Things are only real if they’re happening in America.

True, though both of those industries also use a hype cycle to try and shift new content at much higher prices, though every book and CD that ever existed is probably in a second-hand shop somewhere.

New games have very little offer me, apart from higher specs I’d have to upgrade for. Just played through Prey and the two Dishonoreds, and they’re good but still just revamps of System Shock 2 and Thief, so I don’t regret not paying them at the time. The really groundbreaking games nowadays tend to be indie anyway.

Just wait. It’ll be the same as the last one with a slightly different city.

I will play each of these for five minutes.

FIFA, for pioneering the idea you can release the same game every year with minor cosmetic tweaks.

Did they hire Peter Molyneux?

Yeah, I just finished it and felt the same. I got low chaos pretty easily, but by replaying sections rather than by actually being able to react to situations on the fly. If you end up in a one-on-one with a guard your only non-lethal recourse is the combat sleep dart, whereas Solid Snake or Sam Fisher always have some kind of CQC takedown option to defuse the situation before more guards are alerted. You end up freezing time and running away a lot, or just save scumming.

RIP Docker.

Remember in part 2 you can dive into prone from running.

As in The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3?

When they say “trillions of new planets” they mean one new biome with the plants and rocks in a trillion different places.

It took quite a while in Dark Souls 3 before I conceded that I should actually level up my VIT so the Abyss Watchers didn’t just one-shot me every time.

TBF all of the fans of the first eight Unknown games bought and loved this one too.

Nice of them to share this on the Nazi forum first.

It’d be Legacy Of Kain. And combat would likely be just as repetitive.

Major small-dick energy from these guys.

I don’t see how stating the blindingly obvious makes him “epic”.

I always play Doom Eternal offline so I don’t have to sign into some bullshit account I don’t want.

How do I find out if my Mastodon server is federated with Threads?

Dishonoured, Uncharted Collection

Kinda exposes the lie about entrepreneurship being about job creation. Not all high tides raise all ships.

Short sections where you play as a teenage white girl = not politics Entire game playing as white woman = politics

Blatant attempt to cash-in on his celebrity status.

They should crunch because they want great abs.

Still too much.

They should wait to see when the next Horizon game is coming out and not release then.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Wait… if corps are people, have they now got anorexia?

This reminds me it’s nearly time to get my next second-hand PS4 game.

Wait, I thought that was just a remake of Prey. System Shock 2 is one of my favourite games of all time.

I expect he meant “systemic”.

You can be arrested just for saying you’re a gamer.

Well, there’s no reason why the DM couldn’t hold the character sheets and you only perceive that your character is good at certain things from your choices and their outcome in the scenario (but you could be wildly wrong). In real life you don’t know exactly how many charisma points you have.

Obsession with character sheets comes from the misapprehension that the R in RPG stands for “roll” and not “role” imo.

Videogames have always had AI. The baddies don’t just drop down one row and come back across the screen anymore.

The pinky is smaller and less flexible, but it’s like piano and you just have to move your hand a bit to use them effectively.

Does it still have the Pizza music?

Reviews of some indie games were bought, it was asserted, because the games involved just wandering round a location investigating things (i.e. the diary notes in Resident Evil and System Shock) and didn’t even let you collect experience points like a proper masculine game.

I’m not dead I just always look like this.
