At least they added the speedometer so if you go too fast the game doesn’t work.

Because they are? How many YouTubers are playing The Hot New Thing from Nintendo right now, because they bought it? They are the ones perpetuating this shit. It’s all a feedback loop meant to suck as much money out of the public as they can.

I can go and find at least 6 YouTubers that I subscribe to that almost always play the newest of the new thing so it’s featured on their channel. RTGame, Mo1stCr1t1kal/Penguinz0, Game Grumps, IronPineapple, VideogameDunkey, OboeShoes, hell even General Sam as much as I love his style and humor.

I played this one shortly after release and it honestly ran incredibly smoothly for me. The only issue I had was one of the bounties never showed so I couldn’t properly finish them, but I wasn’t too upset about it.

I actually loved the story, way more than Fallen Order. Dagan Gera is honestly a very cool and interesting antagonist (and it doesn’t hurt that his fights are fuckin cool with his one-arm-using-the-force-to-swing-his-lightsaber around thing). Even the minor villains, like that warlord guy, are pretty cool and aren’t just bad guys.

I loved the scavenger aesthetic that was so present throughout Koboh. The mercenaries use old armor and ships left behind from the Clone Wars, and they’ve even found a Lucrehulk full of droids to use.

The banter between enemies when they’re out on patrols is honestly top-tier, right up there with the random conversations enemies would have in the old Jedi Knight games. One of my favorites was a couple stormtroopers making their rounds, and one says “I like when we’re out on patrol together.” The other responds with “we do stand better odds with more people.” The first one is just like “yeah… That’s right…”

“I’m gonna fucking kill you if you don’t answer another question in under five words, okay?”

Iron Man 2 and 3. At the time I thought it was a little weird, probably just the way they portrayed it when he freaked out after the kid asked him how he escaped the portal in Avengers.

Even Captain America lost Peggy in his first movie, and didn’t get to truly reunite with her until Endgame. He talks about it a few times throughout the movies.

Superheroes in general deal with tons of trauma. Batman is probably the poster child for superhero trauma. Which is another thing; we can all enjoy Batman as a character and the stories he shows up in, but at the end of the day we all should realize that Batman is not healthy or even fully sane. He regularly throws himself and others into danger, trying to save himself as an 8-year-old night after night.

That’s been changing recently. Hell even the Daniel Craig James Bond movies have him deal with trauma from the job. He usually just shakes it off or says he’s fine, but you can tell it’s hard on him.

Superhero movies are even doing this now, that was a huge plot point in Thunderbolts. That’s basically Hulk’s whole character motivation, too.

Trust me bro! Just keep boycotting and singing songs and dancing in the streets bro! It’s working bro!

Fuck these idiots who keep saying shit like this. IT. IS. NOT. WORKING. When are they gonna finally fucking realize that if we continue to show our back, this administration is going to keep stabbing it.

Nothing. People on Lemmy are even bigger grammar Nazis than on reddit.

I saw an ad a few days ago for a game called Roadside Research.

It’s a gas station management sim where you play as an alien disguised as a human, running a gas station and “researching” humanity.

It looks pretty fun.

Maybe because I said I hadn’t seen anything for the game other than the announcement?

I went down a rabbit hole of emulation last year. I got PCSX2 and tons of games like Ratchet & Clank, Tak 1-3, Jak 1-X, the Sly series, Spider-Man 2, and so many others. I spent a good month and a half just playing old PS2 games and I had an absolute blast

I enjoyed the first one, which is a shame because it released like right before the evidence and allegations came out about Roiland, so it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

I thought the game was fun and hilarious (I have an immature sense of humor), and it had enough random bullshit for you to find and enjoy that I didn’t care about the low points of the game. Being able to watch three full B-movies from the 80s-90s was awesome imo, and I absolutely loved finding the RedLetterMedia Easter egg. Then it turns out he’s a piece of shit hitting on minors and teens.

I want to play this second one, even though I’ve seen literally nothing for it other than it was coming out at some point. But at the same time, I’m hesitant because Roiland kinda fucking sucks.

Literally my first thought was “I bet the US either paid someone or sent their most Cuban asset to pull this off.”

I’m American too. I fucking hate my country.

Remember Gamefly?

Gamepass wasn’t a bad idea, and it was actually pretty cool when it first came out. It was basically Microsoft’s Gamefly.

And the Son, Emulation?

They at least fixed the water walking in Oblivion. You could just look down to start swimming.

But yeah, I did that to a character or two as well. I think one time I thought a permanent levitation spell would be the tits. Then I found out about how slow it is.

Or you could do “soul trap on self” combined with a “fortify skill” effect.

It is

FUCK. Now that’s some good shit.

This is the Kain game I played when I was a kid. The PS2 I got just happened to have a copy, so I gave it a shot one time. Holy shit, it’s like playing through a high-budget period-fantasy movie. The voice acting goes insanely hard, the story is wild and twisted, and the locations are dark and grim; even when they’re brightly lit.
