These electric supremacy idiots trying to erase our fan existence. Voltage this, RPM that, PALM LEAF FANS WE MUST PROTECT OUR HERITAGE.

the little girl makes the mix more weird than cute.

Isn’t that the point? I remember seeing a trailer during Summer Games fest (I think) and it gave me Little Sister vibes from Bioshock.

Have we considered that Australian police may have better trigger discipline than American ones?

Also, real talk: why are we armchair analyzing a shootout? Are we cooked?

As someone who didn’t like Max Payne as much as other others, I’m loving this new era of Remedy.

That being said, I’m waiting for them to integrate it into the AlanWakeControlQuantiumBreakiverse (or whatever we’re calling it) somehow through the remakes.

Wouldn’t ethernet still be internet access…?

So…4th in the Constructors and 5th+6th in the Driver’s Championships?

MY BOY’S BACK WITH A NEW ASHLEY LETS GOOOOOO

Honestly, I’m really happy when I see a different artstyle from the “UE5 3rd person view and everyone’s covered in vaseline” 90% of games now have. I will be checking this out.

I’m so hype for this! Returnal was one of my favourite pandemic era games I played, and really helped me get back into gaming as a hobby. Very excited to see what Housemarque have cooked up.

Casey Hudson was the original project lead of Kotor 1 and the entire first Mass Effect trilogy. I think that’s why a lot of people are hopeful about the direction of this new game.

I’m curious too. Original Sin/OS2 are really tight turn based strategy games (with D:OS2 being the best game Larian has ever made IMO (sorry BG3 fans)), but Divinity II was an ARPG, and I would not mind seeing a Larian with actual resources trying their hand at it again.

I know Lara has never been flat. But I honestly wouldn’t put it past the “Feminine characters are sexist and wrong” modern gaming land scape to fuck that up

This has not been a trend in gaming for years, if ever. This was just Twitter outrage you fell for. Stellar Blade was literally topping the Steam charts a few months ago.

Thank you Remedy for not Epic-jailing this like with Alan Wake 2! That game is such a masterpiece that more people need to play 😭

I think Legacy of Atlantis is actually a remake of the first Tomb Raider, so I think Crystal Dynamics wanted to be like “Don’t worry guys, you’re also getting a new one” at the same time.

No one mention the use of 5G and wifi in front of Elizabeth May and we should be ok.

You may be right. Disney sent a cease and desist to Google right before this “partnership” with OpenAI was announced. Seems like Disney wants to integrate and control AI using their IP on their own terms.

Some men should watch Heated Rivalry with their significant others. Great bonding experience.

Despite writing about dark topics - apocalyptic events, oppressed populations, the failures of heroes, etc. - he is missing the edge that you get from other authors who write similar stories.

You know what, I think you’re onto something here. I don’t need Scadrial/Cosmere to be the darkest and edgiest fantasy world ever, and a lot of fantasy readers read for escapism. But there is a certain friction you expect in the genre that just isn’t there for me in the first Mistborn trilogy, or the Stormlight books I read. Again, I can’t quantify it (and maybe I don’t have to), but the best example of my feeling is when I recall reading The Magician’s Nephew with my younger cousin around the same time that I started the Stormlight Archive, and man was I way more invested in Diggory and Polly’s reactions to the dystopias they were visiting than who/whatever was screwing with Kal again (free my boy from suffering, Sanderson).

8 people? Sounds like the perfect excuse to rent the penthouse. (Disclaimer: I’ve only seen penthouse hotel suites in movies)
