prey is real good and so are both dishonored games (same studio), especially the second one.

prey : system shock :: dishonored : thief

too bad deus ex couldn't pull off the same

there's a new noclip doc on arkane if you're into that sort of thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4kdqwdbZZ8

they spend quite a chunk of time showing some of their canceled projects which is p rare, usually that sorta poo poo is on super duper NDA lockdown for eternity.

i was poking around with a vr headset and i clicked the "virtual desktop" button while playing a 4k netflix stream and it instantly blew up my computer. like a hard lock CPU crash with the DRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDR sound until i killed power to the machine.

well done to all programmers involved

this feels a lot like burning cds back in the days where if you tried to burn a cd and also start netscape during the process you'd toaster your cd 80% of the time.

some times computes just don't wanna do more than one thing at once.

sleepy dogs is a great game even though it’s obviously unfinished, it really feels like it nails the vibe of hk

Anyone recognise if these monsters are from a specific game or if they are original art..?



looks a lot like old apple II era Might and Magic art, but couldn't say definitively

how would you even solve those lovely shrine puzzles without gyro aiming, can you even manipulate the platforms and such with the analogue sticks?

i didn't realize there was a gyro control in the game at first and was like "wtf why are the controls so hosed up"

so I turned it off in settings and just play w/ a pro controller and it's honestly fine

i dont understand why people prefer asymmetrically placed analog sticks and buttons. ps controller remains the best because of this

I’m the exact opposite. I can’t stand the PS controller because of that goddamn stick placement. Xbox and pro switch controller are way more comfortable to hold

totk is dope so far but it feels very much like "so you wanted botw v2? well here it fuckin is". not that that's a bad thing (i did want)

i think the original intent a long time ago was that it was gonna be DLC but then they decided wait actually we added a shitload of new interesting systems to this game lets make it standalone

im not adding anything new to the convo but totk is really spectacular

why is no one freaking out that you can get a real life seamoth for only like 550k. that's reason enough to suck capitalism's dick.

it's stuck at the 100m depth ability but also you don't have to drink bladderfish every 30 mins to survive, so it's honestly not so bad

i mean there's free divers who have hit 100m+ and a person i am very close with is training to hit 100m on a rebreather where the science after 50m is basically "good luck!" do i think that is a good idea? gently caress no, but she is determined so

diving is expensive but it's not 550k expensive


game news i'm still trying to finish totk but get so distracted building stupid poo poo and crashing it i don't think i'll ever beat this game

I have no idea what a 'tree punching game' is. is it like the first few minutes of Minecraft?

survival games where you have to spend a gazillion hours doing dumb poo poo to get resources to makes things that might maybe be a fun game at some point

edit: i despise survival games if that's not clear
