I liked the first one better. I guess I was just looking for the rogue-like fix of “failing forward” on subsequent runs, but the gameplay loop is much wider on the second one and that didn’t quite satisfy me the same way.

I love how they changed library sharing, too, so group members are only accessing individual games rather than entire libraries.

Maybe I’m just crazy, but I hated all of the characters!

I wouldn’t feel bad about asking here rather than googling it yourself. I like the engagement, personally.

What’s with the voiceover?

Yay, another remaster.

I take it you’re not excited for the game. If they could deliver on all of their promises, do you think that you could find some part of it to like?

I think being on Lemmy is part of the issue. The Venn diagram of people who left Reddit for Lemmy and the people who support pie in the sky games like SC doesn’t have a whole lot of overlap in the middle, I wouldn’t think.

Anyway, any particular gameplay loop you’re excited for?

I thought of that, but I don’t think I’m the best fit for that kind of time investment.

Is there a Lemmy community for people who don’t just shit on the game? Tired of just hearing about how it’s a scam. Does anybody play this and enjoy it?

I’ve got a bat. It may take a few tries, and you might forget some other things, but you get what you pay for.

How do you see this change impacting the overall experience? When you say that the single player mentality is ruining MMOs, what features or gameplay decisions are you picturing?

Seconded, I first heard about this game from his channel.

GoG Galaxy is pretty decent for that

The hate comes from gated software exclusives and a dogshit service platform. Does China have something to do with Epic? Whatever it is, they’re not making Epic any better.

That was good, thanks. Dude was like, “Why did you make me read your comment!?” Lol

Yep, don’t care, I’m up voting anyway. This game is well done. I loved Gunpoint, I loved Heat Signature, and I’ve been really enjoying this one. Writing, gameplay, graphics… I’m a fan, for sure. The whole Defenestration Trilogy is worth it.

Great review, random person on the internet!

The Spider-Man games come close, but that first Arkham game was just so well done

Do you think your age when you played it has anything to do with disliking it? It was leaps beyond anything else available at the time, and I was young and impressionable, so even for its faults it was amazing.

Dude, seeing the 3 other horsemen come down at the end of the first game had me so fucking hyped

Hell, Fable flashback!
