2014, the year of mediocre early access survival games.

I think it's hauntingly beautiful in a way. Really loved TLoU's vision of the apocalypse, it's perhaps the most authentic and close to reality as you could get. Ultimately all humans will be dust one day. It's not so much a question of if the world will end up like this but when.

Take that, Tumblr.

He's being fed lines through an earpiece. Illoomenatty.

No you're right I suppose that's me grasping at straws. But for me, they've been a let down for years. Especially when it comes to spinoffs of old titles.

The problem is supply and demand. People with less than analytical minds see the newest shiniest triple A iteration of a franchise they liked one or two games in and they HAVE TO HAVE THE NEWEST ONE. Because, EVERYONE IS DOING IT SO I BETTER TOO. Final Fantasy, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, to name a few. Meanwhile…

My only complaint? Preset characters like TF2. Obviously there's going to be plenty of customization knowing Blizzard but creating my own character from scratch would be preferable than picking a cookie cutter.

The pieces do look good though. Hopefully it all flows together nicely at release. I'll definitely be checking out both.

So correct me if I'm wrong but this game is a bit like Saints Row meets Jet Set Radio or something like that? Seems kind of cool if a bit lacking in substance.

I was the exact same with Hwoarang in the Tekken series. I wrecked everyone with that motherfucker. He made me actually take up TKD until I made it to my red belt.

So can you play offline, one shot the strongest boss in the game, log on with your new legendary yadayada? If so, yeah that's blatant cheating and people doing so should be insta banned forever.

*notices cowboy bebop display photo, nods approvingly* Yes, I feel a kinship with you my nerdy brother.

When you put it like that it doesn't sound that bad. Dreamcast <3

Different. The one in the link is a collector's edition version which isn't tournament legal. The one in the video is the alpha edition which is the rarest. Hold your wallets lol.

Those were the days.

Been saying this since daaaay one.

The looming threat of being laid off while trying to get assigned to a new project.

If you ask me, and I know you don't, they're going the wrong way with the survival sim aspect. If that's really how the game plays, it would be great except seeing +shivering +freezing +flu or whatever pop up completely destroys the immersion that's so flawlessly cast upon you by the hypnotic journey you seem to take…

Okay, biggest complaint, probably going to be one of my only since the game is what it is, you get what you expect, mostly.

Admittedly, I know nothing about the intricacies of game design, but come on. They're telling me it would be impossible and or unfeasible to switch party members while AI takes over the last member. All they say is "It would be too difficult." What would? So incredibly vague.
