Haven't played LiS2, because the whole premise kinda turned me off all the time, so can't really say anything about it. IMO the big problem in the new games is that the writers looked at the statistics and saw that everyone goes for lesbian romance, so now the games are all about being gay. It's so horribly preachy about it, honestly, if I would know any of the characters in real life, I'd probably avoid them at all costs, because they are so obnoxious. And what makes me the most angry about this whole thing is that pointing it out makes me feel like a bigot. I don't care about gay stuff, I don't care if people are in a same-sex relationship, if I play their games I also run into into the same-sex romances and have no problem with it, hell I even welcome it being a theme in games... But Deck Nine doesn't treat it as if it's normal, they treat it as if it's a hip lifestyle. It's so damn in-your-face with it, it's horrid writing. Just compare it to FNV, which took these elements as completely normal and didn't make a fuss about it at all. That's how it needs to be done. Now why do I write such big walls of text about it instead of just ignoring it and moving on? Because I want to like the games. It's the kind of stuff I want to play, but with good writing... and they haven't delivered good writing since Before the Storm (and even that was already a bit borderline). Big sad.

A great day for mice!

Makes me wonder how it feels like to stand in a place like that and just seeing wide, flat, absolutely nothing like in that photo above. Really can't imagine that, because no matter where in germany you are, a place like that simply doesn't exist. There is always a house or wind turbine or the autobahn or something else civilization.

I finally got around to play the Life is Strange 3 bonus chapter "Wavelengths". It is ... ok. Nice idea. Bit preachy at times, often cringe writing like LiS3. I hate how they shove the "gay stuff" into the players face. It's never shown as something normal, it's always this huge special thing that everyone makes a big deal about. I get it, you are gay. I already understood it in the last game. Jeez. Don't know.. feels like Deck Nine is moving the franchise into the wrong direction. I liked the more down to earth kind of thing in LiS1. It had the right mix of hipster and fantastical murder mystery about it. Now it's just ... I have no idea. Not it, I guess. The actual story of Wavelengths is ok and I'd say well executed, considering this is basically just a short and cheap DLC. Can't expect huge things with such updates. Same deal as the Before the Storm bonus chapter was. People who complained about it make me roll my eyes. That said, turns out I really seem to hate the Alex character.

Online component usually can be completely ignored, and the game saves on exit.

I heard people were raging about it more than the original ending.

My issue with Goliath is that it is a great premise, but they somehow ... didn't use anything at all. This guy is supposed to be a lawyer and wasn't that supposed to be a lawyer show? For that there is incredibly little lawyering. First season was still good and interesting, second was very.. eh... third was a little bit ok again, but still bleh. And the fourth ... I just stopped. Not sure if I will finish it at some point. Kinda sucks, because Goliath could have been the equivalent of Bosch, but they just weren't able to do it right.

Considering at the time they had nothing but concept art, I don't believe it affected stuff like game mechanics and whatnot. That said, I still think having less edgy fantasy armor made the game better.

Then why do the jab at "twitter outrage" when none of the other posts around here had anything to do with twitter right now? Clearly you seem to be projecting.

It was less stupid.

Funny thing is, you look like the professional outrager here.

That's not a codpiece, that's just riding pants over his normal pants. If you seriously believe they did the pants like that to make you look at his bulge then lol.

Haven't seen this in a video game yet. But let me answer that troll-question anyways. The reason why boobplate is not ok is because the bulge guides the sword to the center of the torso. If you are wearing armor like that, you get more likely impaled, from a blow that otherwise might have been deflected.

Well, the boobplate was stupid, and removing it made the game better.

Looks to me like the pr company did a good job of making everyone aware of that game.

Noooooooooooooo.

Oh wow, I completely missed that there was a trailer for Stone Ocean. And I just learned it will release on Netflix next damn month. Great news.

I wonder if Obsidian can write a game like Disco Elysium without it feeling formulaic.

What's funny is that the art style kept reminding me of Dishonored all the time. Kinda made me want to see Dishonored turned into a show like that.

Just watched the first 3 episodes of that LoL / Arcane show on Netflix. As someone who knows nothing about LoL, it's pretty good so far. Definitively will continue with it.

The Witcher season 2 trailer music is so bad. Who the hell thought that rap music fits to the Witcher? Really hope they don't have Jaskier rap later on ...

Waiting for the release of Skyrim on my tesla powered brain memory implant.

Shut up and go back to the kitchen or something, idk

I like it up until the ending, then it somehow drops the ball.
