absolutely not. it was terrible. a few great visfx aside, it was such a let-down after that pretty amazing prologue sequence. 

...that’s where the Esports Fighting Tournaments come in.

what an unbelievable piece of shit

the paper bag test thing irks me—can’t wait for there to be so much representation and diversity and games that there’s room for bigots of every race, culture and creed. 

i don’t think you’re taking into consideration the effect of dramatic lower loading times on quality of life. you can now just drop into and out of games basically on the fly. 

...okay? still selling better than the ps4. 

the problem with the film is, incidentally, not that it takes itself too seriously, but that it was made by imbeciles.

i know i know. it’s not worth splitting hairs over, hahaha

hornet may not even be at 5% of the game...

i think we’re at a point as a community where we recognize that Sekiro is not Dark Souls — Sekiro is its own special form of pain. you want to say Sekiro is more difficult than Hollow Knight? hahaha.

47 has been aging backwards since Codename 47!

even graphically speaking the tweaks have been minor. the most dramatic change has been the added ability to hide in grass, introduced in Hitman 2 and then added to Hitman 1 after the fact. 

notably, the final two “extra missions” in Hitman 2 *do* feature full animation in their cutscenes—the bank and the island missions—so i do recommend checking them out. 

it will be fortnite with a halo paintjob.

witness is my crack. highly recommended. 

interesting stuff, but i far prefer the final script and performance. that voice actress is so distinctive, i hope she’ll be back to elden ring.
