Is anything like this in Witcher 3? Because I still intend to play through that one day and it seemed ok from the first few hours I tried.

not really, when Wild Hunt attempted contemporary "humor" it consisted of dadjoke-level gags about GOG or Monkey Island

This is how they report vehicle statistics. Like I've seen almost that exact wording regarding motorcycle accidents vs registration.

This seems like one hell of a stretch. That's not uncommon language for discussing disproportional representation in any context, particularly vehicles. It's not that difficult to Google. I'd say half of the results on the first page for me use that same phrase.

Unless that specific statistic is one often quoted by chuds, I agree it's not hugely likely to be intentional. Hard to be 100% sure though given the other poo poo that's crept out of CDPR in the last few years.

It's boilerplate statistical jargon as said. And if it's a reference to anything, in the 80s there was a model of car that news reported in the same way - Porsche, I think? Where the accident rate was insanely higher than the ownership rate in the exact same way

Then again I'm not familiar with racist right wing memes

If I wanted an arcade cabinet with more than the 2-6 games that the officially licensed ones offer (seriously, 400 bucks to play Ms. Pac-Man?), is this a good idea

I know basically what MAME is, but I'd rather just buy a completely built and ready to go solution if I could.

thats a really ugly cabinet and $1500 is nuts imo, i've seen people selling prefab mame cabinets for like 1/3rd of that price, but its your money

Man Indivisible is uh.......so poorly paced you would think it's a joke. The main character goes to the top of a hill where you meet her dad. She gets mad at the dad for beating her in a training fight, accuses him of being a bad dad and yells a bunch of exposition questions at him like "I'm mad at you because you never told me how mom died or where you were from!" and the dad gets mad and goes back to town. You follow about ten seconds behind him and the village is now on fire and everyone is dead so you immediately make up with your dad who is also now dead, get into a fight with the villain who you then absorb and force to join your party, then you meet a tiger lady who you've never met before and you absorb her too and her response is "oh, okay"

This all happens in the span of THREE MINUTES

This almost reads like it's an intentional reaction to the opening of Valkyrie Profile, where the time it takes to get your first two real party members is much, much longer and has a lot of just sitting around in dialogue scenes. It's like the polar opposite of that.

The amount of hyperbole of Cyberpunk's "racism" and "sexism" is crazy to me. Ten hours in and the game seems great on those fronts, at least relative to other massive AAA titles.

Indivisible is just really really bad. It has great animation and a fun wise cracking party member, but besides that it is painfully unfinished. Mike Z is bad at game development, and as a human being.

Counterpoint: Indivisible is good. But yeah the pacing is bonkers. Halfway through, high on her own supply, the protagonist challenges the final boss and eats poo poo, dooming the world. Significant story spoilers but you should click if you aren’t planning to play it

Yeah I just got to the elevator in the prison dungeon thing and I'm comfortable in just putting the game down forever. The combat isn't that fun for how much of it I'm having to do and the maps are absolutely massive despite being mostly filled with nothing

It is three centuries in the future. The entire human race has been locked in war for so long no one can remember when it started. The emperors of a dozen planets vie for power in a star-spanning struggle for dominance. The ultimate prize, held in an impregnable vault in the very core of the galaxy itself, the last chicken dinner ever made.

Does PUBG actually have lore? Or does it have lore in the way that Fortnite does, i.e. disconnected marketting tie-ins occur without rhyme or reason?
