Still doing the Final Draft on Alan Wake 2 but might switch back to a replay of Spider-Man 2.

All 3 of the current series. Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Spider-Man 2. The first one was released in 2019, I think.

@Katana314 Pretty sure that’s Saga Anderson from the FBI. The co-protagonist.

@echoplex21 I love the DLC, they are just crazy nightmare mode.

Scratch is from the end of the original game, but I did hear that Sam Lake confirmed in a tweet that American Nightmare is canon.

I am so excited for Alan Wake 2. When I’m done with it, I will be playing Spider-man 2 but the big one for me here is Wake.

Everyone who called Firefish stupid needs to come see this and reconsider.

I’ve never heard a bad thing about it. I’m stillplaying through, it’s remarkable. I’m having a little trouble with the map, though.

I second the suggestion of Control.

Silent Hill: The Room is just as good as the first 3 games.

Why the scare quote around fun? He’s right. There is no point in adding something to a game that doesn’t make it more fun.

Alan Wake is pretty interesting from a female perspective, because it’s a male hero but it’s good a pretty good female supporting character in the Sheriff and the plot with Alice is really interesting in light of the idea of fridging. Also, the sequel will have a second playable protagonist that’s a woman.

Maybe try a different genre, or even a different format. Instead of multiplayer fighting games, try a social deduction game.

I’m not sure if Stray counts as Cyberpunk, but it has most of the trappings and is a great game. A bit short. It’s kind of like the futuristic part of Cyberpunk taken beyond the extinction of the humans.

You play a cat that has accidentally fallen into a walled city that’s full of human-like robots and uncover what happened to the humans as you try to get out.

Seconding Control. One of my favorites.

These things scare the hell out of me still.

It would be nice if language worked like that, where the term remains precise as it propagates. But that’s not the case. Boomer Shooter is being used to refer to the old games, and that is how many of us were introduced to the term, as a reference to the OG games.

Did you tell this to the kids who coined the term?

I think maybe the irksome thing is this is a retroactive label for older games. It’s not how we got to know those games, and it sounds pretty dismissive of something we enjoyed and loved. smart_boy below has the right idea, reclaim the term, realign the meaning.

You have redeemed the term.
