To be fair, Uplay IS kind of trash and redeeming this is the first time I’ve booted it up in actual years. I’ve passed on the few Ubisoft games I did want (or just got them on console) over it.

He says it doesn’t bother him, but that’s face saving. You know when people who say stuff like that get dunked on, their seething deep down. No one likes being made the fool or a joke.

Punisher MAX and Hitman are the only Garth Ennis books I’ll go to bat for. Otherwise, his work is exactly what you say it is.

Oh yeah, I know. It’s just a bit of a pain to keep screwing with that. Doesn’t look like it’ll be a problem with the remake, either way.

I love System Shock more than I love most dead members of my family, but yeah, the HUD was huge and cumbersome in the first one. Plus, while it broke a lot of ground in a bunch of movement and camera look areas, today it really does feel a bit of a chore to make happen. That’s clearly not going to be an issue this…

Having followed the project since inception - and the only reason I didn’t back it in the first place is the Kickstarter came at a time cash was short - I can say it’s better this way. They were originally trying to do what you probably expected, a full re-imagining, but by their own admission they were getting too…

I care.

Are you kidding me? Every time I go on the store page, beyond the obvious sales and top promoted games it’s nothing BUT shovelware. You’re better off not even scrolling down.

Better late than never, I guess. Steams needed an overhaul for a while now. Not sure how I feel about this in particular, but it’s probably best to see it in action before making a full judgement. As long as I can keep the list of my categories and games on the left, which it seems you can so far, I’m not really upset…

The only reason Japan stopped occupying and invading is because they were forced to. They didn’t change out of the goodness of their hearts. Read up on Japan sometime. Their history is not pretty and arguably as bad as the Nazis. There’s a reason they try to pretend a lot of things never happened.

They probably would have done what they’d done regardless, especially given how worried the Axis were about America entering the war and, if I remember my history right, were planning to go after the US as soon as Britain fell. Japan just jumped the gun. Japanese history is rife with slaughter, especially of…

For some reason my brain read that as Intergalactic and conjured up images of these guys in bright orange construction jackets, doing the robot in a subway.

More like “way to skip paying us real money to actually play anything cool in this pit of a game” detected.

Sounds like Robert Kraft should have stuck to cheese.

If you saw those models up there and thought what they were doing was titillating or “fun”, more power to you - at some point, I feel like you might as well just look at porn - I guess, but the whole thing came across as just downright awkward. But even that wouldn’t be all that bad, because whatever, games have had…

“Stream canceled due to cringe.”

I don’t think they know what they want this series to be anymore. The way they’ve talked about this game before, it seems like they want the series to be taken a bit more seriously as a fighting game and not just the butt of jokes about jiggle physics. But they also clearly know the cheesecake is part of the appeal…

Yeah, I mean, the thing is, the cheesecake is at least part of its brand. Everyone knows what Dead or Alive is. But man, what? The women in damaged clothing jumping up and down to jiggle is bad enough, but maybe could have skated. The producer pausing to spend thirty seconds changing camera angles on an end frame of a…

Oh man, Dead Space. One and two are in my top ten best horror games ever made. The first one in particular really nailed the creeping dread of inching through dark hallways, knowing somethings waiting for you just ahead or even in the vents. Up until Alien: Isolation, it was actually my platonic ideal of what could…

I had kind of a middle ground years ago, where I would play scary games and could handle most of them, but occasionally would get spooked enough I freeze. It doesn’t happen so much anymore, but back then the only thing I could do that would work is take deep breathes for as long as I needed, then when I was calm…
