Essentially L4D3. Anyone playing it? I've been hyped for this game since it's teaser announcement and it hasn't disappointed. The deck building concept is great and keeps every run fresh.

I am really anxious to get a new entry! :(
I miss the series as well, but if it’s going to get kicked around again like post SH4 entries.. I think it’s best to stay dead. Many other horror games have carried the torch since then so it would most likely struggle unless big names are tied to the next entry like Silent Hills was going to. That was the final nail in the coffin sadly.
 
I just looked it up and it's already happened, but Tomb Raider, on November 8, 2021 marks 25 years since the first release in 1996 in the USA.

Personally, I miss those old days back when games were fun to play, and even now in 2021, memorable. I first played the first Tomb Raider game at my, then, teenage cousin's house on his PS1 and we had a great time playing through the training level in Lara's mansion, to playing through the game levels. I didn't get this game until my 16th birthday in 1998, but I did get Tomb Raider II, along with Resident Evil Director's Cut on Christmas 1997.

Good music soundtrack, good graphics and fun gameplay in the earlier Tomb Raider games.

It's too bad that now at age 39, I don't take video games as seriously as I used to back in the 80's - 2010s, but I do like a fun pinball game.

I really enjoyed the reboot, especially the first game. The third is especially beautiful, if not a bit repetitive biome wise.

Solid video. During the pandemic I played some classic titles and Silent Hill 3 (PC) was one of them, what an absolute gem that somehow seems to age like fine wine no mate when played. These games at the very least deserve proper ports at some point.
 
I just find it hard to believe how good this trailer is:

Really enjoyed it!

People in Russia usually love the entire trilogy, so it was a big surprise for me when I found out that many of the Western audience do not like the second and third films.
it has to be the americans/british they always hate and whine about everything and they believe their opinions are the center of the universe.

The Trilogy is beloved everywhere else, the second one is my favorite.

I actually watch the latest movie, it was very different from the previous 3, it was very long, different, but somehow, I liked it, the Watchoski have their style of telling a story so I appreciate the different approach, the ending was sweet.

I got empathy for the writer when she said she wrote the movie to cope with the death of her parents and that made her bring back Neo and Trinity, and the movie is just that how they return, nothing more and nothing else.

Oh, yeah. I think while people were waiting for a new word in the language of cinema, what was the first film, or a new soft reboot, the film turned out to be an epilogue or afterword of Revolutions.

I remember building different theories before the premiere, but each of them was related to how the peace between people and machines was broken, so the world needed Neo to fix everything. Like the situation with Star Wars, when the 7th film deprived the 6th film of the climax status in order to delay the climax of the Skywalker storyline. I'm not a fan of this, but I've kind of come to terms with how The Matrix series can repeat this route.

And it turned out that the film broke that expectation. It turns out that the peace was not ruined, and the sacrifice of Neo and Trinity was not in vain. And the world doesn't need Neo anymore. Like some kind of messiah, I mean.

This is a rather lyrical film about how two people who were given a life by machines, which they supposedly could have deserved, do not have harmony in their being, so they are looking for this harmony throughout the film. This is a story about resurrection and love and nothing more than that.

And it's a pretty cool perspective to look at. Although I think the company will make another film, even if without Lana Wachowski, but I like the way she added a reference about it:

Exactly, what is even funnier is that the whole movie tells you the creators didn't want the series to be a cult, it just blew out of proportions, and at the end, they even said "normies" won't like this movie, and is hilarious how most people are not liking this one. The movie even hints that.

I have to say wow for Anne Carrie-Amos, she had a short role but all her scenes with Neo were so powerful, you could feel their love from old films being present there, ending as corny it is, it was heart warming for me.

Also, people thought the movie was woke or Trinity was gonna be another chosen one, but that wasn't the case, she gets powers but not because of the whole premise of being a chosen one and I'm fine with that.
