The 7th Guest posted:wait until you get outside and the cameras regenerate after 30 seconds though!! (or i guess don't, since you are uninstalling lol) Yeah, this is the part where I've lost all patience with this game. The cameras respawn, the enemies respawn, you can go take out the local security system...but that respawns too! It's like someone's grand idea to update Bioshock was to make the gameplay match the misery of the setting. In other words, it's the perfect game for gamepass.

Honestly the AI is so rock dumb that if you shoot the cameras you can walk around unmolested in most cases.

All I can say is use your powers. Get telekinesis slam and upgrade shok and you can just wreck the robots. Just duck into houses loot and keep going. I played it more run and gun and made it through easy enough.

Marvel's Midnight Suns kind of reminds me of Mass Effect but with way more interesting combat. Edit: also you cannot gently caress Dr Strange

That section is like a 10 minute pit stop to the next area you’re not supposed to hang out there. I should have specified; I'm at the Expo area after Lesnaya train station, not the initial outdoors training area.

I have heard from social media this week that the quality of a game is determined by the game size, so every modern 2D game is just an abomination! This also makes Hitman 2 a far better game than Hitman 3. They really messed up by optimizing their data files, what an embarrassment!

I forgot that HITMAN did that compression optimization to get 3 full games worth of content + DLCs to like 60GB. Game of the decade.

My favorite optimization failure was buying the Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga triple pack in some sale and realizing in horror that they were a loving gigabyte apiece.

It is a weird attribute of some of these older games, though, depending on how "authentically" you play them you can wind up with artwork resource files that are exponentially larger than the original game ROM, like Vectrex ROMs are 8 kilobytes but you can get scans of the plastic overlays every game came with and are like a meg in size each. And some arcade games get really weird with it by having little analog audio devices built into the cabinet and stuff like that, which technically aren't in the ROM chips (just instructions of commands to send to the device in question).

ill be honest i didn't read the tweet but I am unsurprised by a games journalist not getting the themes of the game even though they're obvious in the first few minutes and also that the Soviet union and the Russian federation are wildly different governments lol. it's like talking about the influence of Crown appointed governors on modern America.

I think someone described Atomic Heart's main literary inspiration being those Russian novels where a gamer travels back in time to replace Stalin as leader of the USSR and defeat the Nazis even harder, and I think that about sums it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-7u3C-y0Mo

As a gamer, if I could travel back in time, I would go back to the 70s when Pong first came out and play it. I always wanted to try one of the original cabinets but I've never seen one around.

The paddles on original Pong are freakin' tiny, I wonder how hard it was. An arcade near me has a Super Breakout (1978). It's got this huge mechanical game mode selector knob on it that goes k-CHONK every time you turn it. It's cool.
