I don't really understand how Remedy does narrative, visuals, acting, music, vibe and everything so damn perfectly and the gameplay is either mid or SUCKS HARD.

I really do feel like they would be better off making movies.

All the silly collectable bits feel like they exist only to pad the game out, completelt ruin the pacing and are disonant from the urgency presented in the narrative. The open maps were absolutely not needed either in the saga story, I did enjoy it a fair bit in the wake story though. The option to switch between storylines i still don't understand what the point was since it feels like its made to be played one specific way and the choice is just confusing.

It tried to be more survival horror but also massively missed the point. When survival horror is just running past generic enemy number 3000 its not that entertaining. It doesn't seem to understand the sheer stress of trying to negotiate around a licker down a narrow corridor thats slowly plodding towards you while you hear THOMP THOMP THOMP of boots closing in making the mental calculations of what resources you can spend on the fight. Resi 2 remake really was the pinnacle of survival horror for me.

Maybe one day they'll make a gameplay loop that doesn't feel like poo

On Wednesday twitch changed their site rules to allow artistic nudity. The policy allowed streams to display nonsexual nudity as long as the stream is tagged, so that the stream would be hidden from the front page. Twitch rescinded the policy 2 days later.

Golly, you're the best! I'm going to follow you and watch you and worship the ground you walk on! Let's go!

Kinda cringe for an origin of a creed, but it's a good rallying phrase. Surprisingly succinct.

"To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic."

Are there any similar phrases you've seen popularized by a game?

I'm not sure what my favorite part is. Is it the gyaru-o guy dancing, or is it the guy saying "I'll take it in the back"?
