The absolute gut-punch at the end of Jurassic Bark still kills me every time - the only silver-lining is that Bender’s Big Score gives Seymour the ending he always deserved

Ah, I see this is one of those little differences between KBin and Lemmy.

This is what I see…

So you guys see that first one as just the GIF and not that massive URL that we see.

Wouldn’t this have worked better?

Yeah. Kept thinking it was odd how many new plot threads were opening so close to the end of the movie… only to realise it wasn’t “the end” at all.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there. Dishonored 2 felt like it had to be made, rather than wanting to be made like the original.

Having said that, it is still a sequel worthy of it’s predecessor, which is better than can be said for a lot of sequels.

There are two games I would love to play for the first time again and those are Portal and Dishonored.

Portal is obvious - it’s a well-refined and immersive puzzle game with enough story and atmosphere to keep you invested, but never so much as to pull you away from its puzzles. It may only be a short game, but it is one of the best!
The only people I know who haven’t given this game the upmost praise are those who’ve never played it before.

Edit: Portal 2 is also a fantastic game, but it definitely leans on the story more. That is by no means a bad thing though, as we wouldn’t the absolute menace that is Cave Johnson without it.

As for Dishonored, the original is Arkane Studio’s best game IMO - the world it’s set in is so interesting and brimming with lore; the levels are well crafted, and reward the player’s creativity and exploration without ever feeling forced; The gameplay is challenging, but without ever feeling overwhelming. I’m sure it has it’s flaws, but all these years later, I still remember how much it got right.

Edit: Dishonored 2 was very much like it, and I remember it for all the same reasons, but the first is the one that really captured that lightning in a bottle for me.

I also loved Prey. It plays in a similar style without feeling too much like it’s predecessor. I can’t say I liked the Roguelike DLC very much though.

Edit 2 Electric-Boogaloo: I keep forgetting Dishonored uses the American spelling. I always remember it in the British spelling. Oops.

Considering the previous big Lemmy meme was not shitting for 3 days, I think I’ll take beans haha

Don’t know if it’s worth anything on Lemmy, but I gave you a boost in return for the chuckle
