You are getting more insane with each additional comment. YOU (and literally no one else) are the person trying to equate the rules of chess to a RPG and real life. I don’t know why you are trying to get me to argue your own foolish points. You also fucking contradicted yourself when you look at your original post and…

Yeah. That’s how game mechanics work; there are rules that must work every time.

Ha! No worries! I felt like I was going crazy for a moment there. 

Hmm. I don’t think you and I played the same game. 

I’ve always been interested in tech demos like this, and it would be cool if more of these were made for public consumption. I remember seeing the old LucasArts videos about Digital Molecular Matter and REALLY wanting to be able to walk around a hallway throwing R2-D2s at plywood boards.

New Deus Ex would be amazing. Or Dishonored 3. Or Prey 2.

Breakdown blew me away when I was a kid. 

Counterargument: Being fans of a game they have never played before is no different than being a fan of a sports team before the season even starts.

And you can say these gamers very much ARE fans of things they HAVE played before. How about tabletop Cyberpunk? First person RPGs? Expansive RPGs? Open world games?…

I, too, equate videogames to real life.

Did you forget that their motto for the PS5 launch is literally “Play has no limits?”

Why does it bother me that they are calling this a “new mode” when the game is not even out? Did they forget that they keep delaying it? Did they forget we haven’t played it yet? “New mode” implies that there are “old modes,” -- which there aren’t.

There are a LOT of posts on Kotaku about that. This article even links to those last posts. How has the Kotaku staff been quiet?

There are plenty of PS4 games I am intrigued by. And, yes, Last of Us 2, God of War, and Uncharted 4 are up on my want-to-play list, and so is Bloodborne.

I loved the Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 games. Hell, I even loved Spider-Man: The Move: The Game. And I really like the comparison to the modern Batman games — I loved those, too! It still seems weird to me that a modern day superhero game is a console exclusive, but the game(s) certainly LOOK really polished. I…

That is probably true. Maybe if I experienced it when everyone else did — without all of the conversation about how new and amazing it is -- I’d feel a little bit different. But now, every time I played it, I kept saying to myself, “I’ve... I’ve played a bunch of games like this before.”

But does that make it a console seller? And, really, of the whole generation?

Am I missing something about Horizon Zero Dawn? Why are so many people so obsessed with this soon-to-be-a-series game? I picked it up (and Death Stranding) on PC a while back, and it feels like I have played a hundred games like it before. In all fairness, I have not beaten it yet, but I have unlocked A LOT of the map…

You’ve said this elsewhere, and I don’t know what bonkers calendar you are using. It’s three weeks. Twenty-one days. 

So... uhh... a standard, basic joke? I don't think a two-step process is patentable, friend. Lmao. The stretching you are doing.

I saw this “I’ve had people over to my house just to sit down and play the game, which is something I can’t remember happening since I got a Switch at launch” and was thinking to myself that THIS IS WHY WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH COVID.
