I grabbed the game and am enjoying the hell out of it, it’s just more Far Cry, but if you like Far Cry there you go.

“We didn’t patent the Among Us mechanics,” tweeted co-founder Marcus Bromander at the time. “I don’t think that leads to a healthy game industry.”

Huh. Is it bad that I thought “At least it wasn’t another pedophile?”

New and interesting games are all well and good, but you can barely give someone a primer on a campaign world and expect them pay attention to it. These worlds maintain such a high population of players because you only need a basic passing knowledge of what generic fantasy is, and you can roll up a character.

One of us, One of us, welcome aboard the wonderful, heart pounding, tear jerking, shouting into the air with joy world of One Piece. I too see One Piece as a modern masterpiece up there with the greatest manga stories ever told and Eiichiro Oda as a legend among mangakas. This is a series that I have loved for over 15…

This is going to draw a lot of “THIS is what they chose to fix?” type comments, but in all honesty, the things that people want fixed in this game, like police with the capability to pursue you, are entire missing engine functions that will likely not be added until far in the future, if ever.

I had a lot of fun with CP2077 on PC, but the glitches and nihilistic/depressing endings eventually turned me against the game.

Exactly! It’s a crapsack world where everything has failed, there are no ‘good guys’, only shades of grey (which fits in beautifully with the muted color pallet of the fantastic artwork, which is often literally shades of grey). The only possible hope of redemption doesn’t come by human agency but supernatural powers.

It’s a dumb series built around shooting nameless enemies, hunting animals for their skins, taking down forts, and blowing shit up. Personally, I really don’t need it to be more than that. 

The beautiful thing about Disco Elysium, is also what lead a lot of people to come down on it hard— it portrays a rich range of political leanings from the perspective of their failures.

Video games are a scapegoat for low productivity and workforce engagement among young people by economists, because honestly the more likely options, that they are instead struggling with depression, can’t get a job, or can keep themselves afloat without needing a job thanks to the bank of Mom and Dad, are hard to fit…

First, good God, well written.

This game gets rave reviews, has a deep and intricate plot, and features broken characters in a broken world. It seems like my dream game. And yet, I’ve struggled so hard with it. I’ve already started and stopped playing three times, and refuse to give up on it. I even refused to read the spoiler section of this…

Did they also disable shooting?

Obviously it’d be more work for them, but they should do one of their plot videos where another western-themed character kills him and takes his move-set.

I suggest Looty McLootcrate

Kojima and Death Stranding fanboy here. And if I wanted a plot that made sense, I wouldn’t be playing a Kojima game. 

truly some of the worst voice acting/writing i’ve heard in a while, i hope they don’t change it a bit

My expensive double-jumping cyberlegs haven’t unlocked any worthwhile new areas. The weapons, character enhancements, and leveling system are all good on their own, but they feel like they would be better used in a game with a longer story, more nuanced combat, or a different difficulty curve.
