Xcom Enemy Within was hella fun, I spent a solid two weeks having a blast with it

full pivot
and the moments the gameplay causes on its own
bronze wind
Not even the narrative, just the military sci fi style stuff
visual snow
Xcom is my fav type of strategy games honestly
full pivot
last man standing against wave after wave of enemy robots until the elevator charged again to escape
so stressful in the best way xD
cinder vessel
I think that didn't put me off as much because it played neatly into the shadow ops edge of conspiracy stuff in 1
and 2 is flat out rebel against totalitarian jerks so that's definitely up my alley
austere lance
Enemy Within was 😍
idle saffron
Indeed
visual snow
Bubsy is the best game
idle saffron
Gex
full pivot
also i'm not as interested in narrative in games unless its specifically what im playing the game for; if that makes sense
like i expect good narrative in Mass Effect, but not in something like Dark Souls
cinder vessel
Rascal is the best game dont @ me
idle saffron
It does
gaunt hare
Enemy within had a great opening
full pivot
to me the story evolves in XCOM2 by what happens in each mission; like how you get someone captured by the enemy and then have to go rescue them later
meager panther
Is xcom 2 a rpg?
full pivot
if you don't rescue them, the consequences are there
gaunt hare
I enjoy a good narrative in a video game but I just can't get emotionally attached to video game stories
cinder vessel
lol
austere lance
@meager panther Turn-based strategy games
cinder vessel
I know we've talked about this before but it never fails to make me laugh a bit
gaunt hare
What does
full pivot
the campaign is def based on a 'slow bleed' that was introduced in the Long War mod for XCOM: Enemy Within
cinder vessel
Somehow not being able to get emotionally invested in a video game story
gaunt hare
Yup
cinder vessel
Like I can understand some video game stories
gaunt hare
Totally dead inside
bronze wind
bread inside
cinder vessel
because they're just...Not really great or seemingly aiming at that, buut
meager panther
I don't emotionally invested in any game.i just like to go pew pew on enemies in the games
full pivot
ik there was a game i cried to recently but im trying to remember which
bronze wind
story is one thing they seem to have improved on with sekiro, in terms of fromsoft games
full pivot
it mighta been Hellblade tbh
idle saffron
Life is Strange made me relate to a teenage girl - didn't think that was possible, I loved it
bronze wind
Like it's not all hidden in random items
gaunt hare
Weirdly enough I do get emotionally invested in video games
idle saffron
Hellblade was amazing to me
visual snow
The walking dead season 1 is pretty emotional
cinder vessel
Déraciné has a decent if simple story
gaunt hare
just not by narrative or their stories
austere lance
I get invested in game stories
bronze wind
I get invested in stonks
meager panther
Ee
idle saffron
We know
meager panther
Hehe
gaunt hare
I'm invested in donks
visual snow
Dongs
full pivot
well i can understand both love for narrative and love for gameplay because i experience both in different games haha
meager panther
What's a stonk
cinder vessel
Walking Dead season 1 didn't really hit home for me, lol
full pivot
sometimes both in the same game 😛
idle saffron
Me too Aethena, same with movies
visual snow
The binding of isaac has a cool story
austere lance
I got the bad ending to Witcher 3 in my first playthrough and felt a bit teary-eyed, holy shit that was depressing
cinder vessel
...i don't know if "cool" is the term i'd use for that, but it's, uh...interesting
full pivot
the binding of issac unnerves me in a way nothing else does; but only when i think about what's happening
gaunt hare
Yup same. Only thing that has ever made my cry is books
visual snow
@cinder vessellol
cinder vessel
okapi but u'll ruin the ink
gaunt hare
Well those books ruined my day so
idle saffron
Talos Principle story is good, not a unique concept, but I enjoyed the presentation
gaunt hare
Nah but it's great when something hits you that hard tho
full pivot
the classic reason people ragequit XCOM2 (can't blame them for it either tbh)
visual snow
Undertale hits hard
full pivot
spec-ops my ass
gaunt hare
No spoilers
visual snow
Yee
gaunt hare
I'll spec-ops your... ass
full pivot
gaunt hare
I think that's almost a joke
visual snow
@gaunt hare sure
austere lance
Ah yes, missing people 3 feet away with a 98% hit chance
full pivot
austere lance
Classic Xcom
gaunt hare
@visual snow hey friendo who you think you are @ing me?

