PD is so fucken cool, I've wanted a proper sequel for years. Rare was working on a third game, Perfect Dark Core, in the mid-2000's but the head of Xbox game division at the time said "we don't need another sci-fi franchise" because Halo and Gears of War were at their peak. gently caress yeah gimme eco-punk spy-fi. If it doesn't come to PC for whatever reason I will absolutely buy a god drat console for it lmao.

I think Graven’s combat would be immensely improved with some kind of block/parry that eats stamina and a dash mechanic like double tapping a direction dashes. You know... Dark Messiah combat! As it is the primary enemies all have a rushing leap attack so the best melee strategy is to just rush them and eat the hit. Everything else the graphics, world, gibs, sound design it’s all set up like a game I would’ve devour circa 2001 but it feels hollow. Like it feels like one of those early 2000s Eurojank action RPGs, Die by the Sword or Enclave(?) which was fine two decades ago but those games had their own gimmicks. Also what’s up with the rats worshipping a big green rat, is that a reference to something or set dressing?

It feels not so great in the sewers but feels a lot better when you get the sword (250 gold from the smith in the town), and even better once you get the flail. There's a lot of good ideas there, but I can definitely see why people are feeling that it's hollow right at the beginning. The smith's items suggest there's maybe a block mechanic anyway, with the shield you can't buy in the demo and all that.

Hot take: Perfect Dark starts incredibly strong and then just increasingly shits the bed. I blame Elvis. I've basically always wanted a game to take the feel of the first 3 levels and extrapolate them into a full game, so if this new one comes anywhere close to that I'm happy.

My ideal Perfect Dark is firmly rooted in turn of the century future aesthetic. It should still look like Ghost in the Shell/The Matrix.

My biggest issues with Graven are spells costing too much mana to feel worthwhile and movement being too slow. It feels like it's trying to be an immersive sim but isn't really committing to it. Adding a proper dash or dodge or just increasing the movement speed to be faster would make it feel better IMHO. I thought all of the weapons were really satisfying to use, and the combat had a really chunky feel that I liked.

Kind of surprised you think the game is slow, the default move speed felt fine.

I love westerns, and weird westerns especially, and I really wish we got more of them. Edit: I wish Darkwatch got a PC port, I just can't do FPS's on a controller.

Dark watch wasn’t Capcom but Capcom did lay the foundation for Red Dead Revolver which is a very weird El Topo like boss rush arcade shooter.

Yeah, looking it up Capcom just published it but their logo on the box is bigger and brighter than the actual devs so lol. It also apparently didn't get a large print run since used copies of it are still being sold for like 60 bucks, yeesh.

Agree with you and also someone else said the game felt like it'd be more of an immersive sim with the little town square opening up but the NPCs are just there. But the whole time I was playing the demo I was thinking man I want a first person Dark Souls that looks like this.

Graven has exactly all the issues I immedaitely recognized from their first preview video. Putting loot into generic breakables that all look interchangeable and then spamming breakables everywhere is the most obvious one. I think at this point Boomershooters are just a cargo cult and most of them really have no idea what they're doing. Just blindly worshipping the Quake-shaped box that fell from the sky.

Steam makes money not valve. Valve hires people and then does nothing with them. Valve could close up so they wouldn't be paying all those employees if that was the goal

I thought HL3 was all but officially canceled and that's why the writer posted a thinly veiled summary of its plot.
