This is a treasue trove, thanks! Looking forward to anything else you will be posting. The retros were always a great read.

Most likely on the de-aging. Tom Cruise in the new MI movie is also suspicious.

Well, it wasn't a bad thing in the past, these days it is at least a red flag I would say.

Yes, secluded like a cabin in the woods that is a location that has been used all the time previously. Trying for something different is not a bad idea, even if in this case it is a stretch.

So it was all a woman's fault in the end!

Renfield, you mean? It's on my list, but thanks nonetheless.

In all fairness no girl / woman would have crawled down that hole, so it had to be him. But the movie was female-heavy, so probably not recommended for TheImp.

Agree on it not going for the fun angle, which contributed to my feeling of it being disjointed from the previous movies and the series. It did feel more Evil Dead-like as time went by, for me, at least.

As for convenience, yes, it had quite a lot of them, but that did not bother me with a movie like this. Especially with the location, it needed to be a secluded one.

To each their own, I guess.

There isn't much in terms of hand holding, that is for sure. If you want an easier first go at it, whilst still having a chance at experiencing all the game has to offer, I would go with the following custom difficulty settings (tweak these in the Settings or similar named menu BEFORE starting a new game):

Hunger speed: 50%

50%

100%

50%

150%

50%

50%

100%

Food value: 200%

50%

50%

150%

150%

Damage received: 50%

100%

I left in three of the names so that you can make sure you got them right.

As for what and how to do things, always check your map for icons of interest and if you have any, go there and check it out (also, talk to people, and actually read what they say, loot trash bins and trash cans, trade with kids, and so on). There are guides out there (reddit, gamefaqs) for details on the survival aspects as well as on what to do and on which day. If you do not mind checking some out that will definitely help. If you don't like using guides, here is a quick list of hints on what you can do on day 1 (if you pick up any quests do them as soon as you can of course):

Your dad's house; Soul-and-a-Half Fortress; Bad Grief; Shelter / Lara Ravel; Ferrymen for fast travel; Fat / Big Vlad around 8 pm; Broken Heart Pub (twyrine can give you more icons on the map, but check the description to see if it is worth consuming at the given moment); the "bizarre creature" if you have the icon for it; when you get the message that the day is over (midnight) go to the Theatre and watch the performance (new one every midnight); Dead Item Shop.

This should get you going.

Difficult to say without knowing what it is lacking for you.

I generally like games where you have to manage hunger / thirst / sleep, and so on. I also quite like the world / lore / atmosphere. Your inventory is way too small for a hoarder, like me, but you can expand it several times. The constantly ticking away time might also turn someone off.

Also, under no circumstances should you play the hardest difficulty for your first playthrough.

Still playing Underrail, as that game is massive, especially with the DLC that is absolutely worth getting. 150+ hours already, and there is still quite a lot to do. Reminds me a lot of Fallout 1 & 2.

Also started Pathologic 2 recently. Great game, but it is definitely kicking my ass on the hardest difficulty. Very unusual survival game, not sure if I would recommend it, as it will widely vary how much people will like it.

Felt the same way, but it does not feel that long at all. If this is the only thing keeping you from watching it, go and watch it.

They are made of Vibranium, that is why there is zero kinetic impact from bullets or falling from great heights.

You have described my feelings to a T, down to him going after the high table.
