I actually have played Disco Elysium and agree that it's writing is consistently higher than Cyberpunk's but I remember doing the devil ending in Cyberpunk and hearing male V express his fear of death, and the desperation to escape it at all costs felt so real to me in a way I've never seen. I've dealt with terminally ill patients and idk I've never seen someone capture the denial and bargaining as well as I felt it myself playing the character.

My favourite moment of writing in Disco Elysium was probably speaking to the boat lady who spits out some very harsh truths and for sure represents best the idea of "absords all critiques into itself" idea.

I must play Planetscape Torment because it's the other big rpg that I've heard lots tell me is the pinnacle of writing in the genre.

Yeah the writing in Cyberpunk 2077 is honestly phenomenal, and the setting is really good. I was honestly shocked by how good the writing and VA in this game actually are. Maybe it's because it's more relevant to me, but it's the first time since FNV I really felt the writing in a game was gripping and interesting to me on a serious level.

It's gameplay is honestly decent enough as well. Gunplay isn't bad, and with the large amount of mobility makes the gunplay even more fun. Hacking and stealth are a bit op but fun, my biggest problem is the melee combat feels a bit weightless.

I am for sure looking forward to Phantom Liberty and the perk rework. Maybe my view of cyberpunk is tailored by the fact I never bought into the hype so I was never let down by it. I just watched Edgerunners, loved it. Played the game and was further impressed.

Kbin already is, it was very much a side project by Ernest that was no where near as mature as Lemmy. As it stands it is growing extremely fast, proportionally it is way more active and grows faster than Lemmy itself. Kbin.social iirc is neck and neck with Lemmy World.

The Lawyer moshpit will begin. Money is likely to be made, but fuck me these legal cases seem tiring to even be near.

It has similarities, but it's very clearly a child of Squad imo; The focus on team cohesion, squad based tactics and the low ttk all say so. The level designer was a Squad fan themself. The fact it's working on a mil-sim mode is funny to me, because it's already pretty squad like so I am interested in how much more they cna do with it.

Maybe, I honestly love going to the movies but it seems the age of the generic blockbuster is done really. It's nearly all sequels or franchises. I want to wathc something not particulary groundbreaking but still interesting and not need to watch it's five previous movies.

The last movie I felt scratched that itch for me was the DnD movie which was relatively detached. I like movies like that and I wish there were more. Don't get me wrong I like a good franchise but when everything is a franchise it's maddening.

You're being downvoted because people don't understand you're not talking about "far left" like some Trumper. You mean literal tankies, which absolutely yes some of the Lemmy Devs are as well as Lemmy.ml. It's also a reason I selected Kbin.

True in that sense, I suppose I am lucky that these stories are rather uncommon in countries I visit and live in.

I do have somewhat of a fear of these walkways and escalators for stories like this although I do know it's irrational.

Es ist gut für mich. Ich muss mein deutsch auffrischen. Es ist ein problem fur anderen leute, weil Kbin kein spracheinstellung hat. Aber Sie können wählen nur deine "Magazines" sehen möchten.

It was at least better when you could see upvotes and downvotes instead of just a universal score. It let you know whether or not something was actualyl somewhat agreed with even if the majority didn't like it.

Honestly I felt it was pretty on par for an RPG game. Many quests have multiple outcomes, you get follow-up quests depending on how you handle certain things. You have about 3-4 separate endings to the game.

Most games don't have the kind of choices people actually expect and still get called rpgs. Skyrim for example has only a handful of quests with different outcomes and it's still considered a great RPG, although I myself have severe criticisms of it.
