Are you planning to skip AC1, play 2 and then get a couple hours into 3 before giving up entirely?

Creativity Production

The evolution of game design has basically been dead for a few years now, so shouldn’t the process just get cheaper?

Thought it said Outer Wilds 2 for a split second and got excited.

Your memory?

They’re great biscuits.

How come they do reveals but not announces?

Tatu were pretty good.

Someone needs to do a mod where your armour is tissue thin and there are waves of fibre optic drones coming down at you.

Sekiro did it pretty well (almost as a rhythm action game), but in everything else it’s a bit shit. Usually you have to press a button within a particular timing window, except the actual timing can either be incredibly obscure (necessitating trial-and-error) or insultingly transparent and generous (i.e. the Assassin’s Creed model).

There’s a video on YouTube called “Doom The Dark Ages Story Explained” but it’s a Doom game.

Using company email for anything other than work purposes has always been a terrible idea.

They should do a Last Of Us prequel with Joel, but he dies in that one too due to time travel shenanigans.

But they’re made in China?

It’s funny how detailed the graphics are and then the keypad of the till is just a flat texture.

Head Over Heels. Somehow I eventually managed to complete it, after much trial and error.

Like tears in the rain.

Why is the game a sequencer?

Maybe they fed some Marathon assets into Claude and asked it to build a generic cooperative loot shooter, or whatever they think is cool this year.

We’ve put our “top men” on the pricing strategy.

We don’t need journalists anymore, because CoD and Assassins Creed are the same game every year and Silksong is never coming out.

With every piece of news it feels like Nintendo are back on the WiiU/GameCube part of the cycle.

Was wondering about this but I figured Japanese consoles probably have components from China and Taiwan and are finished in Japan, so maybe US tariffs won’t affect the price at all?

Struggling to think of games influenced by Shenmue.

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.
