#XboxYearinReview2024
Excluding #1 since I technically haven’t played MLBTS24 for most of the year, but here’s a quick thread of my otherwise Top 15 most played games from 24’ since I don’t usually do the algorithm “favorite games lists”
(1/2 continued)

So the 2025 Postseason curse is officially hit a go ahead home run early and give up 8754 runs over the next three innings. Makes sense.

Specifically when Cohn was playing a preview of the game someone in chat said “what if his Malk insanity delusion is that he isn’t really a detective but he’s so gone he thinks he’s in a noir at all times” and yeah I would lose it if that’s cannon.

Like imagine if Johnny Silverhand was Cole Phelps from LA Noire, idk it works for me 😅

Fabien isn’t perfect for Malk players I’m sure but I’ve heard some pretty funny takes on how playing through his memories could fill that void. So I am hoping being psy-linked to a Malk who is dripping in noir really pays off.

It just needs to understand its own identity, the world building, the roleplay, the aesthetic is there hopefully it has enough length maybe a good 30-50 hours depending on side content that adds to it. And some alternate decisions to explore.

Yeah I didn’t have the means to play the original but I’ve checked out more than enough on it since and it isn’t like itself was considered a GOAT it mainly picked up recognition from modders fixing it. I’d like to believe this has a chance, Dead Island 2 escaped dev hell and was fun too.

More importantly the thing I think most people appreciated from the original and want in RPGs looks intact and well represented here where you can choose a path to roleplay and the game world is created to reward you reactively. It’ll be interesting to see if it does have branches to explore.

I’ve watched enough gameplay on the first I get the nostalgia but it definitely has some jank going on, it looks like exactly what I expect it to be and I’ll be happy with that expectation. The original issues I’ve had with some animations and gameplay in previews looks good now.

I am beyond sold on how reactive the world is to your choice of clan here, the way NPCs and kindred react to “who” you are in these trailers is exactly what I originally expected with life path choices in Cyberpunk.

Tuesday can’t get here soon enough.

DICE being pro AI the least shocking headline today

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

If your people don’t hype you up the way Schneider hyped up Toronto’s bullpen after winning the DS last night, they aren’t your people.

They did a ME cosmetic bundle for the last BF game I was really disappointed to see it on my feed because it came not long after the DATV layoffs, EA is futile.

Posted this unironically because it’ll be a few weeks from now when Battlefield revisits Mass Effect (and probably Dragon Age too) as cosmetics for the incoming release.

Get this out of our state please.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
