Gaius Marius posted: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 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

GiantRockFromSpace posted:Remakes of forgotten jewels of the SNES to PS2 era are fine. "remake" to me implies reviving something old and haggard and giving it a fresh coat of paint, this is literally just porting HZD to the updated HFW engine with some upscaled textures and is absolutely not worth the title nor money for anyone who already bought the thing i'm not a "graphics don't matter" guy but, at the same time, this poo poo is basically a placebo upgrade, and i could practically guarantee that people wouldn't be able to guess a blind HZD vs. "remastered" version test at anything better than chance

Jay Rust posted:Idk if looking at Sony floundering atm is enough proof that multi platform inherently loses money, regardless of which I will admit I do not and cannot care about the economics, all I see is more games being made available to me and other “gamers”, and this is good, because video games are art. the relevant point is that the economics of having to appeal to a broader cross-section of consumers to justify the multi-platform model means that there's a higher potential for said art to get diluted or shorn of risk, since you have to make the game hit big on each individual platform for the economics of multi-platform development and marketing to make sense there's obviously a good amount of overlap in preferences amongst platforms, but you still have to reckon with the fact that the kind of games a switch owner favors are likely going to be different than an xbox or PS5 owner, and the constraints of each platform (in terms of available horsepower, what kind of input methods you have available, etc.) will necessarily limit your overall design

Walla posted:Apparently acetaminophen (Tylenol) can make you autistic now? That's what the shady lawyer on the radio told me. there's was a big to-do last year after a review of research studies came out that supposedly linked acetaminophen intake during pregnancy to alterations in fetal development, although, as is usually the case, questions were raised as to how the review was conducted and how many actual big conclusions can be scientifically drawn from it even if it were the case i doubt it would change recommendations much, because it's not like any other pain drug on the market has a better safety profile than acetaminophen, and telling pregnant mothers "just grin and bear it" isn't really a sustainable healthcare strategy

Walla posted:Sometimes I think my son and I may be, there's too many similar indicators between autism and adhd to be completely sure. so much so that the entire reason i got my autism diagnosis was because the ADHD clinic i got sent to had a perceptive inpatient psych who wrote up a referral i think the more common differentiation comes from social dimensions - ADHD kids tend to be excessively social to a point other kids find overwhelming, whereas autistic kids are withdrawn and aloof - and that ADHD usually hews more to externalizing rather than internalizing (re: anxiety/depression), but it's a muddy field to wade through and is rarely so cut and dry

OW2 pharah has nearly identical amounts of two main colors layered on in a way that makes your eyes cross, which helps neither read hierarchy nor visual appeal

you don't have to give movie mario an accent thicker than bolognese but just having christ pratt doing a normal rear end chris pratt voice is the laziest and safest route they could've gone the fact that it seems like every dub on the planet told their VAs to squeeze in some of martinet's signature rhythms and tones makes me think it's just some uniquely americabrained pathology, like no one will see an animated film in the states if the main character isn't being voiced by someone who's recognizably making $50m+ a year

initial scorn impression: it's very solid for what it is, which is a walking sim with occasional puzzles and some light gunplay. the real star of the show is, of course, the environment, which is an incredible fusion of geiger's biomechanical style and beksinski's monolithic nightmare landscapes, and this is all heightened by them relying entirely on environmental storytelling without a single bit of dialogue or text logs to guide you along. this does occasionally lead to some "what the gently caress am i supposed to do" moments, but it's linear enough of an experience that you're not expected to dramatically backtrack or rely on distant elements to solve the self-contained puzzles if you want a spooky halloween title, definitely pick this one up

Sakurazuka posted:It's pretty much the perfect Gamepass game, a ~5 hour 'experience' that I would probably have balked at paying money to own but will happy play for the monthly sub. yeah, i would definitely recommend it for gamepass - it's solid for what it is, but it's mostly a very pretty romp without a ton of gameplay as-is to speak of. the middle section of the game is the part that i think got the most polish and refinement, since it's what got shown in all the trailers, but it's also the only stretch of real "gameplay" as such aside from a single (frankly kinda bad) boss near the end it's also a game that feels almost deliberately designed to be so obscuritan that only youtube lore channels will have anything approaching a clear picture of what's going on, possibly to generate more interest in the game in the long term

Infinitum posted:That's sorta a bummer in a way cause it looked like it had been presented as H.R. Giger Does Doom most of the trailers, at least from like 2020 onwards, showcased the gunplay as being very slow compared to an average FPS, and that made its way into the main game. it's mostly more about tactical resource management, although you'll generally have enough ammo to blast through probably 90% of the things in the game without issue i get the impression that they'd planned to do more with it before they ran out of money and time, as the gunplay feels weirdly vestigial with the overall length of the game. you get your 4th weapon very late in the game and only use it to solve a couple puzzles and on a single enemy Vermain fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Oct 15, 2022 |