@gaunt hare im fine being spec opsed
bronze wind
you're in for it now okapi
idle saffron
Don't be mean to @gaunt hare Zoid
full pivot
now i just gotta decide if i wanna play sekiro first or XCOM2
gaunt hare
So this is what it feels like to have people message me
full pivot
yknow speaking of games cough
idle saffron
Goldeneye
bronze wind
peepeehole
meager panther
Ok what is sekiro..is it a rpg?
visual snow
Demon souls is the answer
gaunt hare
SEKIRO 🇯🇵
austere lance
Sekiro can fuck off with its death punishment, lol
full pivot
well i already know i don't like Sekiro because it forces me to be a dude 
idle saffron
That's kinda a goldeneye Zoid
meager panther
Oh
gaunt hare
What's wrong with being forced to be a dude??
meager panther
That's illegal
full pivot
down with the patriarchy thats what
gaunt hare
Harder Mommy
visual snow
Id love to be forced to do something tbh
austere lance
gaunt hare
Hahahahaha
full pivot
full pivot
wow, i didn't wanna have to say this
bronze wind
but she kills me so fast
full pivot
i wasn't being serious
meager panther
Zoid I finally with a girl
gaunt hare
"I'd love to be forced to do something tbh"

Nooo

don't worry okapi I won't spoil

Yeah he ain't milk to spoil

i guess i'll take a look at it 🙄
full pivot
gaunt hare
Hidetaka Miyazaki is my Dad.
full pivot
cool
visual snow
Ok sorry
austere lance
Why do Japanese devs think every cool lonely character should be named Wolf, lol
gaunt hare
Nah I keed. What I wouldn't give for some of that man's DNA inside me 😩
Because of Lone Wolf and Cub
Which is a totally badass series
cinder vessel
@full pivot xcom2 probably
full pivot
too late to the game bruh
gaunt hare
Nahhh
cinder vessel
i was getting food
gaunt hare
Xcom 2 very good tho
bronze wind
food time
cinder vessel
food > you all
gaunt hare
Agreed
bronze wind
cinder vessel
sorry zoid i dont vore like @brisk merlin
visual snow
I mean youll die without food
bronze wind
brisk merlin
gaunt hare
Yes but Leon would also die without us 
full pivot
too cutscene heavy
austere lance
What's the difference between regular Xcom 2 and the War of the Chosen or whatever it's called
full pivot
a lot of gameplay elements
gaunt hare
Dark souls 2?
visual snow
Yep
austere lance
The main reason I don't have Xcom 2 is because I fuckin hate timers in games. I blame Dead Rising 2, lol
cinder vessel
metroid prime
cinder vessel
no
bronze wind
metroid prime is good
gaunt hare
cinder vessel
yes zoid
full pivot
@austere lance War of the Chosen allows timers to be increased in length, or you can disable adjust them with mods
bronze wind
ds2 is also good. i like 3 the most though
gaunt hare
Yes tho it is
visual snow
@bronze wind ds1 is the best for me
gaunt hare
Wow, DS3 is my second least fav
cinder vessel
ds0 is best ds
austere lance
Dead Rising 2 and its shitty timer can eat my ass
bronze wind
I like ds9
visual snow
Ds3 has the best bosses in dark souls
gaunt hare
For me it goes bloodborne, dark souls, ds2, ds3, demons souls
Yes, yes it does
Ds3 actually has some of the best combat in general
Some of the best bosses
bronze wind
that's pretty much why i enjoy it more.
cinder vessel
ds9 was an interesting experiment
bronze wind
also it looks a lot nicer
visual snow
Yep champion gundyr is so intense oh man
austere lance
For me it goes none of those because I've only played 6 hours of Dark Souls 1 before 😴
gaunt hare
Yes, and it's sexy
gaunt hare
Great pvp too
bronze wind
That's nice, probably made sekiro a bit less strange lol, since you aren't trying to play it like a souls game
visual snow
@gaunt hare ds3 is the best by far for me
full pivot
that very first scene had to be a call back tho
gaunt hare
They all have standout tracks and all do their job well
cinder vessel
real winner is Déraciné
austere lance
I kinda want Sekiro but also don't feel like banging my head against a wall for however long the game is, lol
visual snow
@full pivotwhich one?
full pivot
i dont wanna describe it when ppl don't have the game
idle saffron
🙈
full pivot
but its literally the first thing in the game
gaunt hare
Yes pls
gaunt hare
SEKIRO
cinder vessel
Déraciné
gaunt hare
I don't have vr so I dunno
visual snow
Ok im playing metroid thennnn
bronze wind
@full pivot yeah the opening scene is 100% a ds1 callback
gaunt hare
I redownloaded ds3
cinder vessel
i just like saying that
austere lance
I still need to play Prey
