remove voice chat and give people 3 emotes to work with, and then maybe sell a fourth emote as DLC, trust me, I am very smart.

wellp, this is gunna get C&Ded now, huh?

oh heck yea, I’m waiting for it to either be bundled or drop to like $5.

oh man, puzzle/horror/whatever games generally aren’t my thing, but hearing that Rutger Hauer does VO work for this game has me 100% sold.

I don’t think Splash Damage would support this considering they have another f2p shooter out with Dirty Bomb, but I guess I could be wrong?

I realize the Vita is more or less to dead to big publishers, but I would love this on Vita (or 3DS even).

you can play with cats!? game of the year confirmed already. just cancel every other game at this point.

I actually just started HL2 tonight, it’s pretty good so far (I’ve only gotten to the canal part, just encountered the manhacks) but yeah, HL1's narrative isn’t super strong, it’s good for a FPS from that era, but compared to other, non-FPS games from that same time, it’s not the best.

at this point, are they? Only the first 2 Half-Life games were really narrative focused. I haven’t played HL2 yet, but the first one’s story isn’t its strongest point. It was good for the time, but the bar wasn’t exactly high narrative wise in 1998.

Half-Life 3 will never happen, this is my hot (lukewarm) take.

that’s why everyone should go and pre-order Wolfenstein 2, get some of that pure old-school goodness.

I can’t believe I backed this game, I feel like an anime fan on prom night.

the eBay flipping is bad since so much of the stuff is unreasonably priced, and what sucks is smaller indie/retro game stores just try to price match with eBay :/

yup! LGR is what turned me onto checking out thrift stores for games!

I love hearing stories about this because they contrast so sharply with my thrift store experiences. I always manage to find just like...20 copies of Madden/NHL/whatever and then maybe like GTA3. I’ve watched videos of people finding $3 CIB copies of Wolfenstein 3d and stuff, and I’m just hopping into a Goodwill and…

for me it’s just force of habit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

EDIT: just realized this was a repost from 5 years ago and I pretty much made the same exact post 5 years ago as I just did o___0. Is kotaku more or less dead these days?

the only way this gets any better is if they somehow get involved in some sort of lawsuit and have to revoke everyone’s digital copies of the game and recall any physical versions. That’s the last awful thing this entire awful project can do now.

it’s not really a copy, at best, i’d say it was inspired by the album art, but the only similarities are the color tones and the smiley face, but there’s enough elements that are completely different.
