My question would be : are XT clones conditioned exactly the same? Because if so, XT-23 is lying. They do enjoy doing this shit and they’ve all been jerks since XT-1.

I’ve played Tales of Monkey Island. If you’ve played Telltale’s version of Sam and Max, it’s pretty much the same kind of take. Probably suffers quite a bit from the episodic format, and puzzles are a bit straightforward compared to classic monkey island games. Fans of the series mostly consider it a huge letdown.

Can’t say anything about the more serious parts of the Telltale catalogue, I’ve never played those, but for having played this, the 3 Sam & Max seasons and Back to the Future, there was certainly a Telltale formula that started annoying me after a while. They went less and less subtle about crafting their dialogues so they all lead to the same answer, they clearly wrote their stories with an objective to reuse character models and assets, and they still used that in-house engine that looked and controlled terribly, barely improved through the years.

Maybe it’s because I played them too late, but while I mostly had a blast playing HL2, the first one never clicked for me.

I know, it’s been very influential and new when it released, but it was still quite straight a FPS game. Whereas HL2 is like a crazy theme park of different ambiences and mechanics.

Yeah, it’s probably terrifying at first.

I’m sure they’d get used to it though, almost any kind of riding/driving a vehicle is going against all your preservation instincts when it’s the first time you do it.

What, are you saying we shouldn’t build the Torment Nexus as envisioned in sci-fi classic ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus’?

Je connaissais pas le personnage du coup je suis allé voir la première vidéo Mindliar.

Glauque. Le mensonge sur sa carrière c’est une chose mais la partie sur son association de victime et les bouquins de charognard qu’il a publié, c’est dégueulasse.

Okay, that looks pretty cool.

Le culot de dire “faut pas creuser la différence entre les élites et nos concitoyens” juste après avoir suggéré que Le Pen est trop importante pour ête condamnée par la justice.

I remember the sense of Pride and Accomplishment everyone got from that game back then.

Also every Jarl in Skyrim. Or your own character, if you try sitting on their thrones.

I’ve always found that pose quite funny.

Sakuna, of Rice and Ruins is about a goddess in a fictional but very shinto-adjacent religion in a country not quite, but not entirely unlike Japan. She’s the daughter of her pantheon’s God of War and Goddess of Harvests. She bashes monster heads and she sows rice, and both are important.

Fun and light-hearted, with a small cast of quirky likeable characters.

YouTube pushes whatever format feels popular to them at the time, like when they started giving absurd weight to shorts.

Even content creators that pretty much only do long, focussed videos started to hack useless bits of them to put in shorts as an aside, just because the algorithm would make their channel basically invisible without a few of them.

And then of course YouTube will prioritize those in all feeds, even if you’re watching on a fucking TV app.

If youtube starts the same kind of shit with vertical streaming, you can be sure they’re going to pop everywhere, no matter how fitting the format is.

General opinion seems to be this is definitely a game.

So now their solution to the whole “don’t you guys have phone?” situation is to keep designing for mobile but port those everywhere.

I think I’ll keep not giving a shit, thank you very much.

Warner Bros is trying way too hard at this multiverse thing.

They must be right that it’s hard to be discovered because as a new quest 3 owner I don’t find a lot, and what I find I can almost never get reliable reviews of.

I am not interested at all in the social aspect, so meta’s horizon spam does annoy me a lot. To give you an idea, Splatoon and Mario Kart is basically the highest level of people interaction I can stand in my games, impersonal, mute, “wave quickly to random guys and just play some game”.

Beyond that, I mostly want single player with replayability, not 10 minute experiences. I have quite a few rhythm games (this genre is well-represented at least). Other kinds of arcade-y stuff would be fine too.

I’d love more creative games, I have No Man’s Sky and it’s great, but building is not its forte. I’ve played flat Minecraft, a lot, at that point I’d like less cubes and pixels.

Dreams would be the thing I’d… dream of. I had it, on an old PS4. Unfortunately, it’s dead and stuck on Sony platforms.

They did say that GOG didn’t mean “Good Old Games” anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them…

They’d be crazy to stop that. As you said, it’s one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.

Cool declaration of intent, and they definitely do a lot for tweaking and packaging old games so they’re in a playable state.

But it’s a bit amusing to see The Witcher in there. I mean, yeah, I certainly hope you’re maintaining that one.

Isn’t that the wreck of a port with botched controls, horribly misshapen characters and “enhanced” textures that misspelled environmental text everywhere? Occasionally completely missing jokes by doing so?

Was it supposed to be fixed in any way at some point?

“Eh, mais attend une minute, c’est ça que ça voulait dire en fait?”
