So, doing, for some inexplicable reason, a backflip beforehand and then turning yourself while the door seems to magically open before you even touch it?

Seems kinda useless and lame.

What? How do they open doors where you're from?

Further info (a bit dated)

Hi-Fi Rush appears to have outsold Forspoken on PC (That rythm game that had no promotion and was announced on that Xbox/Bethesda showcase and sold that same day)

At the time of this writing, Hi-Fi Rush, which was released on January 25, is the sixth best-selling game on Steam by revenue, under only giants like Hogwarts Legacy presales, the just-released Dead Space remake, CSGO and Destiny 2.


Forspoken, meanwhile, which was released on January 24, is the 58th best-selling game on Steam, priced at $70. That is…quite the difference.

The Arkane library is pretty good overall. I liked all their titles. I expect this change with Redfall though.

Hookers and coke?
Pre-paid "business" trip to some hot islands for the management?
It sure as hell didn't go into the production of this garbage, that's for sure.

I watched some ~50 min. condensed playthrough of this 7h long game and spoiler alert (like anyone cares)

So, the big dragon is the mom magic priestess/queen of the chosen one nigga girl character. Because mom is white, I assume dad is black. At the end he is mentioned just in passing like his name was Bob or something lel
Also, if I understood correctly, omg big plot twist at the end is that her magic armband is the main bad guy, a demon or some shit. But isn't he the one that transported her to magic world in the first place?
Why? Is it explained like she is needed to destroy the world or some shit? Because her mom dumped her in NY as a baby, not even sending her to her dad and evil demon armband thingy returned her to magic place world.

Besies that stupid generic game that looks average at best with boring combat and typical woke tropes. Main character is Karen like Galadriel and you hope she dies by the end.

Do you people move shit with your mind?

I haven't seen Yahtzee tear into a game like this in a very very very long time. This game might take the crown for the shittiest AAA title of the year.

 

[Aphex81]

I'm going to be honest with you, i will never buy a game with black people in it again, I have black fatigue.

You'd think this is exactly what journalists wanted. It has all the hallmarks of modern game design.

Gaming journalists are mostly abject failures. Maybe this is how failure reproduces.

 

[Average Manatee]

For all the failure that this game is I like how it still proves that even the most head up their ass dev would not dare make the main character the usual ugly ghetto black girl you see as side characters. They know that'd offput everyone even more. She's at least reasonably cute and her dialog is merely zoomer babbling rather than nigger gibberish.

 

[Dadd]

her dialog is merely zoomer babbling rather than nigger gibberish.

What's the difference?

Normal people can actually understand the inane bullshit being said.

"Video game journalist" is one of these things that shouldn't be considered a real job.

Zoomer speak is pretty easy to understand once you know the lingo, it's basically just the equivalent of if you started to use words like "lmao" IRL. It's tedious but the kid just needs to be smacked and told to not speak like a retard among real people. Most of them can do it.

Nigger speak is just fucked beyond belief with no consistent grammar and constant mumbling and slurring of words to the point where you have to run the sentences through your head 4-5 times to figure out what's being said. It's a terminal disease that a speaker will never grow out of.

I've had the thought that niggers say "naamsayin" so much because niggerbabble doesn't have much of a range of expression, so when you try to say anything more complex than "muh dik", you can never be sure if you're being clear.

It's highly expressive. It's just hard to understand. Know what I'm saying?

I meant "range of expression" in the sense of ideas, not emotions.

A lot of jp gamers think Japan makes shit games and that western games are better, actually. It's part of that weird defeatist spirit you see in countries that are also islands, and one of the many aspects of the Island Syndrome. Bear in mind that they might seem extremely patriotic in the outside, but when nobody's looking, they fall into this odd depression about their own country.

Nothing weird about the defeatist spirit. One is a nuclear pedo island, the other is a nation of island Jews.
