Regarding SOM's nemesis system, the upcoming project from Ghost Story Games (Studio founded by Bioshock alumni Ken Levine and Shawn Roberts) will be an immersive sim with emergent gameplay based heavily on it, so that's going to be a thing. No footage yet, but lots of details in this presentation from a while back:

It's not an action game about a person who's a warrior and/or snarky adventurer? Meh, boring.

After seeing the reactions to both of their remakes...if bluepoint wanted to goof on their entire audience, would it be as simple as hiring artists who worked on the Souls games to help art direct this one and revealing it later in a production diary or something?

wonder if this will be a more conservative remake like SOTC and Gears Ultimate Edition, or if they’re expanding on it and implementing some of the stuff we’ll see in Elden Ring

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism

beyond a shadow of a doubt lol she denied making or posting it. unfortunate timing aside, images like that have always gone viral as long as the internet has been a thing. she might have to endure a bit of false branding for a while -
General Gaming Hated current gen games that you like
heydude93 replied to Phaseknox's topic in The Spawn Point
As far as I know, yes. I remember it running smoothly enough back when I had a gaming PC so I imagine that version would be preferable considering how many issues PS4 copy still has. -

That take was hyperbolic i admit. RE4's pacing, atmosphere and game design are timeless and influential in ways that are almost unprecedented in gaming, but I still think movement while aiming, more challenging combat and limited supplies of items, The Last of Us-inspired stealth mechanics, and a slightly more well written story are examples of progressions on it, many of which will appear in the remake. -
The outrage makes sense considering the vibe that's been on most gaming messageboards from the start. If anyone uses the internet time machine to see what IGN was like ten or more years ago, most threads on every page were whiteboy problems. Whining about games being delayed a month, an occasional glitch, framerate not being 60+fps, and more. Video games are the ultimate luxuriant entertainment product. A magical box that projects these portals to interactive dreams that have become as visually detailed as movies. Imagine losing sight of that. Most games over the years are escapism that avoids political messaging, which is fine, it lets anyone project whatever they want to see but it also invites as many jerks as it does sensitive nerds. The outrage from gamersbros on the internet is similar to what would happen if you gave a community of young princes in an insulated kingdom all the toys they want for most of their lives and suddenly took them away, is all.

ND's choice in TLOU2 to try ramping up the portrayal of violence to 70's cinema rorschach levels for audiences is an interesting one. There will probably be just as many debates about how effective it is, artistically (does the abstraction from the limited tech of PS4 undermine the intended emotional reaction to the viscera, etc) as there is how much the reaction to it reveals the attitudes of the audience.

I'm determined to finish Obduction without looking up any hints or playthroughs. Unsurprisingly it's not going well so far -

Is the account confirmed to be him? Regardless, that little act of valor certainly didn't end well for the guy. Thoughts and prayers. -

Most would probably be considered mediocre because gamer and video game review logic often denotes a 7.0 is too bad to be worth playing. It's tough to think of many games with actual terrible reviews (5.5 or lower) and word of mouth that are worth playing though. -

General Gaming What’s the boards take on Dark Souls?
heydude93 replied to maddux4163's topic in The Spawn Point
They're ok, I have the first Souls game and enjoy it. It's a hack and slash RPG that curates challenges for the player to help evoke a sense of accomplishment. But Sekiro is my favorite Fromsoft game because it does all of that but adds stylish action game mechanics which makes the challenge more fun. I'm not nearly as skilled at playing either as I'd like to be though. -

I used to get shit for saying The Evil Within is a better game than Resident Evil 4. It's true though. It took what made RE4 a good game and modernized it.
