I hope the move goes well!

Has a look like you just caught it in the middle of making mischief!

Ah, now I remember your username from a Deadlock thread the other day. Yeah if you vehemently hate third-person perspective in a shooter then there is no saving it, I guess.

I mean, I don’t know. You have to watch it with 2013 eyes. Sure, if you only look at it like “oh, cover-based shooting” then sure. But what’s suggested by the trailer (seamless world, PvE and PvP simultaneously in the open world, proximity-based voice, some kind of mobile-app integration for drone support, faithfully rendered New York environment, extraction shooter gameplay YEARS before it was cool or even a thing…) still kind of looks like an appealing package imo and back then it truly did look mind blowing.

Of course I’m well aware of how it turned out, but I even watching it back I get why I was so hyped for it once.

I remember watching one of the early gameplay trailers for the first Division and thinking it looked like the coolest game ever. Wonder if third time is the charm for the series.

EDIT: trailer I was thinking about for those who haven’t seen it, E3 2013 trailer.. 13 years ago, fuck me.

I am all for Hanlon’s Razor usually, but in this case I’m not sure we can settle for “stupid”. I think “evil” is sadly more apt.

That word always makes me think of the first dream in Disco Elysium. Can’t think of it without hearing it in Mikee W. Goodman’s Ancient Reptilian Brain voice.

The name is enough for me to subscribe and give it a chance.

I really hate the trope of having a mission around the 50-75% mark where you are stripped of all your gear and unlocked abilities. I know it must be popular because it keeps popping up in games but I just don’t enjoy it personally.

Literally everyone could see this coming during the election year. Don’t know what’s more depressing, that a majority of Americans wanted this, that some Americans somehow couldn’t see this coming, or that some thought “yes, this is worth it to teach the Democrats a lesson about picking uninspiring candidates with a slightly weird laugh.”

Yeah, that is a crazy fucking video. No arguments from me.

Okay listen. I know I haven’t played it myself but… Isn’t Arc Raiders just another fucking extraction shooter? How the fuck does it beat Blue Prince for most innovative gameplay?
