Never finished Brütal Legend, but I just want to say that I adore the main title screen, which is an FMV of Jack Black taking you to a “secret” part of a record shop to find the game as a gatefold vinyl, where the buttons are printed on the covers and sleeves and what not. Most charming game opening I experienced as a metal-obsessed kid.

Really worth checking out on youtube: https://youtube.com/watch?v=UpGp9CSMJW8 (stop watching after the guy clicks into the tutorial videos or whatever he’s doing)

loved everything about both games! the sequel is LONG, so it might take you a while. but it tells a great story :)

my only tiny gameplay gripe is the same gripe i had with god of war: ragnarok. if you’ve played both, you know what i mean. but that’s crawling into spoiler territory. also running around looking for resources gets a little tiring sometimes. enjoy your playthrough!

i’m sorry that you have to deal with the outfall of this, OP. gamers are notoriously the most overly sensitive group to generalize, even when they’re meant to think “i recognize that this is pointing out bad apples in my community”. instead, they immediately start defending themselves as if you specifically named them

the sane response is to go “wow that is awful. the gaming community does indeed contain some terrible people, i am glad to be one of the good ones and will distance myself from this behavior”

ah, i see, you’re probably right

respectfully, how have you not seen the infinite rivers of shovelware on steam since they stopped vetting the store ~10 years ago?

this has gotta be the correct answer

i think starfield looks just as uninspired and boring as the next guy, but i think we should take player retention with a grain of salt on linear single-player games. of course people are less inclined to continue playing when they’ve finished the main quest

anyway play resident evil 2 remake

sad that twitter users will jump to literally anything except mastodon. wake me up in 15 years when bluesky finishes its twitter elon musk cycle and it’ll be like i took a 12 second nap

that sounds better than my prejudice made me guess :) i’ll watch more streams of it to get a better feel for it. thank you

i stand with you, my very downvoted brother. granted i’ve seen like 7 minutes total of gameplay, but it just seems like another “build base, do resource chores” game with some very reddit “dude what if you could SHOOT pokémon⁉️” sprinkled on top

i think this is the way it is on every platform, not just pc. the last games i bought at full price were god of war ragnarok, and before that rdr2

fixed title: you can now experience infinite bland empty soulless machine-generated walled sandboxes in more frames per second

that’s DuckDuckGo and “Names Database” CEO*, folks. PLEASE do not look to this man as a beacon for anything privacy-related, even when he says something true.

i’m just over here waiting for the federation to happen so i can spy on Threads stuff from the safety (and sanity) of my own mastodon instance ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i imagine it’s just very straightforward based on your app store region, because if you spoof that then you’re probably already breaking some ToS so you have no legal ground to stand on
