Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground, where an old man of aran goes around and around. And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night, for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right. But he'll never, never fight over you.

Why don't you like it
crystal yacht
@waxen crane I'll preface with I wanted to liked it. I shoulda like it, it's so cool.
waxen crane
Ok
crystal yacht
But the more I played, the less satisfied I was. It was like Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy... you name it, HZD creators took from it.
And then they made it way too easy.
crystal yacht
No, story was one of the worst parts for me
I started on the hardest setting they would let me
waxen crane
Ultra hard isn't available on your first play through
crystal yacht
and then melee killed that giant T-rex with almost no damage, same for bows
waxen crane
I think
crystal yacht
Unless it's a dramatic AI mechanics and movement overhaul, no setting in that game would be challenging.
waxen crane
Ultra hard literally makes them more aggressive
crystal yacht
Aggro can't save that combat
waxen crane
Previously they'll attack 1 by 1 but on ultra hard they'll attack you all at once
crystal yacht
And then getting hammered over the head with endless tropes made me avoid plot like the plague
crystal yacht
Like... omfg, another bigot. Who would have guessed?
waxen crane
But the combat and the setting was really good
crystal yacht
Setting was awesome
they gave a very good explanation and backstory to the world, I'll buy it
waxen crane
Yeah
crystal yacht
But plot scored no points with me and combat was absurdly easy, so I put it down and left it
waxen crane
Trust me ultra hard is a huge step up from hard
waxen crane
If you don't want to play it then fine but I'd reccomend it
crystal yacht
And more enemies is nice but... still gonna have that endless dodge, poor mechadino turning radius and all the other cheese
waxen crane
How far did you get?
crystal yacht
I opened the whole map, I think
Plot-wise I stopped at Shadow Karja(?) but I roamed all over.
waxen crane
So
crystal yacht
About 50 hours?
crystal yacht
Passed through the Sundom, more like
did several quests in it, completed the Lodge etc
waxen crane
Alright
crystal yacht
Kept trying to find something I really enjoyed, but kept going to other games
crystal yacht
I wish the people that did the old world building in HZD had kept that stye/team/whatever through the rest of the game
waxen crane
Your choice though
crystal yacht
seemed like a big... stylistic gap in parts of the game
waxen crane
Exploring ruins was my least favourite part
crystal yacht
If there was more to explore... yeah, not a fan either.
I was more talking the storyboard for the old world impressing me

Oh ye

Strangely, Nintendo is only releasing this as a limited-time package. Super Mario 3D All-Stars arrives on September 18th for $59.99, but it’ll only be available until “approximately” March 31st, 2021. Presumably, this game will be released in both physical and digital editions, but it seems they don’t intend on keeping the digital version available indefinitely.

Path of Exile is way better than Diablo
The character build customization alone is leagues beyond Diablo

It's basically a dungeon crawler with insane levels of build customization.

D3 was my jam for a long time.
I didn't think PoE was even anything like it. I'll check it out.
austere lance
D3 is much faster-paced and flashy
dry copper
One teleport summoned duplicates all firing arrows at enemies, three traps tripled the clones, and dodging made me teleport...So it was clone after clone after clone.
I've seen some better builds, but I liked the ability to avoid damage entirely
I've never played D3. Only D1.
I imagine D3 is better then that.
austere lance
D3 is basically Diablo for crackheads, lol. You can light up the screen with fuckin crazy amounts of stuff after a while 🤣
My Necromancer basically turns corpses into C4, lol. I can detonate em whenever I want, which leads to some spectacular boom booms with pieces flying everywhere 😆
Necromancer OP as fuck and I love it, lol
My Witch Doctor can summon a Golem, toss exploding acid skulls everywhere, and every once and a while make a massive phantom stomp around the area wrecking shit
dry copper
I avoid D3. The always online crap was an idiotic decision for a game that's MP "OPTIONAL"
PoE is essentially in the same boat, but for their never having offered a single player game.
austere lance
What if I told you that only the PC version of D3 requires internet, lol
For some reason the console ports don't
@cinder vessel Nintendo apparently did something to spite you, lol. Read the last line
dry copper
Ewww
They sold a game and are taking it back?
Are they giving the money back?
Nintendo is going to ruin their entire company if it becomes expected that they're going to treat game ownership as truly a rental
When I said PoE is highly customizable in terms of build, this is the character builder.
Each dot being a skill or power.

