It was surprisingly good. Not life changing but they had some messages and themes that they wanted to convey and did so pretty damn well.

Gets a little ahead of itself in moments but honestly, there are tons of far worse films released every year.

All day!

4v1 asymetrical has long ago ruined any chances of a legacy franchise horror game.

I hate this style of gameplay. It encourages min/maxing, griefing and requires YouTube strat watching. I am too old for all that shit. I just want to play a decently made (quality here can match the movies honestly) b-tier game in these worlds I grew up loving. Instead, I try these things at launch when they’re buggy but still have some equality as the player base hasn’t gone full toxic and then by the time they’re patched and stable, its full of sweats or dead.

By now we’ve burned through Evil Dead, Killer Klowns, Texas Chainsaw and Friday the 13th chasing Dead by Daylight money.

What a fucking waste of dev resources. All it’s done is make each and everyone of those potentially great franchises for story telling appear too unprofitable for suits to jump in again…likely never on some of them.

The Weeknd and Cattle Decapitation

The sick irony is that between the 2 distinct approaches to titans, there’s room for a fantastic hero shooter where the titans function as long run ults.

The PC / meatbag is a generic or, fuck it, a Apex bro/sis, and their ult is a Titanfall. Add some leveled / unique loadout options like 1 to the focused classes of 2 and its an easy win.

At least it is for this nerd on the internet who knows fuck all about VG development and mainstream gaming habits in 2025.

This game is a technical mess. Oblivion is top 3 of all time for me. I’m the target audience for a litany of reasons, yet I refunded it after 3 hours.

It runs like shit on everything. Windows? Check. Linux? Check. Steam Deck? Check. GeforceNow? Check.

As soon as you leave the prison it all falls apart. Hopefully the next few months of patching can salvage it. I’ll keep an eye on reports. Until then though, the console versions seem to be the only way it’s worth trying to run this release.

Specs for anyone interested:

PC running Win 11 23h2 and PopOS - Ryzen 5900x, 5080FE

Laptop Running 24h2 and Mint Ryzen 7945HX, 4080

Both of those should be able to run this game at 240 1080p, 120 2k or 60 4k and unfortunately none of that happens. Its just a see saw of random drops and stutters not matter what settings I use.

Sweet. Does it finally fix the black screen issues? My 5080 is damn near unusable.

Fucking scrub ass drivers.

nm, realized which sub this was. Black screens aren’t a problem on Linux… Yet.

There was a demo reel of the spy as well that was incredible. I played untold hours of tfc. It is likely what made me a intellimouse fan (thumb buttons for both grenade types?! It was the future).

I truly miss conc grenades. There has never been a more versatile weapon in a game.

It is a real dog to control on PC unfortunately. Tried with wired and wireless controllers, Steam and GOG. It was made in that era where there was no common PC controller drivers. Mouse control is pretty jumpy as well.

That said, fantastic game if you can get over the humps. There’s a few good mods as well to update some of the jank.

I hope so too!

I still get irrationally upset when there isn’t. But, if a game gives me a waterfall find (or 2, or 3 like Avowed) it will rocket to the top of my list.

Lived in a place that had a koi pond and waterfall fountain years ago. I placed a small adventurer and treasure chest behind it. Wonder if it’s still there.

I missed out on the 1st gen pebble but had a buddy who loved his. Y’all may be talking me in to checking this new one out.

And agreed on the pine faces. I’ve been of half a mind to learn how to make them so I could have more variety.

For anyone looking for a similar device in the interim (long battery, open source) the PineTime is a great device.

We call that doing lines around these parts.

Do you have F-Droid installed? Not to pull a docker, but it is opening for me on 2 separate devices.

IronFox is the closest alternative. F-Droid repo here:

That’s just like, your opinion man.

Why?

The Nemesis System within the Wonder Woman game was the reverse of what is in the Middle-Earth games. Instead of enemies being empowered, Wonder Woman would befriend NPCs.

Damn, as someone who likes a good, getting cats out of trees, talking to the goblins that took over your house, NPC helping time, this bums me out.
