Yeah, being stuck indoors now feels like a nightmare. I walk so much now that I have to use band-aids on my toes to avoid blisters. I just don't get too close to people and keep my hands to myself. I went to visit a Lake. Walked along some backwoods roads close to town and found out the area was in a wildlife sanctuary. Even got to go to the cemetery to see my dead Aunt. It's just strange that only now I want to go out and see it all. Or maybe I'm just part of the problem. (lol I've seen the memes) If I get too antsy I might continue the trek to the next town over.
I have never felt so empty over one event, it is like I have done everything. I've watched pretty much every show I desire to watch, I have … morelistened to music pretty much every second of my life this quarantine. I just wish for this quarantine to be over, people think this is an introvert's dream, but it is not. This virus fucking sucks, I can't wait for it all to be over.
I remember watching this movie when I was 13 years old my mom rented it from a Blockbuster store and got candy and popcorn as well but it’s sequel I (highly don’t recommend it) A plot of the story was stupid and it just ruins pretty much everything the first movie even stand for it to begin with .
Yeah, I don't remember anything about this movie, except Robin Williams and Rami Malek (This dude never aged though)
But I got so triggered when I just heard the word "Umbrella Corporation" in this video, from the movie nonetheless. Cause recently I've been playing all the latest Resident Evil games.

I've been a console player all my life, I have wanted to get into PC, preferably build my own, but it doesn't click with me, my uneducated mind is thinking of the constant maintenance and replacing of parts, it may not be as big of a deal as I may think, but because I'm not too knowledgeable in it, I may or not be jumping to an unrealistic conclusion.
Four or five people is still a bit of a crowd, obviously the more the better, but I've around the same on console, and when I do play online, it is usually a good laugh
Damn I'm really surprised and even impressed at DomtheBomb. Not only is he making money just by giving out news at the games he played but also got noticed by Telltale, Skybound, Life is Strange, and even Melissa Hutchison. I hate to say this but I'm actually kinda jealous of him too.
Us USA Netflix people are getting 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' on may the 1st. I was thinking about you when I saw the news, figured I would let you know.

Deku, enjoy this damn show!
Also, I'm so happy for you Metallica! Definitely great news, since you were lamenting its absence a week ago (partly my fault since I got the idea of the film in your head).
(I've heard rumors that HBO managed to license some of Nickelodeon's catalogue for their HBO Max streaming service. Luckily that's not the case.)
For anyone on the fence or uninitiated about Avatar, take it from me, a guy watching its final season: This is an essential, iconic cartoon series, that I seemed to have jumped in on 15 years late. It's worth it if you're at all a fan of animated shows.

I know theres a pretty good amount of people who dont like Dom and his content, but I do respect what he has gained with his channel and the following its given him within these communities.
That said, I'm really not a fan of how much it seems he doesnt actually care about what content he is making or who he is making it for. It comes off as very obviously chasing money. Almost all his videos he always mentions some youtube statistics like how many views a video got, how many likes, what to do for him to grow more, how many viewers he has who arnt subbed, "too many of my viewers arnt sub you better sub I know the percent of you who watch but dont sub I swear if you don't subscribe!!!!" It just really doesnt feel like he does it because he has a genuine enjoyment of doing it.
And I could easily be wrong about that, but Im not a fan of his tactic of almost shaming people to give support. And as someone who also does multiple kinds of video production I can understand wanting to have the needs for whats needed so you can have this as a job full time, but the way he does it doesnt sit right with me. It comes off as fake and almost obvious the interest is in money, not so much content creating. Almost every video theres always some weird catch about supporting thats more than just "If you liked this, like and subscribe" theres always some sort of statistic brought up and because that statistic isnt right you better start supporting better!"
I feel he should stop doing that if he wants to actually gain support. Im sure I'm not the only one who can see through how obvious it is. Truth is he probably does genuinely loves playing most of these games, but I'm unsure if he actually enjoys making the content/ cares about content quality. If I had to give him any advice I'd tell him to stop with the support shaming and just starting making what he wants to make. He already has about 250k subs, thats a great stepping stone. Make what you truly want when you want to make it. Some of your audience will fall off but others will hop on. Just never chase numbers.
Anyway thats my DomTheBomb speech no one asked for.