@dry copper They're releasing an HD Switch port of the 3D Mario games too, problem being the games are being taken off shelves and the digital store after March 😬

That's literally the only thing I can say was good about the game.
I got bored of poe...because I don't like dungeon crawlers
I enjoyed character building the most
rigid haven
Mario 35 is a free game, but 3D All Stars is not
Thankfully the latter is still playable and downloadable for anyone who purchases it while it's available
dry copper
Being taken off shelf just means you can't buy it. Not playing it is a whole other kettle of fish. That's removing access to the game to even play. Are they making the game require online checks, to play and removing access to them?
To me that doesn't even sound legal
Esp if you buy it
Less so if you didn't
rigid haven
Nah nah, once you buy it it's yours
If you wanna make a quick buck maybe buy a physical copy and sell it once it goes off the shelves
austere lance
The game they're gonna turn off servers for and remove from your library is a F2P BR, so I guess that's OK

I'll be grabbing it digital because you know
It's a VERY GOOD collection though
Maybe they'll re-up it on the eshop after March
Maybe separately??
austere lance
If one was an enterprising individual they could buy a few physical copies, wait a month or so after the game stops being sold, then sell em 👀
Congratulations Nintendo, you just guaranteed that physical copies are gonna immediately sell out cuz of scalpers
rigid haven
Ah shit yeah
dry copper
Congratulations Nintendo, you just guaranteed that physical copies are gonna immediately sell out cuz of scalpers
@austere lance That's one of their business models.
They under produced the nintendo mini on purpose (for example), so they could sell future waves on the virtue of having sold out.
cinder vessel
@austere lance also Super Mario 3D All-Stars being a limited release. Nintendo is the worst with this stuff. You get exclusive crap deals from Sony, advertising & paid online even for free games from Microsoft, and all these jerks just make getting and playing games on their hardware the most obnoxious task.
Convinced the only way marketers keep their jobs is by making more and more convoluted schemes to sell stuff, because if they just marketed & sold stuff straight up, and it failed, their job would be more precarious.

more than alien
@willow crypt I came looking for a fight, I just didn't know it was going to be this one

which do you prefer?

Aliens is a good action flick but a poor sequel to Alien, making Alien: Covenant the better sequel imo
willow crypt
when did that come out

I do prefer Alien, but Prometheus and covenant are welcome editions... interesting even. leaves me hungry for more about the Engineers and the deacon.

Covenant came out way after Alien & Aliens

Covenant's action was on point. I loved the lander scene when the infection starts.

crisp sparrow

cinder vessel
Aliens is a good movie, don't get me wrong btw, but it doesn't capture the horror vibes as well
spiral shell
Prometheus needed more time or perhaps even two movies to tell the plot they tried to tell. WAYYY to much for a sci-fi horro film in an expanded and multi-decade work of fiction universe.
crisp sparrow
Aliens was the Rambo counterpart
cinder vessel
Right, which is why I don't view it as being as good a sequel
crisp sparrow
and Alien 3 was a mistake

"Hey let's summarize 3 decades of story with two young scientist you never met in 20 minutes!" yes no.

I have a ladyboner for Fassbender so I'm ok with him being on film anytime. That said, he played a great crazy android... I didn't like covenants "Fasbender Bowl" scene. double dumbass trope we all predicted from a mile away. WHY MAKE THEM LOOK THE SAME?

I like that David wins the battle with Walter. What I don't like is the fact they look identical. That is so cheesy and lazy and just dumb. Maybe there is a higher thinking 4D vision here where the faults of the designers of AI and Walter overlook BLAH BLAH BLAH.
If everyone thought the previous one was uncanny due to emotional faults, you'd think they'd reboot the entire image (especially visually) to let folks know this is a new model. But who knows, I've been drinking dumb bitch juice apparently. The jesus-fan captain dumbly follows David into an egg pit and looks directly into one after David's beckoning. Perhaps they were all drinking dumb bitch juice.
who in the actual fuck would look into some small child sized egg that randomly opens up in front of them... who trusts a freaking AI robot you know is faulty and insane (and even if you don't, perhaps all the contextually CLUES around YOU would suggest as much?).
Movies were pretty good tho 5/7 for sure.
winter yew
I'd look inside an hatching alien egg tbh.
cinder vessel
Wasn't that captain guy even portrayed as distrustful of AI?
spiral shell
Dr. Holloway in Prometheus was not sure if Jesus captain guy was.
cinder vessel
They really just aren't good at writing characters into making believable mistakes, lol
All it would take in the captain scene is having the android coerce him into looking, but I don't recall that being the case
spiral shell
That said, Prometheus does have Idris Elba in it. Perhaps that's why I have liked it all along
And Charlize Theron!

