    That and very little draw in terms of games. No Mario or Zelda flagship title means they will have a lot less sales. None of the other titles they talked about sounded interesting and any third party stuff I'd rather play on my PC like 99% of games.

    Basically the only reason I have to get a Switch is one of those two major franchises and we have neither, I don't think I'm alone in that either.

    You get a much better experience at home nowadays then you will at 90% of theaters.

    You don't have to deal with way overpriced food options, you have whatever you normally have for snacks and drinks. I can pop a $1 bag of popcorn at home that tastes better than movie theater popcorn.

    You don't have to deal with other people being loud or annoying.

    You don't have to deal with messy or grossly kept theaters. Sticky floors, ugh!

    You don't have to deal with 30 minutes of ads before you can watch your movie, you just dive right in.

    You can pause the movie whenever you want if you need to go to the bathroom or want more snacks or drinks or something.

    It's complete freedom and with even a modest budget you can have a decent setup that is plenty good enough for watching movies.

    I will always take a cozy night in versus a $30-$40 per person, poor experience.

    It will never ever happen, but I would kill for an Ultima 7 remake in the style of Skyrim. First person, modern graphics, improved combat and AI, voice acting, etc. keep the story and quests all the same. The ability to pick up any items you want and manage inventory and all that, keep the same just translated to First person.

    Would be my favorite thing ever. But it'll obviously never happen. There's nowhere near enough interest for such a thing

    I would check out Postal 2s DLC, it's basically a sequel but made in the same game.

    It's a whole extra week that takes place after the events of Postal 2.

    Do not get Postal 3, it was made by a different company and is utter dogshit. The devs regret making the deal to have them make the game. In fact you'll see many references throughout the DLC and Postal 4 if you play them to it and how much they regret Postal 3.

    And then Postal 4 if you're still interested. Like I said I haven't gotten around to playing the full release yet, it's on my list, so I can't speak to the whole game but it seemed on par with Postal 2

    Oh I see. My bad, yeah you are maybe 1/3rd through the game then. I was referring to something else.

    Agreed with everything you said. FO had a great balance. Yeah I had to force myself to get through it. Though if you got to the betrayal part, you're pretty near the end of the game. If you only want to best it you could easily do that in one more session. You only have like 2 or 3 main objectives left and not much exploration left either (like some of those objectives taking you to new massive areas to get through i mean).

    I really hope the third game takes more in line with FO than Survivor.

    Oh man, Black Mess's Xen is a ride. They fully remade it in their own vision. It's now more along the lines of what was originally intended but cut back for time cause they had to release the game or go bankrupt. I believe Gabe Newell said that Xen was one of his few regrets in his career.

    Finished Jedi Survivor over the weekend. I was rather disappointed in it, because I enjoyed the first one quite a bit and it didn't hold up to my expectations.

    The story was weak. Ironically the first game felt more like a "Survivor" storyline with being hunted by the Inquisitors and everything. But the whole Tanalorr plot, the betrayal plot, was very meh on personally.

    I found the level design to be atrocious. It's clear they wanted to use more verticality compared to the first one but they did it very poorly. It was so confusing to figure out where the hell you were and where you had to go next, and so many times you'd get turned around and disoriented. I'm usually very good with navigation/direction but somehow they made it so confusing I had trouble so many times to reorient myself.

    Something which should be SO easy with a 3D holographic map. The level design in FO was much better.

    I also found it way too long/big of a game. There was just too much open world crap in it for what it was. I think if the story was cut down by like 1/3rd maybe and the overall largeness of the maps/open world stuff was halved it would've been so much better.

    It was just way too much junk and running around these poorly designed levels to find chests and loot was a slog and a grind that was not fun. Open world games, especially AAA games these days are so bloated just to pad the playtime and it shows and it sucks.

    They need to cut the boring stuff, keep the good stuff and condense it to just the fun mechanics. It feels like they had a bunch of ideas and did all of them rather than picking the best ones and dumping the rest.

    And lastly, I hate hate hate how they treat lightsabers. Disney in general doesn't fucking understand lightsabers and it's so infuriating. They treat them like batons instead of swords and it's just terrible. I had this issue with the first game as well but I think it's even worse this time around.

    Overall I'd say 7/10, there was some good parts, I like the characters, and I'm interested to see what the story would be for the third game given how this one ended. But overall very meh.

    Don't play Inscryption then. Haven't played it myself because that style of game doesn't interest me but I've watched enough video essays about it to get the gist and you would probably hate it.

    I just played this for the first time a month or so ago and I found it incredibly disjointed. The gameplay was alright, the story was a mess. I did like the major thing that happens halfway through that gets you an "upgrade" (not sure if we should discuss spoilers or not) but that was about the only standout part of the whole game.

    I really enjoyed TNO and TOB back when I played them, but TNC just felt rushed and missing so much potential

    Edit to add, perfect example, the KKK seemed like it was going to be a much bigger part of the game from the trailers, and it ends up being a 3 minute walking sequence. That's it. That's all they're there. You don't even get to kill one. Such a waste.
