One of my favorite modes of this game is “Mobification.” Basically, every time a witch is defeated, they turn into a hunter. So as you lose witches, you also gain more hunters and it gets harder to stay hidden. A very challenging game mode, but also very entertaining. And fun if you have witches that are really good at hiding. The more hunters, the easier it gets to find those sneaky witches!
Because this is a South Korean game, I felt it was only right to play it in its original Korean language (with English subtitles, because I don’t speak much Korean). English dubs on Asian works just feels weird to me.
But I lived overseas for almost a decade, so I’m used to hearing foreign languages. It feels more authentic to me to hear something in its original language. I know a lot of Americans don’t like to hear foreign languages in their movies or games though (or read subtitles while watching something), so there is English in this game if you prefer.
I also turn on subtitles anywhere I can, because I have ADHD and my brain won’t focus on auditory signals. So being able to read while someone’s talking helps me to stay focused and in-tune with the conversation. It helps to provide context in some of these screenshots though, which is a bonus.
Yeah the game distorts your vision slightly, to add to the subtle anxiousness. You can fine-tune it in settings, but by default, it can make you feel a little unsteady and ungrounded.
I love liminal spaces. I usually experience a sort of warm, soft comfort from them. Probably from exploring my dad’s empty office building back when I was a kid. He and his secretary were the only employees, so there were tons of empty, poorly lit rooms and hallways.
But the longer I played this game, the more dread started to creep over me. Probably because I have a mild fear of deep waters, and you can’t see anything in these waters unless you’re standing right over them.
I just upgraded my cosmetic armor set to this season’s Awoken Archenemy set. I have the full set, but I don’t like how the flaming horns cover almost all of my head, so I opted for the Waning Sun Diadem for my helm instead. I definitely feel like a fire sorcerer now! Check it out:
Kind of… but it’s all about automating resource collection on an alien planet. You don’t get to actually travel to space. I would love to be able to go explore the space elevator/station you build throughout the game, but you’re pretty much stuck on the planet surface. Unless that’s part of the end game that I haven’t gotten to yet. I’m still working my way through the official release. The early access was just an open world exploration game.
You say you don’t care for Porsche IRL. If you have any interest in driving performance vehicles and have an opportunity to drive one, try to not pass it up.
I used to be pretty big into cars in my youth. I actually took part in some drift racing in northern Japan when I lived there for a few years, and those guys are all big math/physics/car nerds (not the Yakuza gangster wannabes like you saw in Tokyo Drift; that movie was fantasy American street racing with a Japanese skin over it), so I really got into that stuff for a while. But high-end sports cars were out of our league, so I haven’t ever tried a Porsche. I guess that needs to go on my bucket list.
I suppose have finally accepted there’s never going to be another “campaign” style title. I guess that’s really the gaming industry as a whole with all the battle Royales and similar arcade-style games.
I really hate that there’s so much push to get us to play online multiplayer games now. I mean, I get it from a financial standpoint - it keeps players engaged with a game long after they’ve finished the campaign and if they can squeeze micro-transactions/seasons/DLC into it, it’s a source of added income for years afterward. But from a gaming standpoint, I just see it as repetitive gameplay that doesn’t lead anywhere, with rewards that are never worth the effort.
I’m also not a fan of playing online with strangers because the environment can be very toxic. I barely tolerate playing co-op with my friends some days. 😆
Even then, expansion packs were far and few between, and they expanded the story! They didn’t just add a custom skin of horse armor to your game. You got actual real content to enjoy with your money.
Incidentally, I just jumped back on the horse this morning by adding the latest World of Warcraft expansion to my account. I was almost done with Activision Blizzard and their awful content updates, but I decided to give it one more shot. So I might have some WoW screenshots incoming in the near future.
I had been an active player since 2005 and have bought every collector’s edition since The Burning Crusade. Only because Blizzard used to be an amazing company. But they’ve been garbage since they sold to Activision, and I’ve been spending more and more time away from it in the past decade. My wife actually gave up on it when Mists of Pandaria came out.
I barely played the last expansion; it just wasn’t fun trying to level up a dragon so I could glide just a little bit further across the map, when I have dozens of actual flying mounts in my inventory. Too much work for something that should’ve been given to us after meeting quest and/or level requirements. As far as I understand, their latest expansion is supposed to be the first in a massive 3-part story to reinvigorate the franchise, so I’m hoping they actually hired someone who knows what they’re doing this time.
Those symbols on those shirts are an equivalent to a swastika
That’s… the point. This particular branch of the game led to everyone (except you) becoming a Nazi. All because you tolerated racist diatribe from your supposed “best friend.” It’s a tongue-in-cheek look at what could happen if you tolerate racists in your life. And it doesn’t end well for the racists.
Perhaps you should play the game before you jump to conclusions on its content. Yes, it’s a dark game, but it definitely doesn’t show any love for Nazis.
True, but I didn’t want to thank you and NOT the person I was directly responding to. And I thought it was kind of weird only tagging one name and not the other.
Maybe I’ve just been socializing on Discord too much. I’ve gotten used to tagging everyone I’m talking to directly.
