hardware manufacturers and software manufacturers hand in hand - making you buy more stuff you really don't need
For games that are mediocre at best
Remedy does make sick game though. Have you played the original AW or Control? Those games bop
Apparently yes. Back in January 2014 for 50 minutes according to Steam.
50 minutes is far from enough to write a piece like that off as "mediocre", my online friend. By 2014 standards it was technically impressive, the gameplay loop is fairly tight, and the game delivered a genuinely compelling story, twisting and changing the beloved "twin peaks" formula in a way, that is easily recognizable as a distinct "Remedy-way". As I was playing, figuring out themes, ideas and authorial intent was always clear and engaging. Maybe you just didn't like it - totally fine. You certainly do have a taste, I reckon, so some things are bound to fall out
