    Learning to 3D model/sculpt

    You're not supposed to learn every part of the software, it's there "if you need it." The important thing, really, is just picking one software and sticking with it until you can achieve whatever your goals are. No matter what software you use, it's going to boil down to breaking complex shapes...

    Learning to 3D model/sculpt

    There's bforartists, a fork of Blender intended to provide a UI-centered workflow. New releases have feature parity with mainline Blender and most add-ons should work. I haven't used it but worth a shot if you couldn't get on with the donut tutorial. CAD is not the same as polygonal modeling so...

    Incidentally, this is an apt description of the core gameplay of any Bethesda Game Studios title.

    Forced updates ruining paid games

    This happens to free-to-play games all the time, look at Phantasy Star Online 2 or even CS:GO/2. No refunds btw.

    Still Wakes the Deep - narrative horror game from The Chinese Room set on an oil rig off the coast of Scotland - coming June 18th

    I watched the "gameplay" trailer now. Thankfully there's going to be a yellow line pointing me where to go in the one-way hallway, I'd hate to get lost.

    System Shock Wild Bastards - sequel to Void Bastards

    Gunplay looks ass, a true Bioshock successor.

    Incline Post-decline gems

    "Bought"? Games decline, in hindsight, seems to mirror downwards cultural trends in the West in general. Media by, and for, Harrison Bergeron lowest common denominator communists mandatorily reflect the mediocrity of their lesser ambition. It is corollary to this phenomenon that the best games...

    Still Wakes the Deep - narrative horror game from The Chinese Room set on an oil rig off the coast of Scotland - coming June 18th

    "N-dimensional creature of indescribable, obscene visage" equates to "I dunno, throw some tentacles on there, I guess," to the hack. Or the illiterate.

    Games overfocused on simulation (VO, cutscenes) have weakened gameplay

    You're right about cutscenes but you're using "simulation" incorrectly. A game should strive to simulate its subject manner as granularly as possible without sacrificing fun, or else youre left with board gamey trash mechanics that have no place in a video game. Compare Firaxis XCOM with ye olde...

    Ghostrunner 2 - cyberpunk parkour sequel

    Sometimes there's an alley or a vent with a useless collectable. Ghostrunner 1 was a fine 7/10 game, certainly better than nu-Shadow Warrior, certainly much worse than tru-Shadow Warrior. I expected iteration and "there's a motorcycle and more stupid diversity hires in your ear" wasn't what I...
