  • Well, just finished it.

    And although it didn’t match the first game, it’s still a nice chill game in the same vain as the first. Same feeling and all that.

    As suspected, it’s tough to attempt a continuation of the first story. They dipped a bit much into a few themes that really didn’t seem to fit very well and there’s a distinct lack of interaction with other NPCs. There’s a few random characters you talk to over the radio, but not anything that has any impact on anything.

    So it’s a fine enough game if you just want a bit more of the Oxenfree flavor, but don’t expect too much from it.







  • Overall, a cruel and short-sighted move from Microsoft

    That depends on who and how many they decide to merge into other developer teams and who is let go.

    I mean, I doubt most MS higher-ups would know talent if you threw it at them. But whenever there’s big acquisitions, there’s gonna be some house cleaning. So who gets to stay (if they want to) is likely down to last things they have produced.

    Redfalls team is done for sure. But Tango Works I don’t know… I can imagine overseas based companies are a more tricky beast to handle. So that’s probably down to some cost/benefit analysis if they go or stay.








  • Diplomacy is usually the way to go.

    I realize that this is a foreign concept for Americans, but yes. The stopping of trade or even the threat of such, is a powerful tool indeed. And there is so many options within that concept that doesn’t involve arming every man, woman and child to the teeth and just letting them go at each other until something is resolved.

    Because looking at the countries that encourage such, we see that things just tend to get even more complicated. More complicated and more violent.


  • In that case, why bother to label them at all?

    Let every purchase be a gamble.

    I’m just saying thank the gods for Screenshots, ‘Let’s Players’. because labeling everything as just “RPG” is the same as just labeling every type of meat as just “Meat” and graphics cards as just “Graphics Card” in closed packaging with only the companies names to differentiate.

    I like specifications on the products I might be buying.
