One of the epilogues in Unity literally says that without the Emissary and the Hunter everyone is free to enter it after you. It's just those two morons gatekeeping the entire universe.

finished AC6 on NG++. never played an AC game before and honestly the old ones sound too tedious for me, but this game kicked rear end. as much as I liked it there's no chance I'm going for S ranks.

The so called "true ending" kinda sucked. it never feels like there's a real reason to go with allmind other than "they're doing something spooky, it might be cool". you don't even know what walter and carla are up to atthat point so it's not like you're choosing against the fires. having the fail pilot as the final boss was also anticlimactic and that fight sucked rear end. also did I miss something or did all the new NG++ PCA chatter about the real raven didn't go anywhere?

The liberator ending was my favorite, the team up with rusty was awesome, and fighting walter's husk on a crashing ship was the coolest final boss (though the easiest, ayre :argh:)

why do the cutscenes in Mortal Kombat games always edit around the violence like its a PG-13 movie. they’ll have like a dude getting his throat slit in a cutscene and every single time they will cut away from it to keep you from seeing even a single drop of blood. meanwhile the fatalities are like “okay, are there any organs we haven’t shown spilling out onto the floor yet?”

You can have colored hair or something. Idk people are stupid and online discourse is bad
it really is remarkable just how easy it is to get free corpo media marketing by getting your unpaid intern t slipping out a few 'culture war' poo poo on twitter & youtube. be it movies/tv or games. Games will line up to defend something they haven't played just because "the chuds hate it!! / its only getting bad reviews because of the chuds!!!". or any other generic Marvel manchild slop, e.g. eternals or ms marvel or whatever.

it's really exhausting and bad

You'd think so but the cheap stuff they pick up for (what is to them) pocket change includes a ton of bangers and gems, and I don't think there's any gacha or super predatory stuff if only because MS isn't of the opinion that they spent good money to bring customers to that storefront only to turn them into somebody else's whales.

Celeste, Chained Echoes, Chicory, Citizen Sleeper, CK3, Crimson Skies, Call of the Wild, Chiv 2, and Cities Skylines (and 2 will be GP on launch) and that's just one letter of the alphabet.

It's got real flaws but selection isn't going to be one until Sony is destroyed one way or another and GamePass becomes a profit center instead of market expander.

chicory is super fun

it goes into backstory stuff that doesn't go anywhere. raven is one of branch's members/their leader or something. they attacked one of the pca's satellites to hack it and then leaked that there's coral on rubicon. there's no explanation as to why. you also kill all of them when they decide to start doing war crimes because they're mad that 621 stole raven's user name and they think the RLF will hire the player character to stop them. they say some poo poo about freedom while surrounded by people they killed for basically no reason (who were the ones fighting to free the planet) and then they die and that's the end of branch's presence in the story lol

Sounds like they don't want to be bothered rendering/animating them twice for the countries that force them to edit out the gore

Question for physics heads: Recoil sending you backwards in Zero G is very cool. Would the rotating mass of the barrels of a mini gun cause you to spin around on its axis?

it would definitely exert a torque on you, causing you to rotate, but the axis of rotation would be very math-y and complicated and not constant
