    I have no idea what this game is but the person on the left looks like someone who’s been in battle and is still in some sort of a battle and the person on the right looks like an influencer cosplaying the person on the left

      What I think is funny is the character they’re referring to isn’t unattractive. I’d wager she’s significantly more attractive than any of the guys commenting there.

      Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

      She is fighting some battles.

      I keep suggesting this game to people. The story is pretty short, mechanics straight forward and game play very linear. But it is a ride. Do not read about it; no reviews, no strategies. Put on some good surround sound headphones, turn out the lights, and let the game carry you away.
      One of the few games I’ve finished then immediately restarted.

        It’s also got a proper VR version. I know I’m speaking to an even smaller audience, but do not pass up the VR version if you are at all interested. The spatial sound in VR is even better. I can’t wait for the sequel, I hope they also do a VR version for it, but I’m not waiting, I’ll gladly play both if they do.

            I’m not sure what would really come of adding motion controller support to it. The game just wasn’t designed with that in mind. I can’t even think of what they could do with it, let alone it being worth the time, effort, and money to add.

        mechanics straight forward

        And yet this was the first game I rage-uninstalled in 20 years or so. I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn’t get past the first boss fight, which was Valravn for me. I’m probably missing something, but I absolutely hate its combat system.

        If you have the ability, and aren’t prone to motion sickness, try the VR! It’s excellently done and the head tracking fits so natively the immersion is disturbing.

          No outright jumpscares but the game is scary/tense during certain sections. One section happens in near complete darkness and playing that with headphones at 3AM is not the best idea.

                If I remember right, they took extra special care with the audio for this with regards to spatial audio. Without spoiling much there’s a lot of voices and whispers that they wanted to feel were coming from different directions so headphones really change the experience.

                For honestly not really loving the gameplay all that much, this game was so awesome and so memorable. I watched all the bts stuff afterwards and can’t wait for the next one. Really cool and unique game

                  Yeah, the sound was recorded spatially, with one of those surrogate heads with mics all over it. The voice actors moved all around the head when delivering their lines. It’s even better with VR spatial audio, I hope the sequel gets VR too.

      with a ton of that crowd, they really have no idea what strength is. but they so badly want to appear strong, as they assume that will make others around them think they actually are strong.

      it’s a sort of projection. they’re weak, so they worry that others will perceive them as weak. it locks them into a constant obsession with appearing strong, so people won’t realize how weak they are.

      the fallacy in all that is assuming that other people care, most don’t, as most are locked into their own various insecurities and are usually worried about how they appear to the world.

      real strength, and other qualities, isn’t worried about what others think. it’s like being cool. you’re not cool if you have to go around and tell others how cool you are. if you’re cool, others will recognize that pretty quickly. if you’re not cool, no amount of faking it will ever make others think you are.

        I was gonna say; isnt it basically a game about shit that should be ugly?

        Fuck, let’s go find+replace every not-completely-gorgeous dude in film with like four near identical impossibly good looking photo shopped models. Make the dean of A/C repair in ‘community’ just beautiful and jacked and expressionless because he just shot up ten gallons of botox.

        Also, what’s a fun ethnicity… The chad meme is a Turkish dude right? Let’s just make all guys in film Turkish or, since we need two… Japanese? Brazilian? Doesn’t matter, just pick two and no more white dudes. “Including” white people would be woke dei bullshit, let’s not compromise our standards just to include people, and why shouldn’t kratos be hot?

          You do know that the character is modeled off a 3D scan of the actress, right? And like they’ve literally taken her emotive mocapped performance and amalgamated it into a soulless “cutesy gf” because the former doesn’t make their dick hard. Then again, it’s my fault for expecting coomers to comprehend context and nuance…

              Most characters in games now are 3D scans of real people.

    how to not be ugly:

    1. don’t be exhausted

    2. don’t have any dirt on you

    3. always have photo studio lighting on you regardless of what environment you’re in

    4. look at the narcissistic viewer rather than your objective

      how not to be ugly:

      • smile, even when engaging in war, never stop smiling, it makes you look ugly otherwise.
      • take care of your skin, even when your leg is decrepit and necrotic. It makes you look ugly.
      • don’t get wet, it makes you look ugly.
      • shower regularly. It makes you look not ugly.
      • take care of your skin, you wouldn’t want to look ugly.
      • looking ugly makes you look ugly, just don’t look ugly.

      The artistry and ambiance are the excellent, and I’m enjoying watching the story unfold. Unfortunately, it’s less a “game” than a walking simulator. Combat isn’t difficult (and has zero stakes). Puzzles are visually dazzling, but braindead easy to solve. I don’t even really feel like I’m exploring, because you’re basically on rails.

      Excellent experience, interesting view into schizophrenia, absolutely beautiful… just not much in the way of interaction. Honestly, I’d enjoy it more as a movie (or mini-series, since it’s longer than a few hours if you let it breathe).

    …Senua’s story is not pretty. Senua’s journey through what she perceives as a land of evil, magic and ruin is not pretty. She is not an airbrushed model. She is meant to be a picture of a person. Someone battling what she believes to be true, horrifying monsters while striving in grief to achieve something to ease her pain. Screaming to deities to aid her.

    Calling her that is disgusting. Retouching her face to look ‘correct’ is both missing the point and spitting on art.

    So they took a perfectly fine character model that fits the tone and setting of the game and thinks it’s an improvement to make her look like she sells bathwater to losers to fund her MAC cosmetics addiction.
