teamster 05.04.20	I’m still a Destiny 2 maniac. All my time goes to that game. Sucks right now though. This season has been pretty lackluster. Debating trying the GM NFs. No point. Been off and on with Borderlands 3. Currently running TVHM story line on M3. Cartel event seems interesting. Black Mesa is pretty good. Obviously the visual enhancements are great. I started The Outer Worlds but I have become bored. Disappointing really.
miguelsan 05.04.20	Crash Bandicoot 3 is actually the first game I remember playing and SMW is best 2D Mario. Never got around to playing Worms.
madrigal30 05.04.20	huge paradox games fan, been playing a lot of Witcher 3 too, BoTW and ACNH
zakalwe 05.04.20	I’ve ploughed a few hours into Stellaris. Outstanding.
madrigal30 05.04.20	i play on c*nsole tho so im only getting the big patch in liek a week
nightbringer 05.04.20	My wife and I have been playing Elder Scrolls, Oblivion.
Deathconscious 05.04.20	I just bought a PS4 just so i could play the FF7 remake. Hope its worth it.
el_newg 05.04.20	about to start Yakuza 0, never played a Yakuza game before
SteakByrnes 05.04.20	I've been burning through Persona 5 Royal, the original was one of my top 5 games ever and Royal is even better due to all of the additions, story enhancements, and gameplay enhancements
tyman128 05.04.20	Currently have Skyrim downloading to finally try that out. Just got through playing The Last of Us which was fun
anarchistfish 05.04.20	Rocket league, Spiderman and I'm back on Overwatch
anarchistfish 05.04.20	I have ps now and sooo many unplayed and half played steam games but I always end up back at OW
el_newg 05.04.20	rocket league is dope
anarchistfish 05.04.20	Rocket league usually precedes me one tricking OW
Trebor. 05.04.20	been playing video games all fucking day currently on Streets of Rage 4 and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order
mobman47 05.04.20	In the past week I've played Super Hot, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Alien Isolation, and FF6 (for the first time). I completed all of them with the exception of FF6. Holy shit that game is long! I'm understanding the hype behind it though, I can see how revolutionary this game may have been back in the SNES days. Thinking you reached the end of the game only to find out it was the halfway point in a really dramatic way is insane. As for the paste few months, one of the most notable games I played was Disco Elysium. Hands down probably my game of the year, the writing is spectacular and it makes some subtle changes to the CRPG format that I think we'll be seeing more of in the future. Particularly less emphasis on traditional combat, more emphasis on the writing, and implementing a D&D style method of combat where you say what you're going to do and then seeing what happens.
Gallantin 05.04.20	This last month I've been playing FF7R, Yakuza 0, Animal Crossing, and FF8. All of them GOAT material.
Gallantin 05.04.20	Also a bit of MH4U
alamo 05.04.20	wish this was a discussion on the lana del rey song video games
Deathconscious 05.04.20	Finished FFX a few days ago, had never played it before. Overall it was good but i have mixed feelings on it.
Keyblade 05.04.20	been playing donkey kong country returns, wind waker, assorted fighting games and mario odyssey occasionally
ReturnToRock 05.04.20	@deathconscious might have been cheaper to buy a PS1 and get the original xD
Deathconscious 05.04.20	I used to have the original on the PS1. I play all those older games on emulators these days.
Keyblade 05.04.20	u could also get the original on PS4 for what, 20 bucks? no need to get a whole ps1 lol
Deathconscious 05.04.20	Is it the original original though? I know they made some changes in other versions that i didnt like. Never fucking play the PC version, the music sounds awful.
Deathconscious 05.04.20	@dump totally disagree, but i did grow up with it so im biased. I still do a playthrough of it once in a while.
bigweinerdon 05.04.20	I only really rip nhl 20 and modern warfare. Both essentials to say the least. The Don Cocksentials if you will.
SymbolicInTime 05.04.20	I've been playing Super Paper Mario (solo), COD mobile (roommates), Super Mario Party (roommates), Yoshi's Wooly World (w/ wife), Lego Worlds (w/wife)
JokineAugustus 05.04.20	A Plague Tale: Innocence Wolfenstein The New Order (just beat it a few days ago The Outer Worlds Observer Life is Strange Metro 2033 and Last Light(gonna start them soon)
Egarran 05.04.20	>I’ve ploughed a few hours into Stellaris. Outstanding. Man I wish I had the patience for this. Think I started 5 games and never finished one. I should probably do a very easy small map.
bloc 05.04.20	Right now I am playing Axiom Verge and NFS Hot Pursuit from 2010, which btw, is hard as fuck
Deathconscious 05.04.20	"Its remastered but not massively. They've added features such as onstantly filling limit breaks with r3, speed up the game by 3x with l3, and no random encounters by clicking both" only thing i would want is the speed up option. i just dont like that they messed with the coloring and they gave Cloud these big dumb looking eyes and a mouth. and they also fucked with the music during an important scene. i guess im sorta purist when it comes to this game, i want it to stay how i remember it.
Emim 05.04.20	Did another play through of Witcher 3, finished out Borderlands 3, finished Control, beat Halo: Reach on legendary with my bro, finished Farcry 5 finally, played a bunch of Tony Hawk, started Doom, and played a shit load of Destiny 2 and Words with Friends.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Just beat ng+ on dark souls remaster for switch and nothing really tops souls ever Also been playing: Hyper light drifter, which now sits alongside katana zero as one of the best indie games I've ever played Animal crossing new horizons which is a great waste of life for me and the girlfriend Mario rabbids which is... ok The Messenger which doesnt live up to the hype and I've grown bored of in the second half. Writing in this game straddles the fence between comically profound and utterly cringe inducing. Octopath traveler which was a lot of fun if you skip all the cut scenes but becomes way too grindy and tedious way too fast and I'm over it. Astral chain which was good. Doom 3 cuz it was like a dollar but I stopped playing eventually because it is repetitive as fuck and nothing new ever happens
bloc 05.05.20	Katana Zero is crazy good
sonictheplumber 05.05.20	just oblivion
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Katana Zero is probably a bit easier, shorter, and more narrative oriented Hyper Light Drifter is more cryptic, gameplay oriented, and open world feeling. Both are massively atmospheric and similarly trippy and both have the two most immersive sound design/soundtracks of any indie game ive ever played. So you can't really go wrong. I'd say just get whichever is on sale first. Hyper light drifter might still be on sale right now depending on what you play it on
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	On the topic if anyone has any recommendations for games like katana zero, hyper light drifter, and hotline miami I cant get enough of that shit... Emphasis on synthy sound design, glitchy aesthetics, heavy atmosphere, disturbed characters, violent future dystopias
bloc 05.05.20	I've dl'd a fuck ton of games over the past few weeks and Hyper Light is one of them. Looking forward to it. Agrees KZ was a bit easier than I thought it would be, but it still is a challenge. Your reflexes need to be top notch, kinda like Hotline Miami
budgie 05.05.20	anyone play post scriptum
bloc 05.05.20	Lorde it's a long shot but try Bro Force, Party Hard, Crawl, and there's this ninja game from 2020 but I forget what it's called. They all have pixel graphics and action
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Yeah katana is definitely not 'easy' but just the rapid fire pacing for deaths and runs makes you get on the learning curve pretty quick and it's only a matter of attempts before you either luck out or get good Hyper light drifter was a bit unforgiving in forcing you to learn your enemies moves and tells so if you arent in to that it would probably be frustrating Its also non linear and there is exactly zero text dialogue so you really have to figure shit out for yourself and carve your own route
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	@bloc I've got broforce actually and it's fun and I'll check the rest but I wouldn't equate broforce to the aforementioned much, at least in terms of what I love about those
Chortles 05.05.20	Hyper Light Drifter is something else. and that score... fuck me dead, it's so good. beautifully integrated into traversal as well
bloc 05.05.20	Lorde if that's the case then prepare to be disappointed for the others I've mentioned lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Yeah disasterpeace deserves some kind of medal for that soundtrack, shit is next level.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Anyone ever play Furi or Creature in the well? They look interesting to me
Trebor. 05.05.20	"On the topic if anyone has any recommendations for games like katana zero, hyper light drifter, and hotline miami I cant get enough of that shit..." Ape Out. It's a lot simpler and the music is all percussion
budgie 05.05.20	disasterpeace ost for it follows is dope
budgie 05.05.20	eyyyy darius! my man
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	I know of ape out, not quite what I'm looking for but I do intend to get it some day
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Oh ya I forgot I also just started okami HD for the first time the other day
Gallantin 05.05.20	Pots play Furi Story gets in the way a lot but the gameplay is worth it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Aight b So is it just me or did nintendo passive aggressively rip okami off in retaliation for ripping ocarina of time off in both the art style of wind waker and then the..... literally everything in twilight princess lmao
aydross121 05.05.20	Furi is awesome. Still mindblown with Baba is You.
