@frank I agree that they are often a bit conservative.
Personally I think I’d have a hard time making a good recommendation, especially for an international audience.
Would a few screenshots, one or two quotes and a summary be helpful? „These are the outfits of the main protagonist (if they show some skin), a character sometimes uses the F word and there’s a demon in the game“
@fallenhitokiri yeah that would be helpful. There is a big difference between realistic blood and gore that almost made ME throw up and “there is some 8-bit Minecraft blood when you head shot a character”
Decided to start a replay of Tomb Raider. Crazy to think the rebooted version is already 11 years old.
When I played this the first time around, I thought this scene looked incredible! And although some of the graphics in this game still stand up well today, it’s definitely showing its age!
playing through Mass Effect 1 the last few days. Man, that game feels somewhat badly designed. It feels like it wants to be both a #crpg and a shooter, and it doesn't quite pull it off.
Also the Legendary Edition I am playing has so many spots that are too dark to see it feels like walking through the game blind at points. If I have to use the map to find the exit of the room there's definitely something wrong.
@kyonshi the Mako sections were very divisive but I loved them, the series leans harder into being a shooter in later instalments, it feels more polished but loses something in the story parts I feel
@kyonshi Hm. I really loved Wrex & Garrus right from the start, and Tali was fun, too. The human woman was grating with her space racism and the human man was actually pretty good, but took time to open up. The only crew member I never really liked was Liara - she was too fan-servicey for me.

@huuishuu cool story. Still shitty. It's never okay to demand others withhold their political message for your own comfort. If you have a problem with the message, you are free to ignore the content. Nobody is forcing you to participate.
#StopKillingGames.com aims to delegalize game publishers thanos-snapping games you've paid real money for when they feel like it. Exactly what Ubisoft recently did with The Crew.
@unfa Would be nice to have a law saying something like: "If the service is terminated and the product becomes unusable, self-hosting of the same service must become available."
One of the PS2's greatest fighters. Hefty, robust gameplay, with a massive roster and a fun story. Bonus Devil Within game is a load of toss though, and the final boss is the franchise's cheatiest yet.
For me: TTT > T3 > T5, still T5 was incredibly strong at release.
T5 actually had new characters that were really fun, whereas 4 was kind of a miss for me, and most other Tekken fans. Both Raven and Feng pictured on the cover felt like fresh air with fun and different play styles compared to the core roster.
I can understand why 4 was a miss for fans, especially at the time - I actually wrote about my experiences with it a few weeks ago!
Tag I have a ton of nostalgia and love for, although over time I've come to prefer fighting games with some narrative weight to them as well as being mechanically strong
I did the #daily#CavesOfQud build. Died horribly (this is the way) quite proud of what I achieved though. It was a fun break from reality. exploring a procedurally generated high tech-low-life fantasy swamp. Love me a good chrome revolver and salve injector.
@jake4480 Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead it's a zombie survival rogue like. Free to play. Expiremental if you like living life in the fast lane, stable if you want to make sure nothing breaks...
My excitement for Crow Country has both increased and decreased after reading James Stephanie Sterling's review on the game! It's a shame that the traps feel like a slap to the face cheap, especially when combat with Guests is balanced well.
@DesRoin Most demos wouldn't overwhelm the player with many mechanics, as it's suppose to be playable. Traps are a later on mechanic which are random and can cause so much damage; James mentions that there are traps that are hard to expect or even look for.
Traps cause too much damage vs Guests, making them a poorly implemented feature. Still the game embraces more of the good vs bad from classic horror games. They rated the game highly despite traps being a pain point.
@thegamerstavern I’m replaying through Tomb Raider with the aim of moving on to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It’s much longer than I remember it being. 😅
