The Two Colonels DLC for Metro Exodus was pretty excellent. I can’t wait for Sam’s Story.

No one has learned the lesson from Atari. Your company can crash and burn, but someone will dance around wearing it's corpse for money.

...

It is quite an odd lesson, granted.

Cyberpunk 2077 "Deep Dive" video

Would have preferred the longer 40 minute vid that was meant to be originally shown off.

Ironically, I don't think the new Atari is doing all that well. Maybe the brand is just cursed.

Yea.. I ain't hyped.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I really, really enjoy how most of that episode was Ross theorizing the backstory of the game.

They should have left Atari where it was. I'm an Atari fan, so I kind of see it as an affront to nature. Atari's best games are long behind them.

I saw that Metal Slug was trending on Twitter and disappointingly it looks like it's just stupid Smash stuff.

Dragon Ball: Kakarot looks good, so far gameplay looks like the Xenoverse 2 style of gameplay and the graphics look nice.

been thinking about getting that over War of Rights considering WOR is early access as shit, even if it looks a little more fun.

meanwhile, TaleWorlds never updated Napoleonic Wars, by far their most successful Mount And Blade product because reasons -_-

Yeah, it's mediocre gameplay combined with obnoxious (And frequently racist) mic spam.

Fucking Christ, getting Adept Ghostface is a pain in the balls. Repeatedly get a 4K, and it's always Ruthless instead of Merciless. Beginning to agitate me. I miss when getting an Adept just meant killing all 4 of the Survivors...

After watching snippets of gameplay demo of 2077, future slang in Cyberpunk clearly is not futurey enough right now.

the subreddit for cyberpunk 2077 is gona be a dumpster fire of toxicity and disappointment at launch. People have stupidly high expectations of this game, i mean ffs "Masterpiece" is one of the tags on fucking steam, and im expecting another No Mans Sky situation (probably not as bad tho) were people just fucking lose it over the game having flaws. The last few days with that new trailer and the cutscene stuff (not the gender thing because that was complete manufactured bollocks spun by outrage merchants) its full of people saying they will cancel their pre orders and how disappointed they are, some of them getting quite angry over it.

It will most likely be a good game, but people need to stop expecting the impossible.
