I started playing the redux version of the first game yesterday and I have to agree. The game is probably the most linear game I've played in a long time and I've just finished Masquerada: Songs and Shadows which despite being linear didn't feel as slow and restricted as Metro. Hopefully the second game gets better.

They're linear shooters by design, like Half-Life. It won't get better, though Exodus is apparently opening it up some?

fill it up enough and artyom eventually gains the mental wherewithal to think "wait a tick, something's not right here" and hesitate to murder all the dark ones, whereas if you haven't he'll unthinkingly smash the KILL EM ALL button and only regret it after the fact

The best part is you, the player, still have to realize that you need to actually take action and destroy the laser designator. If you don't you still get the default ending.

Double Cross. So far it's a fine but unremarkable platformer with a very Saturday morning cartoon tone.

I grabbed Mario Kart on the switch and game is still real good. It also brings out the fact that against friends or strangers online I can get 12th place all day, who cares, but as soon as I'm playing solo against the AI I'll tilt right off the face of the planet.

AC1 was a bit repetitive but it was decent enough at the time, it was immediately superseded by 2 though.
It was hilarious how quickly they backed off of the pre-release hype of 'getting into a fight is considered a fail state and will be super hard and one hit death!' from before 1 came out.

I thought Asscreed 1 did the best job of any of them of building a convincing world. Pretty shallow as an actual game, though.

It also had "That man is going to hurt himself. And when he does, I'm NOT going to help him!"

Randy Pitchford is understandably done for. New leadership at Gearbox will hopefully help that developer as they have been creatively bankrupt for some time now.

Past few months have been loving wild in terms of games management i.e. Blizzard/Activision/Squeenix/Riot. I imagine something like this is going to gently caress up Borderlands 3 which honestly would have looked bad next to RAGE 2 anyway.

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."



These allegations about Randy Pitchford do not surprise me in the slightest and a lot more will probably go down before this is all over. Hope it's not any dev I have actual respect for (but probably will be)!

Yeah it's like, either the lawyer is lying...or he knowingly covered up something horrible for his boss.

Like either way dis guy is something.

If he was Gearbox's lawyer for a decade he already had his hand in a bunch of shady poo poo to protect the business, and he's a scumbag most likely, but I also 100% believe him.

he may have just not been in a good position to make any accusations. it can be difficult to vocally accuse your boss of anything and get taken seriously or not swept under the rug

its not that surprising to me after the John K story, where john basically straight up told animators he was a pedophile and they just laughed it off nervously and kept it to themselves until it was convenient (aka waiting until 2017 to talk about it)