It is pretty annoying if you watch his streams you would find he tries to promote his channel alot which I'm against. He pretty much says the usual generic youtuber thing often "make sure to leave a like and don't forget to subscribe". Sometimes he will even ask for more likes on his stream then the amount of people watching it.

I agree he could do it better. But I know he tries to get as much views as possible. I know he did skip school just so that he could play a new game that comes out on day one to get the most viewers as possible which I think is pretty bad.
I am glad though that Dom took over when Gameover Ent dropped out, though I think Gameover Ent was better.

I think that probably sums it up pretty well. I think he is just way too obsessed with numbers. Really gotta focus on just making what he wants and when he wants to do it.
And I've seen some of his stream clips, that sadly seems to be him at his worst when it comes to asking for support. I wish him good luck though, hope he figures out to not chase after money it will only make him miserable.

Basically, the article boils down to: "Telltale changed their Facebook Cover Banner to that of Batman and Joker. SEASON 3 CONFIRMED???"
Many of the top thread comments though don't look too promising.
From confusion that they're apparently not dead, to talk of the previous two games flopping, to disappointment that they're wasting their money on licensing IPs again, to their engine needing to change. Sigh... I really hope Telltale steps up their game (both figuratively and literally) for TWAU 2. At least that one is the most fan-favourite and anticipated of their series, so it will most likely not fail. TTG just needs to prove that they can make a choice-based game with way more ambition and "choices mattering" than the Old Guard. (sorry, old Telltale crew. Batman S2 proved you could do it! But, too little, too late.)
The two new owners have quickly gained some of my trust, with how they believe the new company should operate (way better than the last time), so that's good.
Say what you will about Fortnite, but...
Last night, Fortnite held its second virtual concert, this time brought to you by rapper Travis Scott. (Last year, there was a concert held by DJ Marshmello.)
Anyways, this 10-minute concert -- Astronomical -- is an amazing technical feat that Epic Games pulled off and is proof (if we ever needed any) that what just happened can only be fully experienced through the medium of Video Games. I can't really explain what this concert is, other than it constantly shifts and drops the player into new areas and scenery, playing with the environment and various lighting effects. You'll get thrown in the air, can jump really high, shot into space, and more.
I've never heard of Mr. Scott, and I can't say I'm a fan of his music, but this concert event itself really impressed me.
Basically, it starts with a virtual stage set up, then shatters the expectation of the stage being used by making the entire Battle Royale island itself the stage. Complete with a 50-foot-tall Travis Scott dancing and singing around the place, getting weirder and more psychedelic by the minute. Oh, and there's a huge Amusement Park Planet looming on the horizon. This happens simultaneously across the globe on thousands of servers.
Still with me? No? Just watch this for yourself.
Dare I say it, download Fortnite just to experience this event for yourself. It's the most impressive piece of work the animators and designers at Epic have pulled off. There are about 4 other showings in this "virtual tour".
I doubt they are teasing anything, they first changed the profile pic to Joker because of the EGS sale, then they sale ended so they just put it back to how it was while keeping Joker as the profile pic.
I've said this before, Wolf 2 will be a huge hit if they stop being linear. They need to make it very very very obvious how different your story will be based on your choices. Truth is, Youtube 100% had a massive part of killing Telltale. Its hand in hand. Before Telltale games has enough differences and reason to want to play for yourself, but their later games got so linear and the overall quality kept dropping that a ton of people just figured "Why am I spending 25 bucks to play something that I can get 90% of the same experience on Youtube? They should really focus on having the game be non-linear and make that a big focus with their marketing, make it abundantly clear "choices actually matter this time."
Personally I'd recommend a more "web" design for Wolf 2, a design old Telltale couldnt do because they were episodically releasing episodes. I feel a better design would be it starts the same for every player and ends the same, but that middle part branches all over the place, and you get scenes and discover new evidence in much different orders than other players, but by the time you finish, you will still have caught the bad guy, just how you did it actually being different.
An example using season 1 of how this could potentially work. Imagine a narrative where some players find out Crane has been sleeping with prostitutes made to look like Snow at the end of episode 2 like always. Now, lets say some players dont find this out until mid-way through episode 3 and Crane has a more determinant role. What if this was determined by who you took in for questioning. If you took in the Woodsman, Dee and Dum are able to clean up Crane's mess and they found the photos before Bigby can, but in the process instead we find evidence pointing towards the Tweedles involvement and we figure out they are going to Lily's funeral to further cover everything up. The episode would now end with Bigby rushing off there instead of that reveal of Crane. That narrative would need some twisting for this alt episode 3 as now the focus would be mostly on finding the Tweedles until say at the Tweedles Office you find the evidence of Crane's involvement which would then bring it back to finding Crane. Obviously its a complex thing to do and a lot more work is needed than this example Im proposing to make sure it flows together nicely as this is a basic example, but its not so linear and binary like old Telltale was.
Old Telltale could never do this because they released episodically. They cant have players find something major out like Crane's involvement at the end of one episode, but for others they dont find out, because when the episode ends, everyone just googles other choices and endings and then bingo, now everyone knows Crane is crooked. If it all releases at once like it seems it will, that problem goes away as everyone just plays the next episode. And Telltale needs non-linear stories more like this to grab interest, where major plot strings actually change and happen at different times than everyone else. It gives way more weight to the player interaction even though at the end of the day, it will still lead to the same conclusion.
Lol this just appeared on the Playstation subreddit.

