If the chip shortage stays like it is, PC gaming is going to be dead soon anyway.
Whats going on with Outriders? I remember seeing the game before it launched but it dropped off my radar near launch.
Speaking of Balan Wonderland, I'm morbidly curious as to what exactly went wrong with it, since all I can find based on our page for it is "its slow" and "it uses one action for every button like a Genesis or NES game".
Shamelessly plugging my comics, Oh yes.
And? And? And? And? AND?

It better fucking not.
Well, Some Call Me Johnny just put a vid up and one criticism is that Balan himself isn't playable.

I'm quite confident in my shitposting you know
Don't want to leave but cannot pretend
Don’t worry, it won’t.
"Chip shortage" Pardun?
Shamelessly plugging my comics, Oh yes.
Balan Wonderland makes me sad as it reminded me tonally of Nights but I guess the gameplay was nowhere near as good as Nights.
And? And? And? And? AND?
Semiconductors and shit. Fromw hat I understand people stealing up graphics cards to farm..(huge fucking sigh) bitcoins. Fucking digital monopoly money.
Nights was playable wasn't he?

the GPU market has gotten pretty garbage since the pandemic started, yes. I'm glad I built my rig before it got too bad.
I mainly use laptops, so I haven't been affected, thankfully.
Shamelessly plugging my comics, Oh yes.
The Unknown
That is ridiculously hyperbolic.
The shortage will end eventually. These things boil down to supply chain issues, which will get resolved once the pandemic is over.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
Well, here's
a youtube vid by videogamedunkey going over the low-lights of his let's play. Basically, the game controls badly, appears to lift concepts and even music straight from Mario Odyssey (badly), all the power-ups are dumb and painfully limited in function, the reward for exploration is having to play a bad and overly-long QTE sequence.
Honestly, the much more interesting question is why it went wrong. Personally, I got money on office politics.
Google "big ears"
I came to point out it's Balan Wonderworld. Check here in Balan Wonderworld
No one gets the name right

more Balan blunderworld!
New theme music also a box
...Holy shit, how is this even real?
Shamelessly plugging my comics, Oh yes.
Lost in Space
Ask how Hunt Down the Freeman went so wrong...
Of course this is Square Enix we're talking about, not some overly ambitious indie devs, but Squeenix has a history of putting out sheer woofers. Remember Left Alive?

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Yeah but at least Left Alive actually functioned...to a degree.
Shamelessly plugging my comics, Oh yes.
Disasturbator
I don't even recall Left Alive,I assume without context its a Left for dead clone
New theme music also a box
Lost in Space
No, it's more of a survival game set in a phony war-torn Eastern European country where you scrounge for food and ammo while trying not to be shot dead by soldiers from either side. The AI is apparently awful.

And? And? And? And? AND?
Its also a game in the Front Mission universe?

The Head of the Hydra
Its a spin-off yes.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
I had never even heard of it until Matt McMuscles did a video on it:
Industrious Incisors
Though not everything about the development cycle is known, from what is known that isn't too far off the mark. Naka outsourced much of the project to Arzest, of all companies. Arzest is pretty infamous for things like Yoshi's New Island. As for why them of all companies, it seems to be solely because they're headed by his personal friend Naoto Oshima.
SoundCloud
Yeah, gotta keep that in mind. Even if I can get in (not that I want to) on my rig, that still leaves out consoles anyway.