aydross121 05.05.20	Also because of covid I've been playing lot's of AoE II, good times.
budgie 05.05.20	aydross ever heard of 0A.D.?
aydross121 05.05.20	No. Looking into it atm, looks solid. It says it started as a mod for aoe.
aydross121 05.05.20	Looks a bit unpolished though, at least on the graphics/art side.
budgie 05.05.20	shit, never knew that!
Gallantin 05.05.20	In regards to Okami, I think Kamiya just wanted to make his own Zelda-style adventure game, and I have no idea as to what Nintendo's internal response was. Maybe they were inspired by Okami for Wind Waker. I hope so. It'd be nice to think Kamiya's work was ripped off by a dev as big as Nintendo. He deserves the recognition. Plus it means we get more amazing games. If the whole industry could make Wind Waker-tier ripoffs of all Kamiya's games then I'd be a happy man.
Keyblade 05.05.20	recently got okami hd on the switch, been meaning to play that game since it came out also wind waker hd just looks so good
FR33L0RD 05.05.20	Fallout4/Skyrim/Witcher3 (all moded to the core)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	Oh it's no knock against wind waker and twilight princess it's just funny Also yes wind waker HD was beautiful
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	The art resemblance between okami and wind waker (slash spirit tracks and phantom train or whatever the fuck) is uncanny, its just okami withou the super apparent sumi e lines. The character designs... their noses... lol. With twilight princess it's not the art but the fact that you basically fuckin turn into amaterasu and run around hyrule purging darkness from the land which is ~exactly~ like the entire premise of okami. Maybe coincidental, maybe inspiration, either way it's hilarious
Gallantin 05.05.20	Lol tru
JohnnyoftheWell 05.05.20	About to head out and track down a used ps4 so I can binge nioh 2 to oblivion in these coming weeks of big nothing
JohnnyoftheWell 05.05.20	Okami is high on my list for after tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.05.20	It's on sale a lot
R4zor3dge 05.05.20	Lately, I've been playing SMT4: Apocalypse Persona 4 Xenogears
Avagantamos 05.05.20	I've been playing pokemon rom hacks and old school runescappe
heyadam 05.06.20	Bout to start Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE encore — looks like it’ll be some stupid fun
DungeonBoy 05.06.20	What a coencidence just started playing hyper light drifter yesterday after finally beating nioh. Really digging it but have run into a few challenges just casually wandering around. The music is phenomenal
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.06.20	"have run into a few challenges just casually wandering around." like what?
evilford 05.06.20	I gave up on video games for over a decade and just within the last month have gotten back into by buying a ps4 and a bunch of games. Beat gta v most recently. Game was excellent, trevor is kinda annoying tho. God of war is hard I'd really, really love a metal gear solid game without the supernatural nonsense, but I guess that's asking too much. Reached the end of the first mission in Phantom pain, and got cornered by some supernatural alien soldiers or something and was like lol this is dumb and havent touched it since.
evilford 05.06.20	Oh also, the resident evil 2 remake is pretty sweet but I'm getting super tired of getting chased around by the tyrant in leon's 2nd run
Gallantin 05.07.20	The Phantom Pain is one of the best games ever made so suck it up and keep playing, nerd
Source 05.07.20	easily the worst of the 5 main mgs games
Gallantin 05.07.20	Gameplay-wise it's the best. Maybe tied with 3, since 3 has more depth to its systems.
Gallantin 05.07.20	But hell, even if I agreed that TPP was the worst mainline MGS, it would still be one of the best games ever made. I consider all mainline MGS games to be in like...the top ten.
R4zor3dge 05.07.20	The story was very mediocre in Phantom Pain.
Storm In A Teacup 05.07.20	I own Phantom Pain but have never played it, but it's the closest I ever got to playing a MGS game.
Storm In A Teacup 05.07.20	just bought FF VII. I played two hours of it as a kid before my mom looked at the screen and saw the word bitch and made me take it back to the store that same day. I never rolled my eyes more than that day. now I will get to finally see what the hype was all about.
Gallantin 05.07.20	The story was mediocre in all the MGS games, TPP is not unique in that regard lol
Gallantin 05.07.20	FF7 is good, even today. I played it for the first time this year. Very enjoyable
loveisamixtape 05.07.20	just started playing Dying Light and it’s fuckin sick. usually bored w zombie games also been playin warframe & destiny 2 lightly .... n also Octopath traveler n Spyro 2 on my switch lol
loveisamixtape 05.07.20	beat nioh 1 like a month ago and it also rules
aydross121 05.07.20	Someone recommend me good puzzle games like The Witness and Talos Principle
Gallantin 05.07.20	Best puzzle game is Baba Is You but its not like those games I played about 30 hours of Nioh earlier this year and thought I was close to the end, checked online to see how many chapters I had left bc it was dragging a bit and saw that I wasn't even halfway through. I love the combat and level design in that game but man it is way too long and the loot system is shit
aydross121 05.07.20	Oh I love Baba too
Egarran 05.07.20	Quick, what's the best dungeon crawler for android? I just wanna slay monsters for xp and loot.
osmark86 05.07.20	Baba looks fire. will get it as soon as it's on discount.
osmark86 05.07.20	I have to recommend Primordia if you're into classic 90s style point and click adventure puzzle games @aydross.
DungeonBoy 05.07.20	I agree Nioh is too long. I ran into the same issue where I actually looked up how many regions there were, I was on 3 or 4 ay the time, and the internet was like "keep playing the 2nd half of the game is worth it". They were right! But it definitely was too long for my taste.
aydross121 05.07.20	Thx osmark. I do like those point and click games.
osmark86 05.07.20	Also Disco Elysium. Fantastic game.
Gallantin 05.07.20	Disco Elysium was incredible, can't wait for it to hit consoles so I can buy it again
Egarran 05.07.20	It does sound like a great game, would I still like it if I'm not at all into crime and detectives?
