Show me the champion of light. This game never fails to impress as I progress. This song beats the one in the 1st for sure :D

Champion of blight actually won? Oh no, here comes the Champion of the Year edition with expansions bundled in lol.

As much as I dislike turn-based combat, I'd personally have picked BG3 over AW2, but what do I know 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

Speaking of which, here are some bugs I encountered during my playthrough (potentially NSFW 🤷‍♂️):

But what of the individual who spent $22.49 - $31.49 (and considers himself lucky for doing so) on a game where:

- investigation is merely a vehicle to drive the narrative forward, and there's no real deduction on the player's part
- combat is merely flashing a torch and then finishing enemies off with a laughably limited arsenal of weapons
- the player needs to sit through hours of integrated FMV

Correct me if any of the above is factually incorrect :LOL: 🤜
- Combat encounters themselves get repetitive fast, with little enemy or weapon variety (so far)
- Narrow spaces don't work well for combat. Case in point: the first boss fight, where the camera can get really awkward at times.
- Excessively harsh smudge filter when low on health.
- Melee feels clunky.
- So many FMVs.

Just started this game last night. I have just completed the first chapter and holly hellllll. Remedy has fuckin nailed the atmosphere and sound design of this game. It is very rare for a game to intrigue you this much into it within the opening moments of it. I think the original TLOU did that and now AW2 has did that for me. Good stuff.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
