*Alien Resurrection. Alien Isolation is a recent title.

The two biggest complaints in the review seem pretty avoidable to me. The first is that they exploited a bug in combat and then were mad when that broke a quest.

Second is that they said that scaling was odd, with one computer (thickly entrenched 40k nerds are already mad with the use of the word computer instead of cogitator) in an area was an easy skill check to use and one in the adjacent area was difficult to use. That doesn’t seem like a red flag to me, or at least, it doesn’t seem like that in isolation.

So my take away is that some things will be mathematically harder than other things, and don’t purposefully exploit bugs. I don’t think this review has deterred me from buying.

Oh boy! The game we should have had at launch? I can’t wait to get in my space ship, take off from a planet, fly to a new one, and land without being forced to fast travel.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Kongregate is still operational, much less had enough employees to announce layoffs.

Ooh I will be checking that out tonight. I could never get the whole package of “trap edge in kiosk mode for xcloud” working.

The 3ds remake had MGS4 controls including third person shooting. I was surprised to see both crouch walking and first person “classic” aiming.

This is visually impressive but with what they’re showing in gameplay, it doesn’t look much like 4 or 5 like I think I expected? The aiming looks like it’s the 2 and 3 style of stop, hold aim, move gun. That said, it also showed crouch walking which isn’t in 3. I’m curious how similar or different it plays.

My big points to hit for a remake would be an improved camo and surgery system. The original game has you pressing start a lot. Like a lot. Having a quick menu for camo would be gigantic. Surgery right now is mostly, you’re in a boss fight and got hit, now pause and see if you ran out of bandages yet.

The refund window on the upgrade cost is shorter than most people would probably like to see, but it’s pretty reasonable since it does stretch back like six months from the CS2 release.

Still, doesn’t solve that there are some number of CS:GO players who have been cut from the game overnight. Cutting support for DX9 and 32-bit systems was overdue, but it’s still unfortunate.

The Internet will also tell you 80% is shit.

The implementation is through The Magic Mirror, which is the same thing Divinity: Original Sin 2, their previous game used. So probably less inspired by Starfield.

My partner and I left the apple ecosystem about a year ago. We got new phones and gave our old watches, airtags, and airpods to friends and family that wanted them. It felt like it was going to be too much to give up, but honestly it’s been great.

There’s so much more freedom in every facet of the phone. Apple likes to give an option, a rich people option, and occasionally a truly professional tier. Leaving Apple behind, I have wireless earbuds I love that have an 8hr lifespan out of the dock. They were fifty dollars and they sound easily better than airpods. It felt like it would be expensive to leave, but the alternatives once you leave the ecosystem tend to be cheaper pound for pound.

And some pretty well known recent indie games have been made in Godot, like Cassette Beasts.

Be careful what you wish for. We all really wanted Kingdom Hearts 3

Disney has been involved with video games since the late 80s. Recently they were involved with Disney Dreamlight Valley and the new Illusion Island.

I know that Mugen is just a word, but to me and a lot of other people, Mugen is the build your fighting game engine with a constant twitch stream that has Goku fighting and losing to Tetris brick.

It looks interesting, but I don’t like that they’re saying it’s going to be a new game. I don’t want to spend another $40 on what amounts to a new game mode. Fundamentally different new game mode, but new game mode.

Well think of the ROI for horse armor. One new model. How many sales do you need before you cover that cost?

jmcrofts is a legend. You can catch him on the front row of major tournaments with a bottle of Malört.

Having grown up in Oklahoma, it does feature a lot of recognizable places. Strangely one of the most identifiable places in the trailer is a huge gas station on the highway that’s about halfway between Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

This started as a joke project but looks increasingly like a full release with a lot of characters, tracks, and a sort of story mode/boss rush? More content than a lot of PS1-era racers.
