I adored the organic nature of old galaxies.

Just being able to hang out in a cantina tipping the musicians and dancers for their nice buffs. Look outside and see the local rebellion fighting a street war with the Imperial players.
Good stuff.

I stopped going to AX as of last year (when they pulled a, we’re not going to respect COVID restrictions we announced the previous year, a month before the event. But then the backlash made them rescind it about a week before.) Changing written policy on such short notice makes AX seem like it’s eternal amateur hour.

…

When he sent an unsolicited manuscript with fake copyright on it and assumed that not responding back was like a passive admission of it having been read and went forward anyway.

I’m given flashbacks of how like home robber sovereign citizens work. Where they break into homes and change the locks after sending their…

Still hands down the best sense of what a “Lovecraftian” game can be. How I wish we could get something other than the annual “Blue Point is remastering it right?” rumors. 

At the risk of spoiling stuff I might say that the Green Knight is *mostly* faithful but also *subversive*.

It’s intended to be so but it can definitely generate sour moods among more Arthurian purists. 

Lol the random kid who snuck in with the ER team.

I remember liking Days Gone on first play, but I also remembered I never actually finished it because it kept going and going with the gameplay loop starting to become noticeably repeated.

Guess I can cross it off my list of ever coming back to it.

Yeah if any of the games needed a remake to be brought into line it was probably 1. Though I still have fond memories of the utter euro jank that was their released pre-patch version. Like Vesemir calling Triss “Babe.” All the time.

I’m curious about the Holy Roman Empire setting as that’s not really something you see that often in Western media and it changes quite a bit depending on exact time and location.

I think there might be a half bet for the 30 years war period? 

Proud to be in her district and vote for her, even post redrawing I’m still in her district.

I’m not entirely sure I’m in love with this style. (My personal preference being Monkey Island 3's look).

But if the writing is up to par. I’m game. 

I got the vibe that it was fine? Not bad like Book of Boba, but not great either?

And it’s a shame cause I desperately wanted it to be great, but it wasn’t. Ewan deserved a better script than what we got.

A morbing good time.

Sure trenches were used in WW2, trenches have been used since the 17th century. The aesthetics comparison is odd though to draw a helmet design comparison directly to WW2 trenches.

“The Kerberos helmet, which looks like the sort of thing a soldier would wear in the trenches of World War 2.”

The trenches of WW2? Everything is just sort of blending together huh? 

I’m curious if they’re going to keep the MI2 beard look the Telltale games left with.

Or the more clean shaven vibe of MI1, MI3 and 4 expanded upon.

*Laughs in the Golden Path version of this fight*

So I’ll admit, pre-release I was skeptical about whether Elden Ring would work because in my experience just because it’s open world doesn’t mean it’s better.

And I bounced off of Sekiero rather hard after adoring Bloodborne, and seeing what crazy graphical fidelity can do via a 3rd studio with Demon Souls Remake by…

It’s funny I feel like Benedict is one of the few I can usually consistently have him flip.

Since he really is purely about logic. So if you want to choose an option that doesn’t seem to be pragmatic from the initial surface, convincing him is just choosing the options that tell him why it’s actually a bigger boon than…

My favorite one so far.