JohnnyoftheWell 05.07.20	Nioh is such a go hard or go home game (designed 100% around the NG+s imo) that it being long makes a fair amount of sense
Gallantin 05.07.20	I think I'd be more willing to sink time into Nioh if it didn't have the loot system it does, but I mean the loot system is half the reason people play NG+ on it anyway so I just have to say it's not for me. Which is a shame because I truly to love the combat and level design. It's superb. @Egarran: man idk if you'd like it if yoh don't like crime and detective stuff but like...it's fucking brilliant. I think even if it's not your speed, it WILL draw you in
Egarran 05.07.20	Thanks! Woah 40 euros, I'll just put it on the wishlist for now.
Gallantin 05.07.20	It seems to go on sale fairly regularly from what I've seen, usually like 20% off. Keep an eye on it.
DungeonBoy 05.07.20	lol I don't F with NG+ ya nerds. I respect the dedication, but too many new games to check out. one and done for me. Nioh in the end, through one playthrough, was definitely great. I thought the loot system was fine, I only ever played with a sword and I never used the blacksmith once. Never needed to, and I used sloth for half the game, so whatever flame me boys, I can take it.
Gallantin 05.07.20	I like NG+ in certain games.
budgie 05.07.20	"Oh also, the resident evil 2 remake is pretty sweet but I'm getting super tired of getting chased around by the tyrant in leon's 2nd run" are you gonna get the RE3 remake? staaaaaaaaaaaars i tried out the demo and was like, how the fuck did 10 year old me beat this game lmao. speaking of horror game, i purchased alien:isolation for $2 the other day, haven't given it a run yet though only game i really have the heart to play these days is still post scriptum
Gallantin 05.07.20	Nemesis is way less scary/bothersome than Mr. X in the RE3 remake. He shows up for a few scripted setpieces and boss fights but otherwise doesn't impede on the main exploration.
DungeonBoy 05.07.20	that's good to know! I kinda loved, but also kinda really hated Mr. X. It was a constant rush, but I was so happy when it was over. They did it well, but also I hate it.
Gallantin 05.07.20	I personally prefer how RE2R did it, but I understand why people didn't like it. RE3R is great, but too fast paced for me. I liked the slow exploration of one big dungeon for RE2R, whereas RE3R is mostly comprised of many much, much smaller areas to explore before funnelling you through a few setpieces. It just feels very fast.
Gallantin 05.07.20	Although RE3R has a lot of great post-game options. Two additional difficulty modes and a plethora of purchasable items to change the gameplay. Fun game.
DungeonBoy 05.07.20	sweet, i'm gonna pick it up at some point. Currently playing Hyper Light Drifter, and have the RE1 remake on que after that. Pretty stoked about it since I never beat the original on the PS1, and it was on sale on the PSN. it looks really cool, but honestly I don't know if it's just the original reskinned, or if they added new content or what.
JokineAugustus 05.07.20	It's the gamecube remake, they just updated it for present consoles. I think there are a few costumes that are new too.
evilford 05.07.20	Re2r is sweet I'm just tired of running from tyrant in 2nd run And yeah mgs is my favorite series of all time so I'm sure I'll suck it up and keep playing. But just know I dont like supernatural overtones in my tactical espionage operations games!
Gallantin 05.08.20	If it helps, the amount of missions without weird supernatural stuff outweighs the amount of missions with them. That said most of my fave missions in that game are the ones that have spooky supernatural bullshit.
DocSportello 05.08.20	Been playing the Soulsborne games almost exclusively this year. Got the platinum for Bloodborne a few weeks ago (my first plat ever, and it never felt like a chore) and am working on DS1+3 now. Occasionally I'll dip into DS2, and it's not like it's horrible . . . just that I'd rather spend what little time I have for gaming playing anything else? Once I submit grades for my students early next week I'll have a lot more time for games. How badly do I need to play Sekiro? Is it worth the cash?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	To weigh in on ng+ I don't care about it on any games other than soulsborne. But in spulsborne I almost prefer it to ng, they are just that good
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	Loved both those games as a kid so much
Gallantin 05.08.20	Sekiro is a very good action game worth playing. It has a lot of issues but what it does well outweighs those issues. I think about it often. I need to go back and platinum it. I love NG+ in the Soulsborne games, but they don't do it too well, bc nearly all of them don't mix up enemy or item placements. Sekiro fails the hardest at it because all items become redundant on a second playthru. The games are just fun to play so NG+ works regardless of the problems it has. I love NG+ in the RE games, in games like Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, etc. where the first playthru is more like a tutorial and the following playthrus are where the real meat of the content is there. I wish more JRPGs had NG+ too. Playing through FF7 and 8 recently, I would kill to play these games on NG+, especially when 8 has a spell that you can only ever get from the final boss. It'd be great to go through the game and actually be able to use and junction that spell.
Gallantin 05.08.20	On that note, actually, Final Fantasy 7 Remake's NG+ is fantastic, with added content, skippable setpieces, neutered item use in hard mode, and modified enemies in hard mode. Really greag MG+ settings in that game.
osmark86 05.08.20	@DungeonBoy: Hyper Light Drifter is a really cool game, played it local coop with my brother over parsec. haven't finished it but think I might do a solitary run of it in the near future. quite possibly one of the prettiest games I've seen and I like the mysterious vibe it has.
osmark86 05.08.20	has anyone played Celeste? one of the most satisfying (and frustrating) gaming experiences I've had in a very long time. hadn't played hard platformers in a long time prior to giving this a go and holy damn I had forgotten how rewarding it feels to pull off a super precise sequence of timed moves after the 20th attempt basically holding your breath. the resulting huzzah of successful completion is such a relief.
aydross121 05.08.20	Yeah Celeste is hard as balls. The level design is on point.
Deathconscious 05.08.20	Had to do a long ass data disc download for FF7R, are all PS4 games like that?
osmark86 05.08.20	@aydross: going to go for Hollow Knight next. have you played it?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	Celeste is cool, found it pretty touching tbh. I havent beat the last level still tho lol, not sure I ever will
osmark86 05.08.20	grind it pots, it's worth it
DungeonBoy 05.08.20	Hell yeah osmark, dude HLD is stunning, i've beaten the East, and North bosses collected some sweet powerups, and just loving the mystery vibe (and zero dialogue) like you said. It's like the perfect indie game. I found a bunch of monoliths and was like wtf are these, and then I found a room showing all of the monoliths i've discovered on a giant wall (like hollow knight's grub fellas) and was like, okay sweet, so collect all these for something. The game doesn't tell you sh*t and i love that. Celeste was incredible, a bit overhyped, but an excellent platformer if you're into that supermeatboy thing, with a more touching narrative and soundtrack and less exploding meat.
osmark86 05.08.20	yeah I've only gone east and south myself. I agree though, you just have to discover what everything is all about in that game and play patient. really dig that about it. oh and how bloody gorgeous it looks and plays. Celeste lives up to all the hype imo. game was an absolute blast.
