This is funny looking.

The people clamoring for traditional FPS flashlight took a lot away from the horror aspect. Being forced to choose between flashlight or weapon was great, sometimes I’d just be seeing from the muzzle flash. Having the flashlight and gun simultaneously ruined this deliberate disempowerment.

I played the shit out of this when it was released, really enjoyed it. Getting stoned and playing it in the dark on my Viewsonic P95f+ CRT was an absolutely blast.

Glad the article mentions Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay because that was a really dope game of the same era that I rarely see mentioned.

You can already walk around in the cabin in 2020 by translating the camera.

Forza Motorsport is a huge disappointment. Even if the graphics are fixed, the single player content is shockingly thin, and increased graphics settings won’t fix the bad models, unrealistic track details, terrible sound, or numerous bugs.

I really didn’t care for the changes made to Bioshock Infinite to make it appeal to a wider base. I got maybe a third into it and stopped. Loved Bioshock 1 & 2 though.

I’ve got >1000 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator and I paid $100 for the deluxe edition. 10 cents an hour, at most.

Shazbot!

“If you were an F22 fighter jet in Doom Eternal, this time around we wanted you to feel like an Abrams tank.” […] ”You’re heavier, more powerful, and grounded,” he says. “We’re making strafing-to-aim a thing again. You’ll be weaving between projectiles, just like you did in the original Doom, to deliver that Super Shotgun blast to the chest… It almost creates this three-dimensional 'shoot ‘em up’ puzzle that you’re weaving your way through.”

Hell yes. I’m still going to be cautious with my hype but this sounds like what I want. I know many people liked the acrobatics of Eternal but it was not for me.

MSFS 2024 looks incredible, it’s one of the few Microsoft games that’s still top notch. I’m so worried they’re going to make it some subscription based live service, the amount and regularity of updates MSFS2020 got seems too good to be true these days.

I played through the main quest, all the factions, and a lot of the side quests. I don’t remember anything about the story. The ship builder was very cool but felt completely separate from the rest of the game, and flying ships was boring. Gunplay was pretty fun but the brain dead AI ruined it. I’ll try this DLC anyhow, but more out of some morbid curiosity than actually being excited for it.

Starfield did a good job at taming my anticipation for TES6.

This rumor was started by someone on Twitter and is not real.

I’d say that’s okay if only the company is credited by name, but the execs names were included. If they’re including names, include all the names. It’s not a long list from what I saw on Twitter.
