botw and totk are great games to play for like 20-30 minutes and you achieve between 1 and 3 shrines/quests/whatever and then turn it off and because there are about 10,000 things to do it is a game you can play for several years.

like a picross game where you play 1-2 levels on the subway or candy crush or whatever. it's not meant to be completed, not really

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

diablo 4 being an okay not great not terrible game was the best possible outcome because nobody is happy

Some celestial event. No- no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should have sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful... I had no idea

i saw an ad for diablo 4 all about the story and it was like 12 minutes long? i like story heavy games but i don't need this from diablo, just say hell is invading and i need to go kill demons. maybe throw a few fun characters to talk to in towns it doesn't have to be complicated

Spoilering this Signalis post because someone else in the thread is playing it. Late-game.

The fake credits totally tricked me and I was pretty disappointed, thinking it was time to hop online and read people's theories about the story's abstractions, also thinking the game gives you much more weaponry than you need. And then it even takes you back to the start screen and main menu before pulling you back in!

Amazing!


I've played this all drat day and night and am only stopping because I'm too sleepy but I'm excited to finish it tomorrow.

I finished it today and feel satisfied. Apparently there are multiple endings depending on your playstyle, plus a secret one you have to unlock on a second playthrough? But I feel like it put a bow on everything well enough to leave it be.

The story is supposed to be open to interpretation I reckon, there's various paths it could take between "everything is real and its a time loop and somehow the robot teleports to another planet" to "nothing is real and it was all Alina's dream." The cancer metaphor sticks out pretty hard so I gotta favor "dying dreams of irradiated psychic cancer woman" for most of what happens.
