All I'll say is that RE6 is definitely a game for one who's already neck deep in the series as opposed to a relative newcomer who would get a better first impression with RE5 if they're looking for raw action. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Part of RE's charm is that it actually feels like a universe where straight survival horror a la RE1/RE7 and the pure campy John Woo-aping goodness of the CGI movies can coexist. Only that RE6 is weighed down by other things which might get tiring.
and finally landed back in the crowd-pleasing sweet spot for RE8 (which I absolutely adore and beat like half a dozen times).
Funny thing is that I actually prefer RE8 to 4 (though I played it first). I would consider close to perfect if it were a good bit longer and didn't kill off the entire villager cast in the first 30 minutes.
I also enjoyed RE3R, although it's not quite as good as RE2R and a bit on the short side.
It's a fantastic game on its own merits. Maybe it can get a rerelease pumped full of content someday and people can appreciate it...
Wolf 2 isn't as good as 1/TNO and TOB but is still fun and worth a playthrough.
Let's see. Of the ones which haven't been mentioned yet...
Since Resident Evil hype is up again because the original trilogy just dropped on GOG, I'd recommend the line-up on sale right now on Steam except the one that came after RE5 and before RE7. For games one should start with (in order from "traditional" survival horror to the more action-y titles), RE1 is 5, RE2 is 10, RE7 is 7, and OG RE4 is 5. RE4R is right now discounted to 30.
Doom 2016 is 5 while Eternal is 10. You've probably heard about them.
The Wolfenstein reboot games are around 5 a piece and, aside from Youngblood, are all great.
Command and Conquer Remastered Collection is 6 and is amazing if you don't mind some early 90s RTS jank. You can also get the entire series aside from the RC for just 10.
Persona 4 Golden is 11 while SMT3 Nocturne is 15. Both are good games to start with for Megaten games.
Stardew Valley is 8 and I've been revisiting it lately (owned it since it first dropped).
System Shock 1 EE is 2.50 while 2 is 5. The remake for 1 is 17.
OOTL: Protests happen outside of synagogues holding sale of stolen Palestinian land. MSM outlets, right and “left”, react predictably. This was under a post pointing it out.
On the ad itself, I can’t help but wonder what goes through the hollow skull of a thin-blue-like MAGA hog who thinks the Jews George Soros is funding “antisemitism” while also controlling the Democrats bending over backwards for Israel because… reasons.
Another indie slam
However...
I've seen people say "It's in EA but it's good enough to be considered a full game" but idk about that. It's obvious once you reach the end of EP1 that it's only just the beginning.
That said, it's polished af and an absolute blast to play as it is now, and the devs will release things in chunks until its eventual release in 2025/26 so you won't regret it either way. I think there will be a content update this week or next actually.
- You are a misanthrope whose lack of faith in humanity makes you think hierarchies must be maintained lest the plebs ruin everything. Not that this is mutually exclusive at all, ofc.
There is some tragedy in how the crux of anticommunism (in particular for working class anticommunists) is the mindset that it will always be hammers-and-nails; hence the assumption that communists are either cynical, envious tyrants-in-waiting who don't mean a word they say or the gullible, feeble-minded fools who follow them.
!iww !big-bill !malcolm-checks
For those of you who have been hearing about Selaco for the past few weeks: yes, it's as good as people keep saying it is, though YMMV since it's very much tailored towards people who like 90s/00s shooters and immersive sims (and modern indie games in the same vein). That said, it's oozing inspiration from other games like through atmosphere and music (Halo ODST, Resident Evil, etc), which all fit its somber tone relative to the usual boomer shooter fare.
I could also say it plays like a more agile Wolfenstein TNO with ImSim elements which hits all the right notes for me.
I remember that one Yugioh TBS game (Capsule Coliseum pretty sure) which I used to love as a kid even if I couldn't understand the mechanics and just winged it. Aside from that... can't think of anything else, except the inverted case (games that were later given anime adaptations).
Finnish liberals will tell themselves that Mannerheim mandating summary execution orders during the civil war was a "necessary evil" whereas Lenin is painted as the devil incarnate for less questionable acts.
Yeah that’s what I’m getting at. It doesn’t sit right with me that someone can be so brazenly monstrous and “only“ get a life sentence in a relatively comfortable cell (which I’m otherwise fine with since rehabilitation centers shouldn’t be hell on earth).
That said, being in a cell til you die might be considered a fate worse than death depending on the person so…
There are few beings as Hitler particle dense as a Finnish or Eastern European NAFOid who bemoans Ruzzian imperialism but firmly aligns with NATO and Israel. Also includes current “pro-democracy” Georgians.
Some otherwise normal people who are horribly disfigured by radiation and cursed with immortality versus the people in power who ordered the bombs to be dropped and made them that way.
Seeing war criminals being made in real time has made me reevaluate capital punishment if only against specific “enemies of humanity”.
Unironically, he did do this indirectly by being too soft on the Labour Right before they ousted him.
