Fractured Blooms i remember seeing the announcement for. I remember Serenity Forge got into a bit of hot water for calling it something along the lines of “DDLC meets Silent Hill”. Otherwise though it seemed like an interesting concept
Yeah, connecting Fractured Blooms to DDLC is a bit of a stretch. The only connection I can see would be the voices Angie gets in her head. The best way I would describe it would be Animal Crossing meets SCP Foundation.
Haven’t played ‘Max Payne’ in twenty years, completely forgot what it looks like in-game, and still the first thought from the screenshot was “Max Payne”.
Dunno about the artstyle: a lot of 90s to early-2000s 3d shooters had that grimy look, perhaps to show off the textures. But the jacket and the casually lowered gun definitely factored into the recognition.
I might be a bit biased too with the art style. My first playthrough was only last year and it’s really stuck with me. But yeah, the jacket and gun are definitely factors
Oh crap. Reminds me that for some reason or other (Mostly just time issues I guess, and because dualbooting Windows was pain I guess) I never completed Max Payne 2. As a giant fan of the first game I loved it.
Wonder if I need to go dig out the discs. Wait wait what, I already have MP1&2 on Steam? How? When did I get them? Never mind. Hope these aren’t a massive headache to get running
I was able to get it running on Linux pretty easily. There’s some issues with widescreen (stretching) there’s an easy fix with that using the WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“d3d8=n,b” command and a patch though (or you can put up with it like i did for my first playthrough)
It sucks when this happens in primarily PVE games too (looking at you warframe), classes go from feeling unique and having roles in a party to all being able to do everything equally effectively and becoming hemogenous.
Still waiting for the full release before buying/playing it. I tend to burn myself out on Early Access games before they are finished, never returning for 1.0.
I often agree with this, though for Death Trash given the slow pace of major updates I figured I’d just jump in. It only took me about 10 hours to beat the main content, and a few more hours poking around to feel finished with the game. This isn’t something like Zomboid with a big sandbox element to sink hours and hours into.
Honestly, at the pace it’s being updated I don’t know if it will get a huge proper ending.
On launch it was quite “difficult” in that good gear was rare (and why wouldn’t you sell a good piece of gear for 20 bucks instead of using it), and the damage being very one-shotty on higher difficulties.
Yeah I remember the travesty of that game at launch. Competent gameplay hamstrung by devs leaving room for their micro transactions. But, you didn’t need to spend real money. You could grind for 20+ hours with pitiful low magic time until you find something mildly better or sell the good items you do have on the auction house to try and close loop to get better stuff.
I played it for a while when it cane out, but I’ll also wait until its done, so I can actually finish the story. Too bad its taking this long, but the game and story were fun, so I’ll be patient
