@s26me @thicc_stick_boi This is only one of loads of reasons. The fact that the hype has died down by the time it comes, it is full price, people have already seen it and know what it is, it is 1yr-18months later, and so on including 20K other NEW games releasing last year alone.

@thicc_stick_boi Every single Sony PC port sells worse than the one before it, as people increasingly realize how incredibly boring their slop is. They only sell "well" inside their walled garden due limited options and people using mental gymnastics to justify a terrible hardware investment.

That’s definitely going to PC lol

@Vandal__Prime @DestinLegarie The issue is that is your way of gaming. If IGN's reviews don't line up with the games you enjoy then don't read them. People will figure out eventually who they should get their news/reviews from. I haven't read IGN for years, not because of drama but because we didn't align

@DestinLegarie My main issue is that media is pushing games with no depth or gameplay. If a game has challenge or actual mechanics, you can feel that such games get low scores, while that IS gaming. Playing something challenging and overcoming the challenge. That's my main beef wmainst Journali

I liked Mixtape. But I can understand why many didn't. I think the Mixtape Drama is about a bigger Trust problem that's been bubbling up for awhile. I'm not sure how to fix that, but I discuss it a bit in this video. youtube.com/watch?v=-FKrac…

Please tell me people are not actually buying the @valvesoftware Steam Controller from scalpers in 2026? As excited for the controller as you are it is not worth double if not triple the retail price. Have patience and don't feed the scalpers. @Steam needs to do the que system.

@valvesoftware @Steam @OnDeck I have already seen them on Ebay for between £150-£180. When you had a system that effectively stopped scalpers it is disappointing that you moved away from a system that worked. I am in no rush to buy one so this is not effecting me directly but I do think you set the standard.

@valvesoftware @Steam I was wondering why you chose to release the Steam Controller in a different way to the @OnDeck? I believe people were impressed and happy with the launch of the Steam Deck when you had a reservation system. It seems odd that you moved away from what worked

I recently played @BlakeManorGame after an age of wanting to get it. @spookydoorway have created another great game. I really enjoyed playing this and would strongly suggest it to anyone who enjoys detective games. For everyone else try the demo. oldmangaming.org.uk/games-i-have-p…

I finally managed to play @REPLACEDGame. The demo really added to my hype for this game. The game is good and I have really enjoyed my time so far. I have posted a review in progress as I do feel this game deserves the attention oldmangaming.org.uk/games-i-have-p…

really excited about @REPLACEDGame tomorrow. @SupergiantGames Hades 2 and @thaumaturgegame also coming to @XboxGamePass on the same day. Lots to play over the next little while.

This is a great game and I do hope that they continue to patch and work on the game and more importantly I hope they iterate on this. This game was made by people with a 6yr old's imagination and their inability to see that doing certain things is a bad idea. This is a compliment

Pretty everyone has had their say about @CrimsonDesert_ and from my experience they are all correct, whether they like or loathe the game. I have my issues with this game but I do find most are issues that can and are being fixed with patches. oldmangaming.org.uk/games-i-have-p…

I have a genuine question. What do @Xbox need to do to get us PC gamers to buy games from them instead of Steam? It hit while watching the partner preview that if the game wasn’t on @XboxGamePass I immediately thought of Steam as my go to for the game. We want options but…

Am I missing something with cooking in @CrimsonDesert_? The better quality cooked food adds more health but uses more resources. Makes sense but Hearty grilled meat uses 10 resources and gives 280 health but Grilled used 1 and gives 140? Surely 10 grilled is better than 1 hearty?

People need to be aware that in essence it is a single player MMO game with huge amounts of exploration. Finding things hidden away is a enoyable and the combat is fun when it works. There is no handholding but it is a little on the nose and could use more explanation at times.

The combat isn't easy but the controls do add difficulty. I find myself pushing in the left stick in combat the whole time causing Kliff to put his sword away and shoot out his hook, but this could just be a me thing?

@CrimsonDesert_ is a really good game. There are issues with the control scheme being one of them. I think back on so many games that came out where the control scheme was so outside of the norm and people could not get on with it but with a little practice it became the new norm

I am not trying to be snarky but actually wondering.

@WillJPowers, @CrimsonDesert_ what was the thinking behind not having storage? Not being able to store any of the stuff I have blocking my inventory is fine before you have somewhere to call home but when you do I would like to be able to rid myself of the crafting ingredients.

I was thinking about Xbox and what I would like from them as a PC gamer and what I feel Xbox console gamers would benefit from. Then what I felt that Xbox needs to do in order to overcome the huge deficit they have in reputation and player trust oldmangaming.org.uk/random/what-do…
