I view the game as a breaking bad simulator or moral endurance tester and refused to let the conditions of the world turn me into a bad guy. Every time it was like “do you want to eat children or starve” I took it as a challenge. It was difficult to get through but I made it to the end eventually.

Getting the steam deck to run Xbox games is a pain in the ass so this doing that out of the box rules

That sucks so much I had a lot of fun with this one

Oh I like Dan. I forgot he came back.

Yeah they lost everyone that I cared about a long time ago. I have no idea who is even still there at this point.

“what if final fantasy was good”

Thanks, I will leave those unplayed then lol

Did you play any of the new colussus dlc? I really wanted to play the Joseph Stallion one but never got around to it.

Man I forgot about that pos fourth game. That series has some serious identity issues.

The decapitation scene is incredible. I love how over the top the whole game is. That made it so much easier to ignore the lib elements for me.

Youngblood is the weakest for sure but I appreciated the attempt at creating a framework for repeatable level design, even if most of the missions are mid to bad. It feels like a budget effort.

For me this is how the gaming community has always been. It’s the reason I’m pro gamer gulags tbh

I absolutely loved control. There’s really nothing else that has the same vibe as it that was produced in the last decade. I am there for the x files, twin peaks, scp vibes. It’s just a cool ass game.

For me it’s definitely more true for d&d. We don’t cancel our weekly mtg meetups very often.

Oh fuck, is he involved with that sci Fi game they announced. That sucks ass

It’s good! Storm Is a really good Lucio and being able to fly over the map and have an ult that can tko rules.

Tonight, after doing several team wipes using omega hurricane, the other teams Jeff popped his ult and ate his whole team as soon as I used my hurricane and saved his entire team. I had no idea it could be used that way. I’m still kind of stunned lol

I agree on the liberalism and chauvinism bits, it’s DNA definitely has that in it for sure and when they show through on screen it’s kinda gross. I think there are ways to handle it appropriately without just glossing over colonialism and theft. Or maybe I’m just coping with some cognitive dissonance right now.

I do disagree that it’s boring though. Those first movies were great action movies that were aimed at an audience that films don’t really care about anymore. It sucks that everything is either for infants or for adults with almost nothing in between now. I wish they would make more high quality movies, that do not have disdain for its audience, and are still appropriate for 10 year olds. Unlimited genocide on the YA fiction world.

I also think the world benefits from having some more autistic hero characters in it.

Oh man I completely forgot about the Soviets in Crystal skull. What an absolutely trash movie. Now I really wish they had just skipped those and went straight to video games lol

I have to look up dial of destiny later. I think Crystal skull damaged my psyche in a way that prevented me from being aware of that movie when it released. I’m sure it’s probably better this way but I’m kind of curious to see how bad it is.

I’m having a ton of fun with it. I’m about 10-12 hours in and I’m looking forward to playing more right now.

It’s different than the Wolfenstein games, but if you enjoyed any of the more recent ones, there is some similarity in the writing and gameplay. The level design reminds me of how they did the levels in youngblood: semi open but with an extremely high level of detail.

Probably more importantly, if you enjoyed the Indiana Jones movies, you will probably dig this. It’s better than any of the movies from the last two decades by a wide margin. It honestly feels like the first real sequel to The Last Crusade. This game does a remarkable job of capturing the spirit of those movies. Bravo to the voice actors in this, especially Troy Baker who absolutely knocks it out of the park.

You’re absolutely right. This is really the only way to get more Indiana Jones content, which is something I didn’t even realize how much I wanted more of until I started this game. It’s such a great character.
