Liberty Belle - Sings the song of the unchained

@lasty
It failed and their whole suicide prevention, most wanted to kill themselves after playing it.
Whoever wrote that trash had no idea what Silent Hill even is. Plus, The MC wasn’t the one bullied. She was a bitch they help get a chick to commit suicide and then felt bad about it, and now Silent Hill is some entity that pulls you into it.
The fuck is this shit?! It felt like some hipster PT rip-off.

I would argue it might be the usual comic book logic or that they don’t get invested in any other DC work like the first Suicide Squad movie but yeah. It still kinda sucked for those who never played or liked Borderlands.

A bunch of Xbox exclusives are rumored to be coming to Switch and PS5. There’s circumstantial evidence gleaned from datamining that supports this. Hi-Fi Rush is the only one on that list that I care about, but I’m very excited by the prospect of it going multi-platform.

Helldivers 2 is Steam’s new top seller. It’s passed up Spider-Man 2 and God of War: Ragnarok to become Sony’s new fastest selling release.

HELLDIVERS II is an amazing game, easily the best multiplayer only game of the last five years at least, the only live service game actually worth a squirt of piss since that cancerous concept was introduced into gaming and it’s a ton of fun purging the galaxy of xenos and bots in the name of Democracy, set against the backdrop of what Paul Verhoeven thinks STARSHIP TROOPERS is.
Now that I’ve said all that so you all know that yes, I am on board with current popular thing, can we please now all acknowledge that the launch has been a complete clusterfuck of one disaster after another?
Nevermind adding the Illumiantes as a faction back into the game, right now how about we just settle for servers in the next fuckin’ update? The ever dreaded “servers at full capacity” screen is so pervasive that it practically undid all the good will they tried to gather back with the Double XP Weekend-which for the record was in and of itself AN APOLOGY for a bug that prevented any progress rewards from being given out after the completion of missions btw-because no-one could log in and play.
For several hours today, even the damn “servers are at full capacity” screen was a luxury, for me and all my friends it would just be an endless black screen when we tried to start the game up, a problem that has been mentioned by others on both the steam and subreddit so I know it’s a systemic issue with the game itself.
Desynch and Disconnection issues are rampant, and it’s probably no thanks to the game’s rather infamous gameguard software nProtect. Currently the steam page has gone from an Overwhelmingly Positive rating to a Mixed rating and to be perfectly honest, I cannot blame people for having that reaction. It’s like we learned nothing from the Diablo III fiasco twelve bloody years ago.
I love playing this game so much, but the process in actually just getting it to work-heck just getting into the game is such a damn pain in the ass. I hope you don’t mainly have friends that live in vastly different timezones to you, that can only spare time to play with you at certain times of the day and those times match up with when the servers are overcrowded. Because if you do then this game becomes a very lonely experience damn quick…speaking from experience here. I want to like it but…not in it’s current state, not a chance.

Skull and Bones has a very negative reception from players nearly a week into wide release. It’s not on Steam, so the sales and player numbers aren’t visible, but Ubisoft is keeping them a secret, so they probably aren’t any good. The main thing the game has achieved is driving traffic back toward AC4, just like Suicide Squad did for the Arkham series.
Sea of Thieves is releasing on Playstation this year, and I wouldn’t be too surprised at this point if the bump it experiences from that is comparable to Skull and Bones’ entire launch.

Got all achievements in home safety network, I guess that was a game, wish there was more to it than the pre-determined path the devs make you go through. Interesting for streaming, but I guess that’s it.
Also tried to install The Movies (the lionhead game) on my thinkpad, and actors would wear void clothes during shoots, and the game would crash when trying to watch the result. I loved that game, but I guess it’s just screwed now. Yes, I’ve tried patches, and it doesn’t change the outcome.

It’s sad when something like this can be real after them retroactively censoring a 4 year old game, this is still possible. If it is, all the “She’s 15” deboonkers will have nothing to defend this with as she’s not here.
I do believe it is fake, but the fake it could be real is of note. At least I hope it is.

Only started the game, but i remember that picture showing up before the game was released and i think its just an edit making fun of the censorship in FF7 Remake.
In other news: An employee of Sweet Baby Inc. (shit consulting company that pushes “inclusivity and diversity” making games worse) tried to sent their goons to harass a Steam Curator Group dedicated to list games that they were involved with so users can avoid them.
Of course as its part of the course, the person privated their tweets as did some other employees and the company page itself also. This attempt to harass someone for pointing at their involvement skyrocketed the group size from 5k to 91k+ in a couple days becoming part of top list of curators on Steam. And its steadily growing.

@TrukkinDuck
Not sure what you exactly mean with other way round?
The employee @itskindred of Sweet Baby Inc got deservedly huge backlash on Twitter for trying to harass the creator of the curator group and privated her tweets in response.

Given how cucked steam mods are I’m half expecting the group to be deleted on some bullshit accusation.

They are proud of their work for sure even though lots of games they worked on are ass, they just don’t like that someone dares to make a list to avoid their masterpieces. The funniest thing of course is the initial call-out: “The harassment group…” because these kinda people are used to always get their way when they cry and claim victimhood.
@Anonymous #F9D1
Honestly… i seen plenty of based takes on steam not receiving any kind of punishment / deletion that on most other platforms would be instaban.
Two other employees of Sweet Baby spoke up, they have yet to protect their tweets but also getting a lot of people shitting on them:

This one supposedly is from the Gamer Gate days and DDOSed another website back in the days
gkr: https://twitter.com/gkr/status/1763986825171910872
This fucker has unironically still pinned a tweet where he is standing in front of a bunch of Suicide Squad games.

Really and truly, there is indeed a point in how dull-minded, boneheaded, and deluded AT LEAST half of the moderators are these days yeah its possible. However, There are hubs for different games, and depending on a number of things, those particular mods can turn out to be more cucked, deranged, or soylent than the Steam mods proper. Dunkey did not deserve to get banned from LOL for saying “mean, hateful, and toxic banter”, the mod who banned him was likely a fool, or emotionally unbalanced shithead who took out his or her life’s frustration on Dunkey.
