I finally installed the Metro System mod for Cyberpunk 2077. This is the very best of modding. It's seamlessly integrated into the core experience and has its own set of features and nuance. I prefer this to the game's own Fast Travel system. God, I love Night City.
ALT A tweet saying "Fake Saints Row fans when the 'woke' Reboot is a financial success and Volition doesn't go out of business." Attached is a video of Homelander from the Amazon series "The Boys" having a breakdown.
Context:
Saints Row (2022) would go on to receive poor sales and negative reviews, citing poor marketing, a radical change in tone from previous games, and a buggy release as why the game flopped. On August 31st, 2023, Embracer Group would shut down Volition Studio after 30 years of being in the industry.
Cyberpunk 2077 locations in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. I am blown away by the attention to detail. The feeling of "Hey, I know where that is!" is constant. Edgerunners is the most accurate video game adaptation ever.
This isn't real. The state of gaming in 2022 is people making shit up about games to make them look bad. I'm rarely ever speechless but it's genuinely baffling that some have to resort to this. This is what the actual screen looks like.
I've finished all new endings for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. CP2077 is a glimpse at the future of storytelling in gaming, and a landmark achievement. 20 years from now, when all games in this genre are *this* captivating, I'll be happy to say:
"Cyberpunk did it first."
Silent Hill 2 Remake has the best micro facial expressions I've ever seen in a game. The eyebrows, the eyes, the lips, all really sell the utter disbelief and sadness that James has at this moment. Luke Roberts killed it and the mocap/animation team at Bloober is stellar.
Just finished Silent Hill 2 Remake. That was brilliant. I've never played a remake which stands in unison with its original. Instead of superseding it outright, it provides a unique and passionately made take on its source material. This is my favorite remake ever.
9/10.
The remake of Silent Hill 2 could really turn out any way, but I'm not understanding the complaints that it looks like a PS3 game. Why are we still judging game visuals by obviously compressed trailers? People really come online to say anything.
Happy Birthday to Cyberpunk 2077! It's been such a wild ride since launch. Despite all the game's difficulties back then, it was obvious to me and lots of others what an incredible experience it offered. Very happy to call it my new favorite game ♥

Just finished Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. That has to be the best anime I've seen since Evangelion. It succeeds on its own merits while simultaneously having the utmost respect for its source material. What a triumph.
9/10.
Never Fade Away.
Cyberpunk 2077: My New Favorite Game is OUT RIGHT NOW! A 30 minute long look at @CDPROJEKTRED's dystopian masterpiece and how I fell in love with a game that changed what I thought the medium was capable of.

Fake Saints Row fans when the "woke" Reboot is a financial success and Volition doesn't go out of business.