gaunt hare
Good game
austere lance
Kinda scared of it after Dishonored 2 let me down
bronze wind
spongebob revenge of the flying dutchman @visual snow
cinder vessel
stick & dirt
gaunt hare
Prey is flawed but it's gameplay loop is so solid
visual snow
Metal gear solid
bronze wind
Yeah it was fun, I haven't finished it unfortunately
gaunt hare
Also I liked the story ok. I don't think it deserved all the criticism
bronze wind
I always get my ass kicked by anything larger than the little spiders
gaunt hare
Ya it's harrrd
bronze wind
😏
meager panther
Haarrd
gaunt hare
They hit you with their balls
cinder vessel
space captain mccallery is a nice game
gaunt hare
Yes
cinder vessel
which tho
visual snow
That damn death boss fight uhhhh
gaunt hare
I've never played but I would totally hit that
austere lance
Not sure how I feel about Arkane after Dishonored 2, that's the main reason I haven't gotten Prey
visual snow
First one
gaunt hare
What didn't you like about Dishonored 2
visual snow
Dark souls is pretty hard too
gaunt hare
I should play the first Dishonored
cinder vessel
wait wat
idle saffron
I didn't like dishonored, or 2
visual snow
Thief is pretty good of a series
idle saffron
I loved prey though
austere lance
@gaunt hare I played as Emily and 90% of her moves were 😴. That and the story was 😴. And the levels were 😴
cinder vessel
lol
austere lance
I've beaten Dishonored 1 at least 4x tho
gaunt hare
I never played Dishonored for more than a few hours
idle saffron
Just didn't hook me
cinder vessel
@gaunt hare but you played all of 2?
gaunt hare
I played none of 2
cinder vessel
ooohhhh
cinder vessel
i was gonna be like yo how you even playin' 2 without 1 and its dlc
gaunt hare
The level design of Prey is almost second to none
austere lance
I think I'm close to finished with 2 but I doubt I'll ever beat it, every time I look at it in my download library I play something else 😄
cinder vessel
it's kind of nuts that Dishonored 2 and Prey came out within a year of each other
gaunt hare
It's really so good. Having the entire game be a space station that actually makes logical sense and that you can go outside of
austere lance
Prey also annoys me because they canceled Prey 2 for it
gaunt hare
I've never played it
Because I'm a console scrub I've played less games than everybody
austere lance
Prey 2 looked like it was gonna be completely different from the first game. Being a badass space bounty hunter woulda been 😍
full pivot
good thing ive been playing fighting games a lot, this combat seems pretty standard 😛
gaunt hare
They certainly were being very ambitious with it
cinder vessel
for what it's worth, OG Prey was on console too
gaunt hare
Which one
cinder vessel
altho maybe only 360?
austere lance
360
idle saffron
Aye
gaunt hare
Ahhh ya then I missed it
cinder vessel
they shoulda stopped trying to make duke nukem forever and focused on it
idle saffron
How could they not see that that character was not going to do well as is?
gaunt hare
Those games suck
cinder vessel
they really wanted the dumb jokes to live on i guess
gaunt hare
Duke nukem is hilarious to me tho cause what was that one level
With the women impregnated by aliens
bronze wind
one thing i don't like about sekiro being a fromsoft game is it inherited a lot of the toxic fanbase. Although there seems to be a good amount of pushback against it on the sub so far.
gaunt hare
Noooo it's a lovely fanbase
idle saffron
Thanks
cinder vessel
np
visual snow
Souls fanbase is pretty toxic lol
cinder vessel
i wonder how long till they have their heralded loreinterpreter who then gets plagiarized or somesuch
bronze wind
It's not lovely lol
gaunt hare
Duke goes around shooting those alien pregnant women and it was sort of great to see the misogyny of the game like spill into creepy violent territory
bronze wind
It's 99% condescending comments and 1% "this is the best game i've ever played in my entire life"
visual snow
Doom is better
gaunt hare
where you feel like the game makers didn't realize how weird they were being making this
visual snow
By farrr
meager panther
Actually most online gamer community is very toxic
It's annoying honestly
And reddit is so full of criclejerks
gaunt hare
The souls community I know loves to see new players
visual snow
No mans sky community is lovely tho
meager panther
Lol
bronze wind
most communities love to see new players