PlayStation and Guerrilla Games are planning a trilogy of Horizon Zero Dawn games, with Horizon Zero Dawn 2 set to release on the PlayStation 5.
Multiple sources have told VGC that Sony Interactive Entertainment has greenlit ambitious plans for the post-apocalyptic open-world franchise, which debuted in 2017 with the ten million-selling Zero Dawn.
Amsterdam-based Guerrilla had always desired to deliver a series of Horizon games – and a multi-part script was written – but the plan was only officially agreed after the original game’s strong debut on PlayStation 4.
The next instalment, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, started development soon after the first game’s successful release, sources said. Initially, the game was planned for PlayStation 4. However, it’s thought that development has now entirely shifted focus to Sony’s next-generation console.
Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is said to be ‘gigantic’ in scope with a larger game world and more freedom to explore it than in its predecessor. People with knowledge of the game also indicated the inclusion of a co-op feature, although it’s not clear if this is delivered via the main story or a separate mode.
At one point Guerilla was planning to release a standalone co-op game preview, with progress carrying over to the later, full version of Zero Dawn 2, one person involved told VGC. However, it’s not clear if these plans are still in place.
A co-op feature was initially planned for the first game but was ultimately scrapped so the development team could focus on other areas of the title. Zero Dawn concept art that leaked online in 2014 – verified by VGC – even shows initial plans to have multiple players battle the game’s huge mechanical beasts.
Guerrilla’s work on a sequel has recently been suggested by a series of job advertisements, which mention an open-world game featuring quests and creatures.
PlayStation has even made possible reference to how the PS5’s innovative controller could impact gameplay in Horizon. System architect Mark Cerny and CEO Jim Ryan have said the DualSense’s adaptive triggers will help players feel the tension of their actions, “like when drawing a bow to shoot an arrow”.
A PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn and a Horizon comic book series set after the events of the first game will be released this summer, possibly linking into the sequel.

I wish I had a PS4 so I could play the first game, I know next to nothing about it, except that it was a massive deal at launch. I recall seeing you and others chat about it before, so I figured it'd be a good piece of news to share with fans like yourself
I would have been more than happy with just a Horizon Zero Dawn 2, to hear they're already planning for it to be a trilogy is even better.
This is the first I’m hearing of a Zero Dawn comic, I’ll have to check it out.

