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
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.
Well, now I’m interested.
Edit: No motion controllers support. That’s disappointing.
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.
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.
You may still dislike it now, but I’d recommend giving it another chance. I replayed it last year and now it feels like a stripped down version of God Of War 4(and maybe Ragnarok too but I haven’t played). Valravn was rough for sure though, cant blame you getting frustrated. I remember stopping there the very first time I played, it took a break of a few months before I came back and finished the whole thing.
So they took a perfectly fine character model, with a look that fits the tone and setting of the game, with a realistic face… and somehow thinks it’s an improvement to make her look like she sells bathwater to losers to fund her MAC cosmetics addiction.
There’s nothing wrong with liking erotic content but there is something deeply wrong with forcing all content into what you find attractive.
Imagine being so pathetic you can’t handle a woman with a good battle cry.
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.
So … is someone ugly because of some dirt? Do people see only colours & not shapes?
Not to mention they are basically calling Melina Juergens ugly :D
If only they’d actually played the game. She’s basically going through hell, makeup and hygiene are the least of her worries.
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?
As do I. But I’m a woman so I can’t even imagine what loops of logic the type of men like we’re mocking will have to say about why that is
Awwww so triggered. Poor wee incel got his comment removed 🥺 literally 1984!
Go back to reddit shitface.
I can only imagine what this comment was, presumably some incel type shit, its nice to have moderators remove it promptly.
…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.
