Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - first person adventure from MachineGames

Why is he talking to himself? That's not Indy.

That's Indy directed by David Lynch. If you and your father slept with the same woman, you'd start talking to yourself as well.

Punching fascists non-stop...

Day 1.

 

[orcinator]

It looks like a game made specifically for game pass, which is also what Avowed looks like. Bare minimum just to make the subscription look appealing, like how Netflix churns out endless trash to make the list of available content longer.

I'm coming to the realization that this thing is going to be bundled with my grafix card instead of stalker.
What a nightmare (I was going to sell off the key either way, but still).

"At the end of the day, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is just okay. While the story and gameplay are both lackluster, the thrill of being able to role play as our favourite Archaeologist and punch Nazis is a much needed catharsis in today's political landscape. Not to be missed! 10/10 Editor's choice."

Eurogamer or something, probably...

PCGamer seems excited

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has a face-melting 4 hours of cutscenes: 'This is the biggest and longest game that Machine Games have ever done'

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/i...ngest-game-that-machine-games-have-ever-done/

To put it in more familiar times, watching all the cutscenes in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will take as much time as watching about 1.72 Last Crusades. That's damn near almost two Temples of Doom! If you don't have a lot of time to spare, I hope you're a quick hand at navigating ancient temples. Still, if you're eager for Indy, it sounds like there's no risk that the Great Circle will leave you underserved.

Imagine thinking two movies worth of cutscenes is something to brag about. They wanted to show Jones so much, yet made it in first-person view.

"MachineGames' creative director Axel Torvenius was a guest on the MinnMax YouTube channel, and he revealed that The Great Circle has 'a lot' of cutscenes that when combined run 'roughly three hours and 45 or 40 minutes or something along those lines.' He added that it is 'the biggest and longest game that MachineGames have ever done.'"

I just pray they let Indy be an actual hero instead of trying to diminish him for having misogynistic attitudes and white privilege.

Don't think neither Todd nor the Swedes will give you a Reagan-era Indy. And that's a good thing.

He's a jewish caricature played by a jewish actor, he's as white as your synagogue's rabbi.

They turned off showing how many likes it has, which in turn disables the ability for the addon to see how many dislikes too. Hmmmm, I wonder why

 

[Mauman]

Wow.....looking at this thread has made me realize that Morgoth really is a little retarded cuck. I mean, I had my suspicions.....

Also, I'm getting this for free due to getting it in a bundle with my new laptop.* I'm tempted to not even redeem it.

Alternatively, I COULD play it if only to give it a review without giving Bethesda money directly at least.

*In my defense, I didn't even know of the bundle. I just wanted the laptop with it's 700 dollar off sale.

You’re using the shitty version of the extension that doesn’t actually scrape the data, but infers it

 

[Late Bloomer]

This is how it looked. If you have an addon that passes through this, then list it. I'll make the picture HUGE too.

 

[Late Bloomer]

I'll let you guess why they turned them on at a later date. I am fairly certain you can figure it out all on your own though.

Every sale counts for AAA slop.
Use generic stutter engine%15.
Add AI upscaling because your game runs at 10 fps at 480p because your crowning achievement as a dev was a calculator that couldn't add.
Said AI upscaling requires a 1k+ gpu to run at acceptable framerate.
Pc sales don't reach expectations because of said optimization.
AAA marketing analysts stomped while demanding a 10% increase in pay to make it never happen again.
Do the same thing for the next AAA slop.

I foresee a 2030 AAA-AA pc crash when nvidia releases the 150000.5 with 2 gb of vram for 1.5k Trump bucks.

I don't think they want to sell games anymore.

The crash is actually happening right now bro, we're currently in the gradually phase of the Gradually and then suddenly collapse of the industry

i use return youtube dislikes as a userscript for mobile, and tampermonkey script for desktop. you can live link them to the github repo on both platforms so they update like a normal extension.

i forgot how badly xenofor deals with mobile screenshots (i.e. doesn't scale them)

 

[JC'sBarber]

Never thought I'd see the day when 32GB of RAM was the 'recommended' amount for a video game. I can't even call the AAA industry "unsustainable", every new release is the equivalent of Crysis and not in a good way.
