  1. Unless that petition hits a couple million, there's no way this will change anything. It's a business, open world games are hard to make and take a long time, ROI dictates decisions in these cases.

    It is a shame, I quite liked the game, specially after a couple patches. I think what ruins games like these is the "Looks cool, it really looks interesting, I'll buy it later on."
    Very much like the movie industry, these blockbuster titles rely on the success of the launch window, where people buy the game full price, lifetime sales means jack shit, particularly if the game has no extra built in monetization.

  2. Oddworld Soulstorm is impressing me in many ways! I was a bit skeptical at first, none of the Oddworld sequels we got in the past even got close to the majestic feeling of the original on the PSX, but this one really gets it. It seems like the director of the original also directed this one, and it shows. 

    Story is actually pretty engaging, you really empathize with the Mudokins, and Abe too the flawed hero. 

    Gameplay is pretty smooth, but very reminiscent of the feeling of the old ones, they modernized what they should have, but no more than that. There's a new crafting system in this game, which adds a new layer of interest to the puzzles and platforming.

    Art and sound looks pretty good, some areas are gorgeous, others less so but it's pretty coherent, I like the art direction a lot.

    Game is all about the puzzles and platforming. If you're into that, and great weird universes, you'll like this.

    This looks fantastic ?? But just when, have you posted about this before? Is a big drop ?

    Posted the WIPs on our discord, never on the actual forum though. I did this during those weird months of hard lockdown last year, thank god I had a new toy to distract me during those times man. I wanted to wait until I had time to write up a breakdown before putting it here.

    I'm following a woman who holds a degree in psychology, economics and theology.

    Hell yeah, been fascinated with those 3 topics for the past few years too, i've read a few books and also watched a lot of youtube lectures on them, most recently philosophy as well. Which lead me to learn about history, specifically Roman and ancient Greek history, which so many of our values and language derive from.

    I think it's safe to say that psychology and philosophy became my two favorite topics to explore and research on.

    Hitman is one of my fav games but I haven’t picked it back up since Blood Money because I know i spent way too many hours on each map.

    With 3 out, now is the time to do it. I actually found it to be the perfect lunch time game, you die or fail the objective and try again tomorrow. Pretty dope game and it looks amazing.

    I thought that game looked great, but didn't enjoy the gameplay one bit. I would have liked a photo mode...

    It's a pure stealth game, if you're not into that genre, it's deffo not the game for you.

    One of the most abused franchises of all time. Has there ever actually been a good Aliens game?

    The original Aliens vs. Predator (2000), and to a lesser extent Aliens versus Predator 2 (2001) were fine video games for their era.

    Also, Alien Isolation is a fantastic game, probably one of the scariest games I've ever played, and it looks damn amazing, I think @PogoP worked on it, if I'm not mistaken.
