_95/status…

Crimson Desert players are asking for refunds due to the game's terrible clunky controls. "Whoever designed the control scheme should seek employment with the devil."

@Vman_95 @Pirat_Nation THIS is what people are crashing out over? Good lord.

@Pirat_Nation Looks pretty normal to me.

@YorchTorchGames It's funny how this is even contested. Elon was right to coin it as a virus.

@chadeyecom @Lord_Arse Indeed :)

@Lightsyde @Lord_Arse lol my yt timeline showing more of old game music now😆 This girl plays it very good imho 😃 That Chris hülsbeck dude composed really good stuff , wtf🧐 m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq1b6F…

Which is it?

@DBaptistaSilva @Pirat_Nation @Sony GOG offers ownership, though, as much as it is possible to own something digitally. It just doesn't have enough support from players and devs, and a big enough library.

@Pirat_Nation Anything that goes against Steam has my support. PC renters, one day, will understand Steam destroyed PC gaming and made them all renters, slave to ONE company. Though, if I were @Sony, I wouldn't put PlayStation games on PC at all.

Sony is reportedly working on its own dedicated PC launcher for PlayStation games. >PSN account to play, let Sony keep 100% of the revenue instead of giving a cut to Steam >Possibly block their titles from running on Microsoft’s upcoming Project Helix hybrid console. >The first major title to use this approach could be Marvel’s Wolverine. Sony has not made any official statement yet.

@YorchTorchGames @Pirat_Nation No boobs? Still slacking off :p

@Pirat_Nation Let's just hope DLSS 5 can do this and call it a day

NVIDIA has confirmed that DLSS 5 its like a “filter” and works by taking two main inputs: - A single rendered 2D frame (the normal color image the game produces) - Motion vectors (data showing how objects move between frames) It does not get access to deeper game data like 3D geometry, depth buffers, or material properties. The AI looks only at the flat image and motion information, then guesses details about the scene, such as skin, hair, fabric, characters, and lighting.

@chadeyecom @Lord_Arse That's quite lovely. Amazing really. Saved to my YT music playlist... thanks for sharing! Been a long time since I played Elden Ring. I don't remember a good soundtrack in it, though. Most games with long runtimes favour ambient sounds and music, not great soundtracks.

@Lightsyde @Lord_Arse cool. damn i can't remember soundtracks 😅 for example was elden rings OST good? 🤔 I remember good old Giana Sisters sound had cool melody 😆😆😆 m.youtube.com/watch?v=cRorj5…

Original art - An eager dragon about to indulge in goodies and curious why his friend is holding him back.. Concept = time to indulge, but perhaps you might want to restrain yourself a little? Your art - Pretty picture of two cuties strolling together. Concept = Happy, stroll, chummy buddies.

@Lightsyde @Pirat_Nation

Steam just announced their 2026 Spring Sale artwork was made by human artists No AI.

@zdr_0x @Pirat_Nation The original art conveys the general feeling better because it conveys the concept better. If you had only tempered with the shading, perhaps I'd agree with you.

@Pirat_Nation I made a better one with AI. AI makes everything better. Hail, AI! 🫡

@Pirat_Nation People like him are always pushing anti-Consumer practices. When he doesn't, it's because it benefits him #fixUE5

A new survey shows 9 in 10 game workers disagree with Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, saying game stores should require GenAI disclosures. Sweeney believes the tech will become as common in game development as game engines, and “It makes no sense for game stores” where AI will be involved in nearly all future production. via @wccftech
