    From Chris laughing at the hanged elephant to being okay with eating dog, now Matty and Lock agreeing that a robot would get a parachute over an animal, I’m now officially concerned over the LSM crew’s respect for animal life in general. You’re all heathens, all scoundrels.
    Edit: Lock has just offered to sacrifice himself to keep all 3 safe. Respect for Lock. Brad is having the robot go down. Some repair has been done, hahahaha

    One thing for me that is a negative but a HUGE positive about Silent Hill 2 is, there’s nothing peaceful about this game. In Resident Evil, you will have dark areas, but thats only until you hit your safe room or generator and you get that sense of peace. Any time you have comfort, it is quickly stripped away from you in Silent Hill 2. That is why it is the PERFECT game for me, but at the same time its so dreadful to play. It is similar to Alan Wake 2 where the only happy parts are short encounters with the weirdest people.

    For october, I'm actually playing a unique horror game. It's called The Last Door, by the developers who went on to do the two Blasphemous games. It's a point-and-click style game, that looks somewhat similar to the old Sierra and LucasArts games. But it truly is a psychological horror experience. With really creepy music, jump-scares, and impressive lighting that really catches your eye. Highly recommended

    As someone who played the original Silent Hill 2 when it first came out (yes I’m old) I really dont understand the fans who are upset about the remake. I just beat the remake a few days ago and thought it was one of the best horror games I’ve ever played. I think they absolutely nailed it.
    The one criticism I kind of get is there are little things in the original that played to the games themes better. So for instance in the remake they changed a scene with Pyramidhead (the camera angle) to make it less sexual. But that is literally the point of the character.
    I get the “modern audience” trend wants to tiptoe around uncomfortable topics. But the game is supposed to be uncomfortable. And James having conflicting aspects of himself that touch on dark subjects is why he’s one of the more complex characters in gaming.
    But in every other metric the Remake is better. Like i genuinely don’t understand people saying they prefer the original character models / voice acting over the remake.
    I actually think the actor who portrayed James in Silent Hill 2 Remake should win an award. Kudos to the games animation/graphics as well which captured every nuance of the characters emotions.
    I could literally feel James guilt and shame during certain cutscenes. The new model and animations were so damn good. Even got choked up at the end (I got the water ending) because of James’ performance on screen.
    The remake was never going to 1:1 match the original. But I truly feel like they nailed the core themes of the game and delivered one of the best horror games in decades.
    Just my 2 cents. But it’s just wild to see my fellow Silent Hill 2 fans hating on the remake. I don’t know if they are in the minority. But I keep seeing people refusing to play the remake because it supposedly got many things wrong. To each their own!

    Thanks for reading my sort it out! Twitter is definitely a bad place to have meaningful discussions, but I wish it didn’t have to be that way since Twitter can be fun. Reddit can be good depending on the community, but some communities can be huge echo chambers and sometimes discussions can be very predictable. TH-cam comments can also be very hit and miss just like Twitter. I am in discord servers that can be great for discussions so that’s probably the best option available.

    Always glad to hear someone clicked with The Outer Worlds, especially if it's someone that originally bounced off of it. To this day the level of disregard people have for that game makes no sense to me, it is by no means a perfect game but it has so much heart and largely fulfills a niche that is generally underserved in the gaming space. The only thing that makes sense in my head is that people went in with very specific expectations of what they were getting into and weren't able to truly engage with it for what it was. Very much a victim of its own marketing.

    Lock nailed his Sort it Out regarding the Dragon Age marketing plan. I’m so sick of the “cutesy” marketing for games as if every game is being revealed in a Nintendo Direct or something (nothing wrong with that for some games). You look back at the Dragon Age Origins trailer with the Marilyn Manson song (who is a piece of shit btw) but at least they leaned into the dark grim fantasy vibe and it was COOL. I’m excited to play Veilguard but that first reveal trailer that was some Fortnite/Borderlands cutesy bullshit was so bad and I feel like all of the marketing has been that way and so many games do it. They really should have marketed this game with a much more serious tone. Veilguard is also a shitty title and they should have stuck with Dreadwolf because whether it means anything or not at least it sounds METAL.

