I'm not big on the homogenising into unreal 5 but if it works well for them I'm all for it.

Yeah I am hoping they overhaul or embrace a new engine because that is what apparently killed mutliplayer for Cyberpunk. I dream of playing as trauma team and extracting patients.

I mean it wasn't a meme. Bethesda games are buggy on release. The PS3 edition of Skyrim was notoriously not fit for release, I honestly do not think that level of bugs would ever have been tolerated nowawdays. It's also something that Microsoft's QA team really ought to be credited for because it seems they are the reason this game stands out amongst Bethesda releases in recent years.

That said imma wait till a few days afterwards just in case. And the story getting bad reviews is not unsurprising as Bethesda has not really had a good one since Morrowind, or maybe Point Lookout in F3.

If they've managed to make a decent live action adaptation of any Japanese media I'm impressed for them. Cowboy Bebop, the Resident Evil tv series come to mind as their mos trecent failings. I think One Pieces kind of cartooniness is something that can be adapted in live action so its good to see them actually do it.

Enemy variety was the killer imo. It's so common to fight and there's only like 5 enemy types in the game and you meet them all by the midway point. I am hoping more creatures show up in the sequel.

I am dying to see the Strogg again in all their glory, once of the coolest aliens ever in a video-game. I dream of a remake of Quake 4 because they really went batshit with Strogg designs in Quake 4.

Haven't yet, have a massive backlog of games plus over things to worry about but I will probably be getting it at release.

These are very short and small bears. They stand upright an average of 5ft tall, which amongst bears is short enough. Keep in mind even a black bear, another considred small bear, can reach up to over 6ft, 1.82m, tall. Grizzlies and Polar Bears are well over the 8ft, 2.43m, range standing upright. The weight differences are also massive. Their relative size similar peer in the Black Bear is anywhere from 60kg 5o 300kg, or 132-661 pounds. Meanwhile a sunbear is around 27-63kg, 59-143lbs.

With such a lithe bear it creates this oddly human look to them when they stand upright.

It's absolutely nothing like most CRPGS but play Disco Elysium if you get the opportunity. I've dabbled in plenty of CRPGS in my time but this one was a masterpiece and revitalised my love fo rthe genre.

Owlcat's works are also worth looking into. They are amongst the most honest adaptation of ttrpg system to a computer game. Bonus if you prefer Pathfinder to DnD. I am salivating over the 40k Rogue Trader they are making.

He's talking about Lemmy of Motorhead who is one of the reasons Lemmy is called Lemmy.

Honestly from the memorabilia I just think that was Lemmy's passion, I was never a big motorhead fan but I've seen more than enough instances of his political thoughts to not really look down on him for his collection. He was a dude really passionate about that part of history and loved collecting stuff from it because he thought that the Nazis "looked mean". By that he meant cool. He got rich and instantly started trying to pick stuff up.

I suppose you could say his collection and widespread appreciation for the aesthetic was a bit tone-deaf and strange but I never thought you could look at his work and his life and call him a Nazi. He clearly wasn't racist giving his romantic history and had a few interviews where he talked about his disdain for racism.

Fun fact Lemmy actually owned a german tank destroyer called the Hetzer, or the Jagdpanzer 38. His collection was extreme to be honest. He had artifacts from all the axis countries in Europe iirc. I often, when I was younger, wished I was so rich I could collection historical artifacts from ww2 like that. I was wanted a King Tiger, a Pershing and an IS-3, never actually saw service in WW2 in combat but was in the Soviet victory parade. I liked big tanks. Sadly I don't think I'll ever get any of those.

I use Kbin over Lemmy for the record.

I totally forgot that I got the Spoilers phasmid myself on my first run, that was another stand out to me. It's such a beautiful and strange moment, in any other game it would feel out of place but for me the phasmid is arguably the greatest part of the game for me. I felt like hope and a miracle that something like that could exist in the crapsack world of Elysium and Revachol. With the fear of the Pale overwhelming everything and a constant state of drudgery and decline of a failed revolution it was nice to see that there are still things worth finding in the world. Harry speaking with it is a great thing as it lets him understand and overcome his self-hatred and shame.

Loved having Kim there.
