Celan Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 People seem to call it dull and shallow yet also enjoyable, somehow. This was an interesting comment from the Fallout 4 subreddit. To me, after years and years of playing Bethesda games, I think I realized that I wanted them to evolve a little. This is a 20 year old game reskinned. It's a loading screen generator, it's an empty rock with a single alien on it. The polish they put on all the items can't make up for the lack of anything else. Exploration consists of finding the same spot over and over again. Every time I go off path, I run into duplicate areas. This is the laziest procedural generation I have ever come across. Like, can't you have someone run their hands over each POI, you have a billion dollars and a million employees. What are you even spending your time on? BG3, I turned off the subtitles so that I would stop reading them and just listenSF, I right-click the mouse as fast as I can to avoid the painful dialogue Hit about 25 hours last night and decided to call it quits. Cyberpunk is looking like a masterpiece to me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda unfortunate, really. You know how much I like map nodes, but the poor reception to them being used here means we can probably expect them not to return in any future Beth titles. Their philosophy tends to be to just ditch unpopular features instead of improving them. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celan Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The only reason I heard about that movie was from Nerdrotic panning it, which no doubt was more entertaining than the movie itself. Even liberal papers admit that Disney ruined Pixar. This summer "Elemental" had the worst opening in Pixar history. My man Steve Jobs is ranting from his grave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they were barely able to "save" it's sales through word of mouth, the movie became profitable. The fact it only reached it barely is still abyssmal for Pixar. On much better news, they showed off the keyart/poster for Eggers Nosferatu I can't wait. They filmed it in black and white just like just like the Lighthouse, but what alot of people don't know is the OG Nosferatu used color tilting over it; so I wonder what the filter choice is going to be for the remake. There's a...passionate debate on whether the movie is better with the tinting or straight black and white, but I like the former more. Very unique atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering that it’s recently come out that Disney are getting sued for lying about their box office earnings and underreporting filmmaking costs, I’d be hesitant to even believe them about that. They’re desperately trying to maintain the image of success. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 This is out in a couple of days; it's been years since it was announced. I've rarely seen smoother gunplay and I really like the aesthetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fucking came out of nowhere; the final nail on the coffin of how pathetic barbarians (and Stormcloaks) are, us Roman fans have a boomer shooter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 They also added Ada's Grapple system from Resident Evil 6. In the OG Seperate ways, you could only use it for scripted "go to the new part of the map" but they've incorporated into letting Ada segway into melee and chain attacks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m kinda overwhelmed with games to play right now, and right in the middle of harvest season so less time than normal to play them.

The Remake is really good. Gameplay is smooth as butter while nailing most everything I loved about the original. 10 minutes ago, Elden Clown said: Wait Doc, do you have a farm or something?

I looked up the name real quick, was El Gigante and yep that's him. Look forward to that. Hell this game caused me to have the fear of being chased growing up because the damn chainsaw guys. This is gonna be great to play again lol. 3 minutes ago, The Good Doctor said: Not at the moment. Well assuming you are working towards one, best of luck.