I think it's amazing, probably one of my favorite PS4 exclusive titles (although I guess I can't say that anymore since it's coming to PC).
The game is a set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with machines, where humans survive in various different tribes. The main character is Aloy, played by Ashly Burch (Chloe in LiS, Tiny Tina in Borderlands, Parvatti in The Outer Worlds), who was outcasted from her tribe when she was an infant for being motherless, but was raised by another outcast named Rost. She learns of a chance to become a member of her tribe through competing in what's known as The Proving. Throughout the game's story, you begin to unravel the mystery behind Aloy, as well as the rest of the world, as she deals with another tribe, known as the Shadow Carja.
I would easily say the game's best strengths are in its story and Burch's performance, which should come as no surprise to anyone (even in my hatred of Chloe, I can't praise Burch's performance enough in that game). The story is fantastic in how the mystery unfolds and connects to everything occurring throughout the game. Aloy is one of my favorite protagonists in recent memory. Each tribe seen in the game has its own unique customs, cultures, and religions (that again, begin to make more sense as the game unfolds). It is an open world, RPG type game, so you can level up through gaining experience points and completing side missions. The game does have a choice wheel for Aloy's dialogue, but it doesn't really have any impact throughout the game. You scavenge and buy parts and ingredients throughout the world to make new weapons or traps. It can be a bit slow in the beginning, but it does pick up as you get used to the gameplay and the story gets going. The dialogue can be a bit "meh" at times, but that's the only real major complaint I have with it. I would definitely recommend getting the game.

Sounds really fun and engrossing. (Which is also what everyone else who likes this game says. Probably "the best playstation exclusive ever".)
It's, uh, actually one of the titles in my backlog.
Buuuut the one time I picked it up, I only finished the tutorial before moving back to a game I was halfway through and had yet to finish.
Maybe I'll redo that tutorial and play it for real next time. Hopefully soon. Death Stranding is fun, but my god is it a massive game with tons of repetitive, addicting side-content.

I just finished The Midnight Gospel, an adult animated series on Netflix by Pendleton Ward (the creator of Adventure Time) and comedian Daniel Trussell. I fuckin' loved this show holy shit.
The series follows the character Clancy (voiced by Daniel Trussell), who travels to dying planets in order to interview someone for his podcast and each episode is pretty much an animated podcast where Clancy and the guest discuss a topic of some kind with many of the topics being very spiritual is one form or another. These are real conversations that just so happened to be animated. I felt myself drawn into every single topic they discussed even if I didn't fully understand or necessarily believe in what they were talking about, and sometimes you'll get these funny moments where they'll accidentally break character.
The only problems I kinda have with it is that sometimes the visuals overshadow the dialogue to the point where it gets a little hard to concentrate on both at the same time, and at times the low frame rate animation gets super choppy.
The final episode of the season is fuckin' beautiful. The whole series is a trippy mind-melding experience but this episode was just absolutely wonderful, as well as surprisingly emotional. I felt myself holding back floodgates which I eventually failed to do.
The podcast style of the series and its lack of an overarching story/narrative definitely won't be for everyone, but I absolutely recommend you at the very least try watching the first episode and go from there.
Yeah like you said it obviously would require a lot of work and time but I think that's the way to go. The challenge is getting the playtime to be a similiar length, but honestly, I wouldn't mind Telltale games being shorter, at least I'd know that I could replay it and get different stories. TFS was a pretty boring replay for me.

I’ve unsubscribed not only because there’s no more walking dead I just get annoyed seeing childish trolls when he streams Fortnite especially if his subscribers look like they’re 13 or lower I barely see any 16 to 17 or older folks .
I agree. It is more work but they're gonna need to do something to show they are different than the old Telltale and also need to make a game that justifies why you buy it. If someone watches a youtube playthrough of a youtuber for episode 1, then checks out another youtuber and already sees massive differences, that viewer is suddenly going to start thinking "wait- this is really different. Maybe I should buy and play this myself..." Youtube playthoughs are potentially New Telltale's best advertising if their games showing how much it can branch right away, because honestly the main reason Telltale died was because everything was the exact same just with 1 binary difference that leads to same result anyway.
Personally I'd be fine if Wolf 2 ends up being around 9ish hours like Wolf 1 is, especially if it means overall story branching actually branches. Really just overall quality matters to me. I pretty recently replayed Tales from the Borderlands, Wolf, and the Batman games, and it really made me change my options on Batman. I finished Wolf and Tales and had a blast replaying them, when I took a break between episodes I found myself looking forward to playing the next one even though I already replayed it before and knew the story pretty much like the back of my hand. But the Batman games felt like a chore to replay. Honestly it really changed my opinion on them sadly more negatively. I remember playing Batman 1 in 2016 and liking it a lot and then when I finally replayed it this year I actually found myself not liking it, I was actually getting really bored. However that may just be an overall quality drop that was happening at Telltale for multiple reasons more so than the choices. (However even that is kinda hand in hand as replaying Batman, it was still really linear. All dialogue leads to the same, no more hidden dialogue based on things you said before, only things that ever changed were directly involved with a big choice which would just make a binary change that gets reverted to "normal" after next scene and accomplished the same thing. So maybe it was the choices.) I still dont think the Batman games are bad at all but it def did not find myself having a blast replaying.
anyway theres another wall I wrote why am I doing this help-

