Why does every NPC in Soulsborne games talk like there's a baby sleeping in the room?

Just saw Van Helsing (2004) again, the other day. One of my favorite movies. Really wish there was a game like it out on the market. Something where you could hunt down and shoot werewolves and vampires. Closest we ever truly got was Order 1886, and they pretty much killed off that IP before it got a chance to show any real potential. Other than that the only thing I can think of is Blood West, and a couple of PvPvE titles like Hunt.

Sometimes I forget how big Saber Interactive is. They have so many games in production and on the way right now.

When I think about it, thats probably why they took on the Turok IP because they already have, and are making the models and assets for Jurassic Park: Survival, might as well get some more use out of them.

Black myth wukong has exceeded all my expectations. Phenomenal game.

Power wash simulator is so fun and deeper than I thought. Phenomenal game.

Apparently this subreddit loves Denuvo so I’m wondering what benefit Denuvo has for the paying customer? Imagine protecting dem company who limits how many times you can download a game you bought or does random online checks! Can’t play your single player games offline lmfao

The benefit of Denuvo over other DRM-adjacent products is that it costs the company a monthly fee, so they're incentivized to remove it at some point.
