Can someone explain how Remedy can be working on the Max Payne franchise while Rockstar owns the IP?

I'm still incredibly invested in KCD2, so much so that I think I'm addicted. I literally want to call in sick for work, neglect all my responsibilities, sharpen my father's blade and seek out rebel camps or Sigismund scum and stick it through their necks. Speaking of which... I feel a headache coming on...

When it comes to Avowed, I don't think I'll fully grasp what it's trying to be until I experience it firsthand. Is it Skyrim meets Dark Messiah of Might and Magic? Is it a simple game that tries to be more like Rise of the Argonauts did, and struggle to truly take off like that game did? I need to know -- and the only way to find out is to play it myself.

After I'm done with KCD2, that is.

I loved the first game because it took you from being little more than a peasant to playing a key role in a noble resistance army. That journey was fantastic. However, Henry's story clearly wasn’t finished, and I expected Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to build on that -- maybe give us a fresh perspective instead of repeating the same "peasant to sort-of-knight" arc. But from the reviews, it seems like that's exactly what they’ve done. Again...

By the end of KCD, we learn Henry has noble blood. So why is he still trudging through mud and filth, barely scraping by? That decision blows my mind. KCD1 already gave us a brilliant, realistic look at peasant life in the Middle Ages -- I was sure KCD2 would take the opportunity to properly show the noble (knight) experience this time around.

Either way, I have the game preloaded and will play once I'm done plundering the high seas.

Probably because he has amnesia.

I bet he gets ambushed early on or something, stripped of his cool stuff and a hit on the head made him mentally challenged. I mean... their marketing department has been showing a lot of drunk, drooling Henry's lately, like the game is more comedy and less drama. I'm just not at all convinced that's what the quiet fans were hoping for. The loud fans, on the other hand, experienced pure ecstacy when they found out one of Henry's battle shouts is "I'M FEELING QUITE HUNGRY"..... 🤦🏽‍♀️

Loved Spider-Man, but never got into Miles Morales. I think because it was just more of the same but without all the good fat that I actually like in this sandbox.

Will I like Spider-Man 2 or will it be like Miles Morales? 🤔

As long as there's no parkour, I'm in.
Imagine not knowing how to do basic jumping since...the Quake era. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

I'm not talking about 'basic jumping'. I'm talking about the Tarzan nonsense in Doom Eternal.

I couldn’t stand Doom Eternal for several reasons:

1. No real story -- just endless codex entries.

2. Gimmicky arenas instead of logical level design. Apparently, Hell and its demons are big fans of Monkey Joe’s because parkour is everywhere.

3. Overly complex rock/paper/scissors combat. Too many variables, and that damn shoulder cannon ruined the flow. Worst of all, it committed a cardinal sin: it took away player choice and dictated how we had to play. Want to run the whole game with just the shotgun? Too bad.

And yet, somehow, Eternal got more praise than DOOM 2016, a game I found superior in every way. Thankfully, Dark Ages seems to be following in DOOM 2016’s footsteps. Praise Beelzebub for that.

They’ve completely removed the iconic finishers, replacing them with what their shills and blind enthusiasts are praising as an “overhaul” or even an improvement.

When they showed off this so-called "improvement," it was downright laughable. Now, when enemies are near death and enter a stagger state, you get to -- guess what!? -- shoot or melee them. Just like you were already doing before they staggered. Where you aim decides whether they explode health, armor or ammo pick-ups.

No more awesome animations based on where you aim and where you are relative to the enemy (front, side, back). Just a limp ragdoll flop.

Incredibly cheap and it removes that much beloved 1 second breather amidst the chaos.

I'm mostly playing Marvel Rivals and Indiana Jones now. Indiana Jones is such a weird game. People love it, and I like it too, but it feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be. I just run around punching nazi's. I hardly use stealth. The game isn't hard. The AI is very dumb.

I'm looking at the Final Fantasy VII Remake since today for some reason. Not sure why. I've never played FF. I think I need a flashy, bombastic single player game and Indiana Jones just isn't scratching that itch.

So that's two mediocre games the meme lords managed to raise to legendhood. Speaking of Space Marine 2 and Stalker 2. This promises nothing but shit in the future.

