Just drop the trailer :/

I hate this whole “announce the announcement” thing that happens with video games these days.

Sometimes they even announce that they’re gonna announce an announcement…


I know what you mean about AW1, the sequel is different mechanically and much more refined.

You still make use of the flashlight, but now it’s a bit more developed and for the most part it feels like a modern horror game.

You get a lot of tense situations where people are running at you and you have to hold them off with the flashlight and weapons.

I can’t really put the differences in to words, but it is just much better imo.


I started with Alan Wake 2, then went back to Control.

Both really great, unique games, and Remedy are now up there with FromSoftware for my most anticipated games.

Control was absolutely great, but they really hit another level with AW2 imo.


Fair enough about RDR2 being in the right category, even though that’s still wrong 😆

I’m less willing to let TLOU and SIFU slide though, it’s “technically” correct but in reality it’s just stupid for these games to be in 2023 awards.

Remakes in particular boil my piss. They’re lazy, “play it safe” games instead of companies taking risks making new games, so I don’t think they should be eligible for awards imo.


Sifu, TLOU and RDR2 aren’t even from 2023 as well…

What a load of shite.


I generally avoid liking any companies or brands, but it’s difficult to not appreciate some of the things Valve does.

They do things for their own benefit, but it benefits everyone because they don’t try and lock things down quite like other companies.


Throwback to the hard cope when this game released, the fanboy dismissal of any criticism was insane. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/2eeb6a5d-008c-4223-9ac5-40b9dda115f5.jpeg
