XBOX stop killing yourself. The Game console market needs you. We don't want what happened to Sega to happen again.

Awesome game, beautiful trophy. Also, I had no idea you did voices for the game, which character? Such a fantastic game

Of course, the Ubisoft library undeniably adds to the value of the Gamepass. But does it warrant a 50 percent price increase? Perhaps not. Let's be real, even if they add value, people did not ask for this. In fact people only asked for what Microsoft was promising them already, day 1 releases.

That's true. But as long as those other IPs exist, I cling onto hope.

Eelis Welling ❎ @wellingeelis.bsky.social · 6d

Having been on Steam since 2013, my view is actually the opposite. What Steam used to be, not only in terms of the games Valve produced but the overall design of it, now its just plain and store is cluttered by adult games and memes turned indie slop. Just my perspective, I hear you, but I disagree.

Eelis Welling ❎ @wellingeelis.bsky.social · 6d

I kind of disagree with that. The brand identity is still there. The iconic xbox games will still be thought of as xbox games (Gears, Halo, Forza). Xbox is always green, PS is always blue. These subconscious understandings and connections persist in peoples minds.

The Harai Katashiro creatures in Silent Hill f really remind me of The Suffering’s Slayers.

Similar jerky movements, skinny looks, and even those metallic footsteps. Feels like a direct homage. Lovely stuff.

I gotta say, having played this game through multiple times, it has one of the most enchanting and underrated indie game soundtracks of all time. Go listen to it!

I don't even find the face uncanny, it's just a miserable smile. It's like a person who is at their lowest point in life, forced a smile on their face. Nothing happy about this expression. Just pain.

I'm in the same boat. I scrape by but the Game Pass brings me immense joy.