Yeah, being stuck indoors now feels like a nightmare. I walk so much now that I have to use band-aids on my toes to avoid blisters. I just don't get too close to people and keep my hands to myself. I went to visit a Lake. Walked along some backwoods roads close to town and found out the area was in a wildlife sanctuary. Even got to go to the cemetery to see my dead Aunt. It's just strange that only now I want to go out and see it all. Or maybe I'm just part of the problem. (lol I've seen the memes) If I get too antsy I might continue the trek to the next town over.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid, then while watching Cinemasins sin it, I came across this fucking part (1:04).
I remember watching this movie when I was 13 years old my mom rented it from a Blockbuster store and got candy and popcorn as well but it’s sequel I (highly don’t recommend it) A plot of the story was stupid and it just ruins pretty much everything the first movie even stand for it to begin with .
Yeah, I don't remember anything about this movie, except Robin Williams and Rami Malek (This dude never aged though)
But I got so triggered when I just heard the word "Umbrella Corporation" in this video, from the movie nonetheless. Cause recently I've been playing all the latest Resident Evil games.
I’m guessing he was one of the very first Umbrella employees to ever get fired.😆
So Nintendo may not yet be finished with Amiibo, according to the tweet below, they've recently filed a patent for the Amiibo:
I've been a console player all my life, I have wanted to get into PC, preferably build my own, but it doesn't click with me, my uneducated mind is thinking of the constant maintenance and replacing of parts, it may not be as big of a deal as I may think, but because I'm not too knowledgeable in it, I may or not be jumping to an unrealistic conclusion.
Four or five people is still a bit of a crowd, obviously the more the better, but I've around the same on console, and when I do play online, it is usually a good laugh
Damn I'm really surprised and even impressed at DomtheBomb. Not only is he making money just by giving out news at the games he played but also got noticed by Telltale, Skybound, Life is Strange, and even Melissa Hutchison. I hate to say this but I'm actually kinda jealous of him too.

Also, I'm so happy for you Metallica! Definitely great news, since you were lamenting its absence a week ago (partly my fault since I got the idea of the film in your head).
(I've heard rumors that HBO managed to license some of Nickelodeon's catalogue for their HBO Max streaming service. Luckily that's not the case.)
For anyone on the fence or uninitiated about Avatar, take it from me, a guy watching its final season: This is an essential, iconic cartoon series, that I seemed to have jumped in on 15 years late. It's worth it if you're at all a fan of animated shows.
I know theres a pretty good amount of people who dont like Dom and his content, but I do respect what he has gained with his channel and the following its given him within these communities.
That said, I'm really not a fan of how much it seems he doesnt actually care about what content he is making or who he is making it for. It comes off as very obviously chasing money. Almost all his videos he always mentions some youtube statistics like how many views a video got, how many likes, what to do for him to grow more, how many viewers he has who arnt subbed, "too many of my viewers arnt sub you better sub I know the percent of you who watch but dont sub I swear if you don't subscribe!!!!" It just really doesnt feel like he does it because he has a genuine enjoyment of doing it.
And I could easily be wrong about that, but Im not a fan of his tactic of almost shaming people to give support. And as someone who also does multiple kinds of video production I can understand wanting to have the needs for whats needed so you can have this as a job full time, but the way he does it doesnt sit right with me. It comes off as fake and almost obvious the interest is in money, not so much content creating. Almost every video theres always some weird catch about supporting thats more than just "If you liked this, like and subscribe" theres always some sort of statistic brought up and because that statistic isnt right you better start supporting better!"
I feel he should stop doing that if he wants to actually gain support. Im sure I'm not the only one who can see through how obvious it is. Truth is he probably does genuinely loves playing most of these games, but I'm unsure if he actually enjoys making the content/ cares about content quality. If I had to give him any advice I'd tell him to stop with the support shaming and just starting making what he wants to make. He already has about 250k subs, thats a great stepping stone. Make what you truly want when you want to make it. Some of your audience will fall off but others will hop on. Just never chase numbers.
Anyway thats my DomTheBomb speech no one asked for.
I can't wait, either. I've never watched the show, but I am definitely going to give it a try when it gets on Netflix!
It is pretty annoying if you watch his streams you would find he tries to promote his channel alot which I'm against. He pretty much says the usual generic youtuber thing often "make sure to leave a like and don't forget to subscribe". Sometimes he will even ask for more likes on his stream then the amount of people watching it.
I agree he could do it better. But I know he tries to get as much views as possible. I know he did skip school just so that he could play a new game that comes out on day one to get the most viewers as possible which I think is pretty bad.
I am glad though that Dom took over when Gameover Ent dropped out, though I think Gameover Ent was better.
someone tell me which is better because I cant decide thanks again for coming to my ted talk
I think that probably sums it up pretty well. I think he is just way too obsessed with numbers. Really gotta focus on just making what he wants and when he wants to do it.
And I've seen some of his stream clips, that sadly seems to be him at his worst when it comes to asking for support. I wish him good luck though, hope he figures out to not chase after money it will only make him miserable.
Lol this just appeared on the Playstation subreddit.

