Max Payne just turned 20!

Wow imagine IO would give at least 1 fuck about Codename 47s 20th Anniversary
At least Remedy knows how to handle something like this with a bit of decency even though they’ll never make a new one.

literally my joint favourite franchise with hitman.

i remember the first time i played it around my friend’s house. i didn’t know you could dive or activate slow motion until the finito brothers boss fight… when my friend decided to tell me . blew my fucking mind

once i got a copy and completed it every which way possible, I would just get very stoned, find a combat set-piece, chuck on some trip-hop, and choreograph increasingly elaborate and stylish ways of taking down the mooks. just an absolute joy to play… even better with kenneth yeung’s kung-fu mod.

In situations like these, it’s up to the hardcore fans to celebrate

Battlefield 2042 Open Beta out in September

Euler13 · July 23, 2021, 5:33pm

I’ve been keeping my keen eye on Lost in Random. It got some recent game play details at EA Play and is due for release on 10 September later this year on all major platforms.

For those on Xbox and PC, it’s almost time for The Ascent (29 July). Here’s a really interesting deep dive video with the developers.

This game looks amazing! I really hope it lives up to the hype.

Don’t you just " love " this kind of crap?

This won’t help anyone, especially those that genuinely got these kind of death threats, as a joke or otherwise.

And all of that because someone said something " bad " about TLoU2… GG no re.

Reddit doesn’t care about how toxic it is unless it hits the real people news or if the chuds break out of containment to piss off other subs. This is the same website that thinks its GamerGate subreddit is “valuable discussion” even when its creator thought it was a toxic hellhole.

one of the - imo - best puzzle games ever conceived is getting some dlc!

if you haven’t played outer wilds, sort your funking life out. it’s superb top to bottom. soundtrack is gorgeous too:

ElectronicCat · July 29, 2021, 8:06pm

Hell yeah! I abosutely love The Outer Wilds. I haven’t beaten it yet, partly because if it did it would mean I would have no more Outer Wilds to experience, but I suppose now that this is coming I may aswell reinstall it and finaly beat it.

ZeroGravitas · July 29, 2021, 8:13pm

Annapurna also finally put out something new for Stray.

MrOchoa · July 29, 2021, 8:27pm

Awesome! I’m excited for this game since the first teaser dropped

Screaming_Meat · July 29, 2021, 8:36pm

i’ve done tons, but i haven’t finished it either! partly for similar reasons as you, partly because i’m stuck, and partly because it’s fucking terrifying. dlc news will definitely push me to finish it off though.

TheChicken · July 29, 2021, 9:24pm

They actually just put out a livestream showcase of a bunch of their upcoming projects.
Damn, I love this publisher!

ElectronicCat · July 29, 2021, 9:46pm

I’m in the exact same boat. Going through Dark Bramble is probably one of the only times I’ve actually been scared at a video game.

What part are you stuck at? I’m assuming it’s getting through the nest in Dark Bramble? I was stuck there for a while too.

BradleyPaine · July 29, 2021, 9:51pm

Anyway, fuck you Bobby

Accidental_Kills98 · July 29, 2021, 9:55pm

This is just getting worse for Activision, they are doing everything wrong. Also the Cosby Room, what the hell?

Anyway here is some more totally legit news.

Screaming_Meat · July 29, 2021, 10:11pm
