10 WEIRD Gaming Stories of July 2024

[@Mox2077]

How tf does GameMill afford to license all these wellknown IPs? This company MUST be owned by someone using it as a tax write off, otherwise this truly doesn't make any sense

[@stuartmorley6894]

Why doesn't anyone licencing a game to them bother checking any of their other games first? Unless the answer is lots of money then it makes zero sense.

[@Krexel]

​@@stuartmorley6894 Probably because as long as they're getting money from licensing they're happy

[@jordanc2211]

Tax write off? so ppl just get free money? bruh

[@Redreaperify]

they're partnered with the companies who own the IPs and all of their staff are industry Vets (except for their actual devs) and they have partnerships with Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, etc. (especially since they popped out 5 games for Nick.)

[@ericmedlock]

Beetroot is very popular in Australia. They eat it on burgers.

[@unfuckinglovable]

That’s cool. I had no clue it was popular in any culture’s burger. I’d bet money more of the population has less diabetes/blood pressure issues than the u.s.

[@Gam3Junkie7]

To be fair to the butt controller, the detachable butt could be used when you're not playing, because it just sits there when not in use, so I'm not being cheeky when I say it's a tight accessory for keeping it from bouncing around and falling into cracks. Did I mention it's a butt?

[@velzekt]

Microsoft didn't recall the Xbox 360 and didn't replace all of them, they just extended their warranty for them

[@seanaugagnon6383]

Why the fuck would you want to play resident evil 7 on a phone. That makes no sense. Just playing the game screams it's bad on a phone. You need a large screen to see the detail. You need a good speaker so you can hear enemies sneaking up on you.

[@ced1106]

Exactly that. And I can't see the Candy Crush market deciding to play horror games.

[@masterace9543]

​@@ced1106 I believe they're horror games on mobile just not to the level of Re7

I mean, you can use head phones, the ones that cover your ears? And if people enjoy the game and spend enough money than it works right ? Just playing devils advocate so I mainly agree but kind of disagree that triple a gaming can’t come to phones cmon I want to play crash on my android.

[@JScotty4Reel]

My main takeaway is that the creator of Doug, clearly had a fascination with Estonia and beets in retrospect

Playing RE7 on my phone would definitely be impressive. What it wouldn’t be is fun.

They also only made 30 of the Deadpool Butt controller. Source: Coworker's wife is one of the Disney-Marvel people who worked with Maximum Fun (Ryan's company) to make the Butt-trollers.

[@dylanvsdylan]

Using the microphone for The Quiet Place made me think of that Adventure Time episode where Jake farts in the cave. The possibilities for gameplay sabotage are endless. They should definitely add it as a feature and bring it to VR.

Fr control is shit on mobile and most good titles are now just ports.

[@stuartmorley6894]

You can buy an adapter to turn your phone into a mobile gaming device for pretty cheap.

This is exactly the roadblock with mobile gaming imo, We have already started to get phones which can run/emulate very modern games but controlling such games is HORRIBLE i would bet money over 50% of the people who bought it on mobile have some sort of input device or phone "controller".

[@INikeAir]

You can just connect your Xbox controller to your phone and you can play that way. But I get it, if I’m doing that I would just play on my console

Trust me guys, "Spooky Jimmy Nuetron" is the least weird thing about Outlast Trials Project Lupara. For example, this guy carries THERMOS(s) of "Wolf's milk" that's a mixture of gin, vodka, and eggwhites to make a sweet, chunky, milky substance. He's a infantile terror to the female playerbase. Enough about that, I've been subbed since 2013, thats like 10 years ago which is insane, and Gameranx has never not made a great video, that's amazing guys! Keep up the greatness, it's been a pleasure!

The original Witcher is amazing. Amazing story, decent gameplay, and the graphics were good for the time (I grew up on Super Mario Bros. for NES). It was ahead of its time. I still enjoy going back and playing the entire Witcher series. Not to mention your choices in Witcher 1 and 2 carry over to Witcher 3, Mass Effect style!

Speaking to the low quality of Witcher 1... Likely Falcon's referring to time with the so-called Enhanced Edition of The Witcher 1. The *original* version was terrible, from the game to the writing to the script. I would not be surprised if GOG has made the original version entirely unavailable. (I don't seem to be able to find it in my gog library, and I've had it since launch.)

Is the butt controller squishy, at least?

[@DMBLaan]

So slight correction on the Deadpool butt controller. It's not being sold, Xbox only made like 2 or 3 of them and gave them out as prizes or something to that effect. This actually caused some people to get mad because they couldn't just buy them. Making joke like "Xbox is allergic to money", which is funny but not for the reason they think it is. Also, they made a Wolf version too.