Gallantin 05.08.20	As far as I know, FF7 is one of the only multi-disc PS4 games, but it's worth it, because it runs so smoothly without any performance hitches, which is rare for PS4 games that look that good and are that visually/mechanically intensive. The game does suffer texture issues, but because performance is so perfect, it's a non-issue. There are other PS4 games that are bordering on, or over, 100gb, but I haven't seen any others with a sole install disc. But in general most PS4 games tend to be somewhere between 20-50gb.
loveisamixtape 05.08.20	did any of u with a ps4 get Journey when it was a free game? i thought it was rly cool
Gallantin 05.08.20	I don't remember RDR2 having two dics and I can't be bothered walking five feet to the shelf to check, but I'll take your word on it considering it's like 90gb and also runs incredibly well.
el_newg 05.08.20	yes red dead has 2 on ps4
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	"grind it pots, it's worth it" you know the savage ass portion in the last level where you start going vertical for eternity and reaching flags that count down to the top? i made it quite far up that and then had to quit and do some shit and i don't know if i quit wrong or what happened but when i opened the game back up it started me back at the fucking first flag and...... i just couldn't take it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	"I can't be bothered walking five feet to the shelf to check"
StarlessCore 05.08.20	potsy likes from soft rpgs? we r friends again
ConcubinaryCode 05.08.20	Modern Warfare is like 200 gigs now. I think black ops 4 was up there too. Red dead 2 is like half that and I have no idea why the CoD games are so bloated.
Gallantin 05.08.20	I was real cosy and just ate a big dinner, getting up to go check my copy of Red Dead did not seem worth it at the time
Gallantin 05.08.20	I have no idea either why those CoD games are so big. The size was the main reason I never bought the new Modern Warfare even though I was craving an FPS at the time. Just didn't seem worth it. Not even interested in it now. I mean if bloody Monster Hunter World and its expansion and all its updates aren't that big, CoD has no excuse. It's wild.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	"potsy likes from soft rpgs?" all time favs
ConcubinaryCode 05.08.20	Same Gall, I heard the new MW was dece but I can't be bothered to wait for the game+update to dl. Doom Eternal was a good fps romp so I got my fix there.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	I havent played a call of duty game since like 2009 or earlier I cant believe they are still pumping those out. Have they done anything to the freshen up the formula or is it still basically the same shit every time alternating between developers so that they can have one every year but only one developer makes any decent entries?
StarlessCore 05.08.20	what is ur fave from soft rpg
Deathconscious 05.08.20	Ive played Modern Warfare (the 2019 one) at my friends house. There is nothing new.
GhostB1rd 05.08.20	Still remember him describing them as dodging until you get behind the enemies and then poke them in the butt.
ConcubinaryCode 05.08.20	2009 is probably the last truly great cod. They tinkered with pseudo futuristic stuff but people got super pissed at that so it's basically regressed to where it was a decade ago again. There's been a few mechanical changes but it plays basically the same. It's also just ripped off mechanics from the better games around the time like the jetpack and wall running from Titan fall and heroes with kits like overwatch.
Gallantin 05.08.20	As far as I know it's basically the same shit. I haven't played one since 2011 though so I can't confirm. But when MW was announced I was like, yknow, it's been a while since I played a brown military shooter. But yeah fuck that file size. I got my FPS kick from Apex Legends last year anyway. Doom Eternal looks great, but I feel like games like Doom scratch a different itch than most other modern FPS games.
Anthracks 05.08.20	i have so many games in my backlog (100+) but every time I turn on a console I just play apex legends modern warfare is absolute trash. I loved black ops 2 and 3. 4 seems pretty great too but I haven't played it much. i'm in the minority in that I vastly prefer the mechanics in the treyarch games, and the map design is infinitely better than IW / sledgehammer maps which are designed to be way too campy
GhostB1rd 05.08.20	Feel like Far Cry is the go to for FPS reliability these days.
Gallantin 05.08.20	I played Far Cry 5 after a coworker convinced me to buy it with him day one I hated it
ConcubinaryCode 05.08.20	Far Cry is always solid. Campaign is w/e but they got gunplay down. I really liked crysis too.
ConcubinaryCode 05.08.20	I think people actually prefer treyaech games now. Sledgehammer was too inconsistent so they got merged back into the other two teams. This year went to treyarch which supposedly fucked them over cuz they lost an extra year of dev time essentially.
Anthracks 05.08.20	far cry has always just felt like elder scrolls as a shooter to me. not a fan. the mechanics seem really awkward and clunky. hyped for halo 6 better not suck
Gallantin 05.08.20	If Halo 6 sucks (almost certainly will), at least we have the original games all on PC now (well...soon)
ConcubinaryCode 05.08.20	Crazy how long games take to make nowadays. One halo game came out this gen when 360 got 4?
Anthracks 05.08.20	xbox 2, x360 3, x1 1 - just counting the main series the lack of success for h5 was probably a big reality check for xbox?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.08.20	"what is ur fave from soft rpg" probably ds1 tbh. although according to raging mouth-breathers it's apparently a mortal sin to have enjoyed ds2 in any capacity whatsoever and to not just hyperbolically loosen a rain of shits on it every time it's mentioned, i do love both that (especially scholar of the first sin) and ds3 pretty equally as well but i'd go with ds1 if i had to pic. there are aspects of each that i like better than the others but ds1 is just the most memorable. loved demon souls and bloodborne as well but they are the only two that i've played that i haven't beaten multiple times and with bloodborne i went in blind and it didn't pander to my pre-existing playstyle at all so i ended up with a regrettable build and had a reaaaal rough time with some of it because of that. also found the level design to be the most overtly homogenous of the bunch (ds3 rivals it in that regard, but gets better in the second half). haven't played sekiro or any of the old shit like armoured core
evilford 05.08.20	Can confirm, mw is not that great, and totally not worth the space. Probably will delete soon. Also finna play some phantom pain this wknd
JokineAugustus 05.09.20	Damn. I need to play more Phantom Pain. Warzone is fun with friends, but I agree about it taking up too much space.
aydross121 05.09.20	@osmark, yeah dude go for it. Hollow knight is like the best metroidvania game. It's very lengthy though.
Morningrise767 05.09.20	Borderlands 3 Thinking about playing through 1 and 2 again haha
Egarran 05.09.20	I finished 1 and it was the worst ending ever so now I hate that franchise
Thalassic 05.09.20	Can anybody rec me a solid gangster game?
rellik009 05.09.20	Before any of you flame me, yes, I understand Riot is flawed and the community is frequently toxic and blah blah blah, BUT, during the quarantine I've come to love League of Legends. As a competitive online game, it may be more accessible than Dota 2 but it combines incredible depth with simplicity so well regardless, and I just think LoL's take on MOBAs is one of the best to this day. I may be a bit biased because this game has been my introduction to MOBAs, but hey, still great, from the characters to the lore to the gameplay to the learning curve and etc, etc... Also, something amazing happened. I finished DK Country on SNES. With save states. Shut up.
rellik009 05.09.20	"Can anybody rec me a solid gangster game?" Did you play Mafia or Hotline Miami? (Also Postal 2 hehe)
Krpa 05.09.20	I'm playing Judgment which is a spinoff of Yakuza games with a detective protagonist. It's different enough to stand on its own and is set in a criminal underworld so that fits the gangster bill. Check it out.
Krpa 05.09.20	Also, on that Far Cry subject, I feel like it's a typical Ubisoft rehashed formula with awkward controls and movement compared to other shooters. I mean, moving your character is really stiff, at least on a controller. However, I really liked 2 and 5, 3 a little less and I couldn't stand 4. I mean, I don't hate them but I'm guessing they need to change it up a bit for the next sequel cause this formula is getting stale.
aydross121 05.09.20	One time I beat DK Country 2 on my phone ama.
aydross121 05.09.20	Also has anyone played this old school point and click detective game called Adventure Detective Barbie. I don't know how or why, but it's pretty good.
rellik009 05.09.20	"Adventure Detective Barbie" bwahahaha
Inoculaeted 05.09.20	The FF7 remake is almost too fucking weird to exist.