I'm just glad Sekiro doesn't have multiplayer lol
visual snow
@bronze wind roasted
gaunt hare
Miyas games are about overcoming obstacles and I hope the community reflects that. The bloodborne community is especially kind
meager panther
It's the whole entitled gamer community
austere lance
Fuck, I made myself sad by watching the Prey 2 trailer again 😭
meager panther
Best part of this whole outrage culture is outside of the reddit circlejerk,it doesn't exist..which is nice tbh
gaunt hare
They really wanted to make it.
gaunt hare
Games are entertainment it's supposed to be fun people
austere lance
Can somebody please fuckin make a Prey 2 inspired game, that trailer was godly
cinder vessel
sure front me a few bil s0ul
gaunt hare
Stop getting too upset games you whiny babies
Id love a prey 2 made by arkane
A whole game like mooncrash
visual snow
Im still mad about silent hills
cinder vessel
all the stories about games stuff vs. the games themselves may reveal that the games themselves haven't much to say 🤐
but not really it's just people like talking around things more than about things, lol
meager panther
This is basically how the gamers feel after making any witty meme
cinder vessel
lol
idle saffron
I'm still mad about the last guardian
austere lance
No, gib badass bounty hunter game. Weird semi-stealthy Arkane games are 😴 @gaunt hare
visual snow
@idle saffron was it that bad?
cinder vessel
i love the last guardian, trico is best pupperkitty
visual snow
@cinder vessel he really is
meager panther
Hmm also any reason why Sony pulled all the keys or something?
idle saffron
Not bad, but didn't stand up to sotc
gaunt hare
Too bad soul
visual snow
The ending broke my heart
cinder vessel
the last guardian is ico 2 pupperkitty edition
meager panther
Hmm also any reason why Sony pulled all the keys or something?
idle saffron
Yeah kinda
visual snow
@austere lance badass bounty hunter game is metroid
idle saffron
And trico is terrific
cinder vessel
people that liked Shadow of the Colossus weren't likely to enjoy going back to Ico, so kind of revisiting that idea with The Last Guardian was bound to ruffle some pupperkitty feathers
gaunt hare
Most people prefer sotc over the last guardian which couldn't live up to the former
austere lance
@visual snow No, Metroid doesn't let you be a legit bounty hunter capturing wanted outlaws dead or alive
idle saffron
Lol
cinder vessel
Shadow of the Colossus was very typically gamey, so it's little wonder folks enjoyed it so much
gaunt hare
Cyberpunk will let you be badass super bounty hunter
visual snow
@austere lance i like metroid....
gaunt hare
Haha no it wasnt
cinder vessel
@austere lance have you played oddworld: stranger's wrath?
idle saffron
So typical, climbing giant colossi
austere lance
Yes @cinder vessel
gaunt hare
It's the opposite of typical for the time
austere lance
Easily one of my favorite games ever
cinder vessel
what i mean is that it has you killing enemies, i know that's reductive, but it's still true
idle saffron
So did ico
cinder vessel
Ico had you swatting away shadows, lol
gaunt hare
Long quiet stretches of travel interspersed with Giants that are killed by climbing them? Giants that act as levels?
cinder vessel
But they weren't the main focus
gaunt hare
That's very not typical
idle saffron
They were everywhere
austere lance
I love Oddworld stuff, Soulstorm be lookin 😍 so far
cinder vessel
The very main focus of Shadow of the Colossus was kill big baddies save the girl, when boiled down a ton
austere lance
Then the girl was eeeeeeeeviiiiiiiillllllll
visual snow
Oh noo
gaunt hare
I mean as far as video games of the time go, that game doesn't strike me as gamey. It feels too reflective
austere lance
Fun fact: Stranger's Wrath is the only Oddworld game that the creator of Oddworld has actually played all the way through
gaunt hare
And like it wants players to you know... I guess think about the game isn't the right way to describe it
Must be awful games
cinder vessel
I don't disagree, but when boiled down it's not too hard to see why some would prefer it as compared to Ico or The Last Guardian, which to me are more oriented towards caring for another, whether it's a mysterious girl or giant pupperkitty
idle saffron
Oh, I didn't prefer it to ico
gaunt hare
"I tried beating my game but jeeeesus talk about boring"
idle saffron
