Me talking about lis de again, but after the recent Deck Nine lay offs, it seems the series is kind of screwed, with some saying square have sent out surveys asking about reception to the game and also specifically questions about Deck Nine's involvement. So it seems Deck Nine is on really thin ice and frankly I'm expecting to hear them shutdown pretty soon. If Square decides they aren't going to work with Deck Nine anymore, then its over.
It was interesting reading the thought process behind some of the choices the narrative lead shared in their goodbye tweets, but it also kind of gives an insight of what they were thinking and to me makes it a bit clear how poorly thought out the narrative was.
Apparently they really wanted this game to involve Max being put in the same situation as the first game but purposely choose neither ending choices as a way to "overcome" her trauma or whatever. To me it really comes off as trying to force something to be a certain way instead of realizing what you want to do isn't working.
It goes against the first game's ending themes very purposely. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the execution is very important and this did not have good execution. Not even getting into how they did not understand the storm from the first game, the storm this time isn't even Max's, and it has no build up. It feels like they desperately wanted to get to this point but didn't care how or what it even meant. Max will overcome the storm that isn't even hers!!! Yeah!!! It's like if you wanted the ending to go there, maybe actually lean into it more throughout the entire game?
It would be interesting to hear a behind the scenes on this game. It still blows my mind there was leaks from 2 years ago specifically mentioning the ending was bad and it was. I'd just really like to know the thought process behind the game because I went in with super low expectations honestly expecting it to be pretty bad, but I'm still stuck thinking about how bad it was. Like even with how low my expectations were, I was not expecting the Marvel ending at all lmao
Played a little bit of Helldivers 2. I can definitely see the appeal of the game. The gameplay is pretty fun and seems like a really good time to play with friends.
Then I remembered, I don't have friends, at least none that play. If I ever get some, I'd definitely try again, but for now, I think I'll return it and keep the money for another day.

I haven't played Returnal yet but I heard good things only.
Ohh man, yeah, I really love Returnal. Very very good.
It's one of the other few PS5 games that fully showcase the console's power, the controllers' special features, and the SSD's speed at the best it can.
Also it has Jane Perry from Hitman as the main gal and I really like her.
And I plan to play Astro's Playroom once we hit the new year.
I retract what I said earlier this year about the PS5. Stupid how it took S… moreony 4 years to finally have an actual exclusive worth buying the console for. I haven't played Returnal yet but I heard good things only.
I'll let you know if I ever decide to pick it up again. Honestly, part of the other reason was an emergency came up and needed some extra cash. I saw an opportunity to get the money back from the game since I was still in Steam's return window, so I took it. But I'll probably get it again when I have some extra cash to spend and I'll let you know when that happens
Am friend.
Am willing to play. 👉👈🥹
(Nah but I get it, you probably want a whole squad, and if it's not really your thing solo/with randoms, fair fair.)

Happy New Year everyone! May this forum escape death for another year 🥳
Same goes for telltale😂

I had the same problem just didn't have friends to play with. Unfortunately I logged too many hours playing on my own and couldn't return it
Hope you're all having a great 2025! Can't believe this website is still here tbh.
Tango Gameworks has officially been rebranded as Tango Gameworks Inc!
And I've just realised they released a Nendoroid of 808 so I'm definitely getting that!
