This is not how you punish a company for doing tings you disagree with. Or, rather, this is a demonstration that your outrage is in the minority.

Yeah, I’ve seen it.

Placeholders like that are really common during development.

Today in games: Bandai Namco releases trailer of DS3 set to Cyndi Lauper’s famously-turned-gay-athem “True Colors”, setting the place of DS3 as Best Souls Game.

Honestly, though, the Youtube nerds are upset about the music choice. I like it a lot. It’s a more empathetic emphasis than the other games’ trailers which seemed to aim more towards personal struggle. Dark Souls has always wanted you to wonder about the world around you, even though parsing it seemed just out of reach and buried beneath layers of obscurity.

I’ll be honest that does seem like an odd choice of music just because those games are always so like, austere.

Hmm…

HMMMM…

What the hell is Hudson going to do, make Konami resurrect them so they can go after former business partner Nintendo and continue not making new Bomberman games

I’m just saying, I miss them.

Oh man. So excited. I was absolutely in love with the… demo, or proof of concept, or whatever it was.

I think it was one of those game jam games for a 7 day fps challenge? It came out at the same time as Receiver, didn’t it?

my roommate was playing superhot when i popped into his room to play a couple of rounds of halo 5 – there was a lot of “oh shit” and “yo check this out when you die” and “woah that was cool” coming from him. he also said “i didn’t know there was a plot, it’s kinda cool, a little matrixy-hackery”

when my master chef died i’d watch his screen til i respawned – it reminded me visually of killer 7 and it looks like they do some really neat things with the level design

would casually observe again

I am enjoying that ‘boutique FPS’ is a thing nowawdays

From looking up super hot videos I found out about a Taiwanese LP-er who seems pretty fun, and the fact that it technically counts as mandarin listening comprehension practice means I might actually watch more that 2 minutes of his vids so great work video games
