If it's anything like Ragnarok then i guess not lol.
Then again it wouldn't matter, find me one recent game adaptation show that wasn't pozzed to hell with blackwashing and gay shit.

Can't wait to see the diverse cast fight the all white(and pale white Einherjar) bad guys and their evil leader who looks like a pathetic conniving shifty jew, with the iconic line "BOW TO YOUR QUEEN!!" for maximum cringe.

I was kind of interested in checking out the new 007 game, but quickly stopped giving a shit once the devs opened their mouths and said how Bond as a character made them uncomfy. Fuck off.

I was just looking to see if anyone had discussed the game here. I don’t like engaging with pre-release material for games anymore but I kept seeing ads for this on the Playstation and the little I’ve gleaned from its store page blurb had me hopeful it might be something in the vein of Alpha Protocol. I know I’ve seen people involved with the 007 Amazon property spouting retarded shit with regard to the character, I presume the game devs did more of the same?

Speaking of Ratatouille, did anybody know that THQ published four different ports of a Ratatouille video game on ELEVEN different platforms?


That has to be a record of one game released on the most platforms simultaneously.

The Ratatouille games were such unironic kino, the PSP and Asobo versions were legitimately very solid 3D platformers, I also liked the Heavy Iron version but I know this is nostalgia speaking because that one is buggy and rushed. Free roaming around the levels was fun and they thankfully didn't do the collectathon shit of forcing you to get a bunch of garbage in order to progress (for the most part, the PSP version needs you to collect keys like stars in Mario games).

Just finished X Wing Alliance Upgrade a couple days back and I'm in the middle of doing Tie Fighter Total Conversion, these games are an absolute blast to play. I'm definitely going to try out Star Wars Squadron when I'm done with Tie Fighter but going forward in the realm of flying games, are there any other games like mentioned above?

If you're having fun with flight combat games from the 1990s, Novalogic's Comanche: Maximum Overkill is really fun (cue crying that this chopper never saw service). Wing Commander series is classic. I & II are pretty rough. Start with III.

I remember being surprised by Colony Wars so I'll recommend that. Starlancer was also pretty fun but it's a different type of space game.
 
I think it's really funny how Konami refused to allow Kojima to use the Silent Hill IP back in 2018 because "you not use IP properly! You rack honoroo!" Leading to PT but now if you want to make a Silent Hill game set in Candyland where George Floyd is stalked by watermelon monsters Konami is like "yea ok where do I sign?"

Konami did let him use the ip, they didnt let him keep his job because he wasted millions and over half a decade making mgsv, a boring half baked slog.

Animal Well is pretty mid. I don't hate it, but I'm probably not going to play any more of it. I'm glad I bought it when it was on sale.

Personally, I went into Animal Well not knowing much about it, and absolutely adored it... at least for the main gameplay. It's a gorgeous world, the bosses and movement mechanics are really unique and fun, and the puzzles at first were clever but solvable and felt cohesive with the game world. So it was really frustrating when I finally hit a wall, looked up some hints, and found out that progressing any further with stuff like getting all the eggs takes a sharp left turn into a bunch of tortuous ARG bullshit.

Unless you have the absolute terminal redditorism it takes to enjoy that, just play it through and stop when you hit the credits. If you struggle with a puzzle then skip it or look up a hint to see if it's worth your time. And do get it on sale if you can, because it's a short game.

Apparently there was ARG stuff on the game's website prior to release, for people who were following the development closely, but if you discover it via Steam then the only thing on the store page even hinting at the ARG content is "The main game is just the beginning. Players will be discovering hidden puzzles for years". I took that as just hyperbolic grandstanding: "Casual players will still be finding stuff they missed even on their second and third playthroughs." It didn't occur to me that someone actually thought "this game is so obtuse that even the people who are willing to spend years playing it like it's a full time job as a member of a hundred man investigative team will still have trouble even finding all of it" was a good thing. Did the publisher think that if they came right out and admitted there's ARG content, people wouldn't buy it? I probably wouldn't have, and it would be a shame, because I did really enjoy the main gameplay. But the correct answer to that is to strip out all the ARG stuff and make it a standalone or put it on the website or something, and advertise it honestly. AW never needed any of this, and would be enhanced by excising all the teases of extra content. I hope Billy Basso takes the right lesson from this, but the redditor hugbox is ballwashing him so I won't be surprised if he thinks this was a complete success.

I feel frustrated to have bought it not knowing this. I would love to support the creation of more games like the main gameplay of Animal Well. I don't want to pay for ARG stuff I will never play. I especially don't want to support an ARG bait and switch. But it is tasty, tasty bait.
 
Renegade X has just released its 1.0 version.
I thought this shit had released years ago and already died, but I guess not.

For those not in the know, it's a fan-remake of the multiplayer half of the combined arms strategy shooter, C&C: Renegade.

If you've ever had a fantasy of playing a match of TibSun/Wars from the perspective of one of the ground troops, driving and flying vehicles and actually going inside of GDI/NOD buildings to destroy them, give this shit a go (or at least try the original C&C game)
 
I want to kill every nigger at ubisoft who had the idea of making mandatory to have their shitty uplay in every game they released
No wonder they're basically dead at this point

Is Fantasy Life i worth buying as a first foray into "cozy" games?

Its a lot of qtes. You chop trees, fish fish, mine rocks, etc. and the mashing gets worse the more you play. There's even boss tier rocks, trees and fish like there is enemies. The combat is rare and is basically just 2d zelda. Personally, no I don't recommend it.