But to last guardian, yeah
austere lance
@gaunt hare They're fuckin cool, you heathen 😤
gaunt hare
The creator couldn't even get through them!
cinder vessel
that's interesting Gleam 🤔
gaunt hare
Nah but I haven't played them
cinder vessel
okapi it's because he did too much of the voicework and can't stand listening to himself
(i doubt it but that would be a great excuse)
austere lance
The first two were 2D platformers, the third one was a 3D adventure game, and the fourth one was a wacky FPS
visual snow
@austere lance which seriez?
idle saffron
I wanted the game to take another direction, as they did with sotc - give another unique way to play a story. Aside from trico I didn't feel they did that
cinder vessel
oddworld
austere lance
Oddworld
visual snow
Oh im not familliar with those
gaunt hare
I played an oddworld recently too and it totally held up
Only played an hour or so but it was still fun
cinder vessel
have u play as trico @idle saffron, lol
gaunt hare
You know what's not fun anymore?
cinder vessel
me
idle saffron
See, there we go
gaunt hare
Destroy All Humans
idle saffron
That coulda been crazy cool
gaunt hare
Those games did not age well
cinder vessel
That game was definitely a one and done Okapi
austere lance
Abes Odyssey and Abes Exodus were 2D, Munch's Odyssey was the 3D adventure-platformer, and Stranger's Wrath was the wacky FPS
visual snow
I didnt lile detroid become human
gaunt hare
I loved it as a young lad
cinder vessel
They're good for one playthrough and then yeah, it wears off fast
idle saffron
Agreed
gaunt hare
Detroit is worse than Heavy Rain
cinder vessel
But yeah Gleam, I think playing as Trico didn't fit their thematic aims, even if it might've been more interesting in terms of gameplay
gaunt hare
Heavy Rain is dumb and hilarious. Detroit is dumb and actually more capable but only to the point I found it insufferably boring.
idle saffron
Yeah, I didn't hate last guardian - just didn't give me what I hoped for
cinder vessel
Detroit is more foot in mouth
gaunt hare
Ya. Heavy Rain is honestly one of the funniest games ever made, I think.
cinder vessel
Heavy Rain is compelling until you replay it and realize it all falls apart
visual snow
What about beyond
gaunt hare
I never finished it, I want to
cinder vessel
Beyond is extra dumb
visual snow
Its cheeezy
gaunt hare
Yes but that falling apart is part of what makes it so godsamn funny
Beyond was slower
cinder vessel
Beyond is like Cage's midlife crisis 2 electric boogaloo
idle saffron
Not bad
cinder vessel
Indigo Prophecy was the first midlife crisis
visual snow
I really dont like cage
gaunt hare
My sister was playing beyond and she could just not do the FBI training level
It was so funny. Ellen Page just running into shit. Falling in mud
visual snow
I think nms has a better story than any of his games
gaunt hare
Getting punched in the face by a middle aged man twice her size over and over and he says "good work!"
Indigo Prophecy was the only one I could ever take somewhat seriously even though it's just as dumb
If not more so
I think that that's partly because the opening of that game is so good David Cage has been coasting on it for years
austere lance
@gaunt hare https://youtu.be/A0XFchN-iMM
full pivot
i really don't like david cage's storytelling, but i'd have to take the time to describe it in detail and its prolly not something anyone else cares about
but all in all i refuse to play his stuff after Heavy Rain
visual snow
Kojima games are cheezy but in a good way
gaunt hare
I actually remembered I played that game as a kid, Soul
David Cage is a terrible writer for so many reasons
austere lance
It's coming out on Switch @gaunt hare
gaunt hare
Awesome, anyone want to buy me a switch?
The way he handles female characters in his games are all at once sad, pathetic, boring, and not realistic
visual snow
If its not overpriced ill be interested in it
gaunt hare
Not realistic is being kind
austere lance
If I ever get a Switch it'll solely be for Stranger's Wrath and Pokémon, lol. Maybe Zelda
visual snow
Some of the mobile hames on switch cost 15 bucks
austere lance
LMAO
austere lance
Maybe Metroid too, if that ever happens
full pivot
you def hit on one of my big reasons okapi
visual snow
@austere lance im happy to know retro will be making them
full pivot
