Most game media/advertising/reviewing is garbage and cannot be trusted. I play games that look fun. I have a particular definition of fun specific to me alone. I’ll watch actual gameplay to decide if it looks fun to me. I might watch technical reviews and benchmarks that tell me if my hardware will be able to play it. IDGAF what culture war moralizing poop that some idiots want to headline it with and babble about to get views on their articles and channels.
I don’t think Stellar Blade looks like the kind of fun I personally enjoy so I’m going to pass, but I’m not going to judge or shame anyone who’s enjoying the fuck out of it because there’s nothing to shame. It’s a game. It’s made to be played and be fun for people to play. Have fun. Don’t worry about the drama storms. They’re pointless and devoid of meaning.
I was accepted into the test of this game. I don’t play Siege at all anymore, but was excited to see their “fixed” audio in action, and the new game mode with limited operators seemed fun and fresh.
The audio was considerably worse. Sound literally was unable to go through doorways and windows.
I also noticed when spectating that like >1/2 of players would die from getting shot in the back. Like completely oblivious someone else was nearby. Then I realized basically no one could hear anything, like at all. We couldn’t hear gadgets, glass breaking, barriers being thrown up or torn down, foot steps; just faint gunshots if they were only one room away.
I hate gambling, but if possible I’d consider betting big $ it’s not fixed, at all.
I haven't played Siege in ages, so I wonder if this big overhaul update is worth trying again. The game is also free to play outside of ranked modes which is nice.
that’s one of the things they underlined in the direct. they seem to be more interesting in general. klepto for example lets you sell things you’ve stolen for more money but every now and then you auto steal stuff you look at, which can get you in trouble.
Conceptually it could be fun. Although I feel the (ridiculously expensive) fakeout all night meant we all thought this was Parasite Eve and RE9 is just a letdown after that.
Hopefully she becomes a MC real fast because I apparently have visceral reactions to the trope of “barely functional analyst girl”. At best it is annoying. More commonly it is thinly veiled misogyny and fetish bullshit.
Wu-Tang’s latest music video is just AI slop. I’m not gonna buy anything Wu-Tang related if they aren’t willing to pay for real artists and workers to make their music video.
“Modern retro” games are such a vibe. All the charm of retro games but without the clunk. I played Skald: Against the Black Priory earlier this year and loved it and this looks amazing too.
I really like this angle of the story. Re series is my fav right after subnautica, and this looks different which after the whole slew of remakes is so refreshing! Im actually excited! (I didnt mind ethan winters in 7 but 8 got to be too much, i enjoy changing protagonists for once or introducing new blood)
