Oner

If it's not on Epic, then I would love to have Village.

New month is up.

So I'm trudging along in Dying Light 2, having fun. Then STORY happens and I'm caught at crossbow-point and have to make a timed choice how to negotiate the situation: -We could help each other.. or -Try me! Turns out this is a secret faction choice. 5 minutes after the game already gave you an obvious faction choice but apparently that one didn't count. And I won't even go into how dumb said faction choice panned out. Did I mention the game uses only one save and it saves after this cutscene?

I'm not the one immediately assuming it's a SkillUp reference. 😛 But yes.

Up-to-snuff, not snuff on sale. 😛

https://itch.io/jam/vtm Paradox held a Vampire Jam, where people were invited to develop short games set in the VtM setting. The top 3 are a Disco Elysium inspired RPG, a strategy game and a visual novel and should become available on Steam for free at some point. Not sure if you can grab the others too or not.

GAMERS! The list, it is up-to-date, -snuff and all the other good things.

Apparently Sarda means sardinian in Italian, so his name is extra great. xD

Regarding Train to Busan: Overall I do like the movie a lot. I think it has a sequel too, but haven't seen that one.

HARDCORE

I'm on the first few episodes, so far I'm liking it too, though bitten people claiming they're fine wore out in decade old movies already. As far as I'm aware the bullying does get like that unfortunately. Faculty ignoring it for the sake of maintaining prestige, video blackmail, high suicide rates, etc. I just saw it's based on a webcomic, so that might be worth a read too.

Actually Steam got banned from China a few weeks ago, to my knowledge?

Yeah I read an article today that made it sound like Be'lakor might be the final boss.

I'm still a little salty that Phoenix Point and Metro Exodus got their rightful dissing for the last minute EGS switcheroo but Outer Wilds got a free pass because it's zomg amazing. Played through Days Gone last week, it was a fun ride - pun intended. Mechanically it's open world TLoU with bikes and hordes. The OW busywork wasn't as bad as in other games so that's nice. Enjoyed the plot, cinematography was great and they mocapped the crap out of the actors. Been watching a friend of mine stream Resident Evil 2 Remake and ended up reinstalling RE3R yesterday because I never ended up finishing it.

I'm flip-flopping on whether I should get 3 or not. I played the crap out of 2 and ... I've had my fill. To the point where it all feels too samey.

Isn't it more unreasonable to attribute a gameplay mechanic's unpopularity to the writers? 😛 The threat of getting shafted with a game over hanging over your head as soon as you start the game can be daunting for people and rightly so. Yeah, the 150 days in FO1 were generous. Except you wouldn't know that until you played enough to learn this. And other games were more or less forgiving with their timers or lied about there being a time limit in the first place, etc. There isn't even a standard you can use as a reference to gauge how tight your deadline is. Other folks just don't want to stress over these kind of mechanics when daily life is already stressful enough.

Gotta agree, you might be laying badly but you're still laying.

Man, now I miss that time a bunch of us co-op'd Dungeon Siege 3.

I am looking forward to it but I'll wait for reviews.

Sounds like Battletech but with a worse story.

Sounds like I won't buy MW5 ever, thanks folks. 😆
