Negative reviews are about old stuff that was sorted out, so don't let that keep you away. Also if you aren't chinese, you might need to delete one file from folder to make game work. It's IQ test for newcomers.

Finished my replay of SMT Nocturne after some years... Man what a game. Definitely one of my all time favorites. Superb art design and atmosphere, they just don't make them like they used to.
Spooky, twisted hallway. Coupled with the OST of the Diet building it was legit scary to walk down here.
Ahriman trying to act tough while being by far the easiest reason boss. Cool design though. Hikawa is also a great character that I really didn't appreciate enough before.
By far the saddest picture in game. Noah crying blood in the background and Isamu totally defeated... Also I'm pretty sure the Amala network is supposed to represent the internet, and the reason of Musubi is trying to hint at Otakus/Neets getting lost in the "Amala network" each living in their own world.

Never really gave this game a proper shot when I was younger, going in blind and avoiding guides I played the Lion's War mod version. To my surprise ran into none other than Ashley Riot. And this fight took me over an hour, as I had some of my best guys in those Bar proposition quests. I finally nailed those cloaked dudes with Ice 3, and as my mage was on the run, one of them stepped on a sleep trap.

That Queen game had that thing where you could use the CD as a normal music CD as well.

Finished Echo Point Nova today. It is a great game, the screenshots don't do it justice as they can't capture the fast paced game play, which involves insane movement on a hoverboard in combination with a grappling hook.

Seems like a friendly club.
I guess these prisoners are not the ones that need to be rescued.
Bah, can't even loot the stores.
A comment on today's game industry?
If only the in-game version was as awesome.
Thanks, but I'd rather find Morrowind.
Comfy.
What, are you upset I took your secret stash?

I don't think he'll be needing it anymore.
Neither will they.

Max Payne is a game best enjoyed over a weekend across two or more sittings of intense and lethal action. As you progress through the game you move to more affluent areas and towards the central rot found in power, going from gunning down mobsters in filthy streets and ran down apartments to professionals on the direct payroll of the truly rich and powerful in the second half. With it comes the well-founded paranoia of the period, whispers that those in power have less than benevolent intentions and are in some sense only crime families with greater ambitions than the rest of them. Hidden agendas, cover-ups, psy-ops, deals made in smoke filled rooms behind closed doors. The naïve notion that the press or a government body would really care that much about something that would scandalise the ordinary citizen.
As Y2K began it was mostly tongue in cheek conspiracy theories, some taking it more seriously than others. Now it's no longer an allowed playground for creatives, frogs really did get hormonal problems from tainted waters, drinking American tap is one quick way to get autism and reduced IQ, the Kung Flu of Wuhan fame came from a biolab the Umbrella corp logo outside and regimes did abuse quarantine protocol to destroy the last vestiges of real social contact in the third place and small businesses. By now most conspiracies you can think of have been proven true, many admitted to by the state, or else documented in leaks. Whereas Max Payne proposed that state-corporate fraternities were the ones really pushing smack in the street, Deux Ex had preemptively removed the twin towers from the NY skyline in 2000 already, making entertainment of what you now have to go to some several google hit pages deep substack or Cleve podcast to see even discussed. In the before times, in the wild west of the internet, hacker kids were discussing Ted Kaczynski's manifesto in their newsgroups. More philosophical and removed from the X-Files pop and clichés of that one good guy in the circles of power that is on the side of the little people and would turn it all around given the chance.
Screenshots taken from the original finished version of the game, not the broken GOTY edition that came with old versions of maps. The immediate sequel dropped all ties to reality and took a flight from the five minutes into the future into a far-future romp where the fictions couldn't hit too close to home and had less predictive power. Despite the vastly different outcomes in Deus Ex it never felt like the question it posed was satisfactory resolved, the Dark Age ending offering a hint of respite from tech-capital but nothing more. In Max Payne you get to climb the Nakatomi Plaza skyscraper after a shootout mirroring the lobby scene from The Matrix, it's more fascistic, not seeking all the answers, just ending the cancer positioned in its ivory tower of steel and glass, that was not only looking down at the masses, but actively harming them. Taking the role of God's instrument in making the tower of Babel fall. At the end you turn yourself in since the vigilante isn't opposed to law and order but is rather the enforcer of true justice.

Look at these beautiful, reasonably-historically-accurate nuragic villages with their elegant tholoi... there's even an exquisite tomba dei giganti. Aren't you excited for one of the oldest properly European civilizations to be finally represented in video games?
These screenshots are from Hegemony III: Isle of Giants, announced as "coming soon" in 2020. The developer went completely MIA after that, no signs of life, no updates on any social media since 2021. This game will never happen. You will never build beautifully prestigious nuragic villages in bronze age Sardinia. Get ready to play another fantasy/sci-fi/postapo/cyberpunk game instead.
