Still not finished Signalis.. struggling a bit with free time for gaming. Just wanted to say, I do play games for story and/or atmosphere. Like watching a movie, and I do like my movies to have a story or atmosphere.
I hated the gameplay (for being very easy) and the story was meh on Death Stranding, but the mood and the feel of that game won me over, so I finished it and even went back to try 100%ing it.
My job makes me having social interactions for most of my day, so a game that gave me the feeling of isolation and loneliness like Death Stranding 2 or 3 hours before sleeping was kind of pensive at the time. Few weeks after finishing the game, Covid happened, and since then I had few instances of isolation IRL, and it wasn't nearly as introspective as Death Stranding. So I look fondly on that game even tho all the gaming aspects of it were boring IMO. Just the atmosphere was great.
So yeah, I can consume any media if the atmosphere and/or story is enjoyable or challenging (in a positive way)
I will check the video, I like video essays.
It's not game breaking. the clunkiness shows in combat situations, but you can just do 'dark souls run past the enemies' in most cases. I like this game for the atmosphere and story mostly.
I wasn't a big fan of the old RE games (could never get used to fixed cameras), but Signalis works for me. Still haven't finished it, free time seems precious commodity these days, but come the next weekend I'll hopefully definitely will have the time to continue the game.
With this behaviour and this thinking you'll be voting against "The Bigger Evil" for the rest of your life. Your kids will be bullied into voting for "The Lesser Evil" their whole life, your grandchildren will be reminded by their friendly AI legal expert to vote for anyone just not for "Evil Jeff".
Your whole political conscience revolves around a struggle that doesn't exist. You do no good voting for any of these manipulative racists, liars and/or genocidal clowns by listening to paid twitter jesters or hollywood stars. The eChoEs of these shouting matches are so loud now, normal spoken words don't have any weight.
If you put just a fraction of the energy, money or your thoughts into changing your fascist system instead of this useless reality show you call politics every four years (and the years in between), you might be able to die with a knowledge that your children and grandchildren could live in a (more) normal world.
But where's the fun in normality? right?
Signalis (on Switch)
The music, the sounds, the visuals create a perfect mood. I’m not far into the story, but for now it’s very intriguing. One of the few games where I don’t mind the backtracking. Despite the retro look, the game is very immersive.
There is some clunkiness tho. Might be better on a PC.
If you like sci-fi with a bit horror, ambiguous storytelling, gloomy atmosphere, try it.
ooooh! The Welsh language sounds nice, they should ditch English. I like it! Thanks!
Was listening to this: The Waeve
One half of this band is Rose Elinor Dougall, one of The Pipettes. That's how I got reminded of them.
It’s either Burlington or somewhere on the west coast of the US for people I know irl it seems. I’ve seen a bit of North East NA, I don’t mind the Gilmore Girls aesthetics, but without the relationship drama…
This band is the reason Spotify Wrapped this year thinks I'm from Burlington, US.
They also dream-pop.
