Morpheus posted:Man, Korean horror can be so weird sometimes. Currently watching this now, and it's got a great sense of creepy dread and horror but at the same time the police force of the town are like the three stooges and the main character is like someone torn out of a comedy who wakes up from nightmares flailing like a baby that's throwing a tantrum (maybe this changes further in, I'm about 45 min through) You should watch memories of murder if you haven't because the police in that movie (a serial murderer mystery based on a real case which was at the time unsolved) are even worse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n_HQwQU8ls

It’s funny that the ubiquitous save icon image is still a floppy disk, which is itself an anachronism, because it’s not an actual floppy.

We had a Jaz drive on the old family Macintosh Performa (I think). It could hold an insane 2GB per disk! How are you ever going to fill that up?? I played so many Mac games and demos off that thing.

A little behind the scenes film trivia: Due to regulations, nearly anything racist in a movie was added during post production by a specialized racism machine. It ADR'ed half the lines in Pulp Fiction. Older analogue models could apply various colors of face, which became a bit of a lost art after the transition to digital production. It's the unsung hero behind Mickey Rooney's performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The concept was pioneered when Birth of a Nation used a primitive form of mocap to superimpose klansmen over horses. Strict export controls make it a felony to share complete machines or even details and schematics with Italy.

The problem with plague tale 2 imo is that I think a lot of us cut the first one some slack for being this surprise underdog game by a smaller dev, but you’d still expect a sequel to be a big improvement and it just doesn’t feel like it is. It’s not bad but I’m not willing to grade it on a sliding scale anymore either and I feel like the gameplay is pretty clunky and the performance is rougher than it has Any reason to be.

I appreciate Plague Tale continuing to do its own thing and haven’t encountered many performance issues, but the progression is “looser” in a way that isn’t entirely to its benefit. the first game had you methodically expanding your tools and abilities so the curve was very gentle unless you hopelessly screwed yourself by not sufficiently upgrading the sling before a certain endgame sequence. Requiem blows out your skill set way faster, which keeps you from accidentally hobbling yourself, but the extra options can make the combat feel clumsy in the heat of the moment that being said, the stealth sections often give you the option to just book it like mad to the exit if you think you’ve put enough distance between yourself and whoever might spot you, which is always nice

Haven't really had any gameplay issues with Plague Tale on Normal. I appreciate that getting spotted is no longer instadeath and that Amicia has a few ways to fight back or re-enter stealth. You don't even have to be particularly elegant about it if you run far enough.

I can't believe they're giving Freelancer away for free, I would've happily paid a few bucks for it. The amount of content in Hitman 3 is ridiculous and IOI is just stuffing in more. The madmen

Still trucking through God of War, and I still have no idea where the hype comes from. This is a decent game, sure, but it's a solid 85, with way too many weird and poorly-thought-out mechanics to get any higher. I have never once gotten away from feeling like I'm on very strict rails. I got through Alfheim, and hey, the dwarfs gave me some sidequests, and Boy tells me like 3 times that maybe we should go exploring! Except that this game is terrified to let you think that it's an open world game, so even the "exploring" bits feel heavily linear. I can set out in the boat to explore a circular lake, but I can only get off the boat at a handful of explicit docks. And each dock is attached to what amounts to a small, isolated platform that doesn't lead anywhere else, so you light the torch and fight a handful of enemies and then go back to the boat because you've done all that's there. The two sidequests for the dwarfs were just small dungeons attached to a couple of the docks, so by the time I'd made a circle around the lake, I was now Done With Exploring and there was nothing else to do but proceed with the main quest. Also the monster AI is just lacking. Essentially, the enemies don't care what the other enemies are doing, so you can literally have three elves swooping at you with their spears just a second or two apart. I fought two of the Revenants at one point, and they both ended up close together at one point, and it became unbelievably frustrating -- Boy would make one vulnerable with his arrows and then the other one would start sweeping waves of poison at me making it impossible to close in and attack the vulnerable one. The only way to fix that seemed to be to run in and try to get one of them to follow me somewhere else, so they weren't providing perfect cover for eachother anymore. Just felt very janky -- I know that even in Elden Ring, they sync the enemies AI to some degree so that sort of thing doesn't happen. And the item shop. Good god. I don't know how they managed to make that many distinct options for buying and upgrading different items, and made every single choice somehow feel bad. And they love to tease you with the Upgrade Weapon option, but that's basically just a story gate, since it requires a unique item that's only come from progressing the campaign so far. So I've got like 10k experience saved up waiting, because I've only got a level 3 axe and I've bought literally every move I think I'd ever use from the first 3 tiers. Agh sorry this is so long. I just played another long session last night and every time I touch this game I'm just baffled at some of the decisions they've made.

The madmen Hitman 3 was the highest rated and best selling entry, exceeding their expectations, so I think they might have decided to make stuff free that otherwise would've been paid dlc. So good on them for not being greedy I guess. It really is a lot when you have all the past content of the trilogy integrated into it. It's freaking great.

how long are you supposed to give a game to "click" with you? Vampire Swansong I am 30m into the tutorial and I am just bored to teaaars. maybe because I've played and ran the ttrpg for decades but it's just so bland and I'm being hand-held so much
