Damnit, for a while now I have that idea of making a chill solarpunk style game and now suddenly all of those titles release which kinda dip into exactly the same atmosphere...

Maybe. Only issue is that whenever this happens, a crapton of people die in the process.

The difference is that, imo, right now it is far worse in the US than anywhere else since there's so many elements effectively working against democracy, while in Europe it's still "just" a few political parties. And as cheesy as it sounds, I think the US is still far more important to be in line. At the end of the day, the US has a ripple effect on other countries. Our people just imitate what you guys are doing. Basically, if the US goes to ****, we will follow.

Media is so biased against Biden it's not even funny anymore. He speaks a wrong word and everyone loses their ****, Trump rambles complete nonsense for half an hour and everyone is ok with it. People are so damn dumb.

That Gothic 1 Remake demo was so incredibly bad. If you know about the Half-Life 2 Cinematic Mod, the changes in the G1 remake felt like it got inspired by that. Wouldn't hold my breath about that new studio either. From what I've read the past few days, those people were pretty much the reason why later PB titles kinda sucked. No clue how much truth is in that ofc, but well... their latest titles weren't that great.

"Founder | CEO | Chief Creative Officer at Hinterland " Ooof, Hinterland, who made The Long Dark? They are the last to throw stones on that theme.

Isekais are at least as bad as superhero multiverse storylines. I'm so sick of video games in anime. Can they do something new?

Last game I've played from them was Risen 2 and it was... ok-ish at best. So I guess this development was inevitable. They lost their edge years ago.

tbh sounds like skill issue It really wasn't that hard?

Jeez I just saw that Phantom Liberty slander. The addon is amazing and I'd say in total I like it more than the main game. Good quests, good verticality in the level design, interesting characters, nice visuals. The criticized linear sequences are just the intro chapter, after that you're in the usual open world and can do whatever.

Playing any Souls game without a gamepad is just madness.

Dolemite Is My Name was just crazy. That movie brought his name back on my radar instantly. Hadn't thought of him in like a million years before that.

One thing that turns me off a little bit is maybe(?) the art style again. Same situation as with Outer Worlds, something about it just feels off to me. Somehow there is a really high contrast between the colors? Kinda hope it's just the screenshots I've seen so far.

Just pay him money and it's a done deal. This guy is not for the US, but for Trump and Trump only. Let's be real, he would sell out everyone around him in a heartbeat as long as he gets something out of it.

Watched it as well. Thought it was okish, but probably will never see again. Then again, was never that big on the Beverly Hills Cop movies anyways.

Have you heard about literally anything he says? Additionally, there is that funny Project 2025 making its rounds right now.

Where are those smart people who can explain to me how Donald Trump is actually not a threat and everything will be just fine if he gets elected.

Watched Furiosa a 2nd time. Still good. This movie is 2 1/2 hours long, but somehow time just flows away. This time I noticed the bad CGI a little more. Sad, but still not the worst I've seen. Real shame that movies aren't getting updated like games... would be nice to have the worst scenes improved some..

Gameplay is crap, enemy mobs around every corner. Bethsoft thinks you have ADHD and need attention every 20 seconds or you might get bored and quit. Worldmap is typical Bethsoft theme park with a new attraction around every corner. Story is complete garbage, actually all dialog is garbage. Three Dawg can shut the hell up. Consistency of the gameworld doesn't exist - what do people eat? Why are there raiders and dead bodies everywhere? Why do we need Super Mutants on the east coast? Why did we need to rehash the Enclave that was wiped out in Fo2? Why bring back the BoS again and make them shining knights? Why bring Harold to the other side of the continent just to turn him into a tree? This is ****ing bull****. Also lots of bugs - last time I tried it for lolz, I've played for 30 minutes. Then I've reached Megaton and the game kept crashing, so I just gave up. Man, I can keep going forever, but it has been talked to death for years now and I'm just tired. So my tl;dr is ... it's a bad game.

Fo3 is garbage, sorry but it's fact. Everyone who disagrees is either too young to know better or has no taste. Even if you remove the "Fallout" from the name and see it as a generic post apocalyptic game, it's mediocre at best, still bad in many areas.

From now on I won't be sleeping anymore. I'll be "cleaning my brain."

Watched Furiosa. Pretty good. The CGI felt a lot worse in the trailer. Guess they just happened to pick the most CGI-y scenes they could find for it. Loved that the one guy looked like Max. Basically implying there are more Max-like characters in the world.

Well, those branching story paths in those games are usually always fake for the most of it. The effects they have on the actual gameplay almost always is marignal or just not existent. Pick your path, and then you'll later get either a letter, a mail, or a phone message in good or bad variation. At best you'll meet that character again for 10 seconds and that's it. Not really blaming the developers that much, since we know that those story permutations quickly get super expensive... but still... it's starting to get very formulaic and lazy, imo. /Edit: I was surprised to see actual tiddies in LiS2, though. Shame they didn't had the balls to also show some... balls, heh.

Ah damn, true. It was Deck Nine. But whatever, I guess. Still more gameplay than LiS2 had. I'm seriously kinda angry right now about the game. Took me 18 hours of which Probably at least 10 or more was spend on looking at slow cutscenes, while the rest was just wandering around, trying to find the next hotspot. The remaining hours was me having the game paused in the main menu, because I needed a break for a while. They have this whole mechanic of the brother being able to use telekinesis and it is barely outside of a few scripted sequences. The few emotional touching moments weren't enough to weight this up. Thank god I had nothing better to do.

Just finished Life is Strange 2. It was... ok. Ending was fine, but by god is this game slow. Jesus Christ, can you make it even slower, I'm not sure. Worst is, you can't even skip cutscenes, which turns a replay into a huge pain in the arse. Wouldn't mind to check out some alternative paths, but not like this. Most of the time you'll sit around and watch long winded cutscenes with characters that speak too slow. Rest of the time you will be trapped in a small space and interact with hot spots that shower you in toxic positivity. Note to the writers: Not everything has to be cool and awesome. It's ok to not like things. Some characters are nice. It's cool to see The mother was... just so pointless. I wonder how so many people could be nice to her. I really didn't care and feel like she deserved nothing. Some of the writing is really awkward. It's like they had to make everything somehow wholesome... it really shouldn't be. Now I wonder if all their other games are this slow as well. LiS1 had A LOT more and interesting gameplay going on than whatever was going on here. Guess I'll be rooting for Dontnod now to deliver a better next game. True Colors was cringe as hell, but at least it had a lot more fun gameplay.
