Are there any examples of sequels that made more than one ending in the prior game the canon ending?
Besides the obvious example of Daggerfall making all the endings sorta canon, ofc.
Fear & Hunger 2 had to do a balancing act with the first game's endings. It was interesting to see how it was handled. It did the whole "they all happened, but only specific parts of them." thing, and it kinda makes sense because it leaves some details vague.

Invisible War and Human Revolution, I think.
Yes, Invisible War had some kind of hack in which all three endings of DE1 occurred together, as consequences of one another. Tangential but for all of its flaws I think the Invisible War writing was much closer to the core of Deus Ex than Human Revolution's ever was.

Disco Elysium is a kind of ***** RPG if you think about it, a superficial imitation of the real thing without any of its underlying substance. We must take a stand against the threat of transgenreism.
@rusty_shackleford Can you add a rule that gets everyone who mentions ****** Elysium in a positive light or calls it an RPG to be banned on spot?

Love the **** out of Invisible War, not so much with Human Revolution even though I vastly enjoy the combat in HR.

I stand behind my comments and feel no shame about it.

Fallout 3 is ok and Fallout 4 is mediocre( leaning towards bad) but what it does that’s not complete **** saves it from being an an utter trash fire.

Glen Schofield seems to have aged 25 years. The failure of Callisto Protocol destroyed him. Jittery, stammering, slurring speech. Should have moved out of gamedev on a high in the late 2010s, when he was still the good guy Dead Space creator screwed over by the empty suits in the eyes of the public.

Trails in the Sky remake announced



Too cartoony and oversaturated. Sameface. Looks too much like a modern plastic anime. Don't know why they didn't try to emulate the aesthetic of the original with the more gritty textures and the more varied faces, as well as the color palette.

I wonder if this is a complete remake of FC+SC or just FC.

Hopefully it isn't being lolcowlized by Californians (it's gonna be Californians).

I am curious as to how Falcom can be making this AND Kai AND Tokyo Xanadu 2 AND the next Ys game? Did they open another studio or are they outsourcing it?
How do you feel about the Suikoden I & II HD Remasters?
From what I have seen they are objective aesthetic downgrades from the originals, no reason to play them over the originals.
I get what you're saying. The Portraits look soulless and the buildings look like some 3d hackjob from a ******. The rest looks fine and I hope the portraits are moddable.

This actually deserves its own thread but whatever.
The Rainbow Six Siege community is in shock after two videos of the next operator's abilities appeared online, which is set to be added with Operation Twin Shells.

Read more: Rainbow Six Siege’s new operator guide: Skopós
The videos, posted by user Shiiny77 on X (formerly Twitter), reveal that this new playable character will be a disabled person. The first video shows the home screen menu for Operation Twin Shells, which includes the game's new operator and two humanoid robots.

Personally just sick of every Japanese game trying to be a Visual Novel and wall off the audience from driectly participating in their fictional world. If I wanted to watch OTHER people talk in a interactive medium, I'd just lurk online.

Gamedev is hard, but it takes less effort to make fun moment to moment gameplay and not alienate your audience than to write and script 100+ hours of fluff dialogue that could just be written by an AI in seconds.

Where they are now -

Carl Benjamin ran for office in Bongland and lost big time.
Milo Yiannopolous was ostracized from respectable conservatism after libs dug up some interview where he downplayed getting groomed as minor as a thing all gays go through. His last big grift was squeezing Kanye West as much as he could.
Adam Baldwin coined #gamergate. He still does film and tv, nothing notable, as expected.
InternetAristocrat rebranded as Mister Metokur and got cancer. He might be alive, he might be dead, it wasn't going well.
Ralph remains a drama magnet, including baby mama drama, revenge porn drama. Fatso here likes to fight and ****.

tbh felt bad for him for this because he was just coping with getting groomed & raped

Given the texts that have leaked, he seemed to genuinely care for Kanye's well-being. Kanye's dentist got him hooked on nitrous and he tried to stop it.

I want to talk about it since it seems to be a good remake without any woke **** so far.
