Hey. Surprise of the decade. If you ever wondered if the world's really going to end, here's proof that it will:

I don't even...

What the ****, it's an actual video?! I saw it on 1st of April and laughed it off, and didn't even bother watching it >_<

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Yeah, no, it's real. Split into several parts though, so maybe the joke will be that he'll release one part per year, for a decade. :p

Oh, also Sony won't do Bloodborne2, so Nintendo did. Ah, also exclusive to switch2.

 

It's a pvpve game, so whatever. Will never play it.

sadly combat still look terrible

I have 650 hours in the first game, and I only used auto-resolve. So if it'll be like that, I'm fine with it.

I would like to make clear something: I know that there are real life people out there who look approximately, in terms of real features and clothing/hair style, like the character depicted above, and other characters that you can see in official screenshots from this game. Somebody who looks like the totality of this character probably wouldn't draw a second thought from me in real life - I might not personally love their style, I might not find them particularly easy on the eyes or cute or beautiful or whatever, but that's a me problem, that's fine, I obviously understand that the appearances of characters and real life people in general should not and could not ever be specifically tailored to me. The specific issue is the "approximately" bit and how damned creepy it is seeing these horrible video game renders that somehow make them look so much weirder than they should, and it's why I always try to make sure to use the word "uncanny" instead of anything more pejorative like "ugly*". I searched for "inzoi characters" before I made my previous post and looked through a few pages of results, and I do not believe basically any person would be rendered well in this game's visual style - though there were some that seemed to be a little more and a little less bad than the others. All I can really say is...kill it with fire.

*Though any game where every character looks like they have lip gloss on is always going to be an automatic no from me dawg, because there might very well be nothing on a human face I like less than big wet shiny lips, but again, that's a me problem...and it's also not even necessarily specific to just female characters: I've happened across random Korean and Chinese games on Steam Discovery game queues where this affects even male characters, and it's why I knew Inzoi was likely to be either a Korean or Chinese game.

I've checked the Steam Community Hub for screenshots. There is some range of options, at least for the male characters.

Spoiler

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Then there is this:
?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

I kind of can recognise the actor, but the model still looks uncanny.

I appreciate 3D games where light reflects off the shiny scales of the human characters because then I know that THEY'RE SNAKE PEOPLE

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Handsome Squidward is the wrong colour, and has hair.

That is either the greatest or worst looking game ever.

Just like actors in real life, they're all reptilians. Game is a psy-op.

I'm guessing the more real-person (edit: or game chr) emulation avatars in that sim game are possible because of the AI help options. But not sure, don't quote me.

Also, I recognize (I think) who all those avatars are supposed to emulate, except - who the heck is that giant crooked butt-chin guy supposed to be? I'm assuming it's kind of a caricature, but I do not recognize at all.

That's an incomplete Handsome Squidward, as Zoraptor mentioned.

^ Ah, Spongebob, thanks. Heard of it, seen the yellow chr image. I don't think I've seen a single episode. 
Most popular/meme-like stuff/entertainment of that sort, from the early 90's into the 2000's, is probably like that for me. :lol:

Having watched SpongBob, Blues Clues, Teen Titans, Avatar, etc. with my daughter while she was growing up, they have a special place in my heart. 💘

Heh, after writing the previous and walking away, I realized maybe I should've added something like "since we never had kids/grandkids we weren't even exposed in that way." :)

I went from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood to Sesame Street/Electric Company, to Warner Brothers cartoons, to making fun of/shaking my head re: Barney, to thinking 15 or so episodes of Beavis and Butthead was actually pretty funny (stupid, but funny) but that was enough, to ... nothing. We did watch a couple of first/early seasons of Simpsons when it first aired (since it was prime time) I think but other than that I know nothing.
