I always watch films and stuff related to any game I'm playing. Adds to the escapism for me. Even if its just genre or time period related.

Yep, though I wouldn’t bet on the Pro version being the best specially when it comes to PSSR.
Anyways it’s fun reading some salty posts after realizing it’s a great Indy game, those hoping for the worst might be eating crow by now

I don't like aesthetics, but it's a me problem. I don't even like the movies. Or Ford.
Otherwise sounds exactly like what GAF wanted, no? I remember people complaining that they want tough puzzles, no open world, etc.

There's a pretty big gulf between hoping for the worst and expecting the worst, and I think most people fall into the latter. It's not exactly like MS has had a stellar track record this generation of delivering anything worth a damn.

This game won't even run decently on my PC, but I was rooting for MachineGames to pull it off, since they're an earnest 'gamer's games' focused dev team. I'm happy they delivered and the quality is recognized, even with the fanboy and DEI bias.

With the game going out of its way to tell you that she is smarter and better than Nathan in every way.

The movies are worth watching no matter what even if you don’t play the games.
But watching the first at least seems recommended.

So..... raising your kids to be be better than yourself is no longer something we aspire to as a species ???? ......
Feels like a bit of a weird take to me.....

Best thing MS ever did was announce it for PlayStation right away to avoid most of the Xbox tax, even though it still suffered some of it.

Game got great reviews my man. It doesn't need this silly "Xbox tax" crutch

So, the game is woke or has wokeness? I haven't been following this thread or the development, as I expected the game to be shit.
Last movie had super girl boss telling Indy how old and terrible he is, so I expected terribleness.

Just let us have our feelings. We know in our green hearts that this game is a 90+ GotY. We're allowed just one.

What DEI bias?

Just played 3 hours of it, up to the point where you meet Antonio at the Vatican.
Possibly the most atmospheric game i have played n years, and is a must if you are a fan of the orig trilogy.
Also runs fantastic with literally zero stuttering. 1440p (DLSS on Quality as it looks better than native res imo), mix of high/ultra settings, locked 60fps on a 3700x/RTX 3070 PC, could even probably push 1620p res as gpu usage is in the 50-80% range. Fuck knows what was going on with those PC requirements but the game is reasonably light, even with RT always on.
Oh and if you have ocd like me and have to explore every little nook and cranny of every area, well there is a lot to explore, and a lot to find.

Ppl expecting this game to push DEI agenda, to the extent of Indy being gay in this game. I think it was mainly due to what this particular dev said (of which I'll admit that the mention 'modern audiences' is red flag to me as well) which made it's rounds on the internet:

So is there a noticeable Sweet Baby influence? Was it ever confirmed they were even involved in the game?

it's amusing to see some people say "let's punch Nazis" when they are acting like them.

yet people laugh at the concept of it.

The Nazis are portrayed as the"bad guys" and we're constantly told by the game they're evil, feels very forced politics to me.

GHG going to be in tatters when he sees the steam reviews if they stay very positive. let's wait until launch day or a few days after to see how it pans out.
Oh you want to do this again?

Its miles better than Robocop imo, and i quite liked that game.
Def a lot of exploring though if thats your thing.

Bruh….Indy is looking good but you VASTLY underestimate the pro if you don’t think it beats the other consoles so so easily. There is a lot of FUD about the pro but damnit, it’s just a ps5 with a way better gpu. Yall are drinking the cool aid if you think early pssr issues on like 2 games means that it’s not blowing the base ps5 away in all the other patched games and the troubled pssr games too. Had one since launch. Currently playing SH2. Legend.

I can see it surpassing robocop as a videogame, for sure. Robocop for me was a nostalgia bomb that actually worked. Me and my wife loved it!

I think I paid about 25 maybe a month ago. I can say I wouldn't have been so happy at $70. I think it released for $50, right?

IMO it is and i'm also a big Robocop fan too.
Just way more to see and do in this game.

I absolutely loved Robocop, so y'all saying this is better than that is just a big positive to me.

This is, pretty easily, the best looking game on Id Tech right now.
Fantastic work from Machine Games, even on Series S going by DF.
Big zones, flawless performance with RTGI. Metro has been dethroned as the go-to console RTGI 60fps example.
