I’m also totally surprised by the negative feedback about the urgency of the story. It’s something every other RPG does. Meteor is coming, Reapers approaching, Wild Hunt is chasing the girl, blah blah blah! In comparison to other stories the chip thing feels harmless and obviously the supposed urgency won’t impact the…

Same. And I played it on a vanilla PS4. It did look kinda shitty whenever I drove too fast from one area to the next and I would lose the radio station sometimes in that same scenario but I did every side quest except one that got bugged. It was a huge upgrade when I did a second playthrough on my PS5 and I could very…

Who mainlines the story in a CDPR game? If Witcher 3 taught us anything, it’s that the meat is always in the side stories and extra content . I spent a good 50 hours before the parade mission doing every thing the game had to offer. And unless you’re using mods or grinding like a mad man, you won’t get V leveled and…

Oh boy, if only a complete reading of the article could have addressed your visible confusion

Nah, look at the boundary of the pit compared to the size of the spectators; that is very clearly too shallow. This would be obvious to someone who’s studied engineering, of course, but it certainly wouldn’t be considered unreasonable to someone in the entertainment industry, much less when held at such a high-profile…

A foam pit requires a pit and foam and this did not have enough of either

Also the end of that quest is pretty entertaining and it sounds like the author didn’t get to that point so...

Go full netrunner, you’ll never need to fire a gun. Hack a camera, hack enemies, waltz through like you own the place while scooping up loot.

If these cheating devices exist, I’d guess there would be videos on youtube showing them?

Fellow lifetime degen here: I find it odd how quickly people seem to be looking past Adelstein’s choice not to fold to the 10k. He’s far more experienced than her and yet tries to donk off his entire stack (well, her entire stack) into a relative noob who is presenting a believably noobish line.

explain to me how all in is the correct play for his hand. I get hes hand was 4-6 suited, with a possible flush draw, but at the end of the day, he was bluffing.

I think she just read him bang-on. Her explanation of “playing Adelstein, not the cards” makes a lot of sense to me; she somehow read he was nervous, saw the 10-9 was a possible straight, and reasoned that if he was nervous it was because he was hoping for straight cards rather than something to boost the…

Maybe its less that and more the way Tencent transforms companies into F2P dreg.

There’s a valid point that US institutions and corporations aren’t criticised enough, but brining them up when the topic at hand doesn’t involve them is just whataboutism.

Is there a /S there?

Not at all — but thanks for trying to push that narrative.

EPIC: “With Unreal Engine 5, game designers can finally build worlds and characters so highly detailed and photorealistic, the player will be left wondering where the game ends and the real world begins.”

Far Cry does not fit into that list, most of it is a corridor shooter

Damn. I feel like an idiot, I’ve just been using it to turn gifs and vids into animated wallpapers.

I think it’s a bit ironic to note that this techno-orientalism thing owes a lot to the popularity of Ghost in The Shell, which itself the product of Asian appropriation of western cyberpunk writings and aesthetics. If Stray was instead created by Asian developers, there would probably be straw rice paddy hats wearing…
