Torque is about as “to do with motorcycles” as movies get so I have to assume it’s a mixup with something else

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


What I mean is that Torque could literally be about Bronze Age chariots or someone's sick ethereum mining rig. The motorcycles are just the vessel through which the insanity of the movie is delivered.

All right, today I got the letting Lem & Mina board the Sidereal Horizon ending in Citizen Sleeper! I guess you can keep going after that, although it's usually hard for me to continue with a story after the credits roll. Neat little game, I can see why so many people like it.

So far in 2023 I have completed:

Would you be my new best friends?

I've run through the first and second runs for Leon and Claire in the Resident Evil 2 Remake, had a blast, and lol at the ending where Sherry is just like,"Welp, poo poo happens" about her parents being dead, which is fair enough given they were giant pieces of poo poo and also the fact that Leon and Claire met and interacted for all of 30 minutes but are basically best friends/a potential couple now. The game looks fantastic which actually clashes a little with the older style of gameplay, but I really enjoyed it and am glad I got to experience it looking as good as it did.

Had a weird glitch where I don't think the environment loaded during the epilogue though so the characters are just walking through a weird cloudy/foggy void, which actually gave a kind of hosed up feeling like maybe they just straight up died and went to heaven and their minds just tricked them into thinking they killed the G-Virus :tinfoil:

REmake2 might have been the best thing I played last year. It might be my favorite in the series now?

It also kinda felt like they finally found the right mix of the survival horror, tension-heavy RE AND the bombastic stupid action movie RE. Extremely good poo poo all around IMO

I feel like RE4 has insanely high expectations against it (both in terms of succeeding RE2 and the legacy of the OG RE4) but I can't wait to play it all the same.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what they do to 4, I love the game but you have to wrestle the controls and it is showing its age, and getting to play that batshit insane story with modern graphics and hopefully easier to control characters is gonna rule.

I've never played 3, I'm gonna hold off for a little bit so I don't burn out but really hoping it lives up to 2.

Speaking of PS5s, if you have one and it's standing vertical, put that poo poo horizontal immediately. Console repairers are noting that a design flaw can cause the liquid used to cool the CPU to spill out when the console is upright and cause permanent damage.

Wasn't the same with PS2 where keeping vertical could potentially gently caress it up?

RE4 really was so good. Its so over the top stupid sometimes. But never overly so. It hit that sweet spot of being enoyably corny. Plus its fun to play.

Man did they gently caress up that formula up for RE5

How much Russian are the devs of this? I see them referred to everywhere as a Russian game studio but their own site says they were founded in Cyprus. Lot of cyrillic in their studio photos though.

They are a Russian studio with their headquarters in Cyprus, probably because exporting things from Russia is ... you know.

also, this is from wikipedia:

Controversy

In January 2019, a report was published on gaming forum ResetEra that cited anonymous sources within Mundfish who reported about mass layoffs and incompetency at the studio.[3][12][13] The report stated that development had been rebooted as of August 2018, and it resulted in a gameplay downgrade.

In November 2022 a report was published on gaming forum ResetEra that cited an article on DTF.ru published on October 17, 2022, by Andrey Apanasik who reported crunch, bad management, no milestones set, reboots, multiple prototypes, feature creep, high turnover rate.[14][15][16]

RE5 and RE6 are direct responses to the market veering sharply into copying RE4's homework and the necessity to keep escalating the spectacle in order to keep pace with those changing trends

i'd argue we would not have gotten a game as phenomenally good as RE7 if RE5/6 hadn't pushed RE into as much of a franchise death spiral as they did. RE7 is only possible if you realize as a company that you're dangling by your fingernails, and so they gave nakanishi and his team total creative freedom and an incredible inhouse engine, and the result is arguably one of the best survival horror titles ever

RE5 is great fun with a friend and really replayable once you get your guns fully upgraded. RE6 is an absolute tire fire, but somehow gets way more fun the more time you put into it.

They were decent, but yeah the shift backwards in complexity with RE7 is exactly what they needed to do with the series.
