That’s kind of part of the point. That’s how the game starts out, but as you build up infrastructure (literally with the help of other human players that you’ll never actually interact with, thank god), traveling gets faster and easier. Until you’re driving delivery trucks down massive highways, and traveling over mountains on zip-line networks.

And that progress parallels the story in some ways.

Sekiro was the first one to hook me. Outstanding game.

Rimworld

Are you suggesting Ghost of Yotei is a “slop game”?

Then I look forward to playing more… Street Fighter 1 and 2 are pretty much completely different genres though, so I dunno. Seemed more like SF2 vs. SF3 or something.

Only played two incomplete runs so far, but am I crazy to think that the game is nearly identical to the first game? It’s the same game!

Man that seems like a lot of work lol

Decided to pick up Requiem after seeing all of the praise, and the game is gorgeous. Won’t make a judgement on story yet, but the game itself looks so nice.

Lorne’s Lore

SMT monster (demon) design makes the rest of them seem like they were drawn by children.

I’ll take Sekiro 2

Don’t even need to remake or remaster. Just make it 60fps, and so many people would buy it again.

I’ll never understand why Sony leaves so much money on the table re Bloodborne

I enjoyed Persona 5, but looking back on it… It’s pretty fucking shallow.

Not even just types of games, but two different games entirely. I’ll try to avoid spoilers (never got to the end of Rebirth yet anyway so I dunno), but the game makes it clear by the time you reach the Shinra building, that this is not the same story that was told in the original game.

They even went as far as to personify this fact in case people were too dense to grasp it.

Ellie and Dina in The Last of Us 2 maybe?

I probably wouldn’t disagree that it’s not exactly ethical, but given the current state of society, it’s kind of at the bottom of a very large list of really really awful, unethical, shit that actually deserves my attention.

Legendary ratio.

Oh you’re using the comma as a decimal point… Still pretty good.

Also, personally, I prefer buying characters for relatively cheap rather than having the usual f2p predatory crap. They should obviously be free for training tho.

As someone who has been playing fighting games on and off since 1995, the idea that non-dlc characters are “f2p predatory crap” is wild to me.

Guilty Gear Strive is a really fucking good fighting game

Yo… I never even thought about that, but it could definitely work

They’re definitely not shit.

Only an hour or so, but seems pretty good. Seems deceptively deep

Hmmm… Check the date of my comment. It’s from 10 months ago lol

I mean, it’s in the word… I don’t want to think about the thing at all, let alone try to understand it.

Ok… And I assume you know what “and/or” means? Understanding and contextualizing is not escapism.

And coping with isn’t necessarily escapism either.

Art isn’t just escapism. Or, it doesn’t need to be, at least.

Sometimes it’s a way to help us understand, contextualize, and/or cope with our own reality.

Nah I’m good.

I mean… Good

And? Who fucking cares?

What is this referring to specifically? Have they been bricking consoles?

managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees

Is this not the case for any industry?

Him, I’m not sure how someone is a good or bad person for having money.

You can’t become a billionaire ethically. It’s impossible.

I think it’s because people often say Gabe is “one of the good ones (billionaires)”, and they saw the original comment as implying that

Check protondb.com

Care to elaborate?

Oh man, you got jabaited

Good on him, but I wonder if he would be doing this had the game been a success

Kind of funny since I literally just replied to another commenter who was complaining that the rolls were too random

That’s why I did it too, but let’s be fair, dice are supposed to be random.

With D:OS not being tied to strict D&D rules can def help that.

Famously, Stanley Kubrick used classical music as a temporary track for 2001: A Space Odyssey, and intended on having Pink Floyd do the soundtrack. However, he grew to like how the classical music felt so much that he decided to keep it.
