The Game Awards 2023 (December 7) - watch Spider man 2 win everything.

Well Hideo Kojima's new game "OD" is staring Hunter Schafer, the tranny from Euphoria. Apparently Jordan Peele, who writes many black-centric horror films including Get Out, Us, & Nope, will be assisting in the project. Hunter's digitized form in the game fails to look like a woman and ends up looking like a teenage boy.

Awesome, everyone will join me on the "Kojima is a fucking hack" Boat finally.

It doesn't do anything unique, it just does a bunch of things other games have done but does it all pretty well. The most notable of these is player agency. Aside from the numerous routes you can take on quests, the combat is very reactive to your actions. Aside from the generic "red barrel explodes when fire is thrown at it", things that you think would work actually work.
-Need to make a lever move but it's out of reach? Shoot a spell at it.
-This vent is spewing deadly gas? Put a barrel on top of the vent to clog it.
-You want to start a fight with some people in a room but you know their friends in the adjacent room will aggro too? Stack barrels to block the door so they have to run around the building.
-Person you murdered won't talk to you when you cast speak with the dead? Cast a disguise self spell before doing that and they'll think you're someone else.

A lot of this was seen with DSO2 but it's just done very consistent with the choices it allows the player to make. Even if you do this very specific thing that is obviously very stupid and would doom you, it ends the game not because the game says "RELOAD SAVE RETARD" but it shows you a cutscene showing the consequences of your actions. The game lets you make choices and that's a very novel concept in an era of games designed by jaded and seething Hollywood rejects that want to make their movie but are settling with making a movie game with safety rails the entire way through.

So, they basically brought back 90s classic RPG tech, and everyone's sucking their dick like they're "innovating". Got it.

Ya know, I thought that "woman" looked a bit odd. I attributed it to the lighting or some cg uncanniness but it being a tranny makes sense in retrospect.

Given the lukewarm reception his last game had... the UPS simulator one... I can see this one absolutely tanking and I hope it does. Unfortunately, I can also see it being successful because gamers are the dumbest consumers I have ever seen.

It's a real toss up.

Interesting.

That said, that is all stuff that has been done in many immersive sims before, and even in the recent Zelda games for that matter. So why is this game so much more revolutionary than them?
 
Just dress like a normal person, Swen. Stop being a faggot.
It's just free marketing, they managed to have a hit game with almost no paid advertising.
🧛‍♂️❤️🐻 was free frontpage gaming news.
The only really issue is the population collapse that will happen in Baludr's Gate since 50%+ of the women are lesbians, but if you really wanted to you could start that collapse early with your sword and you are allowed to do so.
All the deep gnomes seemed to be gay.
Or just not play turn based fantasy shovelware.
Not liking a game is okay, but betting the farm and spending the best part of a decade making a game can hardly be called shovelware. Shovelware games are by definition low effort to make.

And many people hail Zelda as a masterpiece too. They can both be good.
 
AC 6 winning best action game is all that mattered to me, all the announcements look like shit and OD looks like it's made to bomb.
Anything I should know going into that one? I never got around to buying that, I still need to get Elden Ring on PC for christ's sake, but it seems like it'd be something I'd like. I was a Nintendo kid so i never really played Armored Core.

meanwhile, Will Smith commits assault on live tv (arguably attempted murder because he aimed for the head) and suffers no consequences.

well, i guess the real consequence is being Will Smith and being stuck with his wretched family.
