Synth Potato 🥔

I put out my review of AC Shadows, Here is the short version for y'all on here:

Ubisoft Social Media guy has popped off and utterly cooked Elon & Grummz

Gigantic W for AC

Assassin’s Creed Shadows discourse on Twitter is genuinely reaching new heights of mental illness

Grifters have completely lost it with this one😭

Fuck WB Games, praying they sell off their gaming division before the rest of their amazing talent bites the bullet due to sheer incompetence and genuine lunacy level management.

Also praying someone sues them for patenting the nemesis system and the monolith folk find a new home.

No Ray Tracing, No fake frames, No shader stutter, No upscaling, No waiting for shaders to compile and runs perfectly well on any modern system

Why can’t more games be like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

Went from the biggest JRPG hater to having Persona 5 as my phone Lock Screen

no idea how this happened.

Studying aeronautical engineering is crazy because I struggle with a new subject and i feel stupid then i realize oh wait these ARE some of the highest levels of maths/physics possible so its okay to not get it at first 😭

I had a bot set up and it is acting weird, giving up on it lmao

Absolutely hated Deathloop ngl, Dishonored but worse in every way

The JRPG fans got furious at me and I decided to play some of those for once

Yeah but on twitter I get paid for just posting which has been such a HUGE help in my actual irl life, its not much like $130 every other week but it’s hugely useful

Mine is a fucking mess, love the lights man W

I honestly have barely played any new games this year and I feel like with the amount of people I pissed off by calling 2024 weak it’s now got me to finally stop slacking and actually play games even ones that I might not like, so I’ll be playing Metaphor, also finally on silent hill 2 rn

Is that a thing? Could you point me to it?

You got it right and hey whats up!

I'll be posting more chill off-topic stuff on here while still keeping more long threads on twitter, so hi bluesky!

Idk shit about league neither, jumped in blind and loved it

Arcane is an actual masterpiece of animation and I really can't believe how hard they nailed it with season 2.

I actually remember HATING season 1 because I was lied to and thought it was just a one season series so nothing being wrapped up was shocking, but S2 wrapped up so perfectly. Amazing work

hiiii

GTA San Andreas

2004 v 2024

VGD definitely managed to re-capture the original game’s atmosphere with the new update pretty faithfully

Twitter or Bluesky?

For more threads like this plus reviews, thoughts and more, be sure to follow me over here on Bluesky!

This is my first thread here, imported from over on Twitter but I am hoping that you guys over here appreciate it as well, thank you guys and if it does well, I'll be posting more!

10) Fly through clouds

One of classic GTA San Andreas's coolest features is that you could fly through clouds and that is now FINALLY back!

It works almost identically to how it did in the original game, the definitive edition of San Andreas genuinely looks good now.

9) You can now pause in cut scenes

A Tiny Quality of Life change, you can now pause during cut scenes in all three games of the Trilogy.

No more being forced to watch them or skipping!

8) Different weathers are actually different

in San Andreas, there are many different weathers outside of just rain/sunny from the original game and this was completely broken and everywhere looked the same.

This is fixed now and every area looks
representative of its OG look more faithfully!

7) Crouching is fixed

CJ's crouching stance was horrific pre-patch, he looked completely deformed.

this has now been fixed and he looks normal once again!

BEFORE VS AFTER

6) Parallax Interiors are GONE

One of the GTA DE's more interesting additions were 3D interiors that you could see from outside buildings, while great on paper (and actually in GTA 6) it was a mess here.

That's now gone in the new patch and its back to how they used to look in the OG games.

5) Characters are (mostly) FIXED

GTA DE had a massive issue of bodies being contorted in messed up ways especially CJ who looked like a goblin when riding a bicycle.

Character skeletons have been finally fixed. though the models themselves haven't been changed much and remain a bit ugly.

4) Combat Changes

You can now use shotguns and ARs while running around in GTA 3 and Vice City, this is a new mechanic that was not available in the original versions nor definitive editions yet a welcome QoL improvement.

3) Grove Street Games REMOVED

Original developers behind the remasters, Grove Street Games, have been completely removed from the studios list in the intro and main menu.

Seems like the era of Rockstar ever collaborating with them is at an end.
