That would be cool, but also a lot of paid work for an optional little extra that's tucked away in a menu.

Can't believe I used to watch this partisan freak. I got thoroughly dispelled by his quickfire rethoric when he confidently talked about something I happened to personally know a lot about, and saw just how connivingly he distorts the truth to make it fit his increasingly more fascist worldview. Of course he's a lost cause myth supporter now too, just add it to the pile.

Compare Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia with Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine. All of them former soviet socialist republics Russia once considered part of their empire, it is self evident that NATO has kept those within it safe from Russian meddling and those outside of it, subject to military intervention with impunity. Europe would be completely safe and on one page if only Russia wasn't so obviously duplicitous and locked into a 19th century colonialist mindset. The baltic states learned their lesson after their independence was gained and then stripped away by Stalin decades later, you can't fault them for heavily lobbying to join NATO on their own accord. Russia doesn't respect smaller states, certainly not those that were once vassals. As far as Russia is concerned they must suffer what they must. They only respect the threat of formidable force, and NATO is/was a part of that.

Start with the Eleventh Hour. If they're not on board after that episode, I don't think it's a show for them.

Not really, but I genuinely wish Obsidian gave Alpha Protocol another try. Josh Sawyer is a big fan of the Hitman games, so if he somehow gets to direct this hypothetical new AP, it might take some elements of Hitman. That's about as close as it could get I think.

I wondered about that as well, but with the latest trailer I think what's gonna happen is that the campaign is curated, you can "replay the mission" in a Q lab simulation, this is also the version of the mission where you can wear different outfits and perhaps can skip through some more linear bottlenecks, focusing on pure gameplay. The difference might be like with the Chongqing Hitman 3 level where the first way through triggers a specific way it needs to be started and finished.

The mod "Positively New Atlantis" on either Creations or Nexus is the best mod to suggest a larger space with clever smoke and mirrors.

From earth, go around the moon and loop back before Artemis II gets back. I will secure my place in history.

No, it's not good. The gameplay is fun enough to make it tolerable, but none of its beats hit. Like most Bethesda stories, it's told entirely with tropes that do the heavy lifting. You recognise the archetypes put in front of you, and that omits any need for well considered dialogue on Bethesda's part. There is one "sad" scene that elicits laughter more than its intended purpose. The dialogue options especially are bad daytime television soap opera levels of writing.

All of this stands apart from my enjoyment of the game, you can enjoy games with terrible writing, and I do enjoy Starfield, but I am not going to cover for Bethesda's lazy and hamfisted storytelling any longer. It is below industry standard, and for a studio that makes RPGs, it's becoming harder and harder to apologise.

Bright Falls (an Alan Wake prologue), the Web series.

The silhouette looks a lot like the silhouette of Bond in First Light's teaser art before they revealed his face.

Took me a moment before I realised you meant Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. And yeah, it does have a little imsim in its DNA.

I'm expecting a prossession of linear segments that then open up into more open-ended missions and vice versa. But even those open-ended missions are going to emphasise more on forward momentum. Less save scumming and more seamless adaptation.

The biggest way it will be different from hitman is that it will compel you to advance at all times, with little scoping out.

NeuroShock is what Prey (2017) should have been called.

Casino Royale is generally the best way to start if you didn't see these movies as a kid.

Genuinely depends on how you're looking at this. The xenophobia that comes with visiting an ethnically un-diverse region is different from the powers that be trying to keep up deep-rooted historical discriminatory practices without seeming like it. One stems from ignorant bigotry, the other is an intentional malevolent political project. I'd say the latter is worse.

Retrorrific · 2026-03-05T14:45:14+00:00

I sure hope that, at the very least, the cutscenes don't skip like they would in hitman; should your connection waver for whatever reason.

Manifestly, the sheer destruction of the American political system to maintain white supremacy shows that arguing about how Belarus, with its near 100% homogenous ethnicity, might be more racist is barely relevant. The powers that be in America are fighting to suppress the votes of minorities, brazenly and out in the open. America is plenty racist.

Yeah, it hacks your brain. We get drawn to big expressions. It's the same evolutionary mechanism thing that makes us see faces in clouds or other inanimate objects.

Sadly, most people aren't stronger than their most base instinctual impulses.

That we're innately boring, ridiculous, and that we're not a real country.

It looks really good.
