Sly Cooper (the first one, I believe) has a trophy pop-in as soon as you get control of thr character, after a short cut scene.
That trophy isn’t 100% either.

This looks like Chrono Trigger to me.

No worries, will keep an eye out on your next Zomboid post.

Our new player was sure it “can’t be that bad”
As the audience, I want it to be really bad now 😁
Also, where are the plate armour pics?

This reviewed better than I expected. There seems to be some issues, hopefully devs can patch out some of those.
Glad for the devs!

What do you think about the game after watching the extended look? Lemmy seems to be very anti-GTA, there is another post sharing the trailer and it’s also highly downvoted.
I haven’t been feeling excited for big open-world sandboxes these days, and this same. To me, this is just the “next GTA”, better graphics, different side activities, different map, but still the GTA. I would love to play this, but somewhere down the road, don’t care enough about it right now.
All my friends are super excited though.

They have also made the first two expansions free. So if you have a base game you get the upgrade and both expansions.

I am not sure if it makes me feel better…

If we forget previous posts, the pic where you are putting mace on Cable’s bed, but you are alone, gives the feeling that there is no Cable. Just a lonely man in apocalyptic world, making imaginary friends so that he can keep going.
Harvested all the eggs? Not going to increase their population?

Then again. I have some friends who are absolutely terrified of resource management in horror games
That’s me! It’s one thing if you have enough bullets to shoot anything that moves, but if you can’t even fight back properly, that’s a completely another level of horror.

Not sure how much they had already planned when the base game is made, but there’s a Control DLC linking it to Alan Wake 2, so they must have some ideas. I even played that DLC before playing Alan Wake, and that is what actually interested me in the game. As someone who runs away from all horror games I wasn’t planning to play Alan Wake before playing that DLC.

Publisher makes money from exclusivity deal, and the subscription makes money because of exclusive content.
Whether that money is worth it not is a different maths though.
- Comment on Day 762 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
I played Control before Alan Wake, so didn’t get any of the reference that you mentioned. I don’t replay games much (except few exceptions, like Skyrim) but Control was really fun, might be interesting to play it again before Alan Wake 2.

Since it’s Lemmy, might be a good idea to add an AI usage disclaimer, whether you use it or not, just explicitly mention it.

Why do you sail the high seas? Don’t like DRM on steam, or some other reason?

Poor chick. 😢

Kudos well deserved then 😀

Heh, you at least used stock art, I have known people who used to think copying images from “Google Images” is fine. 😀 People (mostly) know better now though.
As for games, there are tons of free assets available these days, which aren’t best for for releasing a game, but are good enough for prototyping, and even developing rest of the game.
And don’t worry too much about it, we all have our personality quirks that can be beneficial in certain aspects of life but a little annoying in others aspects. Just need to slowly learn the balance.

So, as a minecraft noob, does this mean he just “downloaded” a pre-made Kirby and put it here, or just that he saw how to make one and made it brick by brick?
- Comment on Day 751 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
That Kirby looks great. Kudos to whoever made that!
- Comment on Day 748 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I can understand, I have been trying my had at a 2D game, and I never realised how much visual content you need for a game, and if a small 2D game need so much of that, I can only guess how much a 3D game will need.
I think at younger level, while learning, it’s fine to work alone, this gives you a breadth of knowledge and you learn about all the different aspects, but learning to work with others is also a useful skill and one that you should eventually work on.

You should keep it up, would love to see your progress in 3D modeling! (Of course, that is assuming you have interest in 3D modeling)
- Comment on WTF Is Happening To The Video Game Industry? 5 weeks ago:
I pretty much agree with your whole point here, so I had to go back and re-read what we were discussing 😀
I think the fighting for scraps thing come from everyone having limited time for these entertainment. Games aren’t just competing with other games, they are also competing with Netflix and other such entertainment, as well as from games like Fortnite and Roblox. You can argue that these people won’t play other games no matter what, but they are still party of that growth that video game industry has seen. They are still part of that 3+ billion gamers the industry claim (or 100+ Million console gamers, if just talking about consoles). And I think that’s where some of the issue comes from, all companies want their share from that pie of gamers which leads to all these decisions.

That Blender recreation looks pretty good, I first thought it was some game mod that allowed you zoom in or get in 3rd person view where you took the screenshot. So really nice work there.
- Comment on WTF Is Happening To The Video Game Industry? 5 weeks ago:
Well, I am not sure how game companies define their target audience, but aren’t these players part of the same “gamers” pie that all these companies want to get attention of? These kids would still be playing games if there was no Fortnite, but it’s the live service game that is keeping them so engaged that they don’t have time for much else.
Of course if they aren’t even the target customers, then that discounts this whole argument.
- Comment on WTF Is Happening To The Video Game Industry? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t have the data Mat has, but anecdotally, I agree with him. My kid wants to sometimes play a single player game if he watches me play it and likes it, but it will always be when his friends aren’t online to play Fortnite with him. And it’s not just him, it’s all his friends and cousins and their friends and cousins. They play Fortnite / Roblox etc primarily, and occasionally, if no one is online to play that with them, they may take a look at something else.

Yes, not sure if it was called beta or something else, but the “stable” release just came out.

where the truth of the apocalypse hits you, the dread of being alone against the world knowing you will fail but not knowing how and when
That’s a pretty interesting take.

I saw the release announcement and was thinking about pinging you about it, guess I didn’t have to!
When you mentioned Jerry finding something he could actually love, I thought you will be talking about eating chickens next 😀
Glad to see Jerry and Cable back, looking forward to their adventures.