i watched Beyond Two Souls in full when 2 best friends played it; and watching them try all game to force that relationship to not work and having it forced on to them at the end
i sympathized with how upset they were about it
austere lance
I've played a couple hours of Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 3 on Wii, wasn't super impressed tbh
visual snow
Whats funny is that mp2 is consideeed to be the best @austere lance
gaunt hare
Oh man that scene in Beyond where she starts using her powers to chuck lamps at people
full pivot
i'll take the lame-ass relationboats in ME over that crap any day
gaunt hare
Goddamn... I honestly love the man, in a way. His games have made me laugh harder than any other games.
full pivot
i only enjoyed them because 2BFP shared my hatred for his storytelling haha
austere lance
I've never touched them cuz I've never owned a Playstation, lol
full pivot
but Omikron wasn't even funny, that was just miserable to watch
people still blame it for breaking apart the 2 best friends haha
visual snow
Im planning on playing a silent hill game which one should i play?
full pivot
Silent Hill 2
visual snow
Why?
full pivot
because its stand-alone
visual snow
@full pivot nice
gaunt hare
Haha unnecessary ping
visual snow
Okay its for ps2 right?
full pivot
and its often considered the "best" although not being my personal favorite
and PC yeah
visual snow
Oh sweet
full pivot
if you can find the PS2 greatest hits version go with that PLEASE
the HD remaster loses a lot
visual snow
Ill emulate it
austere lance
Someday I'll play the games the Wii ruined for me, lol. Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill Shattered Memories probably deserve a second chance. And Okami, but that was good enough that I ignored the shitty Wii part of it
full pivot
good
austere lance
I need Okami HD
full pivot
Okami is really cool but its slow to start
visual snow
Im that kind of person that will try to oprimize my first playthrough of a game
full pivot
i still wanna go back and finish it myself; just saw bits of it when my brother played through it
visual snow
Its on switch
austere lance
I got 3 bosses into Okami, I think
gaunt hare
I thought okami was too easy
austere lance
I unlocked fast travel through mermaids(?)
full pivot
man if touchscreen is enabled for Okami on switch i'll def go for it
visual snow
How long os silent hill 2?
full pivot
drawing with my hands would be way more fun
gaunt hare
Good game but I just turn off after a bit
full pivot
says 8 hours
idle saffron
Samurai Jack
full pivot
for SH2
gaunt hare
The theme started playing in my head
visual snow
Dark souls 3 took me 45 hours to complete lol
visual snow
But for me it was because i died so much
gaunt hare
Same
visual snow
Its not that im that bad to
Im just really impatient
Or try a certain thing much too many times
Good grammar
On my side wow
gaunt hare
I'm just bad
visual snow
Heh
Its still really fun to be bad at souls games
Im kind of scared to go back to 2
Those games are so stressful
gaunt hare
Best games
visual snow
Yeah
I think my first time trough dark souls one is something ill never be able to replicate
I was playing it during summer over the time of 1 week non stop
I got completely immersed
gaunt hare
Too many people report experiences like that with one to be coincidence.
Ds1 has a special reverence for those who were there at the time
visual snow
I llayed the remaster for the first time
gaunt hare
One of those gaming things you can miss out on.
It sucks when you find out about a great game past the point everyone else did
visual snow
It doesnt matter to me because i went in virtually blind
Man the final boss destroyed me emotionally i actually teared up
gaunt hare
I've teared up playing ever soulsborne but demons souls and ds3
visual snow
And man slave knight is the best thing if u pay attention to the lore
Souls lore is the besttt
full pivot
DkS2 is pretty lengthy if you're playing blind especially with all 3 DLCs
and then add 40 hours just for horsefuck valley
idle saffron
Which valley?
full pivot
the big open snow field with all the random horses charging in from the distance
idle saffron
I just wanted you to type it again
full pivot
its a pointless side area with a double big cat boss that doesn't really get you anything
hey thats what Lobos called it xD
full pivot
visual snow
Nah
Ds2 feels really weird to me
Its really hmmm
Hmmm
Onion knight intensifies

