I never played the original. I thought the FMV was key? And the trailer showed a glipse of some so maybe only some was cut?

The characters are all CG models in the remake. FMV was a characteristic in classic Cyan games, but the actual FMV scenes with rl actors in the original really only amounts to something like 10-15 minutes of footage, pretty much the entire game is unpopulated. Because it's freeroam and has a VR release, I think trying to remaster/reshoot FMV with a locked camera wasn't going to be practical.

Can't wait to try out a Dilation build in the next Last Epoch patch.

Prime example of why you never take your company public and two year runner up for the dumbest company ever Paradox interactive has decided to cancel their Sims clone game Life By you. Another long list of paradox Ls

Millenia: L
Cities Skylines 2: L!
All their shitty recent hoi4 and Stellaris dlc: L
Victoria 3: L
Lamp lighters league: L
Age of Wonders 4: No one's heard of or played this
Prison Architect 2: Imminent L

It really is a mystery how a company can take so many L's without collapsing in a giant explosion.

It's because they have the map autism market cornered and it's a very profitable niche. I should know, map painting has been a regrettable vice of mine for years that I sadly cannot quit. *sigh*
 
I will never forgive the Prison Architect devs for mindlessly selling their game to Paradox.
I tried playing the new version recently and holy crap its so fucking buggy. I ran into issues with the most basic shit all the time like buildings not finishing, immense pathfinding issues, automated door systems bogging down nonstop.
Its just so wild to me how a game can see years of development by Paradox and emerge as a worse version of itself. I blame the swedish work culture of "oh.. no cant say that... they might get hurt..."

Just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles, and the combat kinda sucks. Does it get better later on?
 
I mean honestly, Black Ops 6 looks pretty good but the whole movement shit there putting in the game concerns me, it almost feels like their doubling down on appealing to movement zoomers because XDefiant seems to be going in the opposite direction. will probably enjoy it regardless, im not very autistic in terms of Multiplayer games, just give me a game where I can run and shoot at people for a few hours.

You say that but they've also been neglecting their map games hoi4 and Stellaris are like a decade old at this point? And they are very much showing their age.

At least Stellaris has some good updates and DLCs now and then. HoI4 has just had stinker after stinker.
Don't really get it since it was popular at some point and surely brought in some shekels. Really don't understand why the teams in control of it was just left to do jack all for almost a decade.

I downloaded Everspace 2 and I'm enjoying the overall gameplay, though I'm only a couple quests into the game. It has already made me laugh out loud at this, though.

Your first companion is a black dude named Dax and he mentions he had a moronic partner named "Maddocks". This is done completely straight-faced and I respect the commitment.

I wanted to love this game but the fact that 70% of a space shooty arcade game is hunting for ridiculously hard to find collectibles and solving terrible puzzles in debris fields made me look unfavorably back on it when I beat it.

This is informative, I thought the entire bundle is available. It's kind of fucked they're selling a bundle when they only have one game completed, and the people on GOG are absolutely whining that the game is barebones and not like the modded claptrap they've been fucking about with.

I believe the original Resident Evil used a 16-bit executable.

Just received the email newsletter from GOG that the original Resident Evil trilogy (not the updated PS4/PS5 versions) are heading to GOG for the first time

As someone that always wanted to play the originals but never managed to have the time do it, this was actually a nice thing to wake up to yesterday. I could also play the rooms through an emulator, but either way, it’s still a win for me.

Oh, did GoG finally figure out how to do this kind of thing properly? As far as I know they never really fixed Soul Reaver.
