For other unmentioned hits you have Persona 4 Golden, SMT 3 Nocturne, Tomb Raider Legend, Destroy All Humans, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (ignore Tom Clancy’s garbage politics and it’s a fun, “grounded” military stealth game alternative to MGS).

I loved the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games as a kid and they all got ported to PC but IDK how well they aged, so….

Aria of Sorrow, Fire Emblem, Minish Cap… yeah

Okay, let me rephrase. They can try, but I don't think it will work on anyone but the bluedogs who were already eating that shit up.

This really is the best outcome in the event of Trump's win. Dems eat shit and they can't try to scapegoat Jill Stein or pro-Palestinians (a la Michigan) like they did Ralph Nader or dissatisfied voters in the 2000 election.

"Artist": Hong Kong is where the properly British-civilized Chinese are located (and clearly want independence from the See See Pee) but also I'm going to make a racist joke at their expense

Curious why they don't go all the way and do the other racist Polandball thing of giving Asian countries lines for eyes.

It’s funny to me that for all their massive egos, the Altmer are horrible empire builders whereas Cyrodiilics, people they look down and want to impose their rule on, are literally named imperials for a reason. They can barely keep an alliance with the Bosmer and Khajiit (who are more or less forced to be with them for protection) because their populace is largely too stuck up their own asses to pretend to give a shit about the Dominion’s own stated goals. How the fuck are they going to manage a continent-spanning empire centered on a province of Men whose entire culture is built on resisting Elvish oppression? Even just numerically speaking, it’s impossible.

The Elder Scrolls series has been pretty good at highlighting this as well playing with general tropes involving fantasy Elves; namely how unwarranted the idea that Elves having longer lifespans (by like a few centuries) and “sophisticated culture” grants superiority (see: Ayleids and Dunmer especially). ESO takes this up a notch even if it does give out mixed messaging by at some points unironically YAS KWEENing Ayrenn and giving said ESO guilds their unwarranted admiration for her. She is a massive hypocrite who still holds on to her prejudices when, after everything in the AD questline, she should know better.

IIRC they still have some brainworms with regard to things like the USSR and PRC but that’s forgiven considering the alternative.

Should have kept the original dialogue since it still fits.

Kicking myself at never thinking of using cornstarch to fry

They took away his magnificent gloved hands in the RE2 Remake smh

Ah, not sure why I assumed otherwise.

And yeah, Chronicles of the Second War looks like a great modernization of the original, as someone who obsessed over Warcraft 2 back in the day. Human campaign is still under development though.

Personally, I think a campaign interface that's the Dark Crusade and Soulstorm campaigns combined with aspects of Total War (like unique buildings suited for that province, separate from the main RTS battle buildings) would be ideal. Could expand the scope to be multiple star systems to really get the "grand" scale.

And by guilds, do you mean Avatar Conquest from TW Shogun 2?

FEAR 1 and Wolfenstein TNO were some of my favorite games of all time so it’s only natural their sequels fell short.

In FEAR 2’s case, while it’s a rock solid shooter in its own right, it’s so obvious just how much it was trying to fit in the mold of the “gritty modern military shooter” that was predominant at the time (especially MW2). Stripping the tactical shooter elements like leaning still irks me.

For Wolfenstein 2, they tried to shake up the gameplay formula of TNO/TOB but the end result was something I was never quite satisfied with. To list some issues, Stealth went from being hilariously too easy to being a convoluted mechanic that I rarely ever used after the first engagement. Them splitting the Assault Rifle of the first game into the SMG and StG took away the entire point of the AR being a reliable weapon that was competent in most situations and replaced it with a useless peashooter (on higher difficulties) and cheesable death cannon respectively.

I’d love to buy Reforged just for the fantastic-looking Warcraft 2 mod but I feel dirty paying any sort of money to reward that lousy attempt of a remake (and I don’t think it’s been cracked). Plus, I absolutely despise Battle dot net, so there’s that.

I remember. Relic saw that people generally liked the first game (and expansions) better but could not stick to a direction and came to an unsatisfying compromise between both. And because of that flop, we’re still resorting to modding DC and Soulstorm.

I’ve been holding onto hope for another shot with the successes of Space Marine 2, Darktide and Mechanicus showing that W40K has a future in games, but RTS as a genre has been mired for the past decade. Relic’s less than stellar reception with CoH3 hasn’t helped.

Actually have been interested to play a reformist council republic like this. Maybe as the People’s Republic of Korea.

Only Zionists have the audacity to use racist imagery of non-white men sexually assaulting white women to justify "retaliatory" violence (ranging from "individual" lynching to collective punishment/pogroms) and then act incredulous when someone from a group historically targeted by that violence doesn't want to fuck with them.

(Yes, I know many non-white Israelis exist and can be just as much Zionist-fascist pigs. Doesn't mean Israelis aren't perceived to be whiter and more "Western" than Palestinians by Westoids, which is something that the Zionists themselves love to exploit)