Basically, the article boils down to: "Telltale changed their Facebook Cover Banner to that of Batman and Joker. SEASON 3 CONFIRMED???"
Many of the top thread comments though don't look too promising.
From confusion that they're apparently not dead, to talk of the previous two games flopping, to disappointment that they're wasting their money on licensing IPs again, to their engine needing to change.
Sigh... I really hope Telltale steps up their game (both figuratively and literally) for TWAU 2. At least that one is the most fan-favourite and anticipated of their series, so it will most likely not fail. TTG just needs to prove that they can make a choice-based game with way more ambition and "choices mattering" than the Old Guard. (sorry, old Telltale crew. Batman S2 proved you could do it! But, too little, too late.)
The two new owners have quickly gained some of my trust, with how they believe the new company should operate (way better than the last time), so that's good.
Say what you will about Fortnite, but...
Last night, Fortnite held its second virtual concert, this time brought to you by rapper Travis Scott. (Last year, there was a concert held by DJ Marshmello.)
Anyways, this 10-minute concert -- Astronomical -- is an amazing technical feat that Epic Games pulled off and is proof (if we ever needed any) that what just happened can only be fully experienced through the medium of Video Games. I can't really explain what this concert is, other than it constantly shifts and drops the player into new areas and scenery, playing with the environment and various lighting effects. You'll get thrown in the air, can jump really high, shot into space, and more.
I've never heard of Mr. Scott, and I can't say I'm a fan of his music, but this concert event itself really impressed me.
Basically, it starts with a virtual stage set up, then shatters the expectation of the stage being used by making the entire Battle Royale island itself the stage. Complete with a 50-foot-tall Travis Scott dancing and singing around the place, getting weirder and more psychedelic by the minute. Oh, and there's a huge Amusement Park Planet looming on the horizon. This happens simultaneously across the globe on thousands of servers.
Still with me? No? Just watch this for yourself.
Dare I say it, download Fortnite just to experience this event for yourself. It's the most impressive piece of work the animators and designers at Epic have pulled off. There are about 4 other showings in this "virtual tour".
I doubt they are teasing anything, they first changed the profile pic to Joker because of the EGS sale, then they sale ended so they just put it back to how it was while keeping Joker as the profile pic.
I've said this before, Wolf 2 will be a huge hit if they stop being linear. They need to make it very very very obvious how different your story will be based on your choices. Truth is, Youtube 100% had a massive part of killing Telltale. Its hand in hand. Before Telltale games has enough differences and reason to want to play for yourself, but their later games got so linear and the overall quality kept dropping that a ton of people just figured "Why am I spending 25 bucks to play something that I can get 90% of the same experience on Youtube? They should really focus on having the game be non-linear and make that a big focus with their marketing, make it abundantly clear "choices actually matter this time."
Personally I'd recommend a more "web" design for Wolf 2, a design old Telltale couldnt do because they were episodically releasing episodes. I feel a better design would be it starts the same for every player and ends the same, but that middle part branches all over the place, and you get scenes and discover new evidence in much different orders than other players, but by the time you finish, you will still have caught the bad guy, just how you did it actually being different.
An example using season 1 of how this could potentially work. Imagine a narrative where some players find out Crane has been sleeping with prostitutes made to look like Snow at the end of episode 2 like always. Now, lets say some players dont find this out until mid-way through episode 3 and Crane has a more determinant role. What if this was determined by who you took in for questioning. If you took in the Woodsman, Dee and Dum are able to clean up Crane's mess and they found the photos before Bigby can, but in the process instead we find evidence pointing towards the Tweedles involvement and we figure out they are going to Lily's funeral to further cover everything up. The episode would now end with Bigby rushing off there instead of that reveal of Crane. That narrative would need some twisting for this alt episode 3 as now the focus would be mostly on finding the Tweedles until say at the Tweedles Office you find the evidence of Crane's involvement which would then bring it back to finding Crane. Obviously its a complex thing to do and a lot more work is needed than this example Im proposing to make sure it flows together nicely as this is a basic example, but its not so linear and binary like old Telltale was.