Gallantin 05.09.20	It's not any weirder than the original was
JohnnyoftheWell 05.09.20	Caved and ordered a ps4 today. here we go...
Inoculaeted 05.09.20	That’s why this is such a big mind fuck. 23 years will do a lot to your perception.
Deathconscious 05.09.20	"Also, something amazing happened. I finished DK Country on SNES. With save states. Shut up." i did that in grade school, without save states. can you see my muscles?
Demon of the Fall 05.09.20	Okay I give in, I’m absolutely shit at starting with new gaming franchises, so... Where to start with Soulsbourne games? (as a basic bitch who’s worried about it being ‘too hard’ but has decided to try and learn anyway). For clarification I love the aesthetic, enjoy RPGs generally but my casual idiot self is reluctant. I have access to a 360 & a PS4.
Deathconscious 05.09.20	Barret's voice actor is fucking awful, he sounds like Dennis Reynold's impression of Danny Glover.
Gallantin 05.09.20	If you dont have a PS3, then just start with Dark Souls Remastered and Bloodborne on PS4, if u like DS more play DS3 then 2, if you like BB more, play Sekiro Barrett's voice actor is gr8
Minushuman24 05.09.20	Souls 1 for sure. Playing bloodborne and Souls back to back though is rough, so be prepared for that. Also, recently bought Dead Rising for $5 on the PS4. I've been obsessed with it for the past week and a half.
Deathconscious 05.09.20	i know they were going for a stereotyped black guy accent in the original, but i always imagined more of a New Yorker accent for some reason.
Gallantin 05.09.20	Well in the original Japanese Barrett is actually a lot less racialised in his language, but the localisers really did a number on him and made his text all "ghetto" or whatever white dudes think black guys sound like I wasn't super hot on Barrett's voice actor in the remake for the first two chapters, but he gets much better later on as you see all his different shades. I think overall the voice actor did a fantastic job with the character.
Inoculaeted 05.09.20	Barret's voice actor is fucking awful, he sounds like Dennis Reynold's impression of Danny Glover. [2] Vibe of this game makes me feel very disconnected from what is happening culturally in Japan right now (or 23 years ago?). Having said that, I am still largely enjoying it and powering through the weird.
samwise2000 05.09.20	Been playing a lot of Shin Megami Tensei III. Also getting around to finally beating Earthbound, which is fantastic and deserves all the praise it gets
theacademy 05.09.20	i love king's back -> square+circle when it lands its so fucking cathartic
Thalassic 05.09.20	"Did you play Mafia or Hotline Miami? (Also Postal 2 hehe)" Played both Mafia and Hotline Miami. Postal's not what I'd call a gangster game haha
Deathconscious 05.09.20	"Having said that, I am still largely enjoying it and powering through the weird." i havent played it yet, i think im about to get to it here soon, but ive seen some clips of it and yeah. im just going in with the knowledge that there will be tons of cheese and some cringe and weird uncomfortable shit, but im going to try to embrace it and have a good time.
Inoculaeted 05.09.20	That's exactly the way to do it Deathconscious. Also, the current trend of games holding your hand and babying you through it rears it's head a bit. Just be prepared for a more linear experience than you remember from the original. I know that sounds like a pretty damning thing to say about it but it really is worth experiencing despite that imo.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	Should I play deadly premonition? It's on sale
Deathconscious 05.09.20	yeah i was disappointed to hear it would be so linear, i was really wanting to be set loose in Midgar, that would have been so cool.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	@demon I'm gonna have to disagree with what everyone else rec'd in regards to souls. Dont start with ds1 if you are worried about it being too hard. People are going to be chapped about this but start with ds2 (scholar edition). It's what I did and it was a great intro to the franchise and since a lot of people underrate it I feel that it's a good way to get the most enjoyment out of the series as everything you play from there will be either as good or better. But the most important reason is that the main game is a lot easier than 1 and 3 for the most part. The dlc stuff is pretty balls to the wall but it always is in those games. But there are some mechanics added in 2 and 3 that just objectively make it so you are going to have a less frustrating introduction. I did 2, 1, 3 and then demon souls I believe. I'd rec either doing that or 2, 3, 1 and then demon
Gallantin 05.09.20	The original FF7 is more linear than the remake
Inoculaeted 05.09.20	You may be technically correct Gallantin, but 1997 was a long time ago. Perception of linearity in video games have changed for me quite a bit since I was a teenager. GTA 3 and Skyrim happened since then. I might agree with you if I were to play OG FF7 today, but that is a cherished memory I'd prefer not to fuck with.
Gallantin 05.09.20	I played FF7 for the first time two months ago. It's an extremely linear game, the Midgar section especially.
Gyromania 05.09.20	Just can't get into FF games. Most overhyped franchise of all time imo. That said, I haven't tried the remake of 7 yet. Regarding what pots said about ds2.... I actually found this far less accessible than 1. 2 has a very wonky hitbox system and is much lrss forgiving than ds1 imo. I do agree that ds2 is underrated, but 1 and 3 are far superior to it imo
Gallantin 05.09.20	I mean each FF game is so completely different that judging it as a franchise seems a bit weird. There are FF games I love and FF games I hate. They're connected by name only. And yeah idk what pots is saying, DS2 is by far the least accessible and most unnecessarily punishing souls game. The half health, the fucking agility mechanics, the constant mobs and the design flaws in the world that create nuisances and generally just dont understand the point of geometry and shortcuts and shit. The even more deliberately obtuse covenant system. DS2 is the devs looking at all the "git gud" marketing for DS1 working and saying "hey lets make a game that needs you to git gudder". DS2 is a fundamentally flawed game that misinterprets everything that makes the series special and worth playing. I'm glad some people like it, but starting with DS1 is by no means the wrong choice. I started with DS1 on release day and it was a magical experience that hasn't left my mind for a decade. Always start with DS1. I'd even recommend starting with DeS if a PS3 was available. DeS has the half health mechanic as well, but it's not as bad in DeS because the rest of the game's mechanics aren't actively shitting on you like DS2's are.
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	I always assume when people say they hate linear ff games they mean they don't have the option of backtracking to certain areas even though there's rarely a reason to outside a few exceptions. The games always want you to go a set path and unfold in a set way. I get wanting to dick around the map but it never bothered me when you can't do it 100% of the time. Sometimes your ass needs to have a finger pointing you in the direction otherwise shit just waits for eternity until you stop racing chocobos at gold saucer.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	entirely disregard anything snox says about the dark souls franchise as if you aren't autistic any issues he has with ds2 and ds3 will be entirely imperceivable to you
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	Also anyone else find souls dlc to be pretty underwhelming?
Shadowmire 05.09.20	no
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	souls dlc is literally the best/hardest part of all three games lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	i wish the dlc for ds1 was longer tho and kalameet is probably the easiest dragon in the entire franchise but overall it was still dope
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	Only dlc I really liked was artoria of the abyss and ringed city. Ds2 dlc is OK but w/e. I never played old hunters though. Ds1 dlc is great because it's so small. Excellent boss fight with knight artorias.the dragon fight is a spectacle and the quest is fun.
