Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
One last thing about my friend and HZD (I haven't looked through Facebook in a while and I'm getting a lot at once): She hadn't come out as trans when the game was released, so her old name was included in the credits. Her post about her being in the credits didn't mention this, so it's not like she was complaining; she was excited to be part of an amazing game. Then, when the Frozen Wilds came out, Guerrilla updated the credits to reflect her new, real name. It's one of those "minimal effort to show we care" things that I like to see, like the Legend of Grimrock developers including the ability to move your characters by clicking on buttons instead of keyboard commands after a disabled gamer asked them about it. Or anytime a game comes with a few colorblind options.

I remember feeling the hype for this, it was such a loving waste of Warren Spector when those two games finally came out. And Disney has gotten incredibly grimdark RE: the post right below yours, they basically own everything and are a crippling monolithic nightmare on the film industry.

Did you buy it? There are some conflicting reports on it so I'd like to hear some first-hand impressions. Apparently the combat is good but the gameworld is barren and the game's buggy.

No, watching someone on Twitch play it. https://www.twitch.tv/catfu decided to hold off for now once I heard about how buggy it was.

The game seems to be doing well on Twitch, especially with European streamers. These days, Twitch viewership is more important than your metacritic score.

If it's any consolation, getting a job writing for AAA video games is akin to winning the lottery but with a tiny, tiny fraction of the pay.

Also, now that Skylanders is on the shelf Vi Vi are basically a farm for Destiny 2 overflow and from what I hear people there aren't super excited about it.

In the same way Kamiya hinted that Devil May Cry and Bayonetta are connected, so too are Skylanders and Star Control.

I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find anybody willing to say the de facto worst game in any series was actually the best.

Seriously, is there any other video game series that would require as many footnotes to explain the plot as kingdom hearts? Metal gear is the only other one that comes to mind. With kingdom hearts, if someone who doesn't know what the games are about asks about the story then you're gonna be stuck having to explain all of these different concepts. It's almost never anything simple like "sora wields the special legendary weapon known as the keyblade because of willpower and friendship," instead it's gotta be like "sora wields the keyblade because his heart naturally reached out and healed the broken and dying heart of another person who was trained to wield the keyblade so now sora can wield the keyblade thanks to his heart's connection to this other individual who is now chilling inside sora's body and also the keyblade isn't a special unique thing only a few can wield, it's just a weapon that pretty much everybody can get so it isn't even special that sora can wield one"

Anyone have that giant Kingdom Hearts flowchart?

I remember Dante having a "run up the wall, jump off, shoot guns on the way down" move but the fight arenas were so wide open you hardly had any chance to use it.

The main thing I remember about DMC2 is that the final boss (or a boss near the end, gently caress if I remember) is a giant circular blob thing split into parts and once you beat a part you can stand in the blank dead part and hit him from complete safety.

Also that the full game is on both discs because you can just swap them midgame and it'll work fine.
