...But they have to use one of the genders in the trailers? Besides I think I’d get this complaint more when it came to Odyssey as there the gender was a locked thing while in Valhalla you can switch it up midgame. Actually the gender thing would perhaps be one of my complaints in Valhalla as considering the setting I…

There are mods for VR Alien Isolation online!

Why do they keep making Alien games that aren’t Alien: Isolation?

I’m always amazed that as a British person it feels like I've actually read and understood the constitution far more than a lot of the Americans that hide behind it.

Hahahahahahaha.

Most publishers are virulently transphobic and rant about it openly?  Interesting.

“If you could read minds, you wouldn't game at all" wow so insightful

Before the MAGA cult starts whining about the First Amendment:

Yeah, I’m no expert and I’ll be first to admit it. I’m sure that to the well-informed it’s naturally easier to grok, but that’s just it—why would I want to go through all the effort of figuring it out (why should I HAVE to, as in, why should there be effort required at all?) when every time I take a look it seems like…

For sure, I don’t mean to say that’s a universal experience, but the vibe I got—mostly due to the obfuscated pricing model (actual DLC, but it has different editions, then a season pass even though there’s an MTX store, then you can preorder to get extra content or exotics, and an anniversary thing—it just kept…

Disappointed it’s still 5 reds for a pattern, but it sort of seems like red frames are dropping more frequently? Might be placebo.

Yeah, missed it scrolling past all the ads 

“Had" being the proper tense.  I still haven't forgiven them for the needless Geomag Stabilizers nerf.  

“At least on PlayStation, you have to have PlayStation Plus in order to have the PS4/PS5 download game updates in rest mode.”

Eh, I burnt out on day 1.

Yeah; I haven’t played the game yet, but it sounds like the article is describing a mission or side quest, not the bulk of the gameplay.

It doesn’t change into anything, it’s been advertised as a scifi adventure game from the start. Literally everything mentioned in this article was shown clearly in trailers.

I wouldn’t write it off based on this one review. Every other one I’ve read has been pretty overwhelmingly positive. Kotaku has become notorious for writing negative, condescending, clickbait titles since the scandal a few years back and subsequent staff changes. I only come to scan headlines and see if I’ve missed…

How the fuck are you people able to be cynical even about a game like this? For fuck’s sake.

The “shooting” part, which admittedly isn’t the strongest point, ends up being such a small percentage of the game it seems weird to focus on it at all.
