iirc, doesn't it have a bit of fan service?

what's that mean?

Personally Ace, I don't have hype for cyberpunk. Just love the setting enough I figure I can live in the game world like I did in gta v
I like good games
Like witcher 3
coarse swift
Fan service = what most JRPG's do to their females
glass plinth
Balanced enough I can replay
winter yew
LMAO
just because the wing divers are busty and wear skimpy armor, it's hardly fan-service
you can rarely see that stuff anyway, among all the explosions and chaos
the series has been around since the PS2
coarse swift
Yeap, there it is. 
glass plinth
Lets be honest, Japanese games are fan service oriented by design.
Its good for profit
coarse swift
I won't knock on it too much, I do play PSO2 after all.
glass plinth
Eh, I played plenty of Japanese games.
I just don't have any illusions about the cultures mentality about fan service.
Although it certainly does seem to be evolving

I'm happy most Titanfall 2 players missed the nightmare that was Titanfall 1, lol. We don't talk about that game 😬
I appreciate it starting the Titanfall universe and giving the sequel something to build off of but good fuckin lord was it a nightmare
You see grasshopper, in the first game you could build your own Titan (choose its frame and gear). This sounds like a good thing and it was for a good week after release, then everyone realized you could make a glass cannon build that was an absolute god damn nightmare

Never played the first

In RDR2 there are three characters, strangers that when you kill, keep coming back to life somehow
The first is a guy on a horse that wants to race you. You'll run into him "on the road" now and then.
I shot him in the face for calling me a coward for not wanting to race. He showed up again.
Another is a racist in Saint Denis, selling Eugenics flyers
I've thrown him off roof tops, shot him point blank, slit his throat, fed him to gaters...he re-appears.
Third is a guy selling a book to get rich. I killed him from afar with a bow and arrow. Re-appeared

Yo, The Long Drive right?
It's extremely early access, but I really like what they're going for.
Pimped my car to the extreme. 😄
What's it about? Dunno, a road trip. Gotta travel 5k kilometres from what I heard.
lol.
the first trailer on that game's page shows poop. WHY
It's more about the journey, you traverse this "semi post-apocalyptic" (what store says) desert, you scavenge, you take care of the hunk o junk you got randomly assigned, and you try to travel as far as you can.
These fucking wheels I found, they're glorious. 😄
you want some insight into how early access it is, I'd say this video's perfect. 😄
Beta branch, not in normal game atm, dunno looks game ready to me. 😄
lol
wet warren
That sounds like a cool concept
winter yew
Ye the scavenging part i simply love.
Found new cooler in the abandoned building, almost brand new, better than my rusty junky one, so just tear it out, and install the new one.
in fact most parts can be torn and swapped.
lost a light after a colision with a rock, found semi new car, just tore light out of it to install in mine. 😄
hubcaps were also in far superior condition to mine, swapped those out, found out I lost one in the same collision I assume, so cool, now I had all 4 again. 😄
Car mirrors were all rusty too, mostly cosmetic I'd imagine, but I could swap em for brand new ones, so why not.
now to think of it, why in the hell did I cannibalise that almost brand new car to fix my hunk o junk?
oh this one, I feel like this one better portrays what the game's about.

I just randomly run into them while wandering the country side

Just curious. In RDR2 is there any scenario in which you have arthur on pronghorn ranch? I won't say where this is in the game for spoiler reasons, but curious if he is a part of that series.

several times lol
dry copper
Most of his bans I think are DMCA related, I believe. The only time anyone's called him out for his racist tropes, he responded by doubling down on his racist tropes - Then had the audacity to call the criticism "laughable". Looks like he's using the Alex Jones school of thought defense against criticism. I suspect once this shit gets aired, he'll claim "It's a character!".
I think twitch just gave him millions in an exclusivity deal.
I wonder if that wasn't just a precursor for this culling.

always called him sir

It's a 10/10 @dry copper

Also, RDR 1 has one of the best expansions of all time

We all know the best score is really 6.9 or 4.2.

Dunno, all the hype, the engagement I had, it all evaporates after credits roll, it's almost a curse.

I dont have the juice in me to play anything except sometimes trying to build something in minecraft

It happened in RDR2, in Minecraft, sure, Skyrim, Oblivion, ffs.

I havent played anything else in months

What's there to do after you kill the ender dragon, alduin, defeat molag ball.
Nothing, your grand journey is over. Sure, there's some side content, but eeeeeeeeehhhh.
crisp sparrow
well at least in minecraft its mostly just about building
winter yew
Ye but everything you do you do with one goal in mind.
crisp sparrow
for older players, killing the dragon only starts the game for them
winter yew
To chop that fkn lizzards head off and hang it above your fireplace.
After that, there's nothing. You can... dunno, fuck about in survival still, sure, build some more, explore some more, but for what?

well again the "point" of minecraft is that there IS no point of it
you do whatever you feel like doing in it

Well there is, it's just rather far away, so road to it isn't as straight.