Volition Games has announced that its parent company, Embracer Group, is shutting the studio down. The studio was the developer behind the latest Saints Row reboot.
This is effective as of 8/31/2023.
Stop hiring people who dislike Tomb Raider to work on Tomb Raider properties. Stop hiring people who dislike Tomb Raider to work on Tomb Raider properties. Stop hiring people who dislike Tomb Raider to work on Tomb Raider properties.
Cyberpunk's facial animation remains top notch in Phantom Liberty. The way Johnny moves his eyes here is insane. Still really early into the expansion but this is just so impressive.
Clearly this is working as intended, as the Ubisoft wizards are never wrong. You will be deducted 50 points from your Siege social credit for insinuating otherwise and this tweet has been flagged as offensive.
I feel like I'm at the point where I can confidently say this now. Silent Hill 2 Remake is a much better survival horror game than any of the Resident Evil remakes.
Wow, the new Saints Row has the option to customize enemy health and the frequency at which you encounter tough enemies. Seriously a game changer for the franchise and I wish more games would stop tying enemy health to difficulty. This modularity is amazing.
Immersive Sims can't win. Either they sell terribly because gamers can't read them well and are intimidated by their open ended design, or they create tutorials, just for people like this to cry. I think game developers of the caliber of Arkane might know what they're doing.
Happy 5th Birthday to @Rainbow6Game. Life changing experience and sometimes it's hard to remember that whatever problems I have with it are miniscule in comparison to the amount of joy it's brought me. Here's to five more years.
Even the other weird gaming grifters aren't this insane, he should actually be committed. He's a paranoid schizo whose first inclination to this scene was rape.
I think the company had a fairly good track record, it's rough to see one of your favorite devs trashed. I enjoyed my time with the game when it was all said and done, but I do have my own list of complaints with it.
Even I wish they'd made a better game, that comment was directed at people who wished the company would go out of business well before the game even released.
The Boys is, perhaps, the most unsubtle show of our time. The idea that it's taken some people 4 entire seasons to see that they were the joke and that their rhetoric sounds fucking insane to normal people is both funny and damning of their media literacy and comprehension.
Brilliant scene because this is both of their insecurities jumping out at each other. Angela fundamentally believes men are trash and makes an assumption and James probably did *think* of cheating at some point but hates himself for it and won't admit it.
Rest In Peace to Mike Watson, otherwise known as IdolNinja. His dedication to Saints Row 2 was unparalleled and his success in getting fans closer to understanding game development was nothing less than admirable. Rest easy.
CDPR employees seeing people say "modders saved Cyberpunk 2077" after creating the engine, all in-house game assets, going through horrible crunch that didn't work anyways, helping the mod community, and now working on years of official patches
I haven't done 3D in a hot minute so I wanted to put something together that was quick, but I could also learn a few things while doing. Came up with this Tomb Raider render. Was pretty fun to do, and I had the idea that it could be one of many Lara Croft postcards.
People are really shocked this guy has horrendous takes when he made a video about *arena shooters* so poorly researched that Gordon Freeman and Duke Nukem are in the thumbnail? This is nothing new.
Man, I still can't get over how bad and disappointing Shadow of the Erdtree was. Quite possibly the most overrated expansion in video game history.
Video coming soon. It will likely be my most controversial...
Consumers who buy *literally everything* no matter how overpriced a product is have completely destroyed the free market's ability to self regulate and are indicative of how the lower class effectively has no voice or power in said market. Fools and their money are easily parted.
Today, I had my proudest moment as a content creator. This was the point. To share my experiences with games and show people a different perspective from what they'd heard, or experienced themselves.
Thank you @PaweSasko and the rest of CDPR for making such a compelling game.
Cyberpunk 2077: My New Favorite Game debuted as my #1 Most Watched Video in the first 24 Hours and it's already crossed 13,000 views! Thank you so much to everyone who's supported the video, it was so difficult to put together but you guys have made it all worth it!
Angela Orosco is a 19 year old victim of sexual abuse. Turning her into an Instagram bimbo is one of the most deranged things I've ever seen. Gamers need help.

Whoever reviewed Silent Hill 2 Remake for The Guardian is a fucking moron and the review is so awful it should be taken down. Even if the game was terrible, it's so insanely unprofessional and dismissive that it boggles the mind how the writer was hired in the first place.
I still can't believe we're getting a new #SaintsRow in three days. I'm really happy the game was able to overcome its initial perception. That's rare, especially today. 9 years down, two days to go. So excited to play it.
Here's your reminder that Valkyrie from Rainbow Six Siege quite literally shared her ass with Blackbeard, her male counterpart from Operation Dust Line. They're also the same height. If getting women into your game is a priority, you'll find a way. If it isn't, you won't.
Gaming isn't the problem, the people making these essays are. They're obviously depressed and don't understand why video games don't bring them the same amount of joy they did as when their lives were in better places.
I'm not tired of video game remakes, but I am tired of remakes of good games. I want remakes of average and even bad games. Build on their flaws and make them better. Few games, if any, are totally beyond redemption.
Currently wasting way too much time in Saints Row admiring things like real time mirrors and water physics. Details like this in games go such a long way.
This isn't revisionist history. Cyberpunk 2077 is/was a great game that launched in a very poor state. If the underlying game was awful, no amount of overhauls would have kept people around after numerous patches and Edgerunners.
If you've ever wondered how far Unreal Engine has come, here are a number of prototypes and an alpha of the original game dating from 1995 to 1997 showcasing the engine's developing technologies.

The Boss is the best character in the new Saints Row. A series first. By making their problems real, they actually feel like a real character now and not a caricature. They also have the best dialogue and steal every scene they're in. Narrative highlight of the game.
Some gamers are reaching peak brainrot and delusion as they cite Titanfall 2 as a great single player game before the "dark" times of live service games. Titanfall 2 was literally one of the first FPS "games as a service" as we understand the model today. Alternate realities.

"Character Design Sells Games" will explore some of the failures of Concord by comparing it to Overwatch and we'll also talk about how great character design is currently being used to exploit gamers by the industry.
