story is basically uncharted 1 levels of cliche.

environments aren't as interesting as rise of or the first one

same with puzzles/tombs

gunplay is pretty bad

lara looks worse

Not only is the gunplay bad there is barely any shooting in the game in the first place weirdly. It's just such a slog.

Television Romance has been like my obsession for the past three months. I just can't escape it, it's such a perfect song to me. And everything about the video is just as aesthetically pleasing to me too.

FFDragon posted...
As opposed to Shonen Knife, I can get down with this. When I can't understand the language, the lyrics just become a mouth instrument. And that works here.

If you look up the English translation, it has a Ring (the horror movie) reference which I of course love lol. I learned to sing along with the song in Japanese too, and apparently I do a good job because I've received compliments on it.

I loved it. It's one of the best stories in gaming, almost unrivaled in presentation, direction, composition, voice acting/dialogue, characters, animation, and detail. The gameplay is tense & scary when it needs to be (including one of the scariest & disgusting sections in a horror game ever - The Rat King), fluid and hard-hitting, with satisfying stealth and multi-tiered level design allowing for multiple ways to approach a situation. The ending doesn't bother me much anymore, though it did at the time. They definitely knew what they were doing with it and I just have to respect that ultimately.

Yeah, awesome top-notch atmosphere and one of the best soundtracks ever, but the gameplay was ultimately pretty boring sadly (although it was so nice to play a mainstream game with semi-fixed camera again), and I second the ending was bad, even though overall the story concept was deep and interesting. Probably the worst Bloober team horror game overall, but I'd still say it's worth a play for the positives.

I came in wondering how you could make a tv show out of Twisted Metal

Then learned someone actually is?

It's perfect for an anthology series. Using Black as an inspiration, you basically have a bunch of short and incredibly dark horror stories as your base with a ton of opportunities for story intersections between plots. Utilize Calypso as a sort of Crypt-Keeper/Rod Serling esque-figure which can help lean into the dark humor of the earlier entries; and I think you can set up the car combat as either a battle royale race or a Purge-like scenario where a whole city is blocked off to be used as a prison allowing for contestants' to run rampant for a chance at their wish being granted. That is your base for the over-arching narrative.

This album is at time more akin to listening to an audio drama than a musical album. To me, this is the peak of concept album storytelling, and to not listen to it in the order intended is downright detrimental to the listening experience. The Wall proved progressive rock can be fun and accessible to the average listener while still providing a deep experience of complex instrumentality and passionate, meaningful lyrics with catchy hooks. The Wall flows so seamlessly from one track to the next that the feature length run-time feels like a drop in the bucket as you become immersed in a dystopian, epic world of terrible teachers, the sins of parents, wartime tragedies, and ultimately, self-doubt and extreme separation and isolation from everyone and everything in the world as you become a shell of your former shelf, beaten down by the world's cruel tendencies. It's a lot to take in, but the intense autobiographical nature gives it a whole layer of relatability to many listeners, and Pink Floyd lulls you into security, grooving between hard rock riffs and even some more popular genres at the same like disco & funk while often pulling the rug out on the listener with screamed vocals and jarring musical transitions that make you constantly pay attention to every note being played and every line being sung.

A personal highlight for me is found in the hypnotic chants of "run" in Run Like Hell accompanying two short but sweet verses that say more about humanity than most 500-page epics, at once a twisted teenage love song and a rally cry to submit to fascist control and totalitarian dictatorship. And my limited understanding of music theory can't even begin to approach the amazing riff and complex guitar work that permeates the entire song, with outstanding production across the board. The whole "Brick in the Wall" saga is a timeless classic, and I can't imagine not at least listening to The Happiest Days of Our Lives before Part 2; it's one of the best song pairings of all time, as it builds up a steady funk while having some of best lyrics in the album, a total disparaging of every teacher who ever got you in trouble or yelled at you in class while offering a brief glimpse into what their lives are like at home too. Like this and so many songs on the album, there's always a sense of horror and the uncanny behind everything we think is normal and just in our society, always a twist of the status quo lying just beyond the horizons of our eyesight. The screaming transition into Part 2 is as bone-chilling as the shift from Parabol to Parabola in Tool's Lateralus. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 is maybe the most famous to come from this album, which I know is a bold statement with Comfortably Numb sitting right there, but tell me what kid, teen, or adult in the world can't get behind a song both thrashing institutionalized education and losing your personal identity as you're battered processed like cattle in a meat processing factory.

This album is obviously incredible. Sure, I could see some people finding the short interludes pretentious and pointless, but personally I find every song on this album immersive and atmospheric, while having its moments of pure rock fun that you don't necessarily have to worry about The Wall being too dark of a listen to just pull out and play. Pink Floyd always uses their trademark sense of humor to belay getting too bogged down in self-seriousness, and I think that does wonders for the album, putting attention on the music while still getting the gravitas of the words across in a way that's not over-bearing or ironically, not hammering you over the head with obvious and repetitive theming. It's an album I think everyone should listen to at least point in their lives, and it's album you will better for for doing so.