Shadowmire 05.09.20	old hunters is the single best part of soulsborne for me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	ds2 dlc is pretty fucking mean. the commute to sir alonne is one of the worst commutes ever but damn is it a good boss fight. fume knight was a fucking blast too but fuck blue smelter demon to death.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	also fuck sinh as one of the hardest dragons in the franchise
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	Difficulty isn't always a + for me. I just like the cool looking shit and the mind fuckery the game can pull off.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	oh im definitely not saying difficulty is always a + not a big fan of rage quitting
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	Favorite bosses? Design, moveset, lore, or anything else?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	"Excellent boss fight with knight artorias" one of the best boss fights in the game yeah but was also one of the hardest on ng+ for me "the dragon fight is a spectacle " meh. professor x the dragon was pretty weak but i do appreciate that he was manageable
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	"Favorite bosses? Design, moveset, lore, or anything else?" bosses? artorias, sif, gwyn, gaping dragon, sir alonne, fume knight, abyss watchers, dancer of the boreal valley, lothric and bro, slave knight gael ... to name a few for lore im a big fan of the whole artorias thing where you go back and save the day in his armour and he gets all the credit and then you murder his girlfriend and his best friend like a total piece of shit and then save his dog so that you can murder it in the future
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	That's just savage dude. I think Nito is pretty neat-o 😉 Also can't forget my main man Pinwheel. For BB these are basic bitch picks but I dig Vicar Amelia, Rom despite his annoying stupid spiders, and gehrman
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	as for move sets i pretty much universally have used greatswords and ultra greatswords until this last ds1 run where i used a halberd and i was a big fan of it. the one handed roll + r1 and the dash + r1 are godly as is the dual wield r2 i also love the smelter demon greatsword that thing is hilarious. there are a lot of pretty insane move sets in ds3 like i think the abyss watchers sword maybe where you sweep around on the ground
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	yeah nito is great too agreed but pinwheel has got to be one of the easiest bosses in the franchise lol. love his masks tho, i rep the child mask.
CosmicPie 05.09.20	You like Sekiro, Pots?
Gyromania 05.09.20	idk pots, snox is spot on with what he said regarding geometry in dark souls 2, and especially with the density of gank squads. i mean look at the run to the executioner's chariot, that is some fucking hot garbage. impossible to run to since it takes an hour to pass through the fog wall, and fighting your way through is tedious as hell because their damage output is insane and fighting them ends up being a huge chore. there are so many instances of this where the game just throws a shit ton of enemies at you in an unfair space. i have way more issues with the map now than i used to. how tf does earthen peak transition into the iron keep? how come far off areas don't make geographical sense (heide's tower of flame when looking from firelink). i will always defend ds2 as a great game, but ds1 is better in every category and far less punishing. ds2 has so much artificial difficulty in it it's insane - especially in the dlc. i mean, have you fought the king's pets? the real boss battle is the journey to them. 20 minutes in winter fuckland just to get ganked by a poorly designed boss fight. a reskin of smelter demon in another terrible run up to the boss? yay. and who can forget the infamous gank squad in the first dlc huge props for your boss list though. those are all in my top 15 for sure (maybe minus gwyn... i mean, awesome lore, but the boss itself is kind of w.e). gaping dragon doesn't get enough credit. i find the fight really easy but it's just such a cool design and its moveset is sweet
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	worst boss in souls franchise has got to be that fucking librarian dude in i think demon souls i know a lot of people give that title to bed of chaos but there really are a good handful of remarkably awful boss fights in those games that rival it
Minushuman24 05.09.20	It was mentioned early, but yea SMT3: Nocturne Rules. All of the big four boss fights from Souls 1 are pretty trash Best soulsbourne fight for me is probably O&S or maybe Gehrman
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	Pinwheel was just a jest. Ds1 has a decent few joke bosses. I gotta agree Ds2 probably isn't the best to start with but I'm bias because Ds1 was my first and the world is just so satisfying to get around. It's like a resident evil mansion or a metroid map. Always pick the master key too cuz I don't fuck with capybaras demon or gaping dragon.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	"i mean look at the run to the executioner's chariot, that is some fucking hot garbage. impossible to run to" i run to it every time no problem. " will always defend ds2 as a great game, but ds1 is better in every category and far less punishing" already said ds1 is my favourite thats not the topic. and whether or not its less punishing is debatable, ds1 has some of the most punishing bosses and painful commutes in the series. i also already said ds2 dlc is much harder than the base game.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	ds2 base game is the easiest by far yall just suck at it i guess
zakalwe 05.09.20	It’s all about design and atmosphere. DS1 is the greatest example of it ever in gaming history. DS2 had absolutely none whatsoever. An area to area slog with fucking rubbish bosses.
Gyromania 05.09.20	minushuman: o&s is so overrated imo, but it's a good fight. honestly way in the minority here but i think friede is a way better 2v1 fight. pots: i've tried to run that several times and i always get hit at the fog gate lol. i mean, they're pretty damn quick to follow you and their whips reach far. as for ds1, i think the only boss that is flat out complete bs is bed of chaos. otherwise most are easy. i tend to do the black knight halberd run though so maybe that has something to do with it
Minushuman24 05.09.20	DS2 blows, but to be fair I never beat it. I might do that soon. Hm.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	tl;dr if you want to obligatorily hate ds2, dickride the nerdwagon, and have a shitty time playing it definitely play it last, if you want to enjoy the whole series play it first
Gyromania 05.09.20	context: ds2 is an 8.5/10, ds 1 is a 10/10, ds 3 is a 9.5/10
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	People are a bit harsh on the level design of Ds2. Doesn't have the cohesion of 1 but they're still pretty fun to explore.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	" i've tried to run that several times and i always get hit at the fog gate lol. i mean, they're pretty damn quick to follow you and their whips reach far." i always run across the bridge and jump to that little side section where no one can get you and then they pretty quickly just fuck off and you can walk right through!
Gyromania 05.09.20	lmao omg! they actually leave? i figured they'd just keep circling that area. okay i take that back then, maybe that part isn't the worst thing ever
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	people are just harsh on ds2 in general. ds1 map is the best yeah but ds2 map is easily comparable to ds3. the first half of ds3 is imo the worst most monotonous series of areas of all three. ds3 has the highest ratio of quality bosses... ds1 has some of the best bosses and some of the absolute worst
Gyromania 05.09.20	gonna make a list today about castlevania games as well as metroidvanias and other old school and newskool platformers. been on a huge platforming and metroidvania kick lately
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	"lmao omg! they actually leave? i figured they'd just keep circling that area. okay i take that back then, maybe that part isn't the worst thing ever" yeah. but that boss fight sure is...
hxciluvatarhxc 05.09.20	Been playing a lot of another eden and remnant from the ashes good stuff
Gyromania 05.09.20	agreed hard that ds3 has the highest ratio of quality bosses. can't think of many instances in ds3 where i got overly pissed off at a boss or called something poorly designed. i do think midir is tedious as shit to fight, but i did beat him.
zakalwe 05.09.20	Sekiro was disappointing. Made it to the final boss twice attempted it about 4 times on both occasions and just didn’t have the gumption or will for it. I just couldn’t be arsed, the game had sucked all enjoyment from me.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	fuck dragons. i was mistaking sinh earlier for midir that piece of shit. both are hard but yeah midir can fuck off forever
hxciluvatarhxc 05.09.20	Sekiro was boring agreed.
zakalwe 05.09.20	‘Fuck dragons’ Is that DLC?
