Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever heard that term before in my life and I’ve been doing this for a while.

And I don’t think I ever wanna hear it again.

The .NET rebuild they did on steam is actually pretty solid IMO.

Especially if you mod it to use the AI upscale backgrounds

It also has a 20 times speed mode that makes the chocabo mini game bearable.

Was just about to cancel gamepass and then saw this dropped. I can hold onto it for one more month to check this out.

I think you can patient gamer it but it only works if you’re heavily familiar with that time.

I was really into COD4 and grew up during the Bush administration so I knew exactly what Spec Ops was critiquing. If you don’t have that experience though I agree it does not land.

Yeah that’s fair.

IMO a lot of the subtlety comes from the imagery and symbols around you as you progress through the game. The vibrant tree that you pass that burns up when you look back, etc.

As far as gameplay goes it is very linear. The only “choice” is to stop playing. If I remember correctly the development behind Spec Ops was very rushed so they didn’t have time to so any of those branching paths.

I appreciate it like I would a visual novel more than I do an interactive game.

No Starch Press usually does good stuff.

No Starch, Manning, and O’Reilly are my go to publishers for tech books.

I try to avoid Packt like the plague.

And not make the site impossible to use.

Most sites nowadays its impossible to actually read a goddamn article without 5 pop in videos and ad breaks.

Yeah I’m all for it. I fucking love deck building games.

Persona 3 Reload. Only played a bit of the original but I’m loving this remake. The QoL updates make it feel more fun and less of a slog. And I love the newer graphic style.

Did a bit of helldivers 2 with friends. Good fun but between work and kids I don’t have a lot of multi-player game time anymore.

@games The Suicide Squad may already be dead, with Kill the Justice League game previews not looking so good

Problem is you can’t milk $10000 out of the single player games like you can GaaS ones. Meaning it’s harder to pitch to investors.

Personally I can’t stand it and end up just avoiding AAA titles altogether because of it.

Just started this one but Afterimage is becoming a big favorite of mine. A really great Metroidvania game.

Older, but also played Frostpunk. It’s a really great twist on a city building game. Highly recommended.

One odd ball I’ll throw out is Last Case of Benedict Fox. It’s a complete mess of a game, but the exploration and puzzles are a lot of fun. I never realized how much I want a metroidvania where you go around just solving puzzles. If LCBF just dropped all combat and focused on puzzle-solving it would have been a lot better.
