Of course these things have been happening ever since famous people have existed but the “streaming influencer” trend has amplified the effects of those fault lines in my opinion.

I even had a situation where a supply drop landed on a slanted slope which made it impossible to loot because my character would slide down the slope.
I will probably wait on purchasing the game but it definitely has potential.

That place was for sure a highlight of my childhood. I saw many movies at that dome theater and always geeked out when they do the POV run inside the jet cockpit.

I saw the original in my 20s and I knew the basic premise already so I figured a dog with rabies is not that terrifying. Turns out a loose and rabid St. Bernard is proper nightmare fuel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first play through of this game. I got it free from the PS+ monthly game drop, did not know anything about it nor did I play the original, just went in blind. The combat in this game is straight from resident evil 4. The behind the shoulder camera, the limited inventory space, the sparse ammo drops forcing you to be creative with your kills. It’s just set in space and it works great.
The game is creepy as hell. The sound design is immaculate and the music is so creepy I love/hate it. The zero gravity sections in the game were so well done I was genuinely impressed. It took me about 16 hours to beat the game on hard difficulty and I nearly obtained all items except one I think.
I highly recommend this game for any horror game enthusiast. Seems like a true classic in the genre.

They can only amp up the action so much with a 50+ yr old man. We’ve seen them do it with Liam Neeson and it’s not great. Lots of jumpy cuts and out of focus action shots to hide how old he is.

I’m not saying it’s perfect but they did continue the Netflix vibe and have added to it. I still believe Kevin Feige can make things work out and bring us new and interesting stories.

Not many people even knew he had substance abuse issues. I think the estate wants to keep his image as clean as possible.
Oh man the breath of the wild cut is one of the best videos on YouTube.