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	Sekiro is good just for birthing that glorious copy pasta.
Gyromania 05.09.20	kalameet is the only dragon boss of theirs i actually enjoy, primarily because it didn't take an hour to beat. ancient dragon is maybe the most shit boss they've ever made. oh the dragon from sekiro is a rly good example of a spectacle boss done right (unlike yhorm from ds3)
Gyromania 05.09.20	sekiro is awesome. sword saint is one of from's best fights
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	"context: ds2 is an 8.5/10, ds 1 is a 10/10, ds 3 is a 9.5/10" pretty much exactly what id rate them too... demon souls id maybe give a 7 but i'd have to play it again. i thought kalameet was a tad TOO easy which i almost hate myself for saying considering how awful some of the other dragons are.
Shadowmire 05.09.20	i like sekiro less than every actual soulsborne game but i still thought it was pretty good
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	ive heard sekiro is actually one of the easiest/most forgiving souls games if you actually take a minute to properly learn the mechanics
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	If you like parrying in souls games sekiro should be a cakewalk for you. You can stealth kill like 90% of mobs too. It's decent but a lot more streamlined for a souls game.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	i can't parry for shit and it made my bloodborne run a fucking nightmare because i didn't realize how crucial gun parrying is and levelled up my fucking watering can instead
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	it also made fighting other hunters especially gruelling
Shadowmire 05.09.20	i am also bad at parrying but the timing window is much more loose in sekiro because the entire game revolves around it
ConcubinaryCode 05.09.20	You do have to learn certain techniques depending on the enemy though. Those Lance welding dudes took me a while to get down exactly. Oof on going gun less in bloodborne. That's impressive you beat it with minimal uses. Those hunter fights were some of the best fights otherwise. It helps you just have to kill them once too lol
zakalwe 05.09.20	I’m useless at partying as well. Bloodborne was incredibly forgiving though and is actually master-able fairly early in the game. Even sekiros parrying technique thing is relatively easy compared to DS1. I’m still shit at it and have played that game for about 1000hrs all in all.
Gyromania 05.09.20	"i'm useless at partying" haha awesome typo
zakalwe 05.09.20	I’m shit at that now as well. Skills have deserted me.
Slex 05.09.20	i've got the rona so i've been doing nothing but sleeping and playing video games, currently playing Doom Eternal, Pokemon Shield, Streets of Rage 4 and so much Rocket League. Currently deliberating between Control, Divinity 2 and Darksiders Genesis
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	@conc well full disclosure I didnt beat the dlc lol just the main game. Lady maria made me give up.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.20	Slex sorry to hear you caught the bad-bad hope it is mild.
Gyromania 05.09.20	haven't known anyone yet to have covid 19, hope you're doing all right. btw how is streets of rage 4? was thinking of picking it up
ConcubinaryCode 05.10.20	Would we be allowed to set up game trades?
Slex 05.10.20	Streets of Rage 4 is a bit of a mixed bag but very fun. Art style, soundtrack and enemy design is phenomenal. Just wish there were more characters and combos to pick from. Appreciate y'all as well thx
aydross121 05.10.20	Sekiro rivals DS3 for best boss quality ratio imo. Hardest final boss by far too.
JokineAugustus 05.10.20	Beat A Plague Tale. Solid story game with some good puzzles with the rats.
evilford 05.10.20	Sorry slex, get better man. If streets of rage 4 is on ps4 I've definitely gotta consider gettin that. Snox I've played thru mission 6 of mgs5. Your advice to suck it up and take the bad with the good was great. Game fucking rules
evilford 05.10.20	And this realization comes directly after a goofy battle with the skulls
Anthracks 05.10.20	I didn't enjoy an mgs game until mgs5 - well snake eater was pretty good up until the sniper battle
Anthracks 05.10.20	control was good. a bit overhyped but still like an 8/10 game. the story is weird in a pretty dumb way imo - as someone who appreciates weird - but it's still fun. darksiders genesis is also surprisingly good. i'm playing it split screen co-op and aside from the blurring it's a good time in 1-2 hour bursts.
Slex 05.10.20	Yeah I'm leaning towards Genesis for my Switch, seems like it'd be a fun pick up and play kind of game
ConcubinaryCode 05.10.20	I feel people always hype up Remedy games and I always end up checking them out and being a little let down. They're definitely solid but the games always have a lot of baggage. Quantum Break was pretty fun to play though Always wanted to play MGS games but by got is that control scheme bizaare
Anthracks 05.10.20	the core gameplay in control is very solid. the shooting feels fantastic - unlike in alan wake. it's surprisingly challenging for a story driven third person shooter, too. it isn't hard, but you cant walk through the game
Gallantin 05.10.20	Whaaaat? The sniper battle in MGS3 is the best boss fight in gaming history @ford ayyyy glad to hear it. People are too eager to shit on MGSV but it's one of my favourite games ever, I'm never not in the mood to play it Control is great. The combat is awful and the game is so poorly optimised for consoles that it was a slog to get through large encounters. But that story is fantastic, I love exploring the world, finding all the data files is wonderful because every single one is written fantastically and they're always interesting. I just love that X-Files shit. It really hits me good. My Souls ratings: Dark Souls - 5/5, Bloodborne - 4.5/5, Demon's Souls - 4.25/5, Sekiro - 4.1/5, Dark Souls 3 - 3.2/5, Dark Souls 2 - 0.5/5
evilford 05.10.20	Dude the sniper battle with the end was fucking legendary lol. That's my favorite boss battle in the entire series So far, the story is pretty weird and not in a good way lol, but everyone saying the gameplay in mgs5 is the best in the series, they're probably right
Gallantin 05.10.20	@conc - control schemes will definitely fuck you up in every MGS game except V, and maybe 4. I say play MGSV if you're interested. The story won't make any sense but you can pretty safely ignore it after the opening couple missions. I just finished FF8 and now I don't know what to do for games. Dunno if I should go back and plat FF7R, play FF9, Ni No Kuni, Resonance of Fate, The World Ends With You, Granblue Fantasy Versus, or maybe just do a Bloodborne or Sekiro playthrough. Maybe chill with some indie games on Switch for a bit...hmm
evilford 05.10.20	@snox I honestly havent seen many people shitting on mgs5. Read a fair amount of reviews for it over the last couple of years and pretty much all of them say "the story is weird, the game is hard, it's a departure for longtime fans and it's still one of the best games ever made"
evilford 05.10.20	But yeah I'm only on mission 7 but I'd be surprised if this didnt end up being one of my favorite games, its fucking stellar
R4zor3dge 05.10.20	"The story is weird" I haven't heard anyone say that.
evilford 05.10.20	That's one of the main points I remember taking away from multiple reviews
evilford 05.10.20	Unless I'm just transposing that onto them because that's what I think :D
R4zor3dge 05.10.20	lol. The main complaint others seem to have is that the story is bare bones in contrast to previous games.
Gallantin 05.10.20	The story is pretty weird And unfinished The more time I spend with the game the less problems I have with it though After so many hours playing MGSV, I kinda like the story a lot. It's weirdly comforting. Even the fact that it's unfinished when the game still feels so full. Idk. It's a weird feeling. I love it.
