Depends on difficulty settings. As long as it isn't hardcore mode, less scared as I can just respawn when I die.

Technology is certainly improving and in many technical aspects, modern games are much more advanced than older ones (e.g. raytracing). Some aspects of graphical detail aren't really dependent on technology though, but on effort and skill. RDR2 is a great example of that, as the devs really went out of their way to add incredible detail to every part of the world and especially the animations. It must have been very time-consuming and prohibitively expensive to realize that level of detail. Even back then most devs didn't go through that kind of effort and now, with so many development studios getting closed or shrinking, most will take a much more economical approach to graphics. There are still some incredible examples of advanced graphics from recent years though, like Alan Wake 2.

As other people said, it's novelty. Being near-sighted, I get that effect in real-life when I get new glasses. Everything looks incredibly detailed and amazing for a couple days until I get used to it.

TBH, I feel like the Marvel hype has mostly died off at this point. A few years ago, pop culture was all about it and you couldn't avoid hearing about every new movie coming out. Now, I couldn't even tell you what the current Marvel movies are and nobody I know is talking about them. The biggest super hero franchise now seems to be "The Boys", which is pretty much a deconstruction of the whole idea of superheroes.

No artist exists, it's AI generated.

I've spent a total of $5 on the game and FWIW, I think I got my money's worth. The game's development is severely mismanaged and I don't think it'll ever realize its vision, but I think it's worth checking it out even if it's just for looking at some of its technological achievements.

You get ten ships to fly for the free fly event.

So, who's the third party candidate that you think will defeat Trump?

That goes for both sides. If that agency leads you to provoke a crime and beat someone up for content, that's pretty fucked up.

I hope they'll improve the management side of things. Planet Coaster has great building tools, but without good economy and progression systems, I quickly lost interest in my parks.

Opportunity makes the thief. These people are intentionally trying to get people to commit a crime that might have never otherwise have happened, just so they can beat someone up and/or create content for their channels. That is morally wrong.

It’s the same as seeing a person rob an elderly person in the street, and kicking the shit out of them.

Not really, because it's not a random occurrence, but one they're actively trying to bait. It's more like dressing someone up as an elderly person with a clearly visible full wallet and having them walk laps through a dangerous neighborhood until someone tried to rob them.