I couldn't get past like 4 or 5 hours just because of clunkiness. But I don't have a super high tolerance for that with combat based games

Graphics are nice. Combat is the best part.
It's fast paced and unforgiving.
Not darksouls though

I'd watch some gameplay honestly
bronze wind
it's the same company so makes sense
willow crypt
yeah
bronze wind
idk, just really never felt good enough for me to want to play it. But I also don't really like the costumes/setting very much at all which didn't help
dry copper
Honestly, it felt like the game should've been better designed.
They knew better.
Or they should've
bronze wind
they have another game coming out that looks pretty interesting conceptually. No gameplay yet, just a cinematic trailer and a description
dry copper
I played Greedfall start to finish and got the best ending...and then I decided to get the worst one, by loading up a save near the end and making a very very different decision
bronze wind
dry copper
There are a lot of different things that can lead to different endings
Yeah I got no pangs of interest for that game
I get it conceptually, but I'm so done with combat as the main premise of a game
bronze wind
that's fair, i'm interested to see real gameplay but i'm feeling that it'll still be clunky so i doubt I'll actually get it
dry copper
I actually ended up getting greedfall for full price. This forced me to justify the purchase in my mind and play it until I either hated it or not.
I didn't ever love it.
The story was what kept me going and even that was lackluster.
bronze wind
I think I got it on sale. I played it for a couple hours or something when I got it but stopped for a while.
Came back to it to try again and just sorta didnt' care about anything taht was happening and a lot of the mechanics just annoyed me
cinder vessel
Re: tired of combat, As Far As The Eye looks interesting in that regard, particularly for a strategy game
bronze wind
like "man can't jump over 3 foot gap because you haven't leveled up a skill"
bronze wind
It was their attempt to add some sort of "metroidvania" style stuff i.e. having to revisit areas with new abilities. But it was just not done in a way that made me feel interested in getting there.
dry copper
It was done horribly....It didn't make me want to visit them. It made me regret ever seeing them
The reward was always shit
"Here. I know you've been eager to revisit this vista to see what secrets are within...Here they are. An old grey sword, a ball of yarn, and the corpse of a turtle"
There was literally only one reward worth getting with these extra skills and it was an armor set that was only barely better than one you could find on the shore in a chest in the open beside a river.
and it was ugly to boot
I ended up giving all the extra armor pieces to my various companions.
So would have a team decked out in full sets of rares
facerolled the entire game
bronze wind
yeah the armor was a little boring and nothing really stood out as cool to me except for the flaming swords
for some reason I just love when games have swords that maintain some sort of visual magical effect when they deal a specific elemental damage, instead of just showing something when you make contact or whatever
like a lot of games if i enchant a blade with fire, it looks the same, and when it hits someone there are little flames. I want a sword that is covered in flames all the time when unsheathed lol
Really dumb detail but still one tiny thing I liked about it
dry copper
One of the reasons I enjoyed World of Warcraft. Particles on weapons.

Problem being, quest still wants me to go back to slavers and tell em she ran away.
Mean, I can tell her corpse that, but don't think she cares about that anymore.
Yeah "we warned halley, we should now remove slavers from our territory." It doesn't get more removed than that. Dunno if the fucking game seriously didn't expect me to pull through or what
Why was fucking attack one of the options then.

I am the one who watches.

