Welp, time to euthanize Papaw.

More than likely. And a Skyrim horse at that.

The Kwisatz Haderach of Chess... Now there's a scary thought.

That's a good take.

I never played it myself. Just watched some Letsplays and heard some of the criticism. And 'Let'splayers' tend not to be too harsh.

We will see.

Oh I have no doubt the game is good.

It was just what I understood went wrong with the game.

That it's a good game on it's own premise, but when compared to the games it was supposed to be compared with, it just seemed mediocre. It's just hard competing with an established franchise. Especially one that is as beloved as DS is, not to mention that DS's own reboot also fell short as the OG games are still as grand as ever.

With exception of the graphics looking a little dated, Deadspace 1 holds up just fine even when compared to newer games. From atmosphere to mechanics, UI and story... It's all perfectly within parameters for the type of game it is.

I think we're likely gonna see some of same with the Silent Hill 2 Remake. There's a lot of marks to hit. Even the old tank controls adds to what makes the game intense and updating the combat system to something less clunky could potentially take away from the game rather than improving it.

As I understand it, Callisto Protocol was made by some of the OG Deadspace Devs.

And the entire concept revolves around filling the hole left by Deadspace as EA haven't shown much interest in any new installments.

But overall it came up short as it didn't seem to add anything particular interesting to the format.

From what I have gathered from various YouTubers, it's scratches the itch of Deadspace without being satisfying.

There's just too much nostalgia tied to DS and CPs story isn't interesting enough.

Yep, eventually ads will creep their way into the payed system.

At the end of the day, there's no such thing as enough money for corporations.

What did Harold ever do to you?!

Just got into Shantae and The Seven Sirens. Haven't had a good new side-scroller in quite a while. I'm enjoying it very much so far.

And ofcause, running around on Helldivers 2's new difficulty being stupid. Getting caught up in that whole debacle (what is life without a bit of drama). Fun, if a bit unpolished.

I think you're right on all three accounts.

It does, however, become very finite solution in the scenario that the new game flops. It's having two baskets, putting all your eggs in one and burning the other. So now their entire income is dependent on that one metaphorical basket carrying the weight.

I don't get why sequels now have to come at the cost of the originals death.