jade lake
wait did i just get r/whoooshed

Yez my friend

Crackdown 3 has you blow up a bunch of stuff, and it isn't story heavy

In souls games there are optional mini bosses

jade lake

visual snow

austere lance
Good times
Murder Miners was also fun
Real men went to the edge of the map on Castleminer Z to rare resource heaven, lol

@jade lake hey actually cant you just pass that mini boss?
visual snow
There are optional bosses in souls after all
But i get it

Proving your own worth thru a video game...
jade lake

jade lake

visual snow

Heh
This is straight up sad....
bronze wind
@jade lake which mini boss?
bronze wind
Oh god oh fuck
jade lake
i do stealth attack and then i talk to the guy above and then rush him
bronze wind
If you sprint and just toss a couple hits in here and there it's not too bad
jade lake
ive gotten really close
bronze wind
He can basically never hit you if you sprint in circles and attack when he does his overhead slice
jade lake
damn imma have to cheese that
bronze wind
It's not even cheese tbh, it's just the only way to get out of range without spamming Dodge or jump and hoping
bronze wind
bronze wind
Yeh it's better now that I got past the boss I was stuck on lol
I hit a big difficulty spike though
idle saffron
🙈
full pivot
i find bashing your head against a wall continuously in a fromsoft game is a good way to get frustrated and ruin the experience
so if i hit a wall i usually try for a bit and then take a break
same with Baba is You tbh haha
austere lance
Time to try out Need For Speed Rivals
austere lance
Holy shit, this is basically Hot Pursuit 3
I understood none of that, lol
I still don't know what args are 😄
austere lance
Nvm Need For Speed Rivals is garbo
I was unaware that this is a friggin MMO-lite until I got past the tutorial and it stuck me in a lobby full of morons gang-banging people. And when you get wrecked enough times it boots you to the cop or racer menus
idle saffron
I want that old crash stuff back - where it was kinda like a puzzle to figure out where to wreck and cause the most chaos
austere lance
Burnout games were godly
austere lance
Need For Speed Rivals would be good af since it's basically Hot Pursuit 3........IF IT WASN'T A FUCKIN WANNABE MMO
austere lance
Like, it has cops vs racers and cool gadgets just like Hot Pursuit........it's just always online and full of GTA trolls
Why, EA. Why
Why would you do this
austere lance
It'd easily be as good or better than Hot Pursuit 2 if it WASN'T FUCKING ONLINE
visual snow
Let them make moneyn idc
austere lance
Do you know how pissed I am, this is basically a worthy modern Hot Pursuit. TOO BAD IT'S MULTIPLAYER ONLY
idle saffron
Madden is a blessing and curse to ea - they make a ton of money, but learned they don't need to innovate
austere lance
All the fun stuff from Hot Pursuit is cancerous bullshit when other players are driving around dicking you with em. EMP blast? Fun af in Hot Pursuit, fuckin godawful in Rivals
austere lance
I care about Need For Speed Hot Pursuit
Oh this is gold, you CAN play offline.........if you wanna lose most of your sources of Speedpoints income for new cars and upgrades
10/10 game

