saboteur is basically an ubi game iirc
That's kind of an insult to Ubisoft games. it aspired to be both a GTA and Assassin's Creed and failed to live up to either. Game has 9000 different targets to destroy in order to earn money but you quickly gain a surplus of it and any further demolition just serves to make an easier game even easier. They were going to have planes and the very first mission ends with you escaping on to a runway then just cuts to you driving peacefully away from the base as they couldn't get the game to stream fast enough on consoles to include planes so they just axed them entirely.

If I were to compare it to any game I would say it's a less entertaining Just Cause. The only thing that is has going for it is the tits.
sounds pretty bad then. it's always kinda sketchy how they throw it together with other "retro" games it has nothing to do with, like the selection that just got released. ea doesn't really want that game in their catalogue it seems lul

Some potatoes are reporting that Dungeon Keeperr 2 contains Loszek Pieszczoszek (Pet Dungeon in the original) with potato voice.

Somehow it does not show up on the Steam page and it's missing from GOG version despite GOG being (sorta) Potato site and they could not get it for years while EA just randomly drop it on Steam? That's... odd.

Great game, I already own it on the 360 but nabbed it on Steam now too.

Gonna replay it over the coming weeks alongside finishing up KOTOR and going through KOTOR 2 too.

Honestly, if you want a great looking, tiddy infested, brain-off modern blast to break up RPGs, then the Saboteur is ideal.

Codex 2014 Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy

I've mentioned previously how some modern games either seem to purposefully include minor elements that are made to either trigger a pre-defined response from players, or accidentally trigger such a response.

This is one such game: I've watched a few vtubers play this game, and they've all hummed along to the tune of the ice cream truck - even as it's trying to kill them.

EDIT: Checked the above video, and even he couldn't resist the tune, even though he shows great restraint and only does a couple of bars.

As for the game itself - it really gets people's blood flowing having to dodge the cars, but three elements join forces here to detract heavily from the experience:

# The in-game lighting is bizarre and works against the player.
# The plot/backstory is stupid, pointless and distracting.
# As mentioned, it's far too short.

I'd say $8 is asking too much. $5 sounds more fairer.

It was a fun game at release. The art direction was interesting.
Who grew up with fond memories of Saboteur?
Nice tiddies :popcorn:
Wasn't it paid for DLC to remove the nipple covers?
A new Tribes game?!?!?!
Oh, early access ...