Bloodlines 2 is looking like it might turn out a decent game but it doesn't seem like it will hit that sweet niche the first one did. Sad.
To be clear, Western liberals asking their governments to blockade or outright militarily intervene against Israel are very naive (even if their hearts are in the right place), but the Zionist posts I've seen in response to that trend are something else entirely. I don't think even South Africa and its supporters pre-Cuito Cuanavale were self-deluded enough to think they could survive being blockaded (much less hit by NATO strikes a la Yugoslavia).
I guess we're going to be seeing a lot more Endsieg posting as Israel pushes the envelope further.
Genius move trying to deflect blame to the guy Biden is willing to pit the "free world" against the ICC for, after sending him weapons in bulk every other day.
Fr, I'm wondering if Blue Dog liberals will ever come to understand that treating the people they are trying to "win over" like imbeciles who don't have access to a 24/7 news stream through the tiny computer in their pocket isn't "the strategy".
Sure is a wonder why Israel has so many friends from the likes of Bolsonaro and Milei supporters.
Inb4 liberal Zionists find the tweet and talk about how Israel is a pluralistic liberal democracy which needs to let the “right fringe” (ie. The Israeli Overton window) have a voice and that extends to all its overseas supporters.
It's funny to me how even in this game (Red Alert 1) where they portray the Soviets as back-stabbing, baby-gassing monsters using everything in le old Black Book and then some, they still can't get me to root for the Allies as anything other than a marginally lesser evil. Guess this line supports that.
“Oh no, big bad Georgian mustache man is going to oppress the poor underdog Europeans? How horrible! Say, what’s going on in the rest of the world in 1950…
“All of these countries are ethnostates! Why can’t we have one? Because we’re Jewish?”
“Because genocide.”
“Point being?”

Sure is interesting how someone with supposedly left-wing views has the exact same suppositions and assumptions about the "conflict" as a West Bank settler.
Palestinians rallying behind Hamas and the October 7th attack is damning evidence of them all being jew-hating religious fanatics who want to declare sharia; same thing with any protestors who may sympathize. Nothing on the status quo before, nothing on the current genocide the IDF has been carrying out with utmost glee and shamelessness, nothing about the impending humanitarian crisis to result from a Rafah invasion (even worse than the one happening now), nothing about the current leadership of Israel making their intentions clear, nothing (honest) about the current protests beyond some bad attempts at gaslighting them into being "antisemitic" ("someone said settlers should go back where they came from, the horror!"). Just crocodile tears to excuse themselves into getting on the same side of the barricade as Joe Biden, Netanyahu, and the "Back the Blue" MAGAts.
Beware the "moderate", folks. !malcolm-checks
By ground level, I mean games where the scope is of people on the ground (either an individual PC or party) rather than playing as an abstract nation or political party like in a grand strategy game. So nothing Paradox- or Kremlingames-related (though, Victoria 3 including little things like pop info is a nice touch).
At first, Fallout 4 seemed to fit the bill with its settlement system but it's still very much within the bounds of capitalism and private property no matter how much I like to think the Minutemen are actually communalists or whatever.
For a group of people shamelessly crying “blood libel” every time you criticize Israel or Israelis, it’s fucking rich of them to miss the irony in this.

Also admitting that you’d side against WWII partisans who killed German settlers (as had happened in the Zamość uprising among many other instances) as well as ANC-associated militias who attacked Apartheid government workers and Boer “farmers” is not having you beat the Hitlerite allegations any time soon.
Especially funny when you go down his own thread and see him bend over backwards to try to defend himself, like saying Ukrainians can have their own October 7th as a treat because it’s “proportionate”.
Welcome to the fourth iteration of Tinto Talks! Today we’ll give you an overview of the different mechanics of the Government part of the game. There will be development diaries going into much more detail for these later on. First of all, we...
> Game starts in 1337 instead of 1444
Pre-Aztec Mexico !lets-fucking-go
This is the post these comments are on lmao. Really is just making an algorithm that spams every pro-Palestine post with the word Gaza with this dumb response.
For the first time, I know what it's like to get an Atlus game (albeit on sale) only for the updated re-release to be announced not too long after !agony-turbo
“It shows”
“There is no evidence of Israel doing that”
I can’t help but wonder if he deep down understands what he’s saying is a load of crap and if he’s aware that he’s just running damage control for Western Liberalism and this rotten world order it’s built for for its own sake. People will be fooled if they want to be fooled, and liberals who want to pretend that their ideology isn’t sustained by the blood of thousands of children in the global periphery will grasp at anything, no matter how weak. Especially true for streamer grift artists whose personal brand depends on it (something something “you can’t convince someone if their paycheck depends on their ignorance)
There’a no link since I just grabbed this screen, but it looks like he deleted/hid it lol
Damn, I wonder why there's such a large overlap between "tough on crime" right-wingers who like to talk shit about a city they think the [redacted]s ruined and people who support what the IDF is doing. Sure is a mystery. Also, taking bets before how long they try to include Johnson as one of their targets in the latest DEI outrage grift.
