how could you forget the dramatic climax where she's wandering through a postit-filled hallway with "RATIO" scrawled on every one

I remember when this leaked years ago and I honestly thought it was canceled because of how bad it sounded. IIRC the original leak said development started in 2020 so lmao Konami is really just killing it

i admittedly invented that from whole cloth but it's also totally believable with how badly konami has been mangling the franchise

could they just go back to making awful pyramid head branded pachinko machines so i at least don't have to see them desecrating the body like this

Delisted from Xbox store too.

Edit: delisted from GOG.com too and I panic bought it for 3.99€ yesterday :lmao:

So it's either going to be Abandonware or a remaster in the works

Another win for physical games (and GOG installers like mine that will end being shared freely)

I doubt it's ever coming back. Get a physical copy now if you need to. Online price is going up very quickly, tho a lot of indie shops might still have copies floating around. Just picked up the PS3 premium edition for 16 bux at the store.

So are the obvious biblical allusions in the names of the characters in Stellar Blade hints as to where the story is going or just NGE-esque “I thought it sounded cool”

Lead is Eve, her two buddies are Adam and Lily (Lilith). What’s next, are they gonna be looking for Noah’s Ark?

Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin are both day 1 for me, good god AND Dragon's Dogma. 2024 might be even better than 2023 for me since I will still be catching up on 2023 games all year. My wallet will be ruined come summertime. Plus Death Stranding II and Monster Hunter Wilds next year? Video gaming is good. Will the world end before I play all this poo poo?

I'm playing Yakuza 5 then 6 then Gaiden (already done 7) so I'll be playing the new one in approximately 18 years.

And i wasnt talking to you in the first place but you wanted to get in on it. :shrug:

Eh the covid mention is only clunky and cringe cos its a recent experience you and everyone else on the planet went through btw, its a way to connect to people to the modern reality of the setting and story (i say people, not goon irony cringe bros, they are above everything of course) you might as well get used to it, its new ww2.

Its kinda like how you couldnt make a 9/11 joke a year after it happend but now the zoomers who didnt live it have tons of em.

That only happened to Americans nobody cares.

E: it's also very specific to reference the suicides thing, which is a very Joe Rogan Experience. 911 doesn't really compare to 3m deaths globally either. Also it's not a joke, it's po-faced poo poo videogame writing.

I mean suicides didnt just stop during covid. I dont know what youre even talking about with this jan 6 cooker poo poo, i dont care enough about wack job culture war internet skermishes to know what youre even referencing with this cooker suicide thing. I do know its not a conspiracy that people died during that time of covid or sucidies. It does still happen you know.

The conspiracy theory was that suicide rates sharply increased with lockdowns and restrictions, and therefore any effort to actually address the pandemic was actually more harmful, didn't you know!!!

Feel like this is a whole lot of stark internet based black and white looking at things when the world isnt like that, like i dont think were gonna get maga 1488 codes in the game here, but yeah youre right, isnt worth it.


But Short message is not the blooper game, sh2 remake is. Short message is a different dev completely (hexasomething?) but does have some minor lore ties to silent hill f.

I havent got too far but short message doesnt seem bad in context of playing as everyone out of context is making it look :shrug: you still got the nocode sh game "townfall" and i hear nocode are "good devs" (american so im not expecting much) and silent hill f is the one thats closest to japanese team silent and the weebs tell me the writer of that ryuji??07 or something, is good, so...
