Gave the game another try after the update and I’m actually enjoying it now. Gotten to the 2nd map and there are a ton of enemies fighting everywhere now. They really did increase the amount of NPCs you see around the map.
Wanted something moody/dark to play during October and this has scratched that itch.
Only played solo but I’d rate it as a 6.5/10 now. The original version would be like a 5/10 to me.
I found gameplay on YouTube and it’s some of the worst looking gameplay I’ve seen in a game for a while lol. The first 4 minutes is all you need to know.
You might enjoy Alan Wake 1 but the controls aren’t for everyone. I absolutely loved it all the times I played but my friend couldn’t stand the combat.
The story is very mysterious and I can’t recall any gore at all in the game. The only kind of jump scares I can recall were from the combat when I didn’t notice an enemy snuck up on me. It’s something more easily manageable if you play on the easier difficulty as there is less of a threat.
The plot is really fucking great and has some of my favorite narration in a game. And it has a type of Eldritch horror story to it. You’ve probably already experienced it in that Alan Wake dlc for Control. You don’t have to deal with it in Alan Wake like you did in Control.
Watch Next Generation or a few episodes of OG Star Trek & then seeing Wrath of Khan movie.
Starting with Next Generation isn’t a bad option I think. The beginning is rough at parts but has some really good episodes in it. The series got much better after season 2. You could follow a skip list to skip over the episode that are deemed horrible on your first watch to make it all easier. It’s worth going back later to watch them though.
Deep space nine follows up an event that occured in Next Generation, so that show might be confusing till you watch NG.
Voyager is pretty much self-contained since that’s a big part of the story lol. Only thing that could be confusing would be a character that’s sorta important later on that is from NG. It isn’t much but just something to state if stuff like that bothers you.
Enterprise is a pretty okay show I think. It’s the earliest show in the timeline and mankind’s first exploration. People don’t like it for some reasons that are completely justified but it’s never been anything to stop me from enjoying it. Might be best to watch this after others because it is different.
OG Star Trek is a fun series to watch. Really episodic so you can find some of the best episodes and try just watching those. Watch 3/4 of the best (including the one was Khan) and then watch the movie “Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan”.
It’s all showing up on my Series X
There were two parts that made me dislike the quest line.
First it was how the quests kept making me run back and forth across the whole length of Neon core multiple times just to talk to a single person. It got so tiring.
The other part was the final stealth mission. That shit was the worst fucking stealth mission I’ve ever played in a Bethesda game. The stealth mechanics were completely broken in that place and it was only possible for me to stealth it by save scumming 60-70 times in that building.
It’s a shame this game & it’s sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.
Thank god for abandonware websites
I miss my PS4 because you could install a PS2 theme that came with the sounds
Sucks you can’t change it on PS5 yet.
It’s honestly depressing at how Lemmy has turned over the last few months since I joined. I would now never mention I use the site or recommend it to others. There’s just too many fucking landmines for new users to step over to have a good experience here.
I’m sticking with it for the time being, but I don’t see myself ever using it again if it gets worse.
You mentioning the car thing is so true. Anytime you mention stuff about cars here, you’ll get the typical comment reply using it as a soapbox platform to say how cars are the devil.
The FuckCars users are some of the most toxic people on this site. It’s not even worth arguing with them.
October 3rd for anyone wondering.
I was thinking it was licking it’s butt to trigger the cub to poop. Just guessing though.
Same here. This news has me fucking excited to play it.
Tried it on gamepass in the past but couldn’t stand the multiplayer component so I stopped playing.
Akila city is much worse than new Atlantis since it isn’t segmented into sections so you could fast travel to areas. Then I got to Neon and dealt with the Ryujin quest line that basically had me sprint the length of a football field to the other side of the city multiple times before I finished it because there was no fast travel in the city. I upgraded my stamina just for that place lol
And the whole morrowind comparison is BS since they seemed to forget that Morrowind gave you a map and a local map to chart your paths. Please be sure to call out those people for that.
Yeah lol. I think Trevor will sucker punch you if you run into him.
Darn lol. I’ll still pick it up later tonight. I made a mastadon account finally and I’ll test it out on it!
I just finally started watching Gundam and damn do they love putting those kids in mechas. Zeta seems to follow the trend and I guess the other series do too lol.
Does that have Lemmy support yet?
The Blue Sky USA network era :(
Used to love watching that channel during that time.
Holy crap I was trying to figure out why Sam Cole’s VA sounded so familiar. Thanks for helping me finally figure out why lol
