hahahahaha

i dont want to use all these half implemented launchers but i do hope that it prompts steam to get their thumb out of their ass and start making positive changes for developers and users instead of just extortionately rentseeking. hopefully they start by getting rid of all the fucking nazis and pedophiles on their site, or even ditching their toxic forums systems. but i dont have that much faith in valve to even alter their revenue sharing scheme honestly

yeah basically toasthaste is right. i have a thing for shootery games that take themselves seriously and that thing is that I don't really like them.

i finally got around to trying warframe the other day and it was all Halo and I was like, "well shit". It kind of doesn't matter how good the plot, if it's halo-y or gears-y or anything that looks tough and military and humorless, I'm out.

this world looks colorful and funny and interesting. that's the way it looks like borderlands

Edit: also the setting is almost identical. Edge world frontier town, lots of crazy guns, corporate exploitation is causing gentrify-y problems, frontiersmen vs corporation, life has very little value, both worlds have Scags (whatever TOW calls them)

I get the feeling that Borderlands 3 is going to be an online service mess because of pitchford. This looks like it could be the Borderlands 3 I wanted rather than the one I suspect I'm gonna get.

My polygon nerd friends noticed that there was a new private video in polygon's Monster Factory channel the day before this dropped, and then in Overwatch that day I saw someone named Trash Hulk and told them that I'd heard word that there might be a new monster factory coming out very soon, and then IT HAPPENED and I hope that I'm now a legend in this person's mind.

ehh lots of shooters are/try to be funny.

There's senerio overlap with the whole edge of the galaxy, mega corp thing and the guns but that's about it. It's a dialog heavy RPG with a focus on doing things your own way vs daibo with guns, and the art is it's own thing. There's a whole lineage of immersive sims it's playing with that seems so removed to me lol
