I thought Virginia and Last Stop were both pretty bad and boring but if the Chinese Room can improve from Dear Esther to Still Wakes the Deep maybe these devs can also release a good horror game.

No wonder Abandoned happened.

Meanwhile, my team is still waiting for approval to use Xbox services for a port, so that we can proceed to implement achievements…

I wonder how Nintendo work.

I really liked Dear Esther and adored Last Stop lol…

Mind you I’m getting old and boring now :stuck_out_tongue:

Lol Virginia was so my thing on paper and the art style is cool but then it turned out so boring I regretted even the little I paid for it. And yeah Still Wakes the Deep is awesome and more relevant now with The Thing Remastered I feel!

People didn’t just wonder, someone well known was lamenting his departure… while actual developers who worked under him rejoiced. I think I’ll take the opinion of the latter, because they actually know how things are.

What is Waze?

I followed that closely for a bit and it was absolutely insane. I saw people genuinely believing the Abandoned game was a thing. And sometimes it was convincing like linking the game to Death Stranding somehow or Silent Hill 2…

Thanks for reminding me that.

I just remember seeing folks over x dunking on Xbox. Not to compare, but Xbox could release a head leader due to serious charges and people will still say Xbox is going down under.

Google/Apple Maps alternative.

Technically Waze is also owned by Google too.

I much prefer Waze over any of the alternatives though.

I recently tried a free trial for TomTom and it was awful!

I might be the only one but I sort of wish that Halo Infinite did the exact same. The mode editor is so flexible that you could create stuff like this right now. It just needs a public facing playlist for people to widely play it.

its fine :smiley: everybody likes different things.

Games with not a lot of gameplay but an infuriating slow running speed just get under my skin sometimes. Thats why i’m such a big fan of Talos Principle. Yes this is a puzzle game but your running speed is like in Serious Sam (same dev and engine helps) :+1:

Oh yeah I can’t deny in Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture and Dear Estha I was mashing the run button in the desperate hope it was doing something lol
