The LIQUOR BOTTLES are out in full force.
MOM is surely nearby.
The movie Gamer is incredibly good if only for the amazing payoff of Michael C. Hall's marionette dance scene thing towards the end.

It's like when I sit a group of friends down to watch Lynch's Dune and I keep telling them to just keep holding on, because there's something at the end that makes it all worth it

But then when Alia intones "and how can this beeeeeee? for he IS the kwisatz haderach!" and I look around the room looking for emotional reaction and approval and I am met with nothing but dead faces and cold eyes

And I think, maybe we should have watched Gamer instead

Well, that's a thing

This sounds like me but with Ralph Bakshi's Wizards and also far more disbelief if the people around me don't appreciate the ending

those two takes are basically going to be the two primary takes moving forward, this is the game they released and "EA" just means in XX months you can also buy it without EA and a couple of patches that don't go anywhere towards addressing core issues. They're going to tweak numbers and poo poo but lol it's too late to rewrite the game and characters and level designs and systems

I always find divergences of opinion like this fascinating, since I found DS1's controls to be sluggish, awkward, and generally unresponsive, especially compared to modern titles with similar control schemes and gameplay (e.g. Code Vein). I wonder if it's a consequence of me having only played the PC port, or if there's a difference in how less engrossed I was in the world that also contributed to gamefeel satisfaction.

theyre deliberate. stuff like code vein doesnt carry any weight in its combat and there is less risk in each action. the main thing that put me off of code vein was the combat feeling so lifeless and weird. even the later souls games fall into making the combat less weighty, 3 being the worst offender where its barely the same combat because its a weird half way house between dark souls and bloodborne and fails at doing either well enough. bloodborne and sekiro adapt the combat to a faster style well by changing the entire pace of the game and the core mechanics.

yeah that's the trick to hooking into people's brain worms

so is putting in 900 collectibles and spreading your dungeon rooms out across a giant empty map to inflate the playtime to twice as long as normal. the difference is genshin has a weird astral chain-esque combat system thats actually fun

I mean, to be fair, CP2077 might also have serviceable-to-poor combat, rpg mechanics, and open world elements and require a patch because it controls like trash at launch.

yeah if you say anything negative about china on twitter your account gets destroyed. vtuber said the word taiwan on stream and is now banned in china and also you can't say her name in genshin either, another vtuber posts they had dinner with them and their mentions are full of people saying shes cancelled too now

the word lists come from the state at least though, i don't think you can say taiwan or kiryu coco in any chinese game

the thing i'm most apprehensive about is how the developer that made a 150-hour rpg where every single character down to the nameless townsfolk is white is going to handle a game set in an ethnically diverse city where gangs like the "animals" and "voodoo boys" have largely been represented by characters of color

I think its healthy to be a bit skeptical about this game. It's the biggest AAA title of the year with massive expectations. I want it to be extremely good, but I can see all sorts of ways the whole experience can end up being underwhelming.

I would be genuinely surprised if they didn't. In Dota2 a few years ago there was an SEA player who did a Chinese Racism and the loving mayor of the city where an upcoming tournament was happening called Valve to tell them to ban this guy from the tournament otherwise they were going to shut down the tournament. The party micromanages EVERYTHING

hello I am here and an IK. If it needs a full mod, Relax or DIE is the more active of the two right at the moment. our IKs are junior mods, not specific to threads, so I can probably help you though!
