And I am the skeleton in that crypt that turned to dust just now. (58 y.o.)

Is this even allowed? Some people will now walk to the toilet and never be seen again by their families. :D

Compare movie posters of women whose eyes or even whole heads you can't see or that are reduced to legs vs. movie posters of male actors to whom this is rarely done and it is clear what is happening.
Top this with the problems people of color face and that the new poster takes away her facial look, the look of a person of color and replaces everything that reminds of her with a bland face that could be anyone and I understand her anger.

She could have explained the issue instead of lashing out, because so many of her fans (and people in ths thread) don't understand the problem and education is necessary and more helpful for everyone.

We buy tech of the future that might or might not work/get government approval/make actual sense to build so we can't be blamed for ruining the climate with AI using up all the energy. That's the more earth bound version of: I don't care about climate change because we will live on Mars soon^(tm)^.

Definitely check out the soundtrack of this game. It is really good - weird but good.

What interests me more:

  • Will a mostly single player game again be online only?
  • Will there be elsusive targets or similar parts of the game, where I pay for something that I might not be able to access, because If I don't have time or want to play in a specific week I won't be able to access it?
  • Are you going to sell us the game in parts and over and over again until I end up like I do now on EPIC where I have no way of actually knowing what content I own and which I don't own and having to buy the elusive targets twice (once when they were timed and now that they are not anymore)?

IO Interactive makes good games, but they got away with a lot of shite every other developer would get crucified over. I am just waiting for the day Hitman gets unplyable because they shut off the servers.

No matter how good their next IP will be, if they go on with these practices, then I am not buying. It is unnecessary and anti consumer and there are more good games than I can play in a life time that allow offline play and where I don't need a spread sheet to find out what content I want/need.

Dies ist zu gruselig selbst für den Oktober.

It definitely is on MY 100 list forever, but other games on their list are definitely not on mine. Also a list that doesn't include Gothic 1 or 2 is inherently flawed. ;)

I understand that these lists create clicks, so it is probably worth the hassle for them to spent a lot of time compromising on it. It is also the list of 2024 - so it is not a final thing just a glimps into their current thoughts lasting 12 months until the next list, so recency bias is fine.

For what YOUR top 100 are I recommend checking out https://www.grouvee.com/ and sharing your thoughts and reviews and keeping your collections organized. It is free and the community is welcoming and well moderated.

Unknown 9: Awakening will release tomorrow. The Steam forum for the game is already flooded with shit. They love to complain because in this case they can not only be misogynistic shitheads but also be racist. There will always be a next one. They will ignore the games that succeed and see games that don't as proof even when there are completely different reasons for the games not selling than they claim. There are days where I quetion if I should look for a different hobby to just not have to deal with these people.
