One of my least favorite things when I played the original HZD was the use of fake lightning to emphasize the characters. With this remaster, they've bumped that up to eleven. I know a bunch of games use the technique, but a lot of them do so with more subtlety. The Horizon games make it look like your character is in front of a green screen and I truly loathe it.

@nessisonett You're out of your mind if you think it looks worse.

They ought to have just called it Nothing Is Forever. Way better title in my opinion.

I hope it let's me teabag batman.

A neat game with absolutely no soul

Back on Deathloop, though I should be playing Lies of P.

Probably gonna be a better show than the first party focused ones tbh

A much-deserved honor.

Hell nah, stealing it on Switch to see if it plays better on Yuzu than Xenia.

@Ralizah I am dead lmao

D'aww it's okay, we've never had any reason to have faith in you Daedalic.

They ought to go back to botching indie games.

Only thing that grabbed me was Alan Wake 2, which looks gorgeous, but I'm worried just won't be fun.

The Spidey trailer made me less interested/hopeful. Lots of on-rail segments shown off. Uninspired designs and art direction and, am I crazy, or was that a pretty noticeable graphical downgrade?

Marathon's trailer was stylish, but I know nothing of the franchise and am not much of a Bungie follower. I'll keep an eye on it though.

As long as we don't see ***** like "Final Fantasy: Ascension" or any other cliché subtitle that every game franchise uses at some point.

Bored the hell outta me, personally. Super repetitive and unrewarding. Don't understand the love for this one.

Lotta news today about devs with no integrity, huh?

He ain't wrong.

She wasn't born.

Lol, whyyyy. I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum, but I think they already did that with the existence of this game.

Please please PLEASE, don't try to change crucial things to make amends to the rabid death-threat fans.

PS5 is already last gen? Damn.

Then he's clearly a poor writer.

Is it me, or are his arms comically long?

"the vista depicted in the title card looks far more like Canada or Northern California. Considering that The Last of Us was reportedly shot in Calgary, it's probably safe to assume that the frame in question depicts the latter."

Former.

*****. That's why I recognized her name...

If Elden Ring didn't exist, this would be my GOTY easy. It still might be, just not easy.

Haha yikes. It looks like a PS3 game with a half-baked rtx update.

You jerks. Made me think Crisis Core Reunion was out this weekend...

Anywho, might be doing my first playthrough of Parasite Eve for PS1. Also maybe my first real go at Bloodborne.

Thought it'd be some Ghost of Tsushima, which I finally nabbed on sale, but turns out people majorly overhyped that game and it's all sorts of boring and repetitive.

Tunic was robbed.

I feel like there ought to be laws against peripherals costing more than the unit they run on, but I cannot imagine regulating anything like that is feasible.

Kojima's such a hack.

@Mauzuri Well that's ridiculous.

Cool. Never understood why people get so bothered by fictional dogs dying. It's arguably more upsetting to see it struggling in the trap anyway.

An old skin and quite possibly her worst. Cool promotion, Blizzard.

Ecch, why the gloss? Keep gloss away from controllers.

That's a house.
Or was, rather.

Ugh, I miss loot boxes. Never thought I'd say that.

I've been seeing this game explode, even among my friends who don't typically post about gaming, and I can't tell if it's a legitimately good game or streamer bait.

In terms of gameplay, is there anything that those who've played it would compare it to?

No reason it can't be both.

Oh christ, this again. Not sure why game news sites are reporting on this as if a) it's new information, and b) it means anything. They told us this back when OW2 was announced.

This is effectively no different than any other Overwatch update that made changes to PvP. The PvP portion was always going to replace OW1. That's the point. That's what makes them "able to play together simultaneously". Calling it Overwatch 2 just allows for more significant changes and the addition of PvE.

Looks super unfun.

Still really ugly from an art direction standpoint.

Cool. Can't wait to pirate this game I bought twice on PC.

What a crazy thing to patch in. Good on them.

Spidey on PC is all I needed, so I'm happy.

"one of greatest video game designers of all time"

I think they set that bar a little too low.

Hope they lean harder into the Metroidvania elements. Though something tells me they won't.

Yuck, to all of it.

Seems like the right choice. I'm pretty excited for this game, but the latest trailer looks pretty rough compared to earlier ones.
