It was a long and slow crash until it wasnt.

What im saying is that as every other beeg publisher dies to greed and audience apathy this decade im expecting 2k to fuck this up. Probably not the game itself but the new live service and running their publishing company is likely to hit the skids before 2030

This will result in 'america crime by people who want to satirize America but are bad at satire so they just steal from American movies' to become the kingpin of crime games, get fat and insist its all muscle, and collapse under its own hubris and greed like is the natural life cycle of 'beeg game'

Yeah when I saw this picture all I thought was 'this ad is 100% racist'. The choices made it its construction are just as subtle as the jeans/genes ad....or a brick to the face. IQ is debunked and eugenics in my mind. I instantly question the motivations of anyone I hear mentioning it.

Ngl, I find that too many character arcs in fictional media miss that crucial third step where your love for humanity grows into the final form of hatred for the anti human bullshit that threatens humanity....its improving a lot lately though.

Yeah I gotta include something like that in one of my stories. I live for big middle fingers to hypocritical institutions. Especially if they make the uninitiated go like 'wait, what?'

This thread brought tp you by a few prominent 'left' Trans women still managing to not be full throated pro Palestine at this late a date....I know you all can try harder so do the work.

If you can't do that work it will always catch up to you later. Self critique prepares you for handling being a member of polite society, especially when a bunch of people get on a trend of working out an issue at once that has been on the back burner too long and leave your dumb ass behind.

A whole lot of fuckers 'on the left' or 'in the center' gotta realize they are repressed, hold bigoted bias against some skin colors or types of people, or other shit and just be like 'well obviously my first gut reaction isnt the whole story and im not immune to social conditioning so what's up?'

Jokes on you, I work third shifts. Im yer sleep paralysis demon on here.

Every time we have the difficulty discussion in games and neurodivergence is never much of a talking point i just sigh at my failed attempt to get into games media.

So yeah...enjoy yer fucking silksong I guess. I got a third of the way into hollow knight and had to drop it like I just noticed I was holding a gun to my head.....twice!

I'll gladly take boss fights. If I have to learn to parry or tolerate long run backs and super quick attack telegraphing in a superhero game after so long of not getting good superhero games im going to cry.

One thing we can agree on though: superhero games need to focus up on boss fights. That's where the juice is. 90 percent fighting mooks is doing the genre no favors.

I want a game with advanced action combat ala souls or monhun....but the game structure is more sim arpg. Superhero games need a non MMO in a character creator focused Action rpg

At the end of the day a modern superhero game has a lot of work to do....but absolutely NEEDs to steal more and smarter from other action genres. Marvels avengers looter brawler and Gotham knights looter stealth brawler were duds.
