The Dark Queen of Mortholme is brilliant but takes usually no more than half an hour to play through.

I bought it understanding it's length, but the art of the experience was what I wanted. It's just not objectively true that a game needs to be longer to be worth your money.

    I... don't actually understand how to do that. I broke my back two decades ago, and no one ever told me after I healed I could move again the way I used to, so there are ways people understand how to move that I've just forgotten

    Sorry for the poor title, but even when people talk about climate change, and know it's hotter for them, people don't actually seem to talk about the impact on the rest of the biosphere.

    I can't tell if it's not thought about, or just not discussed as much because it is not 'relevant' to their lives.

    I can barely function outside for a few minutes without being drenched in sweat, and some of it is probably poor health and not being used to it, but I can tell sl with certainty that I can't survive outside in this heat, and I'm living as a result of a trick or technology.

    The animals though? Some of them are straight up fubbernucked. There will be mass animals die offs and people won't even notice.

     

    Maybe I like bad games, or maybe Cyberpunk 2077 was never quite as bad as people say - I'm not sure because I unironically love Forspoken and think it's one of the best games I've ever played.

    I did hate on the game hard at release, and a lot of it was well deserved, trying to play it on PS4 or Xbox One ( I picked it up on both ) was actually awful and unstable, I couldn't progress past the club at the beginning of the Street Kid life path so I eventually hung it up for a while.

    I bought it at launch, and it was a bad launch, reminded me of the launch of No Man's Sky, except visually the game was stunning, and there was a lot more substance, but it was actually broken.

    I ended up giving it a real try at the end of 2021 when I managed to get my hands on an Xbox Series X and it was a drastically different game. This was before the 'next gen' patch, but it had enough fixes and ran butter smooth on the Series X that I ended up getting enthralled.

    Y'all this game is good. I had a great build that was frustratingly nerfed hard at the next gen patch ( RIP Overwatch ) but wow the story and world is so interesting, and I feel like this is this AI revolution story just waiting to be told in the background - it's good shit.

    I haven't played since the next gen patch, so all that will be new to me along with Phantom Liberty so I'm looking forward to a drastically different game than I played a year and a half ago.

    I think CDPR finally did it, or will have did it upon release.

    I can't wait.
