I very very rarely pre-order but if reviews are out and you’re already planning on buying it, it could be worth it. Some stores provide a discount for pre-ordering games, I got Elden Ring for 15% off before it even released which is nice.

I think it’s less that they tried to improve upon season 1 and more like they tried to make it appeal to more people when it suddenly got popular. Season 1 felt very self-contained and genuinely tried to be a horror mystery show, the later seasons seem aimed at teenagers with lots of dumb teenage drama and quirky humor… I remember feeling some tonal whiplash going into season 2 but I guess not that many people noticed at the time.

There’s !nomanssky@lemmy.world but it’s not super active. You’re bound to find some fans in the general gaming communities like this one though.

I’m new to Lemmy BTW.

Welcome!

Loved the game, but… we don’t talk about that cow scene…

How is this Nintendo’s fault lol

The Switch 2 could absolutely handle Skyrim at 60fps if not 120, it’s not their fault Bethesda half-assed the port.

It’s releasing next month, so you won’t have to wait much longer.

Sweet. There have been a lot of Rhythm Heaven clones over the years, but this one looks like the most promising.

Not at all what I expected from the Rogue Legacy devs. It looks like Into the Breach but with a fantasy/DnD style. Keeping my eye on this one.

Great article, but a very painful one to read. Mina the Hollower was one of my most anticipated games this year, and it sucked that it got delayed the same month it was supposed to release in.

What was once considered a less ambitious side project is now the company’s largest game ever. “We basically had to redo everything,” D’Angelo says. If they’d all stuck together from the beginning, Gordon says, “we would’ve finished it two to three years ago.”

So it sounds like the game got delayed because they were split into two teams. One was working on a 3D Shovel Knight sequel, and one was working on Mina the Hollower. The person directing the latter was struggling and slowed down the project, so they fired a bunch of people, focused on Mina, and basically restarted its development.

The good news is that if things go to plan, they said they’ll revisit the 3D Shovel Knight game. I’m really looking forward to that.

Oh my god, I’ve wanted to play this game like 10 years ago but avoided doing so because I heard it’s pay to win. Soon I can finally find out what it’s all about. Being patient pays off!

He’s always been pretty chill unless someone is trying to merge code he doesn’t like into the Linux kernel, then he’d throw 20 back-to-back emails insulting that guy and go back to the Linus we know.
