TheCzarsHussar Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 3 minutes ago, The Good Doctor said: @TheCzarsHussar Have you played Dishonored? If not, you should. It’s another series with an incredibly rich world (it is almost suspicious how well developed it is just in the first game alone) that is unique and memorable. Plus, most people here have played it, so there’s plenty of conversations to be had. I actually have never played dishonored, I heard that 1 was better than 2 (or was it the other way around?) I'll check to see its price and how many gigs itll take up on steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I was reading more about the Metro author; he basically wrote the general plot line and dialogue for Last Light and Exodus (he incorporated alot of aspects from it for his book continuity too which came after Last Light), and actually has other foreign writers (ranging from Italian and French ones) write books set in the Metro Universe to expand it in there region/culture, and considers them all canon. Pretty smart actually He has a steady hand on the book continuity, and he gets to work on the game's continuity too. Rather then being upset by the popularity, he just gets to have control over the games to a high degree AND draws in a crowd to read his books. "Without the gaming franchise, the Witcher series would never get this crazy international readership that it has. And it’s not just about the gamers but the gaming press and the buzz it creates, and just the feeling of something great and massive and impressive coming out. This got people hooked. He would remain a local Eastern European phenomenon without this, but he would never break into the West. And the same goes for my Metro books." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. The story DLCs are basically a two part MQ that runs tangential to the base game. Playing them is not necessary to understand the base game’s plot, but they add some new context to things happening behind the scenes and heavily flesh out one of the main antagonists. 45 minutes ago, TheCzarsHussar said: I actually have never played dishonored, I heard that 1 was better than 2 (or was it the other way around?) Pretty much what Balrog said. 2 isn’t bad by any stretch, but 1 is better. I will say this, though, 2 has a couple of the most uniquely designed levels I have ever played in a video game.

The Good Doctor Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Microsoft dissolved Zenimax’s board of directors. This could be a good thing, as it’s the boards who tend to push for devs to simplify everything to appeal to a mass audience. Just gotta hope Microsoft doesn’t replace them with a similar beast. https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/zenimax-board-of-directors-dissolved-after-xboxs-bethesda-purchase/1100-6488918/ 1 It's always nice when your writing gets reinforced by the canon after you come up with it.

It was a whole new character who found the Batwoman suit. This time it is an actual recast because the new girl is playing the original Batwoman character. I’ve very upset they couldn’t get Ruby Rose to reprise the role. Her terrible acting was half the fun of season 1. I’m worried this new girl will ruin the fun. 1 It's always nice when your writing gets reinforced by the canon after you come up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-2-remake-actors-reprise-roles-in-netflix-anime-series I just heard about this now. And this even better news; https://variety.com/2021/film/news/resident-evil-film-title-johannes-roberts-1234935345/ It has no connection to the shitty Mila films, is using mostly practical effects, is taking inspiration from Resident Evil 1 and 2, using their Remake versions for visual inspiration, and is massively inspired by John Carpenters the thing.