    • @chris9206
      @chris9206 หลายเดือนก่อน

      you do realize that marketing for Veilguard was based around the DnD: Among Theives movie, right? not saying the trailer was great but the market for Dragon Age are Bioware and DnD fans. at the same time tge Marilyn Manson music for Origins didn't make sense just like if it popped up in a Witcher game.

    • @creese16
      @creese16 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@chris9206 I can see the similarity and I love the Dungeons & Dragons film, but Dragon Age has never really been like a fun action comedy game. The stories and games have always been pretty serious so I just think there’s a major disconnect between that and the marketing for this game. Maybe this one will be a lot lighter in tone and the trailers reflect that, I don’t know. The second trailer was better for sure, but I still think the quippy dialogue just doesn’t work for me at least in the trailers. Look at Baldur’s Gate 3, that game is very funny at times and I’m sure it will have better humor than Dragon Age will, but those trailers were all very serious in tone. Compare the BG3 announcement trailer to the Veilguard one and it’s night and day. Believe me I’m excited for the game and going to play the hell out of it, I just personally think the marketing has been really terrible 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Why matters? Why would trailers and marketing have impact on your enjoyment? When the game comes within 24 hours there will be dozens of review, thousands of user review, and lots of full playthroughs. Marketing will be irrelevant.

    • @creese16
      @creese16 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@hododod246 Marketing is not irrelevant. There are thousands of people who have already made up their minds about a game once it is first revealed. Look at Concord’s reveal. They chose to reveal the game with a cinematic trailer scene that told you nothing about what the game actually is and quippy Whedon-esque dialogue that plenty of people are tired of. Obviously we now know the game had many other issues behind the scenes and at face value, but everyone made up their minds about the game with that first true reveal (not counting the logo reveal a year prior). A game like Grand Theft Auto, sure, marketing is irrelevant. But not for a new IP or in the case of Dragon Age, an IP AND a studio that many don’t have much faith in anymore.

    • @chris9206
      @chris9206 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@creese16 for the most part marketing is irrelevant. we know there isn't that much marketing for CoD to be bought year after year similar to what you mentioned about GTA too a degree. at the same time GTA is a different animal because the initial trailer does matter even though the grifters try to say GTA6 is somehow "woke".
      Concord is a poor example. The initial tease essentially was going to be "hated" because of the bad designs. At the same time there's a hypocrisy on that because primarily it was a game that wasn't complained about non-gamers, which these non-gamers never spoke up about the dead Foamstars and somewhat okay First Descendant. The Gaming Industry is suffering from this just like every other medium as in people complaining about a need for new IP yet nobody really wants to back them similar to the Indie scence.

    I'm glad you guys mentioned the easy difficulty of Diablo IV. I thought it was funny that dude said people go to Diablo for "the gameplay." Click on thing you want to die. If you have decent gear, you win! People play Diablo to zone out and listen to a podcast, in my experience. I was going to give IV a shot, but I didn't die once in twenty hours of III, so I think I'll just avoid the series.
    And Matty...I can't imagine what it must be like to be a guy who came around on Fallout after 4. That's....really, really unfortunate. That's where I dropped off, lol. It's just an aesthetic now. That's probably enough for a lot of people.
    I'm not sure I'd tell Atlus to "keep it up." Metaphor is dope, but I'll just wait a year to 18 months until the real game releases. I wish they would stop that.
    Glad to hear The Outer Worlds love. I'm playing through it right now. It's not perfect but it is very, very close. Most of my complaints are nitpicks.

The studios are Bend (unknown adventure game), Bluepoint (unknown original game), Naughty Dog (please just release something new for god sakes), and Santa Monica (as long as its not God of War) With Sony taking so damn long to make games now, that's all I can really hope for. 21 studios, and the best PS5 game they have so far is a PS3 remake.