Old Telltale could never do this because they released episodically. They cant have players find something major out like Crane's involvement at the end of one episode, but for others they dont find out, because when the episode ends, everyone just googles other choices and endings and then bingo, now everyone knows Crane is crooked. If it all releases at once like it seems it will, that problem goes away as everyone just plays the next episode. And Telltale needs non-linear stories more like this to grab interest, where major plot strings actually change and happen at different times than everyone else. It gives way more weight to the player interaction even though at the end of the day, it will still lead to the same conclusion.
I made something in blender today.
This might just be the best thing to come out of the DOOM Eternal/Animal Crossing crossover meme.
Ok, this is the one. Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we've found our winner.
I don't think this can be topped.
PlayStation and Guerrilla Games are planning a trilogy of Horizon Zero Dawn games, with Horizon Zero Dawn 2 set to release on the PlayStation 5.
Source: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/horizon-zero-dawn-2/
There is a full version? I must find it. Maybe make it my new ringtone.
Correction. Ringtone made.
I’m assuming you found it based on your next comment, but here’s the full version of the song.
I would have been more than happy with just a Horizon Zero Dawn 2, to hear they're already planning for it to be a trilogy is even better.
This is the first I’m hearing of a Zero Dawn comic, I’ll have to check it out.
I wish I had a PS4 so I could play the first game, I know next to nothing about it, except that it was a massive deal at launch. I recall seeing you and others chat about it before, so I figured it'd be a good piece of news to share with fans like yourself
Horizon does come to PC this Summer, so if that's where you usually play games you can pick it up there without having to buy a console
Oh you found it. I didn't find the full version through a 10 second search of YouTube, so I bought a copy through Bandicamp. It made it easier to transfer to phone anyway.
How was the game anyway? I know pretty much nothing about it except it's a third person open world game.
I think it's amazing, probably one of my favorite PS4 exclusive titles (although I guess I can't say that anymore since it's coming to PC).
The game is a set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with machines, where humans survive in various different tribes. The main character is Aloy, played by Ashly Burch (Chloe in LiS, Tiny Tina in Borderlands, Parvatti in The Outer Worlds), who was outcasted from her tribe when she was an infant for being motherless, but was raised by another outcast named Rost. She learns of a chance to become a member of her tribe through competing in what's known as The Proving. Throughout the game's story, you begin to unravel the mystery behind Aloy, as well as the rest of the world, as she deals with another tribe, known as the Shadow Carja.
I would easily say the game's best strengths are in its story and Burch's performance, which should come as no surprise to anyone (even in my hatred of Chloe, I can't praise Burch's performance enough in that game). The story is fantastic in how the mystery unfolds and connects to everything occurring throughout the game. Aloy is one of my favorite protagonists in recent memory. Each tribe seen in the game has its own unique customs, cultures, and religions (that again, begin to make more sense as the game unfolds). It is an open world, RPG type game, so you can level up through gaining experience points and completing side missions. The game does have a choice wheel for Aloy's dialogue, but it doesn't really have any impact throughout the game. You scavenge and buy parts and ingredients throughout the world to make new weapons or traps. It can be a bit slow in the beginning, but it does pick up as you get used to the gameplay and the story gets going. The dialogue can be a bit "meh" at times, but that's the only real major complaint I have with it. I would definitely recommend getting the game.
Seems like it's hitting a lot of the things I like in an open world game. Can you stealth your way through combat or is it more action oriented?
Stealth is definitely an option.
Sounds really fun and engrossing. (Which is also what everyone else who likes this game says. Probably "the best playstation exclusive ever".)
