too late I already bought and finished it!!! Actually I do agree you had to rely on the time powers a little too much for regular enemies and in the final (final) area I found myself just running past some of them but it's a cool gimmick and the bosses were v fun even if I only recognised two of them. Only thing is I found that sword weapon and using it on the last three bosses almost felt like cheating idk

I am kind of curious how much of a difference it makes in the flandre fight if you had spent lots of money at the shop/I never sold any of my gems since none the items seemed worth it

the sword is op but i think i ended up going back to the chainsaw as my go-to. but yeah i also never bought anything so idk! probably not though

I am not sure I fully understand. Stealing money, and lying to investors? From who, and lying about what? On the surface this doesn't sound too bad? But I feel like I am missing something really important. It's weird to read about fraud coming from people who put out an extremely successful video game, because usually fraud and putting out a product at all don't go hand in hand. See literally every MMORPG crowdfund. I was expecting some Blizzard/Activision levels of bad or something.

the people who put up the original money to fund the creation of the game included a literal convicted fraudster. these people saw how successful it was and went for the money which obviously clashed with Kurvitz and the others who got forced out as a result

most certainly means we're never getting an english translation of his book if it was ever happening anyway

If you don't find it funny that the game that criticizes capitals ability to subsume criticism of it into itself and sell it back to you, having its own criticism subsumed and sold back in the form of an Amazon TV show while gutting the heart of the company, you should probably clean out your humor glands

I think it may actually be the worst SH game, and I played both homecoming and the PSVita diablo-like. It's just so drat grey and boring.

it's genuinely funny and also, sadly, a practical inevitability after how popular it got, unless the entire IP was owned solely by the greatest saints of the 21st century

it's another great irony of art under capitalism that the only people who can afford to keep their morals steadfast in the face of commercial pressures are the already wealthy

They should have simply gotten their founding from the honest investors who cared about artistic integrity over profits. Weird they didn't think of this

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

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


Now that DE has finally been wrested from the hands of some limp-wristed euro commies we can finally get some cool stuff, like Hat DLC or a Twitch emote pack.

Just had a really good mission in MGS V. Snuck in to destroy some satellite dishes, and right when I detonated them and put the enemy base into alert phase, a sandstorm hit and I was able to easily sneak out with no one the wiser. Love it.
