The third season of Twin Peaks blows this out of the water.
The third season of Twin Peaks blows this out of the water.
Nah, you’re not alone. The Duffer Brothers do not trust their audience, beat them over the head in regards to plot reveals, use mainly one- and two-dimensional characters, and resort to subpar sitcom level humor. I did what I did with season 3: Fast-forwarded whenever dreadful characters or story threads popped up. It…
I agree. It’s similar in some ways to games like Life is Strange in how they combine slice of life stuff, small town conspiracies involving icky crimes and murder, and fantastical elements that heighten the emotional core. I played Night in the Woods twice, mainly to experience both friend paths, and really enjoyed…
Waifu pillow very sad.
I wish them luck and support, but I ultimately don’t care to watch an animated version of his work. As much as I enjoyed the film and tv versions, there’s something that’s more compelling about his stories when they’re in manga form. Part of it is in how we fill in the blanks with our imagination, what we bring to…
I wouldn’t be so sure about that:
That’s not what I said at all, enjoy your smugness, because that’s all you have.
You’re playing a lottery that could get you or others sick and possibly dead. You can downplay the dozens out of ten thousand all you want, but even if only a single person out of ten thousand dies, that’s unacceptable. Your take is cynical to say the least.
You’re not refuting what they said. You could get it from a work place, sure, but going to a large gathering increases those odds greatly. These are not equivalent situations. And maybe people should feel some shame if they partake in reckless behavior that’s slowing our recovery from high infection rates. I’ve had…
To honestly rank 2 so low surprises me, as it has some of the best writing, likable characters, a queer friendly romance option, a fleshed-out demon encounters with an insane number of outcomes [Check out the 100 ghost stories that can be told to demons, along with characters pairing up for unique negotiation…
And if that’s true, and the game and quests are compelling enough, it could mean great replay. However, if the quests are more akin to radiant busy work, and the writing isn’t compelling, it might mean a chore instead of fun. I’m willing to wait for informed reviews. No teaser or claims will mean much until the game…
Yeah, it just seemed to drag on, and wasn’t very rewarding to play.
Glad you enjoyed it, but for me after a certain point the game felt incredibly pretentious to me. I really enjoyed the first act, but as the game went on, it became so tedious. I do enjoy narrative games, grew up on Zork and point and clicks, but this game just rubbed me the wrong way. Though I am happy you and others…
That, or a map system to jump anywhere would have helped a lot.
Same here. As someone who has, and still sometimes deal with mental illness, it was like a balm for me. A similar thing happened when I player Life is Strange. I needed these cathartic games to better process things from my life, and in a way, they’ve helped me grow and further empathize with other people. I hope…
And that’s totally fine. Not every story will speak to you, and if you’re not getting anything out of it, then there’s no shame in moving on to art that does.
Which is not only a bad take, but a strange one, too. It’s clearly a pro queer and bisexual game, deals with mental illness, and repeats the need for unions in the face of corporations. How one could twist that into a Trumpian thing is beyond me. People are far too reactionary, and tend to read into things than take…
Happy to see Mundaun get mentioned here. It was such a quirky and atmospheric indie horror game. It’s not expensive and worth checking out.
Nah, he’s too humane.
History is full of unfinished works. It’s disappointing for sure, but hardly an offense worthy of harassment and even threats.