It's, uh, actually one of the titles in my backlog.
Buuuut the one time I picked it up, I only finished the tutorial before moving back to a game I was halfway through and had yet to finish.
Maybe I'll redo that tutorial and play it for real next time. Hopefully soon. Death Stranding is fun, but my god is it a massive game with tons of repetitive, addicting side-content.
Nice, I'll check it out whenever it finally releases on Steam.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I just finished The Midnight Gospel, an adult animated series on Netflix by Pendleton Ward (the creator of Adventure Time) and comedian Daniel Trussell. I fuckin' loved this show holy shit.
The series follows the character Clancy (voiced by Daniel Trussell), who travels to dying planets in order to interview someone for his podcast and each episode is pretty much an animated podcast where Clancy and the guest discuss a topic of some kind with many of the topics being very spiritual is one form or another. These are real conversations that just so happened to be animated. I felt myself drawn into every single topic they discussed even if I didn't fully understand or necessarily believe in what they were talking about, and sometimes you'll get these funny moments where they'll accidentally break character.
The only problems I kinda have with it is that sometimes the visuals overshadow the dialogue to the point where it gets a little hard to concentrate on both at the same time, and at times the low frame rate animation gets super choppy.
The final episode of the season is fuckin' beautiful. The whole series is a trippy mind-melding experience but this episode was just absolutely wonderful, as well as surprisingly emotional. I felt myself holding back floodgates which I eventually failed to do.
The podcast style of the series and its lack of an overarching story/narrative definitely won't be for everyone, but I absolutely recommend you at the very least try watching the first episode and go from there.
Yeah like you said it obviously would require a lot of work and time but I think that's the way to go. The challenge is getting the playtime to be a similiar length, but honestly, I wouldn't mind Telltale games being shorter, at least I'd know that I could replay it and get different stories. TFS was a pretty boring replay for me.
I’ve unsubscribed not only because there’s no more walking dead I just get annoyed seeing childish trolls when he streams Fortnite especially if his subscribers look like they’re 13 or lower I barely see any 16 to 17 or older folks .
I agree. It is more work but they're gonna need to do something to show they are different than the old Telltale and also need to make a game that justifies why you buy it. If someone watches a youtube playthrough of a youtuber for episode 1, then checks out another youtuber and already sees massive differences, that viewer is suddenly going to start thinking "wait- this is really different. Maybe I should buy and play this myself..." Youtube playthoughs are potentially New Telltale's best advertising if their games showing how much it can branch right away, because honestly the main reason Telltale died was because everything was the exact same just with 1 binary difference that leads to same result anyway.
Personally I'd be fine if Wolf 2 ends up being around 9ish hours like Wolf 1 is, especially if it means overall story branching actually branches. Really just overall quality matters to me. I pretty recently replayed Tales from the Borderlands, Wolf, and the Batman games, and it really made me change my options on Batman. I finished Wolf and Tales and had a blast replaying them, when I took a break between episodes I found myself looking forward to playing the next one even though I already replayed it before and knew the story pretty much like the back of my hand. But the Batman games felt like a chore to replay. Honestly it really changed my opinion on them sadly more negatively. I remember playing Batman 1 in 2016 and liking it a lot and then when I finally replayed it this year I actually found myself not liking it, I was actually getting really bored. However that may just be an overall quality drop that was happening at Telltale for multiple reasons more so than the choices. (However even that is kinda hand in hand as replaying Batman, it was still really linear. All dialogue leads to the same, no more hidden dialogue based on things you said before, only things that ever changed were directly involved with a big choice which would just make a binary change that gets reverted to "normal" after next scene and accomplished the same thing. So maybe it was the choices.) I still dont think the Batman games are bad at all but it def did not find myself having a blast replaying.
anyway theres another wall I wrote why am I doing this help-
