The sequel had a rough start with me too. It amplified it’s predecessor’s weaknesses by doubling down on repeating combat encounters and collecting upgrade materials. This time you get to collect five times as much – who actually wants this from a Remedy game?

Finishing Control 2 disappointed in pretty much every aspect. Even subtracting the open world and uneven fighting, there is only an adequate game between the gaps. AW2 added more to the storyline than this; Resonant just rehashes Fayden-lore. Gorgeous visuals can’t distract from lost Finnish juice.

Once again I am asking why this happens to indie games and not big blockbusters where you can fuck the bear or go to strip clubs. And once again I know the answer

Finished 'The Blood of the Dawnwalker'. The soft time limit and day-night-cycle are nothing to be afraid of and its greatest strength. Wouldn't have finished it otherwise. Yes, you won't experience everything in one playthrough. That is fine! Also it's no Witcher 3 clone - the combat is way better.

Big games going over budget shouldn't surprise nor scare Sony. Clinging to exclusivity so much that PC ports aren't acceptable also won't help in changing public opinion that Playstation has no games. Now it has none minus Physint!

I don't care for Sony or Microsoft but how do you basically gift the competitor a Kojima game?! What do you mean, you don't want to print money? Another huge fumble by Playstation.

After the harrowing debates around 'Lanterns' and the Zach Cregger Resident Evil-Movie producers should once again realize that listening to fandoms is never worth it. These people don't know art, they just want easter eggs. Fandoms crave Glup Shittos but never thoughtful adaptions.

I think stalker enemies can be very fun when done well. But yeah, nowadays *everyone* seems to think you need such a section in your survival horror game. Maybe after Amnesia-Likes became so prevalent? Like, design your game around that mechanic or don't do it - you can't just throw that in there!

After a really rough demo the developer's show attitude like they're selling GTA VI. You know that people just... won't buy your game? Let's be honest, AA development is an uphill battle - you can't just burn goodwill *before* early access.

Just had that problem with Dragonsword: Awakening. Very obvious from the start but a few hours in it dissolves into a mess where even basic pronouns are wrong. Been told for month that AI translation is perfect and as someone that's been in the fansubbing scene of the 00s - it's never that easy!

Dark Souls 2 is so mechanically obtuse that it makes me love it more. Armor is basically meaningless and a full Havel’s set has the same damage reduction as a single specific ring. Poise is fake. Your I-frames are dictated by two arbitrary stats that both contribute to a third arbitrary stat. ❤️

Until Elden Ring it was the mechanically richest game in the series by far, building characters was super fun as was the in-depth PvP. Also Adaptability did nothing wrong.

Probably good advice for a lot of other filmmakers but he's been pretty vocal about that style stemming from his red-green colour blindness. Like the resulting greenish Dunkirk skies. This looks genuinely good to him so it feels like fair game.

We at Bethesda aim to please with at best mediocre crowd-pleasers that take decades of development time. Somehow we also never learn about announcing our titles two generations before they release. Here, have some remasters that don't work with thousands of mods the community painstakingly crafted.

The newest 'Top 10 Games'-trend is pretty humbling. Even outside 'Gun & Ball'-gamers like 95% of the participating accounts post only AAA open world titles and not a single indie. This, the crashing industry and young people pretty much playing Roblox exclusively seems really bad for the future, huh

This one going from 70 to 110$ is one of the most Bandai Namco moves of all time. Never give up, surely the next title made in the anime slop mines will be your GTA VI.

Make no mistake! This time Xbox know that cutting developers will obliterate their output in the long run. They definitely learnt from that fumble. But this time it's deliberate. Microsoft is pivoting to AI, the report on sunsetting Xbox was probably true - it's quietly being put to sleep.

So, Rockstar will not only ruin the discourse about realism in games for a decade *again* but they just killed physical editions for good. If they can sell 80$ games without a disc - which they absolutely can - this will become industry standard. Things are so dire, man. It's hard to stay positive.

Haven't seen people talk about 'Spider-Noir' - probably because it was dropped all at once - and can't recommend it enough. Nicolas Cage and Brendan Gleeson are acting their heart out and have visible fun with a comic adapation. Production should've fully committed to b&w though.

There is no argument for machine translation that can't also be used to justify AI art / writing / whatever else you like. Stop being a fucking hypocrite just because machine translation is useful to you and you don't understand / don't value the work of translators.

Outside of gaming it's nothing new that PR tries to embargo pretty much everything. In this case however if you decide to sit on this while being aware that the affected employees don't know they're being fired? Might as well change your job description to Ubisoft marketing.

After having played the 1666: Amsterdam-prologue i’m really deflated. Obvious AI use for changing paintings and the *COVER ART* aside, every aspect is undercooked. From the technical level to movement, clumsy writing and – worst of all – the inclusion of a mascot that sounds like Rocket Raccoon.

The actual most important line of the Capcom *Investor Q&A* is "it will take some time before we can quantitatively demonstrate the results of this improved development efficiency". Thinly veiled lies to pump their shareholder value up, they have absolutely nothing right now.

Surely this game succeeded because of the *brand* only. As holders of the IP we can recreate this by *simply developing a game*. Some swedes did it, so we can too. After all we already bought the most important part - the license. We have a studio, best to cancel their titles again, just to be safe.
