The only source I can find is this one, where it's drone bees and everyone knows it. (They can't sting)
Unless that's a lie but I'd need evidence for that? The guy's done some verifiable awful things (like the time he basically threatened to shut down the company and fire everyone if he wasn't allowed to sexually harass them) but there's no real evidence of this attempted murder via bees.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Quake 1.5 is a waste of its name. A name like that makes me think of either a port of the Strogg and all the Q2 weapons/powerups to Q1, or a port of the eldritch monsters and all the Q1 weapons/powerups to Q2. This is neither of those things, it's just Brutal Quake.

They wrote themselves into a tight corner with completely unstoppable psychic penises, a protagonist who never talks and has no agency, a pretty shallow X-Files conspiracy plotline, and then on top of everything else just missing the boat on getting really anything else out there in a non-ludicrous time frame.

The irony is that had he released the same trailer but called it brutal quake it probably would have showed up on lots of news feeds and got really popular.

People were talking about the Metro games in this thread earlier, what difficulty/mode would you guys recommend a first timer play through 2033 Redux on?

The way difficulty and game modes work in the Metro games is a little weird, but I would strongly advise against playing the difficulties that remove aspects of the HUD. It makes it really difficult to see what sort of objects you can interact with in the world, and makes it annoying as poo poo to keep track of your inventory. I get what they're trying to accomplish but I felt like it was easier to keep track of loaded magazines on my rig in real life than in that mode.

All these attempts at bringing the Borealis to life have got me thinking: Has there ever been a good action game that takes place either entirely or almost entirely upon a boat? I can only think of mediocre-at-best survival horror games.

Metal Gear Solid 2 doesn't count because the boat bit is a short intro sequence, BTW.

Resident Evil: Revelations is a survival horror game with a boat-based setting and it was much better than mediocre I'd say.

That would have to be a drat big boat to support the amount of unique square footage found in a typical action game. If you're going to imagine a vehicle that enormous you may as well go all the way and make it a spaceship, then you can do more sci fi stuff.

Uncharted 3 has a fairly long sequence that takes place on a cruise ship, maybe one of those would have enough space and variety to support a whole campaign. They're basically a hotel, a casino, and a mall all rolled into one.

Raid Mode in that game is straight up action and is excellent so I'd say that definitely counts.

The only game that comes to mind that hasn't been mentioned yet is Cryostasis.

EDIT: Also I think Sega Dreamcast's "Carrier".

EDIT 2: I suppose Cryostasis could kind of be considered actiony, but I'm not sure about Carrier. I can't remember if it plays much like RE4 ("survival horror" but really shooty).

Big boats are ships, and space ships are ships, so space ships are big boats.

I think every single video game I can think of that is entirely or even pimarily on a ship is dire. Like the best one I can come up with is merely "ok" unless we allow games where you play as a boat/move the boat as core gameplay.

Carrier is hot trash for the person wondering.

Honestly a boat makes for a terrible setting for an entire game. It's all cramped corridors, cramped storage rooms, cramped engine rooms.

A cruise liner can at least offer some spacious places so that you don't get too claustrophobic, but it's still very repetitive and there's no point in exploring a thousand identical passenger cabins.
