I'm back to testing in my Portal playthrough.

I found someone's hideout in a test chamber and it looks like they've gone crazy. I hope they're all right! Not everyone is cut out for testing :ohdear:

Has Leon ever even met Chris, now that I think about it?

In the canon CGI movies yeah, but not in the games. I also don't think Claire and Jill have ever met.

I am absolutely loving reading your posts. I cannot wait till you get to Portal 2. It is a sequel that does absolutely everything better.

Every valve sequel (HL2, Portal 2 and Left for Dead 2) takes everything great about the first and gives you so so much more :D

Eh, I mean, there are definitely visible improvements in the launch build that weren't in the demo fork (like a social hub, a squad UI, etc., things we've actually seen in preview videos), but there are also a lot of things that we're just being reassured will be better with no real evidence.

That said, even if every single bug from the demo is fixed (which it won't be), there are bound to be bugs in areas of the game we didn't see in the demo, new performance issues, and the issues with the game's godawful UX are big enough that it'd take a year of concentrated patching to fix.

I think the core game is fun enough to give it a shot even with those issues, but I'm also not paying full price for it at launch so :v:

Really I'm more concerned about bad UX, issues with the mission and map design, and things like that than I am with bugs and performance issues. Bugs can be fixed a lot more easily than core design and UI issues.

I'm just speaking from experience. Other games I've played where the community starts talking up a day 1 patch after an underwhelming public beta include FFXIV (the original version), Hellgate: London, Elemental: War of Magic, Wildstar, and other games with similar fates. It never works out. I think Anthem could be good after several more months of development but it feels like EA has already written it off.

Quite honestly, I don't even a little bit care what kind of game Death Stranding is or what you do in it or anything like that. I'm going to buy it. The sheer entertainment of this whole "what the gently caress is this game" campaign that has been going on for years is worth the price of admission all on its own.

I don't care if the game is an absolute mess of self-indulgent nonsense. I hope it is at this point. It's already fun by its very existence.

I'll buy Death stranding if it's good and I won't buy it if it isn't.

I also haven't watched a single trailer for it. I'll look at a trailer when it has something resembling gameplay in it.