Stalker 2 still runs like shit, especially considering that the game just doesn't look that good. It also has a gameplay loop less complex than the fart that came out of my cat's arse just now. What the actual fuck is up with this ridiculously low bar the gaming community seems to have in some cases, these days? Is it an infantile act of rebellion against the triple-A companies or something? I need to understand, but I don't think I ever will.

I decided to complain about Space Marine 2 again too in this comment, but since I already spent an hour of my life doing so in earlier posts -- which is about as long you need to complete the Campaign that game sold itself on -- I've reevaluated that decision...

Dragon's Dogma 2 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard really hog the limelight of my Replay.

I'm really having the feels for starting another Dragon's Dogma 2 run. Was hoping for some proper DLC by now...

I'm a big fan of the two original Dark Alliance games (bought them on Steam and still own the PS2 discs) and I never touched this new sequel. I saw enough videos of it and heard enough to realize it was nothing like the first two and passed on it. The intended demographic was, apparently, people new to the series and to D&D and they had hoped old farts like me bought it on name recognition alone. Thankfully, people are more careful with their money nowadays and didn't bite.

The game was bad, simply put. It wasn't a true Dark Alliance game and just used the name to try and reel older folks in. Nobody fell for it and it flopped hard due to that.

Did you know the original plan of the devs was a top-down Dark Alliance style? It actually looked pretty cool. They pitched it to TWotC and those fucking morons basically took over and said they should go with this third person crap.

Drizzt is meant for greater glories. Sadly, TWotC are run by a bunch of fools who agree with the loud minority that "the idea of Drow being evil is RACIST!". It's really them that's racist, because it takes the mind of a goddamn racist to equate ebony skinned Drow with black people. Yayyy, all races in Faerun must only be different from eachother by looks alone, otherwise it's racist! Why describe a character in a book as an elf? The race shouldn't matter, else you're RACIST!

This signals the death of D&D...

The game was good, albeit forgettable. It was out of my system the moment I put it down, unlike games like Mass Effect, KC: Deliverance, Severance (Blade of Darkness).

Speaking of the latter... That truly was the first Souls game. Too good for its time; the gamers weren't ready.

Shit, they actually went with Ciri. This just feels "fan-fic" to me. To how many who played TW3 is this the correct canon anyway? I always thought her becoming a witcher was the kids' choice, and her becoming Nilfgaard's empress the most complex but overal best ending for everyone (maybe except for Ciri, but life's a bitch).

That said, Ciri is awesome and I'm fine with her being the protagonist. Geralt had his story arcs and they've been fulfilled, I guess. Not sure how much more personal tumult a stoic monotonist should have.

We all know it ends with the ending of Season 7. I can't imagine ever getting invested into the story knowing that. "White Walkers" aren't that scary and mysterious anymore, when they can't get through plot armor and their king gets killed by cheap trick.

I'm still so incredibly frustrated how things went w/ killing Phantom Liberty for me ...

I finished my Cyberpunk playthrough, and then habitually cleaned up my savegames, keeping only the very last one, very close to the end of the game. Turns out this was too late in the game, when it's no longer possible to deviate from the path or trigger the expansion.

So I can't play Phantom Lib with my original playhrough character sadly. I have to either start from the very beginning, or in any case start a new game and use the option to skip ahead to the expansion.

As a gamer with slight role-playing tendencies that just kills me - I want to play it with my character. Sigh.

I still have it on the todo to figure out if the savegame format has been sufficiently reverse-engineered (or whether I can help with that) to create a new savegame just before the point of no return and then splice over all my character etc. stats ...

Edit: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/718 looks promising

Why would you clean up your savegames? Did you need to free up some kilobytes for a jpeg file?

The game is insanely similar to Overwatch. Both in graphics as with its heroes. Few examples:

Starlord = Tracer + Reaper
The Punisher = Soldier 76 + Bastion
Luna Snow = Lucio + xx (forgotten as I write this)
Magneto = Zarya + Sigma
Etc

I get the "better steal good ideas than have bad ones" mantra but this is crazy; shady and if they hadn't also copied the polish and fun of Overwatch, it'd be like you ordered Overwatch from Temu.
Except all of those characters predate Overwatch by decades. If anything, Overwatch's characters are all the Temu versions.

This is like the butthurt Blizzard exec whining and claiming that Black Widow was a copy of Widowmaker. 🤣

Explain how they predate Overwatch by decades? Mind you, I'm not talking about how they look. I'm talking about how they play.
