I mean I suppose you can look at it that way. We can’t really prove one way or another what he actually wanted. But if we’re basing what he wanted on his actions, I don’t see how you can pin that one on him. Like he tried to get a public option, the president can’t just make universal healthcare. It needs to pass the house and Senate.

Idk about the others in your original comment and I won’t pretend to, but it’s pretty well documented that he would not have been able to get even a public option. How would he have been able to get universal healthcare if he couldn’t even do this?

I won’t pretend to be an expert on much of this, but I feel it’s wrong to say that he had the power to enact universal healthcare? Obama couldn’t even get a public option (which he wanted) because he had to make concessions to get a veto proof majority. I don’t see if this was the case that he had the power to enact full blown universal healthcare

Tbh the fact you even know a character’s name makes you an expert in my book. You know more than anyone I’ve ever talked to! 😅

It’s def not a great look but it’s also only 1 former dev. I’m not going to judge the whole team on the words of 1 person who isn’t working there anymore

I feel like short of making it free to play and having a complete art style rework this game doesn’t have great hopes of ever being relevant. I mean from what I’ve gathered the gameplay itself is decent to good. But yeah they just misfired so hard with this.

Despite it all, I feel bad for the majority of devs who spent so much of their life working on this and who are likely going to be out of a job. Of course I don’t know anything about the inner workings, but I’d be willing to bet it’s not most of their fault’s that sony had been pushing so hard for live service stuff under their former leadership

I mean that’s one way to look at it I suppose. However I don’t think the story being secondary to gameplay means we have to discount what is there available to us. Like if you want to ignore it that’s fine but I don’t think you can say it’s wholesale not canon.

Edit: also want to say I am not taking this link as gospel, but just showing how the words can be interpreted many ways.

Also the newest timeline is on display at the official Nintendo live event in Sydney, which I would argue is more legit than a licensed book

Regardless it’s not really that important, so if people like the timeline, who cares? Nintendo clearly acknowledges it, and the devs don’t use it when making new games. Both can be true

I keep trying to get into the games but never finish :/

I got very close to the end of p3p way back when that was a new game. I got past the second palace in p5r but fell off again. I feel like I get fomo in games where I try and do everything when I play a game but that’s just not really feasible in persona. Same reason baldurs gate intimidates me.

It’s a mental block I need to get over

Fair enough! It’s back up :)

Yeah we posted a similar story at basically the exact same time

Damn that timing! I just posted the same thing (article though). I’ll delete mine though.

Regarding the news though this is awesome!

Idk. Some apps have link previews which def makes it longer. You also have the option of not including review quotes which shortens it. I don’t think it’s too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Game looks like some chill fun if / when I end up in the mood for an open world game. Sounds like some technical issues need to get ironed out so seems like a good pick up on sale game for me

No problem! Glad you figured it out :)

I go to the open critic page and nab their reddit formatted review thread from the copy button under “share this game.” Then I click on the reddit export.

This formats it nicely for Lemmy as well and I just paste that in

Oh for sure I definitely agree there haha. As far as software is concerned I don’t like the epic store. Steam is much better on that front. But I also don’t have any true moral issue with the epic store. Especially for playing a game they funded. Epic also funded and published the Alan Wake remaster. They effectively were able to bring back a long dormant series, and for that I am happy since Alan Wake 2 ended up being one of my all time favorite games.

I wish they didn’t have to keep it in their store, since I like steam more, but at the end of the day I’m not too bothered by it

I find the game plays a lot better than the first one. I played the remaster recently and found it a bit of a slog to get through but absolutely adored the sequel

Control is on steam because it was published by 505 games.

Don’t get me wrong I’m anti epic buying exclusivity for games. But like if they fully funded the development and published it…

Alan Wake 2 was published by and likely would not exist without Epic. It is unlikely it will come to steam

Pronouns don’t necessarily = gender. Someone can identify as a woman. Be into other women, and still prefer he / him pronouns. It is a real thing

While I don’t personally agree with OP, I still believe that they are discussing in good faith. I see nothing here that says they think NB people are “alt right trolls”. Our rule here is to be(e) nice. Please don’t resort to unfounded personal attacks
