dinckelman,

Not unexpected, but sad. Hope they make it. ELEX is a mess, but there is definitely still hope

Schaedelbach,

Aw man… I know that Elex has problems and stuff but it is and always will be one of my all-time favorite open world games. It’s probably the insane mix of science fiction stuff mixed with Mad Max style stuff mixed with fantasy stuff. It’s definitely a game done by people who really cared! And if they have to shut down, the gaming landscape will lose a unique voice!

Working my way through the side quests and finally getting near completion, excited to see this DLC!!

Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression...

I'm dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford's likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

Cautiously optimistic.

Zworf,

The voice isn’t quite right :( I wish they’d have Harrison ford for the voice at least.

Great. More plastic video games.

100% stealthy, or 40% stealthy, 40% whip crackin’, 20% puzzle solving, and 100% Nazi punching?

Nazi punchin’ better be in there. It’s his signature move.

DdCno1,

I like that they timed the Nazi punching in the trailer to the beat of the iconic soundtrack.

It’s the team that made Wolfenstein so I’d say there’s a good chance of it. They’re very good at Nazi punching games.

Maybe it’s a strong case of nostalgia but a first person Indiana Jones game doesn’t feel right. But on the flip side, if it was a true third person game, people would complain that it’s a clone of Uncharted and Tomb Raider despite Indy being the original.

I have mixed feelings which make me happy as I don’t have an Xbox. 😁

ConstableJelly,

Exact same reaction. First person feels so inappropriate for this property that I immediately assumed comparisons to Uncharted and Tomb Raider must have been a, if not the, major contributing factor to going first person.

First person perspective blurs the line between player and character for a specific type of immersion (when done well). An Indiana Jones game should be all about playing as motherfucking Indiana Jones, no blurred lines necessary. His stature and costume is integral to the formula that makes him iconic, and without them, the gameplay segments of this trailer make it look like Far Cry: The 80s Adventure Serial.

The fact the Nazis are involved is obviously very cool considering it’s Indiana Jones but you can’t help (well me anyway) thinking that it is quite Wolfenstein-y.

By the people who made the new Wolfenstein games.

belated_frog_pants, do gaming w Dave The Diver studio's next game is a team-based PvP arena battler

Yaaaawn. Lemme guess, full of ai bullshit and micro transactions and will be taken off line 9 months after release.

Meh. Don’t we have enough of those in the world? I wish they would stick with making charming, simple, relaxing games.

Ooh it sounds like it has great potential, once the bugs are ironed out!

icerunner_origin, do gaming w Dave The Diver studio's next game is a team-based PvP arena battler

Oh good! We don’t have anywhere near enough of those.

DdCno1, do gaming w War Hospital, out now, is a tug-of-war between empathy and efficiency

It seems interesting, but based on the Steam reviews, it’s apparently a buggy mess.

petrescatraian, (edited )

@DdCno1 I see. I haven't encountered any bugs, but based on my experience, it is rather hard.

Edit: I first thought that this comment was a reply to my comment, lol.

Jesus Christ, as if it makes people buy the wrong game by accident… 😂

petrescatraian, do gaming w War Hospital, out now, is a tug-of-war between empathy and efficiency

@alyaza Interesting game, will definitely put it on my wishlist. Seems a bit similar to This War of Mine, where you play as a group of civilians which have to survive as much as possible stuck in a besieged city.

pbjamm,

This War of Mine is a good game, but I found it too bleak to keep playing. I am sure that is part of the point, but I usually play games as a form of escapism.

DdCno1,

You have to break into the apartment of an elderly couple very early into the game. I remember the man reacting to the break in, defending himself and his wife. His death made me feel so terrible (which is the intent of the game, of course) that I put the game down.

petrescatraian,

@DdCno1
I broke into their apartment without fighting them. Just hid from them and stole whatever I could. The next day, the news broke out that raids have started and basically nobody was safe anymore, and I kept losing things.

I died fighting someone with fists against a shotgun.
