The vibe is very intentionally and consciously Souls-y in the trailer, so I think it’s fair to make the connection.

Well there’s obviously the inevitable:

Foalframe: Breeding horses to get the #1 racehorse; and perhaps the #1 companion

Goalframe: Futuristic socccer...that’s too easy
Coalframe: Coal mining back in the 19th Century, also having to protect coal shipments from being stolen by other players

and also agreed to never seek employment with law enforcement in the future

I don’t think it’s really that complex. I imagine it went down something like:

Nintendo owns it. They bought it, and largely pay for the series. Technically, they share publishing rights with Sega I believe, but that really only matters for Bayonetta 1.

The anal pear, like most of the more extreme “medieval” torture methods, was probably a hoax. Another example is the iron maiden -- the oldest known examples are from the 19th century, built for exhibitions.

*Attending the Alabama-Auburn “Iron Bowl” football game in late November with 80% of the attendees drunk as hell, and knowing there’s going to be a massive brawl before you can reach the exits. You don’t see everything on TV, you know.

What a holiday!

You sound like boring people. Please stay far away from the rest of us

Meanwhile, the DOJ and other institutional authorities don’t need to concern themselves with what his supporters like. They need to concern themselves with the law.

Item 2: He dies in a place with zero atmosphere (Either in space or Arizona).

I got the game when it first came out on PS4 but avoided playing it after all the technical issues came to light. I finally got a PS5 last month and jumped in, man I’m glad I waited, the game is a blast, I love the world, and so far I haven’t had any major issues with bugs (one crash in 30+ hours and occasionally…

Somewhat off topic, but the game runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck, even the GOG version, which requires a third party launcher to run and likely isn’t as optimized as the native Steam version.

Given that it drops you off before the ending when you save, I expect this will be more of a Hearts of Stone kinda thing and takes place mid-game. Then you just need one, “you’re being pretty quiet, Johnny” like and a hand wave.

DLC THE FANS WANT

Yep, same here. Time and time again people drench themselves in prerelease media and end up disappointed, in some cases with prominent figureheads getting raked over the coals for it. (Todd Howard, Peter Molyneux, Sean Murray, et al.) So I’ve long learned to ignore that bullshit and just wait for the game, and reviews…

I was also avoiding 2077 hype, and just generally disbelieving the hype I did see, and indeed telling people that hyping it is not going to end well (just call me Cassandra!), and likewise, I really enjoyed 2077. It’s imperfect, but it’s imperfect in a very similar way to Skyrim or Oblivion and FO:NV, which makes it…

I think this game was an absolute triumph and I haven’t stopped coming back to it as my Single Player game of choice. I’ve had 100% on a couple saves for a while, but it doesn’t seem to be enough for me. I didn’t follow any of the hype, so it just seemed like a really cool Cyberpunk game that ran well on my PC. I…
