Similarly, 2 was my first Uncharted, which I played partway through at a friend’s. When I got my own PS3 I decided to start back at 1 and found it did a much better job of teaching me how to play the game than 2 did. When I went back to 2 after finishing 1, everything I had trouble with was so much easier, and it was really need to see the jump in graphics between the games.

The Ghoul definitely picked Bloody Mess as one of his perks.

I’m glad they kept the ridiculousness. They could have made it super serious and edgy, and I don’t think it would have fit as well.

Weird. I really enjoyed it. Loved the characters, liked the story, and all the little nods to the games and fandom were nice and didn’t feel out of place. Probably one of the better adaptations I’ve seen.

Paramount doesn’t even want Prodigy on their own streaming service, I have no idea what they’re doing with the franchise…

Kelvinverse was different from the Prime timeline before the Narada arrived because people past that point might not travel backwards in time the same way they would have without intervention.

Didn’t I read in another thread that Tencent owns Larian? Didn’t they just win, like, every game award ever in 2023?

Picked up Another Code Recollection. Never played the original on the 3DS, and I’m really enjoying it.

Lots of companies “accidentally” including artificially generated works in their games/books/ads lately.

They probably pre-write the apologies.

Season 3 worked because of the ensemble cast, though. The first two where it was “Picard and Friends” felt weird, and not like what anyone really wanted, and if this is another “Just Picard” thing it’s likely to end up the same.

Yeah. Getting out of physical media now, as every streaming service is hitting peak enshittification, is such a wild choice for Best Buy to be making, it has to have been handed to them by people trying to keep people on streaming. Now is the time to be making a killing in physical media.

Ah, so this is where they’re pivoting after getting away from NFTs.

One of those things that can be kind of rude to imply, and only really works retrospectively.

Seriously. At the end of the day it’s the players who decide whether a game is good or fun. They might not understand the nuances of what went into creating a game they don’t find fun, but that doesn’t make them wrong.

Old Gods of Asgard live was amazing, and Alan Wake 2 NG+ next Monday, which is huge (for reasons I won’t explain, y’alls will just have to play the game).

I had other things to say but I’m too excited about that, so I’m going to bed.

Final Fantasy XVI's Active Time Lore. Being able to pause the game and have a list of relevant characters, places, and concepts for the scene you're in is so helpful for my ADHD, for when I take a break from a game and come back not knowing what's going on. I want to see this in every story heavy game.

Now that games are basically $100 after taxes (Canadian) I have to be a lot more selective of which games I buy.

Actually, I’ve been buying more indie games than ever.

By the end of its life, though, more than 3/4 of each page on the 360 Home Screen was advertisements, with the remaining 1/4 being buttons you could use to get to actual content.

Military spending is over a trillion, right? They could fund this with a rounding error.

Yeah, and aside from less expensive indies I’ve bought fewer new games than ever this year.