Free The End, whatever the hell that means. 😄
crisp sparrow
that's just a name for the achievement lol, its not the "plot"
winter yew
You get credits and whatnot, you can explore the end now, get your wings, and poof.
What's the fkn plot of Terraria then. 😄
crisp sparrow
same thing, there's no plot just a bit of background lore
winter yew
It's even less plot oriented than minecraft, you have some world building at least, meanwhile here you get most of your world building from high devs. 😄

Least there aren't that many that trigger by themselves, and once you kick their asses they shouldn't do that again.
crisp sparrow
wasnt terraria always a bossfight game with building?

Kicking their asses is difficult when all you've done is gather materials to make a nice house
No
crisp sparrow
I only watched that one video where they showcased old versions, I never got this impression that terraria is building oriented first

It was originally building with the occasional goblin rush and wandering monsters, along with a couple bosses

but more of "build your way to exploit these enemies"

It started as a 2d Minecraft

Now there's like three kinds of hostile terrain that spreads, several base knocker bosses, and more things that need dungeon materials
It would be nice if modes that sit between "creative/peaceful" and "standard" existed in this sort of situation
I like needing to go out and forage for building materials
crisp sparrow
well it does now
Journey mode
you can turn off enemies/events when you want to build, and turn it on once you're done and ready
among dozens of other stuff you can do without it being just console commands
willow crypt
I do think the difficulty and bosses do help the feeling of progression as you go deeper, though it's good they have the option to turn that stuff off
For the chill players
You know what game kinda needs that?

My math was off before about the amount required to buy the entirety of Astroneer's MTX store
About $155 should be right
I hadn't realized there were alternate bundles for Q-Bits
Yknow, at least the content updates will be free...
But I'm not hopeful for the cosmetics side when basic fucking visor colors are 100 Q-Bits, or $1.
They aren't even reflective, like the ones you earn through gameplay achievements.
They're just... plain ole colors.
wet warren
Oh yeah the little bits of paid content for Astroneer?
I don’t like it myself but if they don’t abuse it then it’s fine
coarse swift
I'd like to find out when they actually announced this store though
wet warren
Me to
coarse swift
The frame suit was teased for quite a while, but I dunno if they also discussed the store becoming a thing at the same time
Currently, I'm disappointed to find out that the suit was a "buy-only" thing after all
If it were actually discussed in conjunction with the MTX store, my disappointment could at least be changed to "well I shoulda read into it more"
A big concern of mine is that hopefully they don't downgrade future event cosmetics for the sake of the MTX store
Downgrade or lessen
You've got a total of 63 items on the MTX store right now, and you only get... 3? cosmetic items each event

Finally completed RDR2....There's a sense of finality....that makes me hate RDR1
For it not being on PC
Oh well.
I did some exploring found some rare guns, killed countless del lobos, saved a cholara infested armedillo....the list goes on
I don't know how much of the RDR1 world is in RDR2, but there's a HUGE area of the game that's not even part of the main story.
Literally double the map size almost
Only stuff I've found there incidents and engagements with del lobo and the occassional cholara story
dry copper
It's weird. It feels almost pointless to continue playing with no story.
The reward feels trite even though when there was story to do, the biggest reward I got was from doing everything but the story
I guess, because I do story last...Which means, I get a sense of completion when the story is over
That can't be filled with doing anything else afterwards
silver sparrow
makes sense
dry copper
RDR2 was fantastic though. 260 hours.
Mostly fucking around wandering the wilderness.
I feel kinda sad that the game is done.
Like a good book
You close the book, reflect on it and wish the story hadn't ended.
and I'm not at all interested in RDR Online
RDR Online looks like it just follows the same premise as RDR but with less direction and more micromanagement
silver sparrow
[insert game name] online is gross

GTA Online is pretty okayish because even though it's a grindfest, you're actually grinding for good stuff like cars and shit
RDOnline is "want this hat? give us gold bars," which are a new sort of premium currency that you CAN earn but fuck idk
dry copper
Don't listen to him about GTA Online. It's a grind fest. The only component of the game that makes it good is the element of creation where players can make their own stunt tracks and special events.
RDROnline is a game that took the concept of "Fashion is end-game" and completely ignored the start of the game
Fashion is the only game...and oh, here's some shit to do in between fashion.
Fashion is only end-game if there's a game to end.