I'm watching that, playing 3 games, and working. That's all my brain can handle 😆

I couldn't really get into Breaking Bad tbh
Even tho it had a track I really enjoy (Dead Fingers Talking) in like the first ep or so

@dry copper I'm working my way through it, then I'm gonna watch El Camino and Better Call Saul
It's fuckin addicting, I'm limiting myself to two episodes a day at most 😆

i'm not anti profanity ffs but how about no racist or sexist words
let me revise: if everyone else is fine using the word cunt on this server, who am i to deny you that pleasure
brisk merlin
That word isnt sexist or racist
silver sparrow
ok so kev is blocked, good info to have
bronze wind
tbh I can't say I've ever considered it sexist at first but I can def see how it would be. the same person used "slut" earlier too though so i have a feeling sensitivity to things like that won't be something you get from them unfortunately @silver sparrow
full pivot
Well if I'm asked to remove it I probably will because it def falls under offensive even if not for everyone, and i dont really understand the slew of profanity over what is usually a videogame
bronze wind
yeah seems to be a trend with them

The game seems pretty cool, but Keanu Reeves... Don't know if I can handle an entire game with him randomly showing up.
bronze wind
yeah he's a cool guy but just having a literal celebrity jammed into the game with a weird name is pretty strange to me
bronze wind
it's more about the visuals for me, not how well-written or not his character is
willow crypt
Both
It's what we do with any well known movie
We let ourselves believe in a character, despite knowing the actor
With that said, I tend to like movies with actors I've never seen before
bronze wind
movies are different to me, but same. Unless it's a well known actor who I really enjoy, or a big actor doing something they don't normally do.
for games where you can create original characters at will pretty much, just using the exact likeness of a real person is boring to me
then giving him a metal arm and calling him "Johnny Silverhand", like cmon lol
bronze wind
As long as he's not a primary character that pops up every other mission it's cool though
willow crypt
I feel like his character will be minimal throughout the story
bronze wind
yeah partially why I wasn't interested in Death Stranding too, among other reasons. Doesn't help that I don't really like Norman Reedus at all lol
willow crypt
Oh yeah
I could get over that one
Because Norman Reedus I've only seen in a couple things
And I like the 'silent type'
bronze wind
I tried to watch some stuff he was in and just wasn't into it at all. Also just don't really feel interested in him visually
But ik he's pretty popular so I get why a lot of people were into him

Cyberpunk is based on the 90's tabletop game, Johnny's been a character in that universe long before the game was announced

Idk why Zoid, but he's one of my favorite WD characters

That's fair Soul, still pretty stupid sounding lol, but nice to know it was inherited rather than hamfisted

No controls on this video. You have no control over this situation.

lmao nice
but yeah def gonna sell my 2070 and VR headset
I'd keep the headset but it's an oculus so nah
jesus christ the card I have goes for like $720 on amazon due to it not being in production
not that i'd sell it anywhere near that
winter yew
It's so stupid.
bronze wind
I got it for I think $400, same with the VR headset. So I'll probably just sell both for like $300
that means I only pay like $100 for a 3080 assuming they sell at that price
I'm sure some people will talk me down like $50 or so
winter yew
Oh of course they will.
bronze wind
I got the headset for effectively $100 too
cause they "Lost it" in shipping (it was actually across the street for a week), then sent me another one
sold the other one for $300

Be stupid not to. Nice to have a small bit of luck like that every once in a while lol

Like just as I'm getting into it, it'll just bug out or crash somehow

I think you have to download fan-made patches to fix that

Wait, do you have the Enhanced Edition Directors Cut
cinder vessel
yeah
And I get that, but now they rich mfers they can revisit their stuff & fix it
Same with you Bethesda, especially you Bethesda 
austere lance
Why does Steam give Enhanced Edition such high ratings if it doesn't work
cinder vessel
It works, just inconsistently
And people have low standards thanks to Bethesda lowering them
austere lance
cinder vessel
(as well as other devs, but I like to pick on Bethesda)
I'm sure Fallout 3 also has really good ratings, but it's a big ol' mess
austere lance
Honestly I'd skip 1, 2 explains everything that happened and has better gameplay
They uh, knew they fucked up with 1 and may have kinda sorta designed 2 to make 1 unnecessary for new players
If you really wanna know what happened in 1 do what 90% of players new to the series do and watch/read a story synopsis 😆
winter yew
Is that the fucking joke or just another jank of this game..
Worst thing you don't even know right. wasteland 3 I mean.
There's this raider banging on a safe, saying why won't it open.
I kill him, cash in a quest, and trying to open safe myself.
What do you know, you fucking can't, it says it needs lockpicking lvl 7.

Reviews are looking....Surprisingly good.

