I can’t imagine new players playing the game. I tried getting back in after missing most of the events since the 2nd dlc came out. So much of the story is gone now because they were only part of the event and inaccessible now. Doesn’t even feel like the same game when I went back to it. Tried watching a 2 hour lore video for all the things that happene but that didn’t help.

The obscure videogame subreddits are what I miss the most. Made one here on lemmy for a game I love and only one other person has commented since July.

Holy crap I was trying to figure out why Sam Cole’s VA sounded so familiar. Thanks for helping me finally figure out why lol

You might enjoy Alan Wake 1 but the controls aren’t for everyone. I absolutely loved it all the times I played but my friend couldn’t stand the combat.

The story is very mysterious and I can’t recall any gore at all in the game. The only kind of jump scares I can recall were from the combat when I didn’t notice an enemy snuck up on me. It’s something more easily manageable if you play on the easier difficulty as there is less of a threat.

The plot is really fucking great and has some of my favorite narration in a game. And it has a type of Eldritch horror story to it. You’ve probably already experienced it in that Alan Wake dlc for Control. You don’t have to deal with it in Alan Wake like you did in Control.

It’s honestly depressing at how Lemmy has turned over the last few months since I joined. I would now never mention I use the site or recommend it to others. There’s just too many fucking landmines for new users to step over to have a good experience here.

I’m sticking with it for the time being, but I don’t see myself ever using it again if it gets worse.

You mentioning the car thing is so true. Anytime you mention stuff about cars here, you’ll get the typical comment reply using it as a soapbox platform to say how cars are the devil.

The FuckCars users are some of the most toxic people on this site. It’s not even worth arguing with them.

Guess I won’t be getting the random alerts that a tiger got loose in Houston anymore.

Somehow I was mere streets away both times lmao.

I feel so foolish after trying to find the hidden “GAY SEX” or “SEND NUDES” messages for a bit too long.

It’s very decent. I loved playing it on the PS5. I never gave it the time it deserves so this weekend I’ll spend time beating it finally.

They completely nailed the aesthetics of the Terminator franchise.

Glad Xbox users got the upgrade. Sucks it took a few years compared to PS5.

October 3rd for anyone wondering.

I am really really hopeful for this game to be serviceable.

This was one of the first manga’s I ever read. I remember getting the first shonen jump they released in America, which had this, around then and getting addicted from then on lol.

I had completely forgotten to link to it lmfao.

I have no idea how he even found my sister. Houston is a large city and he somehow picked her a decade ago to torment.

Same here. This news has me fucking excited to play it.

Tried it on gamepass in the past but couldn’t stand the multiplayer component so I stopped playing.

It’s the same thing they did to my sister when she was 19. A guy in our city found her online and began stalking her everywhere. He would harass her and send her disgusting things even though she had never met or talked to the guy before.

When we called the police and had one come to the house to file a report, the cop was just blaming my sister. He was acting like he couldn’t imagine a boy would do these things if my sister didn’t lead him on.

A few years later the guy sent a underage girl from my school his dick pic. She showed it to me because she was disgusted and both amused at how pathetic it looked. It was sadly not the last time I’ve seen his dick pic.

Now the fucker has a YouTube documentary about how pathetic he is and it’s at over 500k views.

Glad the comment chain made you want to try it!

I have a feeling Sekiro fans will find more enjoyment in it than I did.

Hopefully you can find the demo if it’s still available somewhere.

Yeah lol. I think Trevor will sucker punch you if you run into him.

Yeah it was the moment when I realized Lies of P reminded me of playing Sekiro when I stopped lol. I’m just disappointed they make you have to parry. Not parrying lead to me getting combo locked during that first carnival boss so many times. Getting hit multiple times without being able to dodge or parry after the first hit was annoying.

Heard that the game has a dodge/roll upgrade a bit farther into it but I just didn’t have it in me to deal with more of the parrying to get that far.

Grateful the game was on gamepass so I was able to check it out before buying it. Hopefully my friend that’s 100% Sekiro will give it a try soon. He might enjoy the combat more than I did. He never dodged in bloodborne but instead stood still and just parry’d the bosses until it worked lol.

I tried the game for a few hours but I just couldn’t get into it.

Something about the dodge mechanic was not feeling right and I hated the overreliance on blocking/parrying. It’s the one mechanic I’ve hated in all soulsborne games and never used when beating the games.

Also noticed how some enemies seem to have their attacks rubberbanded onto you even when you dodge.

Realizing I would have to rely on the parrying for the whole games was what made me finally stop playing today. I just don’t find that fun or enjoyable.

I’m hopeful that they can rework the dodge more, but that was also my hope from playing the demo too and I still don’t like it as it is now in the full game.

I wonder how many of those 46% were like me at my old apartment.

They included cable tv in the monthly rent so I technically was a household that subscribed but I never once connected my tv to it lol.
