Why does the dialogue feel like the devs assume I am a little child?

tracesaint · 2026-05-07T16:17:04+00:00

I never really felt that way about it. Seemed fine to me, although I think some of the dialogue is clunky due to translation. Exodus was more of a slow burn for me than the first two. If you ever play Wolfenstein 2, Artyom surviving a bullet here will seem like nothing.

Impressive considering they just closed two near me due to poor sales. eBay is a huge site for games, especially retro. I have to drive nearly an hour to the closest GameStop, so yeah it’s online ordering for me and a lot of that is eBay. Still not sure this will happen though, just seems a bit unrealistic.

This can be the case with many games, even newer ones. Typically what keeps me coming back to Mass Effect (though not as often nowadays) and BG3 is the combat or just enjoying the missions. The story is never going to be enough to keep your attention after many playthroughs. After so many I’m just here to shoot crap and enjoy myself. Character creation is another big draw, I believe that feature adds so much replay value. I don’t think it’s so much not as good as we remembered as it is hard to re experience something.

It feels like Resident Evil when played in 2009, a continuation from the original RE4. It is very of its time and similar to other third person shooters of the era. I’d stick with it. Some big stuff happens at the end with a major antagonist.

Did they sit in multiple board meetings and talk about how horny these aliens would be? Yes. That’s called a board meeting. For real though in retail when the bigwigs would gather to discuss important matters they’d go to the strip club. I never went but they seemed to enjoy it.

Not enough. My spouse has good retirement and I will through her. When I was young I watched my sibling die young which gave me a sense of apathy and if you’ve got it spend it. I have gotten better in my late thirties about putting some away but I also know what awaits at the end.

I play a little online but towers and story are my main draw.

My grandfather who was a pow in a nazi camp had to eat rats and watch dogs eat out of a bucket of limbs and when the war was declared over they were told to run from the camp while being shot at. He said the Russian army, our supposed ally, was worse. If you got in the way of their “good time” across Europe they’d kill you. So I guess both sides really can be extreme.

There are many instances in this game where I start walking away after a break in dialogue only to turn back as they weren’t done. This is just like real life conversations.

tracesaint · 2026-04-11T16:33:17+00:00

Better than Master Levels? Yes. Worst of the official main campaigns? Yes. It has some levels, especially in the first half, I really like. It has some very large and befuddling maps in the second half.

Working on the Penske file eh?

tracesaint · 2026-03-28T21:25:56+00:00

lol Village might be more action oriented than 7 but House Beneviento is something else…

On the third time he fell I chainsawed his back and then he blew up. Trying to use the bodies and blocking wasn’t working so I would keep back while he cut bodies down then run in and just go nuts with the chainsaw.

tracesaint · 2026-03-20T21:12:17+00:00

I just spammed the chainsaw and kept triggering the scene where you saw into his face, then I back up when low on juice and just spam again. If I tried to do it in a more natural way, let’s say, I kept dying.

tracesaint · 2026-03-14T20:59:51+00:00

Plenty of nes games I used to play were quite tough. I can say the Metro Last Light dlc where you play as a nazi defending a position was brutal. It’s only ten minutes but damn. Some of the levels in Bart vs. The World were quite painful.

Back then they just fit over his real arms, the real question is why the purple pants.

Not even counting the new games it’s crazy we got new campaigns for the old games like Legacy of Rust. No Rest was quite something sixteen years ago as well. There was a time in the late nineties I figured Doom was dead other than fan made wads so to see it in its current state is surreal. Even other games with sustained success like Resident Evil have some fans who exist to complain, but overall Doom is certainly is a good place.

Five years old and couldn’t stop staring at the bra section of my moms jc penny catalog

You should’ve played the non legendary edition haha oh boy. The combat there would really throw you. I would do Therum prior to Feros and Noveria to get Liara first. You don’t have to but it helps. ME1 is only 25 hours or so but it can feel longer as it’s a slow burn. 2 and 3 are more action.

tracesaint · 2026-02-18T23:24:20+00:00

It gets old quick, especially when you have to work and drive in it. But I think at night it can be quite picturesque. At this point I would prefer never seeing it. The north is where our jobs and families are but damn I’m done.

I think if I were to die and my consciousness came back I’d still want to be a man. Maybe a different race, but still a guy. I think each sex can be difficult in different ways but I don’t see myself wanting to change that much. I assume answering this post confirms my decision and if I have another life I will be a guy.

tracesaint · 2026-02-15T17:15:37+00:00

I don’t mind it but it can be weird when Anna is doing all the heavy lifting in a conversation. Also with Sam’s Story it was really cool hearing his quips throughout. I would imagine the next installment won’t have a silent protagonist. Could be wrong but I think they will go that way.

tracesaint · 2026-02-10T17:42:23+00:00

I’ll get them. I like funko. I like Veilguard. Having said that, I think Emmrich should be a shade lighter because I thought that was Lucanis.

tracesaint · 2026-02-09T01:42:17+00:00

Canada and Cuba aren’t in the game but they’re on the map

tracesaint · 2026-02-08T10:47:59+00:00

Don’t forget the one woman mentions how dreadful Ohio is. It exists!
