I love how there was a section where everything was in black and white but got more colorful as the MC realized he’s finally free while getting chased by the zombie horde.

Note that because of this, it is not going to be sold in any regions that don’t officially have PSN

and because of this, the game isn’t available in my region. Guess I’ll pirate it if I ever feel like playing it then.

I subscribe to Gamepass, mostly because it’s only $2 a month in my region, so it’s really good value for me. At 15$ I probably wouldn’t have pushed through with it.

It’s kind of weird too since they sell PS5s in regions where PSN isn’t officially supported.

One of the examples I’ve seen of SBI “forcing inclusivity” was making Saga in Alan Wake 2 black. I’m not familiar enough with SBI’s work to do make a real judgement, but if this is one of the examples being used to say that SBI is making games worse, then the curator list is dumb.

Ah, I was talking about Unity which had some chests that you could only open with an app.

Ubisoft seems like one of the shittiest game companies. They were one of the earliest companies that implemented Always-on DRM, requiring an app to open chests, trying to put ads when you paused the game, refusing to put games on Steam because they want more money, sexual assault/harassment allegations etc.

Not really, it’s just that a lot of guides nowadays are done on youtube. I personally think text guides are superior so I really don’t want gamefaqs to go away.

I really hope Gamefaqs continues to persist. I still think it’s one of the best places for guides.

I liked the online events because it was easier for them to get runners from around the world to participate. Also, I think the rhythm game showcases would have never happened without the online-only GDQs.

I’m guessing this is still related to that time where a guy running a tournament had his nude Chun-Li mod on.

The other stupid part is that WFH makes more sense from a business perspective. Having to pay less in office rent and utilities is great for saving on costs.

Or being one of the few games that require you having an SSD to run properly lol.

Best guess is people voted it because they didn’t know any of the other games and didn’t bother to check.

They also supposedly have a plan where everyone will still have access to their games in the unlikely event that Valve shuts down.

Hope you enjoy it!

I suppose you could say it’s story heavy since what you’re doing is piecing together what happened on the ship. The story is that you’re a insurance investigator and have to find out what happened to every person that was on the Obra Dinn. It’s a great game. If it matters, it’s a Lucas Pope game, the guy who made Papers Please.

I don’t actually know all the games that did this, but the most famous examples are Phoenix Point and Shenmue 3. I already read that Outer Wilds was another one that took the exclusivity deal.

Yeah, this caused A LOT of controversy back then. As far as I know, Epic has stopped doing this and has pivoted a bit more into funding game development (i.e. Alan Wake 2.) That being said, that gave Epic a terrible reputation when they initially launched EGS.
