I could not find much rhyme or reason to Killer7 and i gave up playing it after maybe a few hours. its got a cool style but once it dropped its oblique environmental narrative design in the first level and then played that movie explaining what was going on I was put off by it.

~*4 LIFE*~
I got started on the Shivering Isles DLC :toot:

First impressions are mostly positive, the world they created for this is so dingy and different that it really stands out (it feels very Morrowind so far from the bits I've seen) and from what I can tell they've made a huge extra area, it looks like there's way more content than I was expecting. The enemies all feel super unique as well and the overall vibe is very offputting. The one issue I have so far is I hope not all the dungeons are grummites because I'm 3 for 3 so far and they're a huge pain in the rear end.

Shivering Isles is absolutely the best Oblivion has to offer, and no, not all the dungeons are grummites.

Absolutely, in my opinion. I think it's no longer fair to poo poo on this game or the devs. They have delivered the game they promised and then some. It has an entire mode now where you don't even have to worry about resources or being killed by crazy robots; god mode is enabled, you get unlimited resources and tech, and can just build and explore to hearts content.

Game development is difficult and time-consuming and gets tougher at each level of graphic fidelity. And then after you release the game, there is a chance everyone will hate the thing you and 20 other people just spent three years working on. Or there is a chance people will run a social media campaign against you and your game because you had a lady in it or something. Or they'll do it because you got singled-out for a lovely but ubiquitous business practice. Or you're just EA and deserve most of the poo poo anyway. Being fun and experimental about making games is exhausting.

I might reinstall if they have a just build your space treehouse and have a good time mode. The inventory management before was tedious.

Sometimes the poo poo is totally deserved. EA deserves it, the devs behind Star Citizen, and Shroud of the Avatar deserve to be relentlessly harassed on Twitter too. Otherwise I tend to just leave devs alone and understand sometimes bad poo poo just happens but it doesn't really matter because it's just a video game.

It's easy to say that people shouldnt have gotten mad about Hello Games, but they did demonstrably mislead and lie about their game. That's pretty lovely imo

it's kind of hosed up looking back on years of people laughing about how katamari damacy must have been made on drugs when the guy who directed it talks about his sense of self-defeat because he wanted to make the industry more aware of how we can experiment with gameplay not even for deep narrative purposes but just for the sake of it and he doesn't feel like he made the impact he wanted, and also that the concept of the game sprouted from his thoughts on rampant consumerism and hoarding of things that people don't really need even if he doesn't think that core message is overall important to the game itself anymore

asking "what kind of drugs were they on when they thought this up?? lol" is definitely way up there in terms of stupid things to say about media

That's true. If you misrepresent your game or lie to players, you're gonna get crap for it and that's on you.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I miss the pre-NMS release hype cycle where Sean Murray would appear on some gaming channel and paid hype men from IGN would gradually get bored of the game just in the 10 minutes it took for him to fly onto a planet and shoot at a couple yellow rocks. That poo poo was endlessly entertaining and I wish it never had to end.
