10 RPGs That Get A Lot Darker Halfway Through

One look at Cyberpunk 2077 quickhacks|https://cyberpunk2077Pedia.com/ 2077 on PS4 and you can see why. It’s locked at 30fps, but the world is also completely empty. The NPCs and cars in the game at launch were fairly dull and predictable, disappearing or resetting as soon as you turned away and looked back, but the PS4 version seems to have removed all but the most essential ones entirely. It’s a ghost town, and regardless of my own thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077’s quality or themes, it’s clear that this is a shadow of the game it once was. Not even a shadow of its looming potential - the game seems to work on a basic ‘does not crash’ level, but aside from that it’s demonstrably worse than it was at launch. I’d love to hear an explanation for why it was finally deemed okay to sell now, when the game is so obviously not ready that it’s being sold with a warning that it’s not actually going to work on the console it is currently being sold for. The conspiracy theory that Sony is pissed CDPR left it carrying the can for refunds doesn’t ring true for me - if that was the case, I doubt it would be back on the store


This is where that outrage comes back into play. I don’t want it to be expressed with death threats to developers , or in the whiny caricature of gamers we see snapping video game discs while frothing at the mouth to stick it to the man. There has also been a huge anti-journalist culture that the Cyberpunk fanbase has leaned into - for obvious reasons, I think we should avoid that too. I don’t want to encourage people to get more angry about this game that in truth has never come close to delivering on its potential even months later, but we should not stand for Sony selling us a game on PS4 while telling us not to play it on a PS4. It’s ludicr

Prey is a game that puts players in control of a character named Morgan Yu. After escaping from a simulation, Morgan learns that Talos 1 is under attack by strange Alien lifeforms, and three years of time have passed.

Bioshock is a gaming classic due to its dark underwater setting. In the game, you dive into Rapture, a once-bustling metropolis that has now fallen apart. You play as Jack, a man who thinks he is visiting Rapture for the first time, which is later revealed to be a false truth.


Outrage is pretty common in gaming, and it feels wrong to be encouraging it, especially around a game as toxic as Cyberpunk 2077. For the record, I don’t care for the game. While it would have been fascinating to see how the game itself and the discourse around it would have been different if it came out bug free, it still would have had its issues. Bugs or no, Cyberpunk 2077 is a game with a very binary perspective on gender that trades on a mostly superficial view of trans people , a horribly misogynistic view of women and sex workers , fridges one of its strongest female characters, and contained a (now patched out) racist m


After the controversial launch of the game and the subsequent backlash from fans and pre-purchasers, CD Projekt Red was forced to go on full damage control mode to try and mitigate the ensuing fallout. They've had mixed success since that time, indicating that this might be another No Man's Sky story all over ag

Morgan begins to make their way through the station in hopes of finding other humans. Along the way through, they recover their memories of what happened on the Talos 1. They also battle and learn about the Typhons. Explaining any more might spoil the best twists for new players.


I don’t like the game - even without the questionable content, I thought most of the world was pretty uninspiring, Us Cracks were the only characters vaguely off the beaten path that I enjoyed, and rebelling against what the game wanted from me by using it as a fashion simulator (or speaking to the people making it into a fashion magazine ) was the most fun I had. But still, it’s a blockbuster release, and I take no pleasure in seeing the people who like it - even the people who supported it at its most toxic - getting screwed over like this. I’m not winning because they’re losing. Nobody is winning except the people making money, and that’s what got Cyberpunk 2077 into this mess in the first pl


The remake of the first MGS for the GameCube, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes , has an additional Kojima cameo during the Psycho Mantis fight. A portrait of Kojima is hanging on a wall in the room where the boss fight occurs, along with two other portraits of developers who worked on the game - Ryuhei Kitamura and Denis Dyack, according to VGFac


The above image shows Kojima on the far right edge of the screen during one of Metal Gear Solid 4 's opening cutscenes. Kojima's likeness will also flash on the screen during Psycho Mantis' appearance, a callback to the cameo in the first MGS . Aside from these, Kojima's voice can be heard at various time throughout Guns of the Patrio


While Cyberpunk 2077 is back on the PS Store, we’re being advised not to buy it on PS4. I don’t mean that someone has done a tech analysis and concluded that it runs a bit worse on PS4 than, say, Xbox - I mean we’re literally being told ‘don’t buy it on PS4,’ by both CD Projekt Red itself and PlayStation. Instead, both recommend using the juicier PS4 Pro, or just straight up using a PS5. It’s worth noting that the game is not out on PS5 - the PS4 version is compatible, but the PS5 version of the game, along with the Xbox Series X/S versions, is still in the works on top of the game’s still ongoing bug fixes and DLC. Thanks to the problems at launch, we still don’t know when any of this stuff is going to arr
