@Raimyah @TheInternetFish @grok Was bored so I dig some digging, the creator is @Whambas_ and this clip is from his instagram, he is playing 'Matilda' a game on itch(dot)io and he doesn't seem to be active on X.

@bartonovopolis It was mind blowing. When the initial cutscene ends and the camera swings to the back of your car, I couldn't believe the whole game just looks like that. I just sat there expecting a loading screen or something at first. Hard to explain

@ADHDMemess An excuse shirks responsibility and screams "it wasn't my fault!" Which doesn't matter in some contexts. e.g. If you are late for work because the bus broke down you are supposed to say "Sorry, it won't happen again"(accepting responsibility). Then, you give the reason if asked.

@LegionzGaming It took a minute to realize that the joke is they're changing games, because they all look the same

@nostalgiaa This meme would work even better if you added more and more things to the HUD as the years went on

@RayJellyTwitt @timeproofgames Incredible game. Loved it as a kid, and when I revisted it years later it really held up.

[Phatriik @phatriik]

@JJunkWarrior God even Nintendo is so bad for this, NPCs yap so much in the 'adventure' or 'story' mode that the game becomes insufferable to finish e.g. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Mario Golf: Super Rush, Mario Tennis Aces, not to mention modern Pokemon games...

[Phatriik @phatriik]

@lordvictor In the game Duskers this works because you can feel that once all of your drones are dead, so are you. The way the game is presented goes a long way to establish this vibe. This clip however, looks similar to a million other 3rd person shooter games

[Phatriik @phatriik]

@xshawnthomas @juunibug I believe it started with the PS3 replacing select with the 'share button' & moving the functions of select to touch pad presses. But why? Hard to pin down

[Phatriik @phatriik]

@shhmocaine @JackOfFaces I was thinking the same thing. An extremely rich guy could take the bait, smash the watch and say something like "I have 50 others just like it". What then?

@valvesoftware Please don't let this scalper madness happen when the Steam Machine releases 🙏

These descriptions feel like I'm playing a text based choose your own adventure game

You buy a German anvil. It contains 83 moving parts and requires winding twice a day. It's forged from excellent steel, holds tolerances across all three striking faces to within three microns, includes a beautifully indexed horn-adjustment mechanism nobody asked for, and requires a proprietary 11-point spanner should you need to replace the rebound calibration bushing. It runs flawlessly for years, but one day it starts up in limp mode because the onboard anvil-management system detects that it's overdue for its 50,000-strike inspection.

You search AliExpress for a Chinese anvil, and are presented with a multitude of offerings from such household-name brands as DUKXJYIBF, HDBTGMXI, AND UEJQIP. They're all priced to within a few pennies of each other, appear completely identical except for the nameplate, and obviously all came out of the same factory. You text your blacksmith friend to ask if they're legit. He tells you he got one like that from KIXJBU a few years ago, and that it's been great and a terrific deal. You thank him, but KIXJBU seems to have folded so you buy the one from UEJQIP. When it arrives, it feels suspiciously light. You scratch it and realize it's iron-plated aluminum.

You buy an American anvil. It's five times the price of the competition, but it comes from a brand that your great-grandfather used to love. It comes boxed with a warranty registration postcard, twenty pages of safety instructions, assay certificate, and a regulatory slip which lists its FCC certification and ITAR registration. It looks just like your friend's KIXJBU. There's a "Made In China" sticker on the bottom.

You buy a Russian anvil. It arrives coated in cosmoline, wrapped in newspaper from 1974, and weighing 40% more than advertised. The finish looks like it was machined with a shovel. The face is not flat, but somehow this does not matter. You drop it off a truck, accidentally leave it outside for six winters, and use it to straighten a bulldozer blade. It's fine.

You buy a Swedish anvil. It comes flat-packed in a long cardboard box with cheerful Neo-Grotesk lettering and a line drawing of a smiling man assembling it with an Allen key. The instructions contain no words, only pictograms showing the anvil face, horn, waist, feet, and 112 identical-looking fasteners. Halfway through assembly, you discover that the pritchel hole was installed upside down, but only because you used peg B17 where you should have used peg B71. Once assembled, it is clean, stable, and works better than it has any right to. You immediately wonder whether you should have bought two.

You buy a Japanese anvil. It arrives wrapped in rice paper inside a paulownia box, accompanied by a certificate bearing three generations of signatures and a photograph of the first production example being presented to the Emperor. The face has been hand-polished by a seventy-eight-year-old master whose family has made striking surfaces since the Muromachi period. You are given detailed instructions for oiling it with a cloth folded in a specific way. It is the most beautiful object you own. You never quite work up the nerve to strike it.

Sheesh look at the replies on this AI slop video. Dead internet theory. You can't even tell the difference between the bots and the people reacting normally that thought it was real.

The more of this game I see, the more it looks like it's just IOI's attempt at Uncharted. Hitman fans will likely be disappointed with the lack of Hitman-style mission approach options available, and longtime Bond fans will likely be let down too. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Hay gente muy perdida con las duraciones de los juegos.

Si 007 FIRST LIGHT dura 20 horas, será fantástico, este tipo de juegos duraban menos hace muchos años.

Encontrarse gente diciendo que se alegran que sea un juego corto, es gente que ve mundos abiertos 24/7

@ThatJunkman Imagine if they did this kind of revisionism to Me, Myself and Irene... the film would be reduced to 30 minutes!

@7Negative_Creep I like to say I'm gonna go use the restroom (I need to rest) and then I go to bed

[Phatriik @phatriik]

@realradec These video game adaptations are never made for the audience that loved the game, they are made for general audiences. They want to grow the IP, not appease existing fans (and I hate it)

[Phatriik @phatriik]

@KirscheVerstahl >Game where you capture and train animals to fight against one another
>Disqualify player for swinging his fist in the air before a respectful handshake
More respect is being shown here than your rival shows the player in the original games. "Smell ya later!"

[Phatriik @phatriik]

@Shpeshal_Nick The game already has so many bots, half the playerbase wouldn't even notice if they did this!
