Far as I'm concerned at this point the ending of ep 2 is the ending and HL just happens to have the saddest, most hopeless finale in all of video games
I mean Episode 3's ending was going to be even more hopelessly bleak; The Combine Empire is so vast and powerful that The Borealis is just like shooting a spitwad at a tank and Gordon has no hope of defeating them.

Valve wrote themselves into a corner with The Combine, they made them way too powerful a threat in a setting where the only way they could have been feasibly defeated is by complete asspull.

The Longest Journey has incredible music. I never played the sequel games, tempted to though since I'm sure my laptop can actually run them now as they're like a decade old at this point.
Dreamfall is really great and Chapters, while the weakest of the three, is still quite good and gives the series the ending it needed.

TLJ is absolutely fantastic, I love it with all my heart.

EA should say gently caress it and just have this new idiot battle royale be the moneymaker while they reinvest into Dead Space.

There was recently an Ars Technica "war stories" video on the making of Dead Space that is excellent, and it's now the highest-viewed vid on the channel at 3 million views. I think the audience is there for it, especially with how well RE2 is doing.

Here's the vid btw because it owns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ3iqq49Ew8

The ironic thing with Hollywood video game adaptions is they barely ever adapt games that could actually really work as movies.

Like Grim Fandango could make for an amazing animated movie and you could fit the whole story into one standalone film.

Layoffs are completely alien to me. I just don't understand how you can call someone at the end of the day saying not to come into work tomorrow. How is that poo poo not illegal? If it's a requirement that you have to give someone 30-60 days notice before an eviction, the same requirement should be in place for layoffs.

e: So the WARN act does require 60 days prior to layoffs but it's only for "massive layoffs" which is defined as an absurdly high 33% minimum. It should be federally mandated two weeks minimum and I would vote for anyone running on that platform.
I assume you ain't American, because yeah, we're a capitalist hellscape; the Cold War and Reagan made sure of that.

Probably something to do with having a two party system in which both parties are more right wing than... Most right wing parties.

The UK is hosed in a million ways but it's amazing how resistant the US is to giving its citizens even the most basic human rights.
We were founded by a bunch of rich white male slaveowners that only wanted to give rich white male landowners rights; we're working by design.

Also I hope Psychonauts 2 will be good. I didn't back it, but I will buy it Day 1 if its good.

What are some good videogame romances? There have to be at least a handful by now. I think Farah and the Prince had a pretty good thing going in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, even if the sequels shot it to hell.

Yuri and Alice (Shadow Hearts)
Mo and Ben (Full Throttle)
Geralt and Yen (Witcher)
JJ and Emily (The Missing)
Doomguy and the BFG 9000 (Doom)

Wait what did the persona guy do?
He's a big homophobe/transphobe. The new Catherine remake has an ending that pretty much states that Erica, a fully transitioned straight transwoman, would be better off if she was a cis gay man. Not to mention the stuff that was already in the original Catherine and all the gay panic in the Persona games since 3.

Time really has been cooling my love of Persona 4.

Yakuza can be magical realist at times (Like cursed videotape ghosts being real), but I really wouldn't call it outright urban fantasy. Also you're not really managing Kiryu, Majima, or any of the other protags' lives.
