I didn't listen to much metalcore back in the day (early 2000s) and my main go-to for the genre was "Killswitch Engage" (because of Drop C tuning, twin guitar harmonies, powerful vocalist).

Might be that the enemies are hard to hit and they counter you very hard if you miss. Or using a weapon means that more dangerous enemies will come round…

System Shock 2 did that, and while I loved it because SS2 can never do any wrong in my eyes, the actual concept can be annoying and come across as an artificial way to create tension for the player.

Got a needle stuck in my arm and booted back out the door all in 15 minutes. Like Tisky said, my arm hurts like someone punched me with all their might.

I'm not expecting anything to go back to what you guys consider normal for quite a while.

Majority of my friends are pretty fucked up now. Two of them are now full blown agoraphobic and are both on heavy ass medication just to function. My 3rd friend is in therapy and my 4th friend is self medicating with the special herb and I don't feel too amazing but I haven't needed to resort to therapy or meds. They should of kept the gyms open, the specific rules for some things were just daft. And I love the British news headlines "Soon you can hug again!" Oh fuck off.

Looking forward to seeing the mental health fallout explosion from this.

If you are given weapons that can kill what's trying to kill you then the game ceases to be genuinely scary.

From what I have read it is call of duty evil 8.

I think it can be hit and miss. If devs try too hard for scares then it feels forced. It's gotta come naturally so gonna toot my own horn and say subnautica is scary because we never intended for it to be.

All of the Stalker games are 10/10. Would recommend using some quality of life community patches, though.

Turns out I DID get an alpha invite. It went straight into my spam folder without me knowing ?

It looks like a mobile game and stutters a lot ?‍♂️

Getting mobile game vibes from it.

Where's my alpha invite

Dumbass continues to learn Blender.

Perhaps the core should branch out with its own game dev team. We could resurrect classics and show AAA publisher monkeys how it's done.

GIVE ME HELLRAID OR GIVE ME DEATH

Have you played AvP2? It's not difficult to replicate that or even expand upon it, there's a big fanbase for the AvP2 Marine campaign and it's super disappointing that it never got any better than that. Gearbox came along promising the world but fucked it way beyond anyone thought possible. This Fireteam game is just grasping for the lowest hanging fruit, and it will no doubt be praised purely for being better than that piss stain Colonial Marines. Dead Space is an entirely different subject matter.

I'd also argue that the System Shock 2 Trailer was far superior in terms of audio as well. The remake trailer has too many pauses. It sounds janky.

I dunno why it's so hard to just make the AvP 2 Marine campaign into a full game

So all negatives and no positives? Sounds like you hated it
