God I wish things had turned out differently.

This is typical of basically any website. Horrific for sure but very very common. Which makes me think this lawsuit has been brought forward by people with a bone to pick.

Ehhh I dunno, the gameplay has been truly shocking online. The single player stuff is decent for sure but the input lag is unfathomable and there’s so so many deflections landing in the opponent’s lap.

The problem isn’t the PC ports, it’s the games they’re porting.

The funny thing is that Wikipedia picks up on this stuff almost instantly and then your IP’s banned. And yet we were told constantly growing up never to use Wikipedia for research in school. Now we have AI if you want laughable disinformation.

Cannot imagine paying full bob for this. Possibly the most creatively bankrupt project in video game history.

The problem is that the games are increasingly less ambitious. It’s all the exact same gameplay loops from the PS3, no matter how many grass particles there are.

@Flobbots I don’t know any other Kylie than the original and best! To be honest, for Beat Sabre then the best would probably be Shocked, has a great beat on it.

Wow that reminds of another feel good story in which a submarine visiting the Titanic was controlled with a Logitech controller!

@IamJT @DennisReynolds It’s the curse of anti-woke, you spend so long chasing shadows that eventually you realise you’ve been casting it yourself.

@LavenderShroud I dunno if you know anything about development but it’s incredibly difficult to tweak anything to do with a mechanic as universal as stealth without messing up everything else. It makes sense to me why they’re doing it in bits, but this is generally what pre-release is for.

@MBalz_EsHari Think he’d be waiting for the Atreus nude mod.

It does seem deeply ironic that there’s far far more faux-kiddy content that’s actually horror based than actual stuff for kids. No wonder they watch Cocomelon sh*te, there’s zero safe spaces for them out there. They’re doing the same with those rubbish Winnie the Pooh horror movies too, subversion of kid content is so overdone.

If sacking 800 odd staff took your billion dollar company from financially unsound to financially stable, that shows that you’re a sh*t CEO.

Thought that guy was wearing a Portugal strip.

Not for me but I know some people love Far Cry’s co-op. As long as it doesn’t tie it to trophies, that’s the only reason I don’t have Black Flag and Far Cry 4’s platinums!

@Ralizah It’s the twisty turny camera angle that makes it so good for me, it’s super disconcerting in a way that can only be done with tank controls and a fixed camera. As much as I like to be able to move in games normally, they made the most of the tank controls that I don’t think has been matched within modern horror games outside of maybe The Evil Within? And that game’s a very fun car crash.

WHERE’S THE KYLIE PACK

@Ralizah Is that the alleyway you go into at the start of Silent Hill 1? I played that on my Vita for the first time with headphones on and it gripped me with just how genuinely terrifying that first scare was.

It’s soooo good. Proper love letter to the genre.

Never really liked these sorts of things, if you raise your kid right then there’s no need for strict hardline limits. They did the same with TV back in the day, the more you ration it out to your kids rather than it being freely available, the more they see it as a luxury that they’re missing out on. My mum let me and my siblings drink in the house from the age of like 14, none of us drink much at all in adulthood.

I have no idea what a commercial art style looks like. Will everything look like Fortnite, the future of gaming?

Fortnite is the future of gaming says Tim Fortnite.

@Ralizah It’s just an issue with the camera in these modern games in general. Fixed camera angles were designed that way for a reason, I think Resident Evil 2’s remake is the closest I’ve seen to recapturing that within a third person engine, just due to the tightness of the corridors in the police station.

I do think they’ve improved the graphics since that initial trailer. It just misses the certain special sauce graphically that made the PS2 games so oppressive. Possibly due to framing too, camera work is less intentional these days when it comes to cutscenes! Part of that applies to movies as well though, you push digital high-end cameras while not being as creative in terms of cinematography and everything starts to look the same.

@Gunnerzaurus Nobody complained at the time when Ezio was the protagonist of a game set in the Ottoman Empire during one of the most interesting periods in the history of the Arab world. There was no reason for him to be the protagonist in a game set there, they fit the story around him. Whereas Yasuke has a historical basis for being in Japan and it’s one of the easiest ways to explain why Japan, a country with closed borders, would be introduced to the Assassins. I’d assume that his enslavers will be the Templars, possibly Portuguese Jesuits, as they were attempting to control the Shogunate for trade reasons in reality. There’s a million reasons why Yasuke has been chosen but there is a clear thematic and historical basis for it compared to Ezio being in Istanbul during Revelations.

Technically it’ll be Lorne Balfe and a ghostwriter.

It’s a crutch. Optimisation is dead.

It’s certainly a game. With a dreadful title.

@Gunnerzaurus The Japanese government are literally about to install yet another far right prime minister. Nippon Kaigi have a stranglehold on the Diet and any ‘official positions’ of the Japanese government are mired in ethnosupremacy and bloody war crime denial. If we take all of the Japanese government’s ‘issues’ into account then the Rape of Nanking would disappear into thin air. Point is, Japanese people have a range of views (as previous depictions of Yasuke haven’t generated controversy) and we really shouldn’t point to their government as a representative of the people’s general viewpoint.

Nothing is cosier than live service. Technically being bundled up in layers of cotton and silk while being milked dry is the cosiest situation of all.

It looks pretty good actually. Love the focus on the actual mob aspect of it, I do enjoy the more hardboiled elements of the story.

@yazzika It’s the best skating game I think I’ve ever played. That and Skate 3. The challenge system is just such a great innovation. I still haven’t gotten the platinum because it takes ages to get to level 100 and I’m perfectly ok with that, I can dip in when I want.

I’m not sure this is on my console yet, same as the whole welcome tab thing isn’t on mine. But it’s not exactly controversial to say that the PS5 UI is dreadful. The PS4’s choppy ass menu is just better to navigate and they segregate the adverts.

I’m so up for anything THPS related. Still think asking for a 3+4 remake is bizarre given the two games play completely differently, possibly people didn’t play the games at the time. 3 as DLC for 1+2, 4 as a separate remake.

@Ralizah Sony are the new Apple. Everything is now ‘premium’ minus the build quality.

@naruball To be fair, you say that but the Macbeth movie we got shown in school literally did just that. Genuinely good movie in parts, a good adaptation but yeah, Polanski is a f**king nonce.

The last thing the industry needs is more video gamey projects. I love Kojima’s work but I can’t imagine sitting through a show of his cutscenes, the gameplay melding with the narrative is the interesting part of what he does for me.

@vrubayka It may seem extreme but well, Boeing had hitmen. Corpos have their ways.

Add one more to the pile.

Tbf look what happened to the Denuvo cracker, they literally went AWOL.

@IamJT That’s fine. The point was more that thinking the Pro isn’t worth the money doesn’t line up with people who donate to these things.

@Enuo I dunno, the sort of people who’d buy a Pro are absolutely the sort of people who’d give money to these idiots. Money to burn after all, if you’re concerned about the financial implications of the Pro then you’re bound to be less likely to dump money on a random Kickstarter.

@Jefferson280 Creating an account just to have a very public meltdown is incredible. Off you pop.

@Jefferson280 Technically you’re advocating for censorship by whining about the erasure of male/female because I’m assuming that means that you don’t want any trans representation in gaming. Which is censorship.

The absolutely hilarious part is that he points to the religious right in America, which is absolutely where censorship comes from even today. But there’ll probably still be whining about the ‘woke’.

Bleh, 7 out of 10. That Syphon Filter one annoyed me, picked the one that I instantly twigged was the Getaway sequel instead.

Literally my idea of hell.

I stopped playing it to be honest. Actually enjoyed the first season, zero stakes and just pure shooty fun. But the content didn’t really arrive in time.
