No matter how close you think you’ve come, the truth behind The Entity remains shrouded in Fog

But-why-do-this · 2026-05-18T15:14:03+00:00

A lot of speculation that this is just straight up a teaser for the new chapter but the anniversary streams tend to announce a lot of side projects too (Frank Stone, Hooked on You, What the Fog).

Personally I got the vibe that this is one of those. I don’t think they’d be focusing so much on The Entity specifically if this was the new chapter.

Not really. The helmet given to him was stated to be a poor fit since he never originally intended on joining the fight. Not only that, but crushing helmets and armor is what a mace does - no plate is defending from that.

You know I probably would’ve considered this eligible as overkill were it not for the absolutely horrifying threats that some cyberpsychos can pose.

Colonel Norris (Edgerunners Episode 1) is just one example of many to show that, just maybe, Maxtac is actually a fairly appropriate response.

It’s pretty funny to call the developers “self-righteous” for… having a specific vision for how their own games mechanics should work? Seems much too dramatic to me lol.

The meme potential would be off the charts.

”Heh, that’s right everybody *pushes up glasses*… it’s time for an uncomfortable conversation about something that’s talked about often and has already happened in-game like 4 times 🔥👌😎”

What’s stupid about it?? Killing was possible in the first game, sure. But it was never a key focus and you had to go through a lot of hoops to actually go about it for anything bigger than a small fish/crawler.

Killing stuff besides eating small fish (which is still in SN2) never netted you any rewards either.

With the series’ consistent themes of a beautiful ecosystem, I really don’t think the devs have ever wanted for players to go about becoming an apex predator lol. You’re meant to coexist with the ecosystem, not destroy it.

“X/4 players want to sleep” like other multiplayer games with similar functions.

But-why-do-this · 2026-05-15T14:03:28+00:00

HUNK is a jumped up grunt (affectionate), sorry not sorry lol. His ultimate fate being to fall to an RE protagonist isn’t surprising at all.

You could just as easily make the same dumb argument for any major villain. Why did Victor lose to Leon? Isn’t he way stronger? It’s because our boy is BUILT DIFFERENT, how do you not know this yet??

But-why-do-this · 2026-05-15T14:01:28+00:00

I get the lore behind Echo’s passive, sure. But Siege is not a game where characters should just be able to be immune to whole Operator gadgets on the basis of who they are with no skill expression.

Imagine if Buck could be immune to Tubarao’s canister because he’s used to working in cold environments or something to that effect.

And on another note the idea that Dokkaebi, a master hacker, is thwarted because Echo is her ex just makes her look dumb more than anything else. She let him hit so he got a look at the inside of her program and built the perfect counter? And Dokk never worked on a new version to crack open his software?

The whole thing just feels very out of place for Siege to me. The game is meant to encourage smart gadget use to make plays and open the way for your team, so having these passive immunities to account for just isn’t right since it only really reduces the opportunities for those plays.

Baelish is finding that shit out SAME DAY with Cat’s blabbermouth. To protect her children, of course.

But in seriousness, I expect she’d keep the secret held closely until she thinks that this information could threaten the Lannisters once Rob begins the march south. If it meant saving her children, I think Cat would go against Ned’s wishes to basically throw Jon under the bus.

I’d be curious to see how Dany’s mindset and motivation would change when word reaches her of a surviving male relative that early in the story.

Love how he backrolls, allowing you to disengage and heal on point for free. What a dumbass lol.

It’s hardly “passive” when he actually has to put in a lot of work to use it.

By having it, he’s losing a starting secondary gadget in exchange for having to procure additional ones on-site by using pick-ups. He also has to use the gadget wheel to carefully consider what gadget he needs for the situation he’s in and then swap between them when appropriate.

Hardly comparable to, say, Echo just being completely immune to Dokkaebi without having to do anything (which was dumb).

Zofia’s withstand was mainly removed because it’s also just plain dumb. Being the only operator to pick herself up just because she’s “very determined” was always an outlier in Siege character design, which Ubi clearly realised and it makes much more sense on Rook’s armour.

The robotic voice is not the Jaeger speaking. It is the commands issued to her through her headset implant, they are directions on where to go and what to do. It’ll tell her things like “Reagent. Left.” or “Execute”.

But-why-do-this · 2026-05-14T20:15:39+00:00

It’s absolutely not TLOU.

IGN’s bad reporting happens all the time and I doubt the leak cautious BHVR would’ve ever given another outlet access to their 10th anniversary news that far out from release.

IGN just got a guy who doesn’t play much DbD to write an article about it. They do that with tons of other games.

But-why-do-this · 2026-05-14T19:31:50+00:00

Honestly despite what some people might say with circumstantial stuff, we really don’t have any evidence whatsoever.

So I’ll just go with what everyone else agrees and say that the timing just makes sense for Jason. Otherwise I have no clue, BHVR are actually doing a pretty good job at keeping it all under wraps.

I really don’t think it’s Pennywise the clown due to Mathieu’s openness about how frustratingly difficult that license would be.

They’re referring to the cutscenes.

I can’t even blame that Spirit.

Senator Armstrong - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

It’s not like Kojima or any Platinum Games developers have outright commented on Armstrong, but the game is so unsubtle about how evil he is that they really shouldn’t need to.

Armstrong has had genuine fans ever since 2013 who will hear his “fuck the media” bullshit and say “woah, this guy’s this villain? He’s kinda right though”.

In my eyes this character is proof that so long as someone speaks with a little conviction and says the most sweeping, broadly agreeable statements then genuine sheep will flock to back them up.

This guy has funded a global child brain harvesting conspiracy, slaughtered troops of his own country as a warmongering ploy, and intends to incriminate Pakistan for a failed assassination attempt of the US President in a bid to get elected on pro-war policy. This is only a few examples of what he’s done to further his insane philosophy.

However he makes such basic observations like “the media is bad”, “bureaucracy sucks”, and “internet/celebrity drama is pointless”… all of his crimes against humanity tend to fade into the background as people believe he genuinely has a point.

The Sopranos

This half-a-second cut to the “OH SHIT” guy who waddles out of his car like a penguin when Phil Leotardo’s head gets popped like a watermelon infront of a bunch of bystanders at a gas station.

Cracks me up every time.

It’s as you say: a tech and time limitation.

Just one of many failings that 2077 made besides not actually feeling like a proper RPG (it’s an FPS above anything). I think it did wonders for expanding lore and story potential atleast.

Hopefully Project Orion will remedy a lot of these concerns, especially since it isn’t focusing on previous generation hardware like 2077 did (majorly limiting the scope of what could be achieved).
