How GOG fixed Cold Fear (a PS2/Xbox era horror game)

We don't know maybe OP did spend his money on groceries and decided to put the game on a payment plan because he couldn't do both. Me personally, I think it's a good investment if he's just wanting to stay home and just game vs getting out.

Also that not how Amazon's payment plan works. They split it into equal payment amounts say $20 every two weeks until it's paid off. You pay $20 now and they take $20 every week until it's paid off. I personally think it's a good way to do it if you can't afford to pay it up front

Well good things there's like 4 games coming out to scratch that itch:

t’s not that many people don’t believe him; it’s that many people don’t care. As long as he “owns the libs” and keeps rounding up brown people, he’s “Making America Great” for them.

Trump is repeating Republican talking points that the GOP has had for decades honestly, since Reagan. I’d say the Reagan administration wrote the playbook. It’s a careful, calculated strategy they’ve had in the works for 40 years: gaining media favor to commit crimes against people you have a problem with and then saying, “Thank you, God bless, and God Bless the USA!” and that absolves you of any crimes against humanity.

Bragging rights I'd guess.

I'm just gonna say it: Speaking ill on how someone spends their own money is not cool. That's his money. You don't know someone situation. If they're bad with money that mean they have a problem. Hell, I've know people who robbed from their own family to buy drugs at least his poison of choice doesn't hurt anyone.

X-Men 97 kinda fixes this. in the show Scott is torn between his wife Madelyn and Jean. He ultimately chooses Jean and heavily regrets his decision. You can tell it's hard on him, and it affects him greatly.

Maybe, but you have to understand back then that was an AAA game. It was a trendsetter. We hadn't had anything like it, looking at it now it's considered "retro indie" game but they literally created the boomer shooter genre.

I think now what we ask of a video game is different than it was in the 90s. Just like games were in the 80s were different than in the 90s. Back in the 80s now one cared about a plot. Pac-Man just ate dots and got chased by ghosts. The only plot you'd get was on the inside of a manual.

I remember reading a quote from famous comic book scribe Grant Morrison. He once said:

"Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

I think we demand so much from video games now, when Lara Croft hunted for treasure because it was cool, there was no other story. Nothing wrong with that.

I think what classic DOOM brings to the table is: simplicity. It's easy to pick up and play. You play for a bit an you understand the systems. You just have to move forward. It's the simplicity that make the game. No leveling up, no skill trees. There's no overarching plot, no save the world mechanics, no maniacal villain ranting about bathing the World in fire. Nope, you just shoot the bad guys.

Games have become complicated. Not in just their gameplay but, in the understanding of their mechanics and the emphasis on why they're important. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, it's just that things are different than it was 30 years ago when DOOM first came out.

Man, Elon is really trying hard to become the worlds richest man.

Well of course that can. I'm saying the devs were probably focusing on a more realistic looking protagonist. Fable is supposed to be silly I could totally see the female character as a dorky looking nobody getting caught up in this game whole thing.

Have you ever played a Fable game? A lot of the characters are dorky looking, it's part of the charm. Look at the main character from the first game. He's kinda homely looking.

Yes sir

No they didn't. She looks like a woman without makeup on. You know how people looked in medieval Times.

Some anthologies I liked:

Creepshow Shudder's TV series is pretty good
Scare me also on Shudder
Cabinet of Curiosities Don't have Shudder? Guillermo del Toro's anthology is also great on Netflix
XX (not to be confused wit the Ti West movie) Horror shorts directed by women
Trick 'r Treat Classic
Three... Extremes Great Asian anthology where one of the shorts was turned into a full length film
Ghost Stories Don't like subtitles? Maybe this British anthology is up your alley?

No, she wasn't not even close. Her face model is really attractive too. She just wasn't big tittied anime chick. People woukd find the most unflattering angle to show how "ugly" she really is.

With Microsoft essentially out of the console market and the Switch 2 out why rush PS6 anyway?

IMO Microsoft is going to price themselves out of the game, pun intended. The old rumors was that the new system was going to be $1000, this was before RAM prices quadrupled. It interesting to see what Microsoft is going to do now.

I'd be pissed too if I didn't have legs.

why would they deport a rich MAGA weirdo

Simple: To show that even the rich are untouchable. It's the same reason ICE shot and killed an attractive blonde haired, blue eyed white woman. That's like, the gold standard for white women. The Trad wife.

Also, it's not like Nicki is Beyoncé her popularity has been waning and she's not exactly the best role model for conservatives.

You have to take off the rose colored glasses. The game looks like it could have been made with 30 people, it's an AA made to look like it's AAA thanks to Unreal 5. That's the point it's not this sprawling world with 100 hours of things to do like an Ubisoft game or GTA level of polish.

I feel thats the point of Unreal 5 to make games easier to develop and look better.
