As far as I’m aware it’s like standalone in the sense that it’s separate from the main game, like you access it through the menu.

And my question is more, what incentive does the player have for playing this before the base game.

This doesn’t really make much sense to me, why wouldn’t you play through the game before touching the DLC?

Thing is, most of the discussion online is guided by reviews from major publications. If someone like SkillUp says the game is good then there will generally be a positive discussion about that game. Personally, I haven’t played it nor do I ever really plan on playing it. Something about it just doesn’t catch me eye the way certain games do, I feel like I’d have a similar experience to you if I did play it.

With the state of the world rn, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that was the case.

Ahh, that I’m not aware of.

Some NSFW games have been reindexed, yes however they are still going through and deciding which ones abide by their policies.

You sounds like an asshole, but you’re partially right. Speaking of the people who buy FIFA every year without as much of a second thought. They people who very casually just buy into games they have a passing interest in.

But I’m not so sure that crowd makes up a majority anymore.

As we had all feared. Now that we know this for certain, I wonder what other nasty tricks The Chinese Room will try to pull with this game…

Good. I mean, who does this? You’re selling flight tickets before the plane is even built. At least wait until the game is released to gage if players even want a DLC.

Even still, you’ve shown your hand. Now players think that you were sectioning off development of certain aspects of a game to then later sell off for extra cash instead of focusing on releasing a fully built game. Terrible mistake.

I was going to say the same thing. I noticed it with the new Busby game, I hope they find a lot of success are are able to bring that retro game design back to the forefront.

Fr? That makes a lot of sense actually.

They keep swinging and they keep hitting man, good for Hello Games, they turned a sinking ship around. Now if only the rest of the games industry could do the same.

They’re doing their part to protect NSFW game creators, I think that’s a great thing.

This is the easy answer, but the industry won’t do it.

Just spent the last 2 days 100% Sword of the Sea. I highly recommend giving the game a shot.

Fuckin guy, completed his little car collection and dipped after leaving Bungie in a worse state than it’s ever been.

Funny you mention it, I’ve always wanted to get into Ni no Kuni but just could never spare the time.

Hahaha yeah. Man it seems like the further we walk in one direction the further we walk away from another.

I mean like, we’ve got so many fresh and new experiences to make our lives easier and happier, but every step we take it feels like we forget the old ones, and instead we learn new things to make us unhappy. Why can’t we make progress without losing it, or making it more complicated for ourselves?

It’s really happening. Next, Valve is going to announce third installments for their franchises.

People who play video games and watch movies are happier in life, and this is news to who exactly?

People are happier in life when they play games and watch movies, who would’ve thought.

Rip, at least we still have Judas.

So it isn’t an immersive sim, there could still be some strong elements of role play involved in terms of dialogue decisions. I’m hoping for the best.

It was just Hardsuit and The Chinese Room, until hardsuit was eventually removed from the project. The game did however get delayed a handful of times. Let’s just hope that whatever concept they have of the game now is strong enough to ship this time.

Didn’t we already know this?

I agree, release Gravity Rush on PC!

Tried out The First Descendant for the first time since launch. Since then I’ve upgraded my PC and no longer have the insane performance issues I had back then. Truthfully I reinstalled for the Nier stuff, but when I found out that it only comes as a $70 bundle I immediately uninstalled. There’s no reason a company should sell a few skins for a price like that even if the game is free to play. What baffles me even more is the idea that there are genuine players out there who aren’t rich who’ve actually purchased the pack. Especially given the fact that there are so many other ways out there to see 2B. Actually insanity to me.

Haven’t had time to play much else this week.

Watched this one a few days ago, the editing is hypnotic.

Hey! Happy to find someone that’s enjoyed it too! It really is a fun game. The atmosphere is what gets me most I think.

It’s just the context and the way he said it.

🙄

I really hope not. Though in saying that, I’ll probably wait for the PC drop anyways.

But do we reeeeeaally trust them? Don’t get me wrong, I like them for their analysis games, but I just really don’t like when they put up opinion pieces about games, like I still remember that comment about Stellar Blade being a gooner game. Maybe if they tried it, they’d have seen more than just the surface level stuff in the game. Not to mention the Cyberpunk review that they took down saying that the game ran fine at 1080p (unstable)30fps, as if the standard wasn’t already 60fps at the time, not to mention that they tried to gaslight people into saying the game wasn’t as buggy as people were claiming.

I don’t watch their videos because of stuff like that. But good for them going independant, that’s always good when you can safely support yourself financially.

Cool, I should definitely go back and try to play that series, I’ve always been entranced by the jet black suits of armor and the glowing red goggles. It reminds me a lot of Jin-Roh. Such a cool aesthetic.

Love emulating games! I need to remake my library on my new PC.

I remember I watched ChristopherOdd play Dome Keeper for months, that game is so satisfying and chill.

Mam, I really should have got into the Killzone franchise when I was younger. Always grew up with playstations, but never bought any of those games, how’s Shadow Fall been so far?

If you get a chance, you should definitely check out Kinetica for the PS2 if you can get your hands on it, a great racing game and perfect for couch co-op!

I need to take another look at that game. I loved the narrative design, and I thought the world was interesting, but I got stuck and lost and didn’t know how to get past the bouncer dude.

PEAK with friends, otherwise, grinding through Marvel Rivals ranked, and keeping up with Nikke. I was also getting through FF16, but put that down for a little.