"did it come out this week? no? 💤"

I play old-ass stuff like Mass Effect, lol. I could care less about how new something is as long as it's fun

Halo is fun and old.

That has the coolest when you have that walle moment
idle saffron
Maybe nms took them
visual snow
If you know what i mean
idle saffron
I wish there was another method for research points though
reef storm
Research points are SO SLOW
visual snow
I dont mind it
idle saffron
reef storm
But I sort of like that, and I'm not a grindy game fan really.
I go slow with builders like Astroneer and Satisfactory
idle saffron
Didn't render the stuff on the far storage 😦
visual snow
This game gets close to minecraft in how you can express yourself through the game imo
idle saffron
I get lost in astroneer sometimes, don't really accomplish anything, just bebop around in my truck
Lost as in I wander away on purpose
visual snow
@idle saffron the best feeling when you go on a trip in ur buggy and loose the base
visual snow
Its like odyssey lol

Nightly update number 5. About 40 hours in.
meager blaze
Hows Satisfactory? did they say when they are going out of early access? or whatever they call it on Epic games store

Assassin's Odyssey is good
Although I just feel like a maraduer rather than a assassin
teal mason
Assassin's Creed hasn't been about being an assassin for a while now

I wonder how it would look on swtich
idle saffron
It will look good

Ohh i guess

i made good progress in XCOM2 today
yeah i was wondering why you were typing random words in the channel 
zenith night
F
full pivot
i only made 4 because it was after work and i wouldn't have had any time to play missions if i spent it all making people

6 hours of being a ancient Greece guy
And then the guy keeps getting chased by everyone lol
Game would be better with guns

I am.gud. I just don't like getting up close and stabbing everyone

But there is apparently a ghost arrow
That can go through buildings and walls
So that's pretty cool
Lol

scrab
just remembered today that XCOM2 added in the backstory missions for the in-between from Enemy Within to XCOM2
full pivot
i do still loathe how idiotic civilians are xD
giant alien death machine right in front "i better just stay right here"
or even better "lets run right for it"
visual snow
Its a strategy game giv it some slack
rigid haven
And the civs have no strategy
full pivot
they run straight into the enemy too often when the mission objective is 'save people'
and then the AI prioritizes them as targets even when getting hammered by XCOM operatives with magnetic weaponry xD
and because i saved 5/6 civilians it caused them to tell me i had "failed" that month even though in the same month i completed a primary story mission 😛
i think there's a mod that fixes it tho
clearly not the biggest threat 😛
full pivot
magnetic rifle 😄

I'm pretty far in Sekiro and everything kills me so fast now
meager panther
I am noticing a pattern in Ubisoft games now
Same type of weapons level up
Same type of events on the map
Same type of combat level up
In games

Yes, it's literally known as the "Ubisoft formula".
meager panther
Oh
bronze wind
even with HZD lol

Zoid, how would you rate Sekiro?