I can't find a recent review that isn't a half hour long.
Seriously. It shouldn't take a half hour to explain the game.
Or review it
5-10 mins TOPS, and that's assuming alot to talk about
@zug Did you say you had Windbound ?
austere lance
I think he refunded it

Is it a survival game or does it have a compelling story?
Watching reviews felt like watching a survival mini.

it seems more survival with light story from what i've played of it so far

I hath remembered that combat is much more entertaining in Mad Max when I stop being stingy with the shotgun, lol
cinder vessel
why would you ever be stingy with a shotgun in a game with a shotgun
austere lance
Ammo
cinder vessel
pfft
austere lance
Ammo is kinda rare, at least til I have the ammo bench thing in all my safehouse places
Tho it's a better now that I put points into the "Loot more ammo" perk
austere lance
Lol. When there's only one town in the wasteland that produces bullets they kinda become a rare commodity
austere lance
That's the point of the Mad Max world, it's a damn desert with people eating each other and having basically no resources. None of that "Nuclear apocalypse" crap, it's literally a massive desert where everyone's a savage in one way or another
The fuckin oceans receded
cinder vessel
nah i know that's the setup for it, but the game, at least so far as i'm aware, doesn't translate that into survival-esque gameplay
so, gib big boom bullets
austere lance
Kinda? You use water and food to heal
cinder vessel
okay, but your health isn't constantly draining like you've got some serious constipation disease eating away your insides, right?
austere lance
No 😆
If everyone had bullets it'd be a third-person shooter, which wouldn't at all fit with what Mad Max is
cinder vessel
but it kinda is how that plays, no?
charred badge
One of my first runs in Gunfire Reborn got two perks.
Random ammo every 1m traveled.
Ammo pickups convert to needed types when full.
austere lance
No? Combat is melee combat on foot with a shitty little sawed off shotgun that you can use if you can make enough room during a fight to do so, but at most you can carry 5+ shells. Tho you can use it in car combat to shoot drivers, tires, and gas tanks
charred badge
A shotgun that doesn't lose impact after 5m?
cinder vessel
o, third-person brawler with a side of shotties then i guess

I approve of the game not doing the usual "one enemy at a time" thing most games do, you can and will have 5+ people trying to jump your ass
And they'll have different fighting styles and equipment

No, lol
A shotgun that doesn't lose impact after 5m?
@charred badge
Oh it's for sure 10m or maybe a little more, you gotta get close to use it in car combat
charred badge
Know what always confuses me?
Murrican football, with the 10 yard lines
It always looks like a player can touch two at the same time
Maybe it's just perspective being weird
austere lance
Car combat involves lots of ramming, harpooning, shotgunning, and after a while, explosive harpooning 😆
charred badge
Sounds like skies of arcadia
austere lance
And late in the game you can put flamethrowers on your car that shoot sideways
charred badge
Small nimble airship
Big weapon: giant nose mounted harpoon
austere lance
You have a hunchback midget riding in the back of your car who does the harpooning, lol
austere lance
The hunchback riding in your car operating the harpoons calls your car the Magnum Opus and thinks holy mechanical angels gave him the vision of building it and introduced you (who he calls Warrior Saint) to him

He's a Blackfinger tho, which means he can build and repair basically anything on the planet that's mechanical. He's the one that builds your car upgrades and gear like the harpoons and flamethrowers

i watched it regardless when it came out, lol
pretty sure I even mentioned liking it here back then
well, off-topic, but ya know

I like the newer ones more than the old ones because they aren't as 'cramped'. They feel more adventurous and aren't restricted to just the ship interior.
I also appreciate the deeper dive into the lore

I liked the movie Predators cuz it was an entertaining idea. Predators would defo do group hunts on an alien planet, especially the mean new Predators that don't mind cheating and using too much tech

Predator is in the jungle with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Predator 2 is in the city, Predators is on an alien planet that Predators use as a group hunting ground, and The Predator is the dumbass new one with Super Predators in it

He finally managed to take the fucker down, and suddenly there's like 5 more, and he's like who's next. 😄
Ah, that one I don't think I've seen then. 1, 2, and Alien vs predator thing. Also quite fun. enemy of my enemy etc.

Alien vs Predator was fun

@winter yew After the original one with Arnold there were these (in this order)
