It was funny watching koei tecmo fumble their latest releases. Their sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima knockoffs have flopped terribly. They tried to revive the Dead or Alive series, but It didn't work out well for them. the microtransactions are even worse than In the previous game. Finally, they failed to attract the quasi-puritanical audience by making the girls look "less objectified", even though the average fightan autist knows that one of the main selling points of DOA was the sexy female characters and jiggle physics.
They been doing pretty well recently with a string of successes like Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, dynasty warriors origins and the remastered of Ninja Gaiden 2 remaster.

Why do modders clutter their town overhauls with planters and flora? These aren't groves, use statues. I'm looking at an overhaul of Vivec that puts trees and potted plants in all the corners, like its their mom's apartment iving room.

You don't understand wanting to be a cool creature instead of a ****** gay human?
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

If this cool creature still looks like a human then yeah I wouldn't mind.

The thing with furries and scalies is that their fantasies demand that you no longer resemble anything human. Which I think is weird.

It should be called loadscumming, not savescumming. The issue isn't having your progress recorded, it's being able to go back to arbitrary points and redo your failure until you succeed.
Games that attempt to address this seem to focus on the saving which is a terrible idea, losing progress sucks.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

There's no way to get around it. If you remove the load button people will just suicide to force a save reload.

This is fixed by continuously saving anytime the gameworld changes, so they'd have to convert to hinduism and suicide irl.

Sure, that can still be exploited(backing up save files in dork souls), but it conveys to the player how the game is meant to be played without making the game worse by losing progress.

Fair enough. But I did enjoy the gameplay, it’s not like we get many AAA immersive sim’s nowadays that’s isn’t some niche indie game.

I agree, the gameplay was the star and why I stuck through it. Immersive sims really are the goat genre, love the variety of player choice it makes revisiting the game a treat each time. The story was terrible, but just imagine how much better it could have been with competent writers who aren't ****** or femcels

Layoffs 4 years after their last release. They were probably really not doing all that much during that time.

I hate that the good-aligned option of dealing with drug dealers is giving them a stern talking-to and accepting their word they'll stop pushing.

A Criminal Past was great and it would have been nice to get a full game with that kind of writing.

I recently played it and had high expectations after reading others impressions but honestly felt pretty disappointed in it, especially the characters. What made it stand out to you?

I found all those fellows entertaining.
Demanding, resource-strained (at least until halfway through when it starts dumping a ton of stuff on you), significant reduction in libtarded writing. You're in a prison so all the inmates are guys, there are far fewer female guards than the base game, and it takes an even-handed "all these bastards are awful" approach to the story. Great cast of characters too.

Just kill them, who cares what the game thinks of it, it's a horror setting with ****** up morals

There are more people watching Synthetic Man playing the game than there are actually playing it.
