They should try playing Disco Elysium.

Fwiw I searched as much as I could (within reason) and only found the “women dying in the year after abortion” mentioned on an anti-abortion site, with no links to the supposed original study, no peer review, no methodology etc. So it sounds like total horseshit of course.

I do love that the game makes it easy to respec, I might have to try that if I get bored with my move set. For now though I love doing the blood (?? forget the name) ashes of war with my katana

lol

Let’s see the source on that absolutely wild claim about women being more likely to die in the year after having an abortion.

This is why I picked the samurai build and have simply been upgrading my uchigatana - much more straightforward and far less fussing around in esoteric menus!

Finally, FINALLY! I see Racer Revenge on one of these lists and not the far inferior Episode I Racer. Bravo. Now get your crap together and add Jedi Starfighter to the list! (yes it blows away its predecessor too)

Plus it’s weird in general recommending Dark Forces and not Jedi Knight or Outcast. JK was my favorite game ever for awhile there as a kid.

Seriously, they managed to one-up the original Deus Ex in several crucial ways and brought its gameplay to the modern era with great graphics and story and then left us hanging because, I’m guessing, corporate thought a cliffhanger would somehow drive sales of a sequel better than just having a great, complete game. I…

I wondered in recent years if SE was doing a kind of “Hollywood math” with these game releases that apparently underperformed. Were they counting them as losses because of insurance, taxes, and other sleights of hand that would in fact enrich them even more when they claim that the game undersold, like Hollywood does…

good to know, thanks!

I finally used one once on Radahn and it was like my 25th time and I did end up beating him that time. but now I’m afraid to use more in case I fuck up, or I don’t know how many I’ll get later

Good for them.

Only two PS5 games I’ve played that could really use this are GotG and Elden Ring. really hoping for a patch for the later, because it was ROUGH going from Horizon 2's locked 60fps to Elden.

I thought they were mild fun at best until I had a kid, and now I love the Lego games. Perfect couch co-op experience, especially if you’re playing with inexperienced gamers like kids - easy to grasp the controls, simple puzzles that take both players to solve, constant rewards, plus franchises they already love like…

I’ve just got to say how weird it is seeing the title written properly, instead of “Rouge One” as I’ve seen literally everyone call it over the past few years.

All it is, at least as facebook et al envision it, is.. facebook but with more shopping and in VR. Just another ad dollar mediated platform where every interaction is poised to become a transaction. Picture an online game that’s all microtransactions and no gameplay. They keep selling it to us like it’s “inevitable”…

Social media / streaming / youtube / all of this shit was a big mistake lol

It’s more than that. the best games give you an experience that cannot be replicated in other mediums because the gameplay - and the choices you make as player - are integral to the narrative and vice versa. The better the storytelling in a game, the less chance it’ll translate into a satisfying movie. I just wish…

The long, complex, puzzle-filled “diorama” levels, with gameplay related to many scenes from the movies, are no more.
