Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.
I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is expected to release "later this year", says industry insider1·1 year agoAt this point, I won’t believe it’s actually coming out until it’s actually for sale. I also don’t have any high hopes for it being very good if it does come out.

What Nintendo is doing works really well for Nintendo. They’re over 100 years old (which is considered a young company in Kyoto!) and are not about chasing the best and shiniest, but what works best for their continued long-term survival. They will always do their own thing and at their own pace.

I’m not sure what the keyboard command is, but on controller, hit triangle or Y when you roll. It goes straight to the final result.

stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Nintendo Is Telling Game Publishers Switch 2 Will Be Delayed5·1 year agoI’m not really surprised. Nintendo tends to run on its own schedule. They also might be hoping the yen strengthens so it won’t cost them as much to produce new consoles. Knowing Nintendo, they’ll want to have enough in stock to not have supply problems like Sony did with the PS5.

stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•The Industry Is Divided On How To Write Video Game Romance81·1 year agoI genuinely prefer when the companion characters aren’t playersexual, since it makes them feel for real to me. It also gives me a reason to switch up things like gender or sexuality for my character on replays. The only reason I’ve ever played as BroShep in Mass Effect was to romance characters I couldn’t as FemShep.
I was watching a video on YouTube yesterday of someone’s favorite romances in video games, and all I could think watching it was, “You’ve never once played as a female character, huh,” because all his favorite romances were for straight male characters, and that just felt so, I dunno, limited and boring to me. Romance Garrus, romance Dorian, try to role play and not just play as yourself.

stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3 Passes Half a Million Reviews on Steam and 96% Are Positive5·1 year agoThis really is one of those games that’s worth it at full price. Save waiting on a sale for the half-finished games that shouldn’t be priced as high as they are.

So it’s just irony that Sony is doing the same thing now.

From what I heard, they were dropping from four companions to three, Mass Effect style, and wanted the combat to be more like God of War. So my fear is it’s gonna be like Andromeda, where you can’t control your companions’ abilities at all.
