I really wish there were a way to take in scenery like this in-game. When playing “Witcher III” and “Death Stranding,” I wish the camera allowed me to really take in the environment that they obviously designed with painstaking effort.

Ignore the above, looks like it’s just a difference between desktop and mobile.

Off-topic, but I went to see if this thread had blown up as it surely deserves to, only to see that the Kinja sites have removed the detail that lets you see how many comments each story has.

I generally agree but there is precedent for Otto basically being a good guy before the incident, as well as him still having a trace of his humanity deep inside.

Aw they couldn’t get Cuno’s VA back for the full performance? That’s gonna be a disappointing adjustment when I revisit this wonderful game.

Where did you get that Dent was driven by ego and vanity? He seemed genuinely passionate about rooting out crime, especially in the form of corrupt cops.

I distinctly recall that the real Bill and Ted both shout it at demons in the great Hell sequence, but I could be misremembering. I watched it at the start of 2020 and that was like ten years ago in pandemic time.

It absolutely is better than the first (still haven’t seen the third yet), and a deeply underrated film with some incredible sequences. But all that said, saying that it has “outdated bits of dialogue” really undersells how jarring it was to rewatch as an adult and hear the f-slur shouted at full volume by both…

Few moments in games filled me with such an indefinable combination of awe, beauty, and unsettling dread as when I approached the Amusement Park. The theme started simply, then layered more and more as I advanced to the happy, parading robots. Every time I went back there I would be struck with that same feeling…

“Anecdotally, it seems like there’s been a bit of a resurgence of Fallout: New Vegas in gaming at large.”

So your position is the low-stakes gaming equivalent of “I got mine, fuck you”?

I wish people would stop treating the movie as the “real” version of the story while referring to the book like an afterthought. I love the movie, but then I recently read the book and it’s SO much better. Hitchcock’s faithfulness to the book is far more limited than this review makes it sound. Key details are skimmed…

Sonic Mania 2, and more Sonic games in the style of Sonic Mania. 

Yeah but 2 also has Prince Sebastien, who is the biggest, most condescending, religious prick zealot in the series. At least as far as companions go. 

I would have expected the French to know a little something about class unrest and revolutions against the wealthy ruling classes. 

I find it amusing insofar as it fits my fond familiarity of the character, who is profane but unstable and rather mixed-up and not as mean and heartless as his appearance and behavior would indicate. The name of the DLC also invokes both “The Fantastic Voyage” and thus also the precious DLC “The Claptastic Voyage,”…

I don’t know what the hell you two are talking about. I’m soloing Krieg for the first time and he’s great, assuming you do like I did and spec him for explosions and Fight For Your Life. I’ve come back from the brink of death more times that I can count and I’ve blown up tons of shit in the process. He’s the polar…

Yes, it is, so long as you’re on its same wavelength to appreciate it. If you’re not, that’s fine, but that just means the game isn’t for you, not that it isn’t great.

I recently played “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice,” which clocked in at around 7-8 hours of gameplay, and it was one of the tightest, leanest, most satisfying games I’d ever played. I finished it when a sense of closure and satisfaction that I never get from bloated open world games which are fun to play until they…

Free media attention for... what? To draw attention to the little-known and under-reported fact that Trump is running for President?
