They shouldve just deleted "Hellblade" out of the title and called it a day. Or just her name as the title would've worked well. It really feels like the title came from the earlier stages of the project when things appeared quite different (like their first version of Senua, that model was generic as poo poo) and for some reason.

I did miss some of the runes so I'll have to go back and get them for the last achievement and apparently getting them all gets you some extra stuff during the ending.

Without spoilers (I'm currently near the end of the trials, so not finished yet) is there any easy way to go back and get ones you missed? I've missed 1 rune and I'm nearing the end of having all of them (Maybe 8-10 remaining runes in total). It's literally killing me when I see a new rune and having that one red rune back from somewhere in the early game.

Some can be gotten but others are permanently missable past certain points unless you replay the entire game. You just get the achievement and one additional 30-second hidden cutscene before the very end of the game (that you can youtube) so it's not a huge deal.

I'm not sure if this will work but you can backup your current save, move it to another folder, and then quickly play through to get the last lorestone since your progress carries over from game to game. It looks like you're missing a rune from Surt's area.

I'd already completed the game. But you're right that the runes persist, so I've now got the achievement unlocked at least. Will just take a look at youtube for what I missed.


Edit: Ok, so even having 1 runestone missing I still got that secret cutscene where Druth talks to you in the portal, and takes off his hat and stuff, before you step through.

So who's excited for some horror coming out tomorrow? On the one hand we got the new cyber punk hack horror game 'Observer' from the people that did Layers of Fear and we also get the re-release of Night Trap (which I found out today is going to have some prototype demo game along with it called 'Scene of the Crime': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIBBDyRn3b0). Pretty excited all around.

Gamespot gave Observer a pretty enthusiastic thumbs up! That's the only review I've seen so far, I'm sure there are more.

I had no idea Observer was out and I'll probably give that a shot, but Nidhogg 2 is out tomorrow as well so I'll wait.

There is a bit more exploration and puzzle-solving that LoF, but it's still more or less a walking simulator. It also has same over-reliance on spooky screen distortions and sudden loud noises. Visual and sound effects of your "detective vision" are annoying as hell too...

He's been doing them a while, going for awkward humour. I enjoy them sometimes. Worst case scenario, I appreciate the effort he puts into trying to introduce a video, but I can see how this can turn people off.

Wolfe is sort of riffing on the idea of skits being a common thing while producing his own as a way to generate interest to his channel. He's talked about being hit with the same problems a ton of youtubers are experiencing (which is also why he's streaming more frequently) so while skits may seem out of his wheelhouse he also needs to keep his business going.

The skits are also amusing, imo.

i don't particularly mind the skits all that much but i'm finding myself skipping them half the time anyways. hopefully he doesn't keep doing it forever. being a fulltime youtuber seems like some kind of personal hell, though, so who knows.

Also anyone that was put in the pewdiepie game as a guest star is also pretty low on the ol' totem pole of quality to me. But different strokes for different folks, right?

He's queer and I'm not, so I don't think it's my place to judge how he uses the term. I also have no idea what you're talking about with pewdiepie or why I should care.

I'm not gay either, but I can still recognize when a shirt with a slogan on it can be misconstrued. It's hard to measure when a term is considered offensive in a given group, cause to me queer being equal to homosexuality means that it's something odd or out of place but it's not.

I will admit though that yardbomb is correct; there's apparently another bearded person who wears a furry hat that was in that game. My bad on that.

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

"Queer" has been used by the LGBT communities for years now as it's an easy, all-encompassing phrase for anyone not 100% straight and/or gender normative, or who just doesn't want one single label or series of labels for whatever they are.

Well, I'll be passing on this one, thanks for the heads-up. I still need to watch John or MrKravin play it but the protagonists of both SOMA and of Layers of Fear were so off-putting (especially in the latter) that I'm inclined to avoid.

Observer is way better than Layers of Fear, I guess partly because I love these futuristic dystopias.

He's credited in the game.
