Fatal Frame has gotten lost to history a bit, but I remember those games having the reputation as being the scariest that games have ever gotten when they were new.

There are exactly two games that my kids have played consistently for two straight years: Lego Marvel Super Heroes and “Robot Game” (Astro’s Playroom).

Personally overjoyed that it’s scoring so well. Incredible success for PlayStation and Team Asobi - I hope they’re celebrating well today/tomorrow.

Thanks, I still can’t wrap my head around how it makes sense to pull the game and issue auto refunds. Unless PlayStation thinks it’s so toxically bad that its mere existence is damaging to the brand.

I’m OOL, what happened that was this bad? I’d heard it wasn’t popular, like it just didn’t latch onto the market (reasonably, due to oversaturation), but was there something functionally wrong with the game?

The turn-based with real-time elements reminds me of Sea of Stars and Shadow Hearts, which are both excellent titles in my mind for this game to associate itself with. Looks really flashy too with the menu, camera movement, and slowdown effects (hopefully that wouldn’t get old with too much repetition).

Same here. Loved the setting and style, and the story and characters were admirably close to (the good) 3rd-person bioware stuff.

I don’t usually pay full price for games, but I was thinking of buying Greedfall 2 near release to support what they do. This puts a real taint on things.

Thought this looked pretty interesting, but the gameplay trailer looks pretty rough. Reminds me of a 2010-era mid-budget action adventure. I’ll keep an eye on it though, I’m not terribly picky about entertaining single-player games.

My patience with Cult of the Lamb finally pays off.

It’s worth mentioning that article is from 2020, around the time she had started pivoting from TERF-lite to TERF-MAX. It was…reasonably possible to assume at the time, for someone who wasn’t paying close attention, that her opinions were still rooted in misguided concern rather than open bigotry.

She had only just posted her manifesto a few months earlier, according to Vox’s helpful timeline, which reads reasonably if you’re unaware of the multitude of false and misleading claims she parrots.

Same, though interested is an understatement. Prey is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. I enjoyed Weird West, but it left me feeling more like a POC of what the studio wants to do than anything up to the actual standards of Arkane’s best.

If WolfEye fills the void of Arkane’s deplorable closure, they’ll get all the support I can give.

Personally, I am excited about Ender Lilies, it was on my wishlist, but don’t care about other games.

100%. I vaguely remember hearing about Ender Lilies a while back but it fell of my radar. I watched some videos after this announcement yesterday and it looks really great. I’m excited to try it out.

As for the other two, I think I am permanently Lego-gamed-out, and I don’t really understand what FNAF…is, and I haven’t the motivation to bother. What little I do know doesn’t seem up my alley.

Tried The Ascent because of just how slick it looked in the previews I saw. And you’re right, the atmosphere is great. But I have a low tolerance for the looter shooter format and I don’t play much online coop, so I got real bored of it real fast.

I rarely look at the text of legislative bills, but how does some of this language wind up in binding laws?

“Harmful to minors” includes in its meaning the quality of any material or of any performance or of any description or representation, in whatever form, of nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sado-masochistic abuse, when it: (a) Appeals to the prurient interest of minors as judged by the average person, applying contemporary community standards;

Who the fuck is the “average person”? What the fuck are “contemporary community standards”? Realistically, I know it’s on purpose to give the courts leeway to apply the law loosely, but it’s still outrageous.

§18-1514

I’ve had a Miele for 9 years. I don’t know if anything’s changed recently, but based on my personal experience, that’s a hard recommend.

Honestly super satisfied this month. Remnant 2 and Pathfinder are huge gets, really looking forward to them. Deadcraft seems really interesting too, but I already bought it on sale (after trying the demo).

My incredulity is as boundless as it is impotent.

I’ve been enjoying Pacific Drive this week. It’s a great survival crafting game in the vein of Subnautica, which is to say there is a linear progression path for upgrades and improvement, and a well-defined objective and end goal.

I just wish it was less stressful. Even just the normal act of activating a gateway to end a run requires a race through your current zone where one misstep can cause you to get stuck long enough to fail. And sometimes conditions just really stack up against you in a way that can be unexpected and frustrating.

Overall though it really hits the spot with its loop. I love returning to the garage and going through the ritual of healing, fueling up, recharging, transferring supplies, and checking on upgrades.

Oh…I also finished and platinumed 13 sentinels earlier this week. I enjoyed that one a lot more than I expected. It’s as compelling as it is eye-rollingly funny how many sci-fi tropes the main story burns through, but I i was frequently and pleasantly taken by surprise. And the battle system, which through the first area I thought was so easy it was basically a formality, really did become more challenging and tactical, especially when trying to get S ranks.

I’ve never played one except a PSP game way back that I dont think I understood at the time. I can’t even remember why I had it tbh. But I’ve been eyeing the series for the past few years. They look fun, but I’m not typically a Capcom fan and I’m pretty sure it’s not for me. Glad to be able to finally give one a proper try.

In searching for the video, (already provided in this thread) I amazingly found that this appears to be the same school where a selection of boys from the class of 2018 posed for a gleeful photo of them throwing up the nazi salute.
