Woah, suddenly I received a notification from this thread again. I was wondering why my life felt so peaceful up until now.

lol, the release date. i know that's the year the game is set in, but it's insane you can set the release date to some year in the 23rd century

It gets better; Steam had to approve this release date during reviewing :p

I imagine the dating system only goes that high due to the estimated time it will take them to make and release Half life 3.

So, vapourware?

The pain I felt when I received a notification about someone bumping this hellhole again...

RPGCodex has killed another game.

It's Danganronpa AND it's Mario Kart?

I want to like this, but I'm having a bit of a hard time getting it up for this sort of thing anymore. I feel like my gaming brain is so very old, tired and impotent at this point. I can't get reasonably excited about any game. Even franchises that I loved and played a lot over the years, franchises that I was able to get back to and use them to nurse my depression, borne from the state of the industry, even those taste like yesterday's microwaved deep-frozen pizza.

And the worst part is that while I want to take the moral high ground and explain how modern games are garbage, I know that it's my brain and my jaded ass that can't ever see games with the fresh bright eyes that I could nearly 25-30 years ago.

 

[HeyCheckOutHowHardICanPee]

why would you get excited for something that isn't out yet

do you wipe before you shit?

Fuck! Her penetrator is looking good!

 

[Pound Meat]

Looks interesting but a gun called "penetrator?" There's an awful lot of natural looking/sounding females too. We'll see how much survives after the trannies at Doomworld are done with it.

 

[Melcar]

I want to penetrate.

Purple blood?

Also, the voice acting is terrible.

You can do it, gurl.

I think this has been stated before but the problem with the character is the absence of correlation between her thoughts and actions.
Kinda like this Tomb Raider mene:

Not commenting on the protagonist in this game (who seems fine from the videos so far), but this ^ kind of thing in other modern games always alienates me. Every other protagonist is all "holy shit!" and "alright, you can do this" and "I... I can't go on!!!".

Characters in games just whine nowadays. Nobody's SOLUTIONS-FOCUSED any more. Gordon Freeman was solutions-focused. No fucking about, just grabs an MP5 and starts firing on US forces. Same for original Lara Croft - T-Rex came out of fucking nowhere, no problem, just start backflipping and open fire.

It's not just games, it's in a lot of TV shows and films nowadays, the protagonists will just start having breakdowns mid-story. I don't get it, that's not even how people act in real life. Imagine if every time you tried to make Mario jump into a painting in M64, he would instead fall to the ground first (with shaky camera) and say "oh no! I cannot a-do it! I cannot a-go on-a!"

A consequence of nowadays' society being weaklings that break at the first sign of hardship. Or at least thinking like that and infecting their work with such ideas.

 

[JDR13]

They should have just went with a silent protagonist.

Purple blood is pretty damn odd. They are humans right?

No

Are you trying to say the vast majority of modern games aren't garbage? If so, fuck you. This industry sold out faster than the Afghan Military.

 

[toughasnails]

Quality waifuware.

 

[Alienman]

She looks like a dwarf.

 

[Lemming42]

Pretty cool, very reminiscent of the forgotten game Eradicator. I assume it'll play pretty similarly, which is to say third person will be unuseable from a gameplay standpoint but will still be a fun novelty.

Tangentially related but does anyone have an index of all the new FPS games in development? There's like a fucking hundred at this point, there's no way to keep track of all this.
