Even if you want to say day one embargo because of early access release, that’s fine. So I guess that means Baldur’s Gate 3 was a rushed buggy mess at launch. Oh wait, it wasn’t. The logic is still stupid.

Most people agree Baldur’s Gate 3’s Act 3 was unoptimized with fps sinking and many bugs. Larian rushed to release a month earlier than planned to beat Starfield’s release, which is funny in retrospect given the difference in reception and sales of the two. BG3 still reviewed well because the rest of the game was stellar.

 

[Bernardougf]

The game might be technically sound with good production value cinematics.

But in modern day, how many people care about Indiana Jones? The franchise was at its biggest in the 80s, and its popularity carried over to some console or PC games in the 90s. It's now 2024 and the recent movie is junk.

Disney.. killing one franchise at a time.

Don’t waste your time. Even if the reviews came out 5 months ago, it would still be too late for all the whiners.

You’re right. Sometimes the takes are just too dumb to resist.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

I've been kinda lukewarm on this but I'm starting to feel the hype as we get closer to release. Just watched through the original trilogy and I'm totally in the mood now.

Same.

Finished original trilogy.

Loaded full COD package. Its COD only all the way till Indi release.

Even Spielberg and Lucas don’t like Doom. They feel their divorces they went through right before the movie affected it too much.

The ONLY good thing about Skull is the Indy/Marion reunion.

That's why I love it. It's just so fucking dark and twisted. Another awesome dark middle chapter (even though it takes place pre Raiders) just like Empire.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Absolutely wild. First time 4090 is listed in requirements? Ryzen 7 7900 is also hardcore especially at that framerate target. I got both but sheesh this better be the best looking game ever made.

Nope, a 4090 was the top spec for a number of games which use Path Tracing including Portal RTX, Cyberpunk 2077 with PT mode, Black Myth Wukong, etc

Path Tracing is insanely heavy on your GPU which is why basically only RTX 40 series can really handle it. PT destroys my 3090 and I've been waiting for the 5090 to drop before I take on some of these games

We really doin this? Autism War!

Red Dawn was the first movie to receive a PG-13 rating, which was implemented on July 1, 1984. The movie is a World War III fantasy about a group of teenagers fighting against Russian invaders. Some say that the movie was exceptionally violent, which led to the introduction of the PG-13 rating as a designation between PG and R.

The MPAA rated Flamingo Kid PG-13 before Red Dawn was completed. It didn’t release until after Red Dawn.

The PG-13 rating exists because parents groups were attacking Spielberg in 1984 over Doom and Gremlins being PG, he suggested the new rating.

The Flamingo Kid holds the distinction of being the first film to receive the new PG-13 rating created by the MPAA in summer 1984. The 3 Jul 1984 LAHExam reported the film received the rating due to profanity. Under previous MPAA rules, profanity meant an automatic R rating, but the new PG-13 rating allowed for limited profanity. Producer Michael Phillips told the paper he thought the rating was appropriate and had no plans to appeal it.

Temple is my favourite even if i know that last crusade is the much better movie.

I have very weak feelings for the first one, i think i only saw it once and only remember a snake pit and melting faces...

Never saw the other 2.

You and I both, brother! And movies with Mr. Haim in them kept me occupied in the 80s!

 

[Windom Earle]

cause the Uncharted games really reinvented the wheel. Love those games, but they’re about as cookie cutter as adventure games get.

That's my point, genius. Uncharted got boring a long time ago and this will not be better. If people expect good gameplay from this the cope is real.

 

[djjinx2]

Just got round to watching the trailer and it looks fantastic.
Hyped to play now.

 

[jason10mm]

Go back and watch Beastmaster from 1982. There is nudity, child sacrifice, attempted fetuscide, and fairly extreme gore. And it was PG!!!!!

The "need" for a tweener rating between PG and R was definitely coming. Though these days most films get a R for language alone, all the rest has been waaaaay toned down and hyper violence is all over PG stuff.

 

[Ristifer]

That's my point, genius. Uncharted got boring a long time ago and this will not be better. If people expect good gameplay from this the cope is real.

More shite to pick apart.

Why is Uncharted even brought up? Those games and this one have completely different approaches. “Duhhhh, man goes for artifacts. Game must be exact same.”

Saying a AAA game isn’t trying anything new is the most pointless argument ever made when it’s just made to be what it is. It never promised some massive innovation in the adventure genre. Who the fuck actually expects that from an Indiana Jones game? No one. Your argument has no merit.

Seems like you expected Indy to whip out the portal gun and start 2D platforming adventures in some wild genre-bending game. But yes, people wanting good gameplay are coping. Riiiiight.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Who seriously hears all these arguments from that grifter and says yep, all makes sense? This is brain rot.

Embargo 5th
Early access 6th
Retail release / Game Pass 9th

How is "the latest blow to the game's reception comes from discovering that Xbox is now not allowing any critics to post reviews or share their thoughts about the game until it's available to the general public on December 5th" even computing with the dates above? Retail date is 4 days later motherfucker. When devs make an early access with extra $$$, it's because they plan on day 1 FOMO from critical acclaim. Bunch of fucking clowns. Feed that shit into the SBI thread and for the love of god leave alone the adults talking about the game.

No, I’m saying you could say something similar about 99% of AAA games. No one ever cares because they’ll all appeal to some audience out there. You’re making some blanket statement that everyone who plays this will be automatically bored because they’ve played adventure games already. Even when your example is a different kind of game entirely. The comparison made no sense within the context of what you were trying to say. But okay.

Wait, so he left and rejoined recently? And only 2 years ago? I'm sure this project has been going on way longer than that, I guess we'll see if his very late addition made any significant positive impact on the final game

Reminds me a bit of how they brought back that one dude to Bioware very late to rescue the Anthem project, in the end he did all he could but Anthem was still a dud

MachineGames Knows They Can Do Indiana Jones Right, Because They Did Riddick & The Darkness Right - Gameranx​

Guess we all actually needed that reminder.

gameranx.com

“We knew this was super important challenge from the get-go. Luckily, this is not our first rodeo. Big parts of the team have worked together on story-driven first-person games all the way back to The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness. Also, I think the Wolfenstein series surprised the world by having a very interesting and relatable character with B.J. Blazkowicz, so we have had a lot of experience with this.”

Indeed, the first thing most gamers will remember when they hear the name MachineGames will be the last decade of Wolfenstein games. But as Andersson pointed out here, MachineGames’ very inception came about in the fallout of Starbreeze Studios’ 2011 reboot of Syndicate.

No less than Starbreeze founder Magnus Högdahl joined MachineGames, and with him came the team that made The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay and The Darkness video games. Starbreeze would go on to acquire Overkill and become best known for the Payday franchise. While these studios would each forge their own path, Wolfensteinfans know well that it was MachineGames that really inherited the staff with the video game storytelling and character development DNA.
