It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I took a peek at the robot fight thing and those robots aren't even close to what I would call 'giant'

I'm amazed they were still around after working on their Star Wars game for 4 years without anything to show for it. That project must've been really hosed.

I mean, they only hired Amy Hennig and started production on it mid-2014. The EA statement is pretty transparent that they decided they don't want a single player story-driven experience and want something players can "replay for years to come" or some poo poo, meaning some sort of games as a service lootbox model like with Battlefront and their other properties

The setting was more interesting than the gameplay, but I was okay with that because I'm super picky about my FPSes. Just needed to be good enough for me to blow up robo Nazis.

You know, i played -but not beaten- the first Mordor game. I was gifted and I thought it was pretty cool.

I bought the new one yesterday and felt... Totally unenthused. To the point where I'm just going to get a steam refund (first time ever doing). I dont know if I'm unimpressed with the game itself or if the LOTOR setting just doesnt do it for me. Because i played arkham knight and ate that poo poo up with its similar combat system.

I will say that the game has barely even started two hours in, but you're probably not missing much in the embarrassment of riches that is 2017 in video gaming

I was going to say that you had missed Bloodlines but somehow both Rondo and Chronicles are actually older...

Sakurazuka
Jan 24, 2004

NANI?

Chronicles is just CV 1 with nicer graphics and remixed music and twice as hard. The PS1 version replaces the main character sprite with one that looks more like an Ayami Kojima character instead of old barbarian Simon and remixes the music yet again to sound like Dracula has a disco constantly set up in his castle.

Sakurazuka

You can tell Bloodlines is a really late Megadrive game because everything is made out of a million smaller sprites and slows down constantly.
