Yep, that’s the face the old man makes when he poops in his diaper. I think he got too excited to see his owners and couldn’t control himself.
It was also well rehearsed and specific persons installed to be customers. They didn’t want another repeat of JD Vance ordering donuts while trying to pretend he was a regular guy who could relate to people instead of couches.
Imagine pulling up to McDonald’s after a shitty day at work and this asshole is working the window?
If you hand him cash or card, he’ll steal it and say the immigrants took your money and to ask Kamala why they keep letting this happen. By the time you get your meal, Trump would’ve taken a bite out of your burger and left poop smears inside the bag.
So the camera is third person, but you of course experience the game through the eyes of Senua! You feel her courage, her fear, and her strength and grit as she pushes forward to solve her problem (no spoilers here).
While you play as Senua, you also get to hear Senua’s voices. Lots of voices, and it is an eerie and tough experience to get through. They will uplift you, praise you, beat you down, scare you, make you feel rotten. And it’s absolutely best to play this game with headphones - trust me.
I can’t praise this game enough. For me, it was about an 8.5/10. I only had a few nitpicks with gameplay, but the story beats, heartrending story, wonderful voice and motion-capture acting, musical score, art direction, etc is such an experience.
One of my favorite gaming experiences. For anyone reading this, it’s a must play. It’s not the greatest game of all time, but the audio experience combined with the heartrending story make an emotional package.
“I thought you weren’t going to fact check us.”
On the last page, you’ll find an installation CD for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and the activation code written in sharpie. There’s another CD for a cracked install of Macromedia Fireworks. Both are Memorex CD-R.
For my PC I prefer headphones for the immersion. When on the Steam Deck, I use in ear buds. I have a handful of Apple ear pods I’ve amassed over the years that I’ll use when I’m trying to get some quick gaming in. If I get a chance to really sit down and game for an hour or more, I use my JBL Quantum TWS with the USB C receiver. Total immersion, excellent sound quality, noise canceling, and incredible latency. Battery life could always be better, but they’ll comfortably get me through a solid gaming session on the Deck.
I don’t use the speakers on my Deck at all. I probably should play some games with it and see how I like it.
Get the original on GOG without DRM or forced PSN.
Nintendo isn’t popular right now in Lemmy due to their hostility toward emulators. Recently Ryujinx was forced to shutdown, and browsing around in the other gaming communities, posts and comments about gamers no longer buying Nintendo are getting upvoted.
So I think moving forward you may be seeing lots of downvotes on any Nintendo post anyone makes, specifically from users that browse by All.
Edit: I also forgot about Horizon. Sony is in the hot seat as well with their forced PSN network login hostility for PC games. And quite recently, Sony removed the original Horizon Zero Dawn game from store fronts (apart from GOG) and are forcing customers to buy the Remastered game for more money and the forced PSN login. Gamers are outraged about a game from 2017 getting remastered along with the PSN network requirement, so anything about Horizon will also face lots of downvotes.
Hold on just a darn tootin’ minute here. That there’s robot speak, ain’t it? We don’t take too kindly to robots, fella. Are you a robot, or ain’t you? We’ll defederate you mercifully.
I’ve had no excitement for this game since Ubisoft is such a disappointment of mediocrity. I grew bitter to them back when they announced the controversial shutting down of their legacy activation servers: this would prevent gamers from passing the online checks to play their games. Suddenly, despite me possessing a physical disc of Splinter Cell Blacklist on Wii U, I learned I would lose access to the DLC I paid for and “owned”. Certain missions would also become unplayable since you need online co-op. Ubisoft backpedaled after significant backlash from gamers, but since then I hesitate whenever I see them attached to any project.
I miss old Ubisoft. I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil 2003 on my GameCube for the first time, and this game is spectacular! Wish Ubisoft didn’t become evil, but it was inevitable.
Chrono Trigger SNES.
It’s on my must play list for this year. RIP Akira Toriyama
