A good reminder that Fallout: London is very much the exception, not the rule when it comes to these large fan projects. Really sad to hear still, however.

I really wish written copies of the rules had survived.

Damn shame the decision Remedy made to get the funding from Epic looks like it has backfired (since as I understand it AW2 still hasn’t turned a profit). I truly hope this doesn’t affect their upcoming games as Alan Wake 2 is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had and I want for nothing more than Remedy to keep doing what they’re doing.

I’m interested in all of the spiritual successors, but it should be noted that the standout quality of DE to me was always the writing and the world building, and I don’t think any of the prominent writers are involved in this project. If I remember right from the announcement some months back this project has a writer from Destiny 2 and Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, with the main Disco Elysium connection being Piotr who was systems designer for ZA/UM.

It still sounds interesting from the article and I’ll check it out when it drops, but it isn’t really the spiritual successor I personally am looking for. That would be something by either Red Info (Kurvitz/Luiga/Hindpere/Rostov) or Summer Eternal (Argo Tuulik et al).

I guess like the Onion this sub might be too depressing to be subscribed to as well going forward huh.

Yeah, to me that files under “doable” and not “smooth and easy”, but everyone has a personal definition of those I guess.

Piped bot I believe it was called?

It does? I remember futzing around with it last year for RDR2 and it was kinda annoying.

I’m amazed it’s still available for purchase on PS4, wasn’t it taken off the stores? But yeah, attempting to play Cyberpunk on a previous gen console is… certainly brave. I can’t imagine it’s worth even a dollar in that state.

Thank god GOG allows you to turn off auto updates and/or do easy version rollbacks.

Civ V will do me plenty for another couple years anyway.
