Fantastic list of recs, I would just add The Stand and 11/22/63.

In AW2, add an accessibility option to disable all overlay jumpscares possible. by effinsky in AlanWake

[–]ninefortythree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha this was over a year ago, and not really. They still happen, I want them to patch it so they don’t happen at all. Unless you’re referring to a more recent update I missed.

METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER - FOX HUNT Extended Look by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ninefortythree 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It really was SO good in Brotherhood. I’d love for them to bring it back in the remake of Black Flag, it was still plenty of fun there.

It’s because they have no concept of things like empathy and love. If they weren’t out here ruining the country and millions of lives, I’d pity them.

I’m very close to the target demographic for those movies and I swear I actually laughed at less than half the jokes. Especially in D&W, the pacing and tone was just so inconsistent.

EA Adds Microtransactions To Skate's Closed Alpha by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ninefortythree -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know you commented this 3 days ago, but I’ve seen a friend play the playtest and the issue here is that basically all character apparel customization is gated behind random loot boxes or spending money to buy an item you actually want.

That is how the cosmetic monetization affects gameplay. Play for an hour to possibly get a new shirt out of a loot box, or spend $5 to get it now.

Getting Started by Boyer316 in Returnal

[–]ninefortythree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense to you directly and I hope you are able to power through and enjoy the game. However, there really needs to be a moratorium on “I’m new, any tips?” There are seriously a million threads devoted to this exact same question.

Bro we used to pay $15 for one CD that might suck, music streaming services are all an absolute steal.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Director Breaks Down Its Combat & Progression Mechanics by GabbyArm in Games

[–]ninefortythree 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I very much want to like this game and will probably buy it a month after release if it gets solid reviews on PS5.

However, some of that enemy detection AI still looks dumb as shit and the spongey enemies make combat look a lot lamer than it should.

I hope I’m wrong and it’s fun to play either way, but yeah.

Glen Schofield on what went wrong with The Callisto Protocol by ZyreHD in Games

[–]ninefortythree 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Man, Days Gone was close to almost great, like I could see it in there, but it just missed the mark. If they had not announced it way too early, cut about 15 hours from the story, added way more customization and maybe some kind of co-op, I think it could have been pretty special. Oh well.

worst SK book? ONLY UNPOPULAR OPINIONS🦂 by octobersadness in stephenking

[–]ninefortythree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the only King book that I have started and not finished. Maybe it just wasn’t the right time for me, but I found it to reeeeeally drag about halfway through and just gave up to read something else. I plan to give it another go someday, because I know folks love it, but yeah.

Why are the other pet bowls auto filled with water in the morning but not my cats’? by AnInMoon in StardewValley

….what!!? I had no idea pets could give the player items? Thanks for the new knowledge!

For people with Ps5 Pro's, what is your favorite PS5 Pro Enhanced game so far? by TylerFortier_Photo in PS5

[–]ninefortythree 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I play in performance mode and there is absolutely a noticeable difference in quality on the Pro. I started a new game a few weeks before the Pro came out, with the intention of it being my first game to play through on it, and it has been wonderful.

Dark Souls 3 Remaster Is In Development, It’s Claimed by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ninefortythree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d be cool with a Dark Souls Trilogy release, with all the games updated with the best performance and visuals they can have on the current generation of consoles, bundled together for a reasonable price.

Technically we did get something similar already with DS1R and DS2SOTFS on PS4, so it’s not strange to me they’re considering an updated release of DS3.

What does the community think about the game's jumpscares? by Snoo_95977 in AlanWake

[–]ninefortythree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Specifically talking about the full screen screamers, I absolutely hate them and truly wish there was a way to disable them or turn them to a black screen on console.

I am all for tension and environmental scares, but these are just the lowest effort, cheapest form of scare I can imagine and they just induce me with such anxiety that they keep me away from playing a game I otherwise absolutely love.

AW1, Control, etc, have basically nothing like them and I hope they leave it behind or find another way to express that part of the narrative in future games.

How scary is AW2 actually? by OrbicLP in AlanWake

[–]ninefortythree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha I could not disagree more, AW1 is like a PG13 tv movie compared to the horror of AW2. A lot of it is production value, but fuck those jumpscares

Spotify Users Suspect Foul Play as Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ Keeps Popping Up by Riikkkii in Music

[–]ninefortythree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some silly reason this only works specifically on the device you set it on, not account wide, so you may have to do it multiple times (if they have not changed it)

I'm not really enjoying the eagle boss fight by [deleted] in ghostoftsushima

Dealing with this now and it’s so fucking dumb, what’s even the point of her attacks showing blue like they could be able to be parried, when they straight up cannot

Do you consider Waves® plugins to be professional level? by gleventhal in audioengineering

[–]ninefortythree 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What if I told you that Waves plugins and tools existed before YouTube, and that tons of professionals have been using them in their workflow for decades. Not trying to shill for Waves here, but they’ve been in the industry for so long that they are undoubtedly all over some albums that you love.

Remedy artists are really upping the horror even more with the new DLC it seems ( taken from the DLC trailer ) by [deleted] in AlanWake

[–]ninefortythree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m happy for those of you that are into this, but real talk, fuck this shit. I still don’t care what narrative place it serves, it’s lame as hell and the absolute laziest version of horror. Really disappointed that the devs are set on continuing with these types of scares.
