if anyone is watching the Jaffa Factory 2 series, the first 25 minutes of this VOD has some neat behind the scenes stuff https://youtu.be/w8BIoqC4od0

Now that I have finished 100%ing it, I have to say, Banjo-Kazooie was a huge letdown plagued by design choices I think were actively detrimental to the game. I can see why people like it, but I overall was dissapointed by the game. I hear tooie is worse, so I look forward to playing that at some point.
I think people gave it a pass, because they felt like character platformers were dead at the time
I guess
If I had to sum up my thoughts on half of my issues, it is that it feels like they made a 3D 2D platformer, instead of being a proper 3D platformer game design wise
Polu informed me the other day that me playing the N64 release was the worst release of the game, and the xbox one was the best release
so things like not having my notes reset on death would offset my issues, but it would not change the underlying game design faults that cause those issues
Year off to a good start, I have 100%'d more games than I have just normally completed
KappaRosss
I didn't even finish XCX
I am not going to buy it, I only make the mistake of buying a game from a series I do not really play much of once
I'll have one more 100% once some guide comes out so I can figured out how to get the remaining CGs from the living with sister DLC
No idea how to finish getting those
I will get that at some point, probably will not 100% it
it would be really neat if they ported all of the Earth exclusive mobs https://minecraft.wiki/w/Earth:Exclusive_features#Mobs
Has anyone tried Playnite? If so, did you find it useful?
I can't see how this would have any value if you already use steam
since you can add non products to steam anyways and manage them via that
I saw a different service getting pushed just yesterday, that's almost the same thing
It's for merging things like Steam with GOG or Epic Games, and I think tracking stats and achievements maybe? That's why I wanted to ask
Backloggd is all self reporting
and I'm 1:1 with what Pika said in general, even as someone with a fuckton of games, I don't see the value in any of these sites
I'd rather just do it in-client
Replying to ChivesKirk #chiveskirk Backloggd is all self reporting
wait is it really? I assumed it had a library sync since that's easy and free
or do you just mean, it's less automated
The only thing I saw that that maybe is a plus is there is some modules for torrenting shit in app if you want to pirate, but I feel like if you are pirating games you can just do that yourself
So I guess you haven't tried Playnite, then. My impression is that it's a software you can use offline and has a lot of customization
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak The only thing I saw that that maybe is a plus is there is some modules for torrenting shit in app if you want to pirate, but I feel like if you are pirating games you can just do that yourself
yeah that's interesting, I don't really catalogue games I pirate, because if they were good I'd probably just buy them
Yeah, I get what the point of the program is
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I saw a different service getting pushed just yesterday, that's almost the same thing
backlogged is just mal
I just think the core value proposition is not worth the effort to use it
good to know, I saw the /v/ga people mention it and glanced at it
Playnite has been around for forever, it pre-dated Steam's library overhaul
Yeah feels like a thing you need to start using early or its worthless
I don't think any Nintendo consoles keep track of playtime. You would have to keep all your saves and then go into each game and add everything up.
they do sort of
at least since the wii (gamecube?)
3ds does, switch does just not accurately unless you use the parental app
I probably have like 2000 hours on GB and DS tho
If I started tracking my game playing from when I started playing games, I'd be more interested
but its far too late to care
All I know is for sure my 3 most played games are Tf2, then minecraft, then issac rebirth
Backloggd is very funny because they allow fangames of all kinds on there
I mean, if you are a database
you should
why not
You should allow minecraft adventure maps too
fuck it
I sure am glad I tracked the 5 hours I played of roblox tycoon number 50104
