What are you Playing Now? - Right Now at the moment edition
Lexx replied to melkathi's topic in Computer and Console
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. -

Finally decided to give Life is Strange 2 a go. Bought it back in the days but then never played it, because somehow lost the motivation. Finished episode 1 now. All in all it was better than I expected, but IMO a bit too slow, with really long cutscenes. It's like, if I am breaking down the gameplay segments from the cutscenes, there's really only very little content. You're basically just walking around interacting with hotspots, then pick up some stuff and let's go to the next cutscene. The first game felt a lot more balanced in that area. Also I now remember all the people crying about the game being woke or whatever, because it features a racist character who is very clearly a trumper-type. Didn't felt too off to me. What was a little more weird was the savior dude who was into nudism. That was a bit... not sure what to make of it. Started episode 2 now. Will see how it continues. -
The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
Lexx replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
Isn't this exactly the same they said with the last season? Feels like I'm having a deja vu. -
This crap again? It'll take a month and russians will be shooting at Ukraine once more. Waste of time.

Couldn't even make it through the first episode of the grimm variations. It's just... nah.

Lexx replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
Watched the first 2 Ahsoka episodes and then just stopped. Never looked back. It's really funny to me that Andor of all the shows is the one that ended up being good. Like... this random guy nobody gave a damn about in that one movie from how many years ago gets his own show because whatever... and it is actually good?? What are the odds. Even that Obi-Wan show wasn't great. -
Sounds like anime, alright.

Looks like it all worked out fine this time. Hope we'll see an actual secure landing next time.
-
Damn, earlier than I thought. Let's hope it'll work out.

God I have such high hopes, but I probably shouldn't.

It's just whenever I see people write about the Venom movies, they seem to be quite disliked. I get that some parts of them are a little meh and probably could be better, but at the end of the day, I didn't fell asleep while watching them, so it's at least better than Wonder Woman and... some other super hero movies which I can't remember right now, because I slept through them.
