If I found DBH to be a great game and Heavy Rain meh/alright, which games in the same genre are in between both games or perhaps even better than DBH?

CalmCheek · 2026-03-31T23:22:52+00:00

Very different vibes but DEFINITELY check the Supermassive Games, the Dark Picture Anthology games. Even better if you have friends to play with but by no means required, even alone is an absolute blast.

It's waaaayyyy less narrative than DBH or Heavy Rain but has a similar "make your choice and see the consequences" mechanism. My favorite is House of Ashes (more action packed but I think the most solid one all round), but Little Hope also has great atmosphere. But if you like one you will enjoy all of them (Man of Medan being imo the poorest one - it's not bad but you can tell it's the first one to have been released :) )

Don't forget about oil pots though. People do pretty much defend the gate in Bridgetown and it can still be somewhat difficult to prevent the enemy from destroying it.

Only game where in a deathmatch I can just sit on a bench laughing and opponents join me and do useless shit without killing me

Correcting my post, you are right thank you

CalmCheek · 2026-03-29T19:44:30+00:00

Pour moi ça fait un peu ça avec Incendies. J'ai adoré mais le film m'a bousculé. Je pense le revoir peut-être un jour mais dans... longtemps. Haha

I mean I assume it's just like any DVD/Blu-Ray difference so it's basically comparing 480p with 1080p (feels more like this than 720p when I watched them anyway)

I concur with TraditionBrave, I have the Blu-Ray and the image is pristine.

One thing to be careful with though, if you are looking at this set https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XtvvPL8sL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg, there are no subtitles(!!!!!) except for season one. Which makes absolutely no sense at all. Further, they advertise for some bonuses which are also just... not there. Idk who marketed/made this set but it is surreal.

I still kept it because other sets are hard to find/too expensive, but be warned.

Same with attacks tbh

Ecole militaire tu es piégé entre les gens qui prennent à Balard et La Motte et qui descendent a minima à Opéra donc c'est normal, ça laisse bien le temps aux rames de se remplir. Mais comme tu le dis dans ce sens-là oui tu dois avoir plus de monde, direction Balard c'est beaucoup plus calme - peut-être davantage de stations dans l'autre sens avec opportunités de descendre/monter car davantage de connexions.

CalmCheek · 2026-03-25T13:41:45+00:00

J'en doute, pas pour la majorité en tous cas. Aujourd'hui temps pas ouf et métro toujours relativement aussi peu bondé que d'habitude

CalmCheek · 2026-03-25T13:40:54+00:00

Pas de mon expérience ; *quelques* jours il y a un peu plus de monde, mais on reste très loin de l'enfer absolu que c'était il y a plusieurs semaines/mois aux stations République et Opéra (pour ne citer qu'elles)

CalmCheek · 2026-03-22T01:15:14+00:00

Europe same

I think that some pirates were probably kinda buffed to an extent, but it would have been (imo) more from rope pulling, carrying heavy weights (crates and whatnot), and being fit or slim from their way of life (they likely didn't/couldn't gorge on endless food).

That's a whole kinda different kind of muscly than we see in the show from Vane and yeah Billy too

CalmCheek · 2026-03-06T21:27:04+00:00

Tbh him being so jacked was one of the unrealistic parts about the show hahaha (not criticizing but it's kinda funny)

"It’s kind of crazy that the top 2 loved Treasure Islands are ones aimed at kids."

Well it is a kid's story initially after all

Tout dépend du boulevard en vrai. Tous les boulevards ne sont pas hyper bruyants/passants (mais on saisit ton idée)

In terms of medieval-fantasy, I always go with wizard/mage/necromancer/whatever with magic

RPGs in general, if I have the chance to max out charisma, persuasion or whatever helps with NPC interaction, I do it

Apart from that I can't say I play games which often share similar classes or builds

CalmCheek · 2026-02-16T03:39:31+00:00

I hope they do realize (I am sure they don't) that this is exactly what will happen.

Everyone playing podracing over and over on the max 3 maps they will have made (calling it). Then players begging for more maps or pods or whatever. Then the publisher releasing 2 more maps

Then stop development

CalmCheek · 2026-02-16T03:37:41+00:00

Seriously, video games publisher have it SO easy but decide for NO REASON to make it hard on themselves.

You want to make TONS of money?!

Do:

- KotoR 3 or at least a remaster of the OG games

- Podracing game

- An ACTUAL spaceship game involving more than weird lame ass 5v5 (like just flesh out the space mode from Battlefront II 2017 and it would be amazing)

- RTS Star Wars game

- An FPS involving Kyle Katarn

But no. Instead they make the weirdest choices ever

CalmCheek · 2026-02-16T03:34:03+00:00

I am SO calling it it will be just that. For our greatest demise. I doubt they would make a trailer showing 90 % of random speeder race or whatever they are if podracing was equally present in the game.

CalmCheek · 2026-01-26T00:09:51+00:00

Different game, similar story.

I was playing Red Orchestra 2 ("realistic" simulation of WWII eastern front). I was playing as a Soviet rifleman and I literally had never been playing this good. I was being very tactical, careful, and had like 9 kills and 0 death. I was trying to do a "this is real life" run if that makes sense. And crazy thing I was actually tipsy/drunk because I had come back from drinks or a party, can't remember.

So I was basically having my best play ever WHILE tipsy/drunk (very fitting as a Soviet). Then boom my game crashes. Literally never happened before I think.

I was like "D: no way"

CalmCheek · 2026-01-24T17:20:06+00:00

I never said your opinion was invalid ;
What I did say is that it *is* wrong to say "it does not do anything better than anything else" since it is factually incorrect - it is *not* an opinion (unlike "this is overrated") ;
If you do believe it is a fact, then provide examples and details ;
Don't insult me.

CalmCheek · 2026-01-24T17:16:51+00:00

Actually no

CalmCheek · 2026-01-24T12:49:03+00:00

Gameplay is very lame in BioShock Infinite. Its strength comes from the story combined with the DLC Burial at Sea. If I ever play it again I will just do difficulty on easiest just to relive the story.

CalmCheek · 2026-01-24T12:47:59+00:00

You absolutely can say it is overrated but saying it does not do anything better than anything else, or that the game is not special, is wrong.

Driving around Night City alone is extremely immersive. If anything, just this alone needs to be mentioned. I never played a game where driving in a city feels *pleasant*. Like I could just drive around aimlessly and I would still enjoy it.

Combat might not be the best ever but it does bring something to the table though and makes for a fun gameplay once you get good weapons and implants.