R4zor3dge 05.10.20	Story aside, I still enjoyed it. The side missions were fun.
tenderscum 05.10.20	FF7R right now, never played the original but I'm into it hard (chapter 14 I think...). It has its glaring issues but I'm in love with the world, characters, combat and tone. Then I need to plat Judgment (gonna be tedious but great game), Death Stranding, and Nioh 2 before the dlc. I'm near addicted to the min/maxing aspect to the series and just fine tuning a build for those beautiful numbers (Nioh 2). I bought the Arkham trilogy and I already had to push through Asylum but very tempted to give up with City. It's just not my kind of game. I'm having a hard time with it, not difficulty-wise, but staying engaged.
ConcubinaryCode 05.10.20	MGS5's only complaint seems to be the story never got finished. Who knows what was going on behind the scenes though. I only need to beat the joy prototype and like 5 more chapters on hard for the ff7r plat but I'm stuck on the second abzu fight. I can get him down to super low hp but his desperation move just swamps my party.
ConcubinaryCode 05.10.20	@gall definitely play ff9. It's so fucking fun.
Gallantin 05.10.20	Yeah, might do FF9. May as well since I already did FF7, FF7R, and FF8 this year.
R4zor3dge 05.10.20	"Who knows what was going on behind the scenes though" Konami was on some bullshit. They were (and probably still are)treating their employees like trash. The ones that haven't left anyway.
ConcubinaryCode 05.10.20	Konami apparently has ties to yakuza which is fucking crazy. Crunch is a pretty big deal for western dev teams but Konami actively punishes their employees by making them do shit like clean the bathroom or stay in a room for their whole shift doing a single repetitive task. When Kojima left I think most of his team came with him though.
R4zor3dge 05.10.20	Konami has ties to Yakuza???
Gallantin 05.10.20	yea
Muhlysa 05.10.20	During the lock down when my work allowed me to stay home the games I played were: Hotline Miami, The Binding of Isaac, Undermine( sorta like Gungeon, rouge-light), and Rim World.
Deathconscious 05.10.20	FF9 is top tier Final Fantasy.
DungeonBoy 05.10.20	Definitely dude, one of my favs. There is a pretty insane sale right on the PSN web store. Just picked up: Gris, Ruiner, Darkwood, Broforce, and Guacamelee, on top of needing to play, Resident Evil (remake), Dragon's Dogma, Anodyne, Sundered, and Little Nightmares, and am having some serious option paralysis. Any suggestions, friends?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	Gris is gorgeous. Broforce is hilarious.
DungeonBoy 05.11.20	I think I'm gonna play Gris. I've had my eye on it for a while and it finally went on sale Thanks man!
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	It's short and simple but really just gets progressively more and more breathtaking. I felt critical for the first half hour or so but by the end I was completely sold. Sound design is lovely and the art is just glorious.
Minushuman24 05.11.20	I just platinumed Dead Rising. Now to move onto something else
rellik009 05.11.20	Anyone tried Nioh 2 here? I'd like to try the game but it looks extremely frustrating.
rellik009 05.11.20	"Gris, Ruiner, Darkwood, Broforce, and Guacamelee, on top of needing to play, Resident Evil (remake), Dragon's Dogma, Anodyne, Sundered, and Little Nightmares, and am having some serious option paralysis. Any suggestions, friends?" BROFORCE!!! That game is the definition of hilarity. Always gets my adrenaline pumping at unhealthy levels lel You should probably try Not A Hero, it's about as hilarious as Broforce(but more tryhard in that sense). The gameplay is different and more composed, but it's incredibly fun too. Additionally the "main" protagonist is a purple humanoid rabbit. What else do you need?
Gallantin 05.11.20	If you can play Nioh 1, you can play Nioh 2 It's only frustrating if you're not particularly familiar with action games
ConcubinaryCode 05.11.20	Little nightmares is awesome. I really liked the dlc too. It's not that long either (like 4 hours total) so I'd rec that easily.
DungeonBoy 05.11.20	nice, i almost chose that, I think i'll play Gris, Anodyne, and Little Nightmare, then Broforce lol, we live in some truly amazing times for video games.
Gallantin 05.11.20	I bought Anodyne on sale for like a dollar a few months back. Hope it's good.
budgie 05.11.20	i enjoyed little nightmares, fun tim burtons vibes
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	Anyone play this hellblade senuas sacrifice game?
Gallantin 05.11.20	I played a couple hours of it when it came out Shit puzzles Bare bones combat Way too much walky talky psychedelic oooh shes so mentally ill nonsense
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	I mean the entire thing is supposed to be about psychosis so if "way too much walky talky psychedelic oooh shes so mentally ill nonsense" is your take I'll wait to hear from someone a bit more sensitive and empathic than you before I decide
Gallantin 05.11.20	Maybe a good choice I just don't think an action puzzle game was a good setting to put a deep story about psychosis And even if it was the best setting, they could have done it better As for how well they actually depict it, I've heard good things. I did not finish it to see how it concluded. But reception on its handling of the subject matter has been positive.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	Yeah that's kind of more what I'm looking for because the content intrigues me deeply and I think it's a touching idea so its more of a question of whether it is done effectively or not
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	On an aside if I were to play one of the resident evil games from the eshop what would you rec? After I finish okami I kind of want to play a couple new aaa titles and take a little break from indies and I need ideas
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	Are any of the assassins creed games worth playing? A shit load of those are on eshop
Gallantin 05.11.20	Ah well yeah if you're interested on Senua for the subject matter then I was definitely the wrong person to answer, soz If you want more action-oriented, RE4 and 5 are what I'd recommend first, I think they're both brilliant, especially if you have someone to play co-op for RE5. If you want survival horror, start with RE1 without a doubt. If you like RE1, and if you're on PS4/XBO/PC, dive straight into the new 2 and 3 remakes (best played together as one experience). If you're really into those then you can play 0, Revelations, and Revelations 2, but they're not so essential. As for Assassin's Creed...I liked the first 3 games back upon release but didn't like anything from Revelations onwards. I don't know if even those first three games will have aged well for me. I hear good things about Odyssey and Origins but I can't vouch for them.
el_newg 05.11.20	ezio trilogy is classic for the old style of AC games. and black flag is good too. origins and odyssey are pretty different, very RPG inspired. odyssey especially wears its Witcher 3 influences on its sleeves if tht interests you.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	toight
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	i liked the witcher so yeah i could fucks with that
Faraudo 05.11.20	"As for Assassin's Creed...I liked the first 3 games back upon release but didn't like anything from Revelations onwards. I don't know if even those first three games will have aged well for me. I hear good things about Odyssey and Origins but I can't vouch for them." Odyssey can be a bit grindy at times, but I loved the general RPG mechanics of it, the world map is absolutely beautiful and the story is generally great. The game is massive and there's a shit ton of things to do. That can be a good thing (If you enjoy the game and it's several perks/trappings) or a bad thing (If you want to get things done quickly and move the story forward). Overall I really like it and I still play it regularly after a year of getting it. On the other hand, I'm playing Horizon Zero Dawn atm and holy shit, I've been missing a top notch game. One of my favorite PS4 exclusives so far.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	horizon zero dawn was a blast
Faraudo 05.11.20	I'm level 12 right now, so I've got a long fucking way to go. Loved every minute of it so far, the map is quickly becoming one of my favorites
Chortles 05.11.20	Wish I loved Horizon like so many others seem to. I got pretty far into it and was enjoying it for the most part, but at some point realized I didn't really care about the story and also just didn't want to sit through another thousand janky facial animations on Aloy. The combat loop rules like no other though and of course the game looks spectacular
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.11.20	hahaha aloy does have a stupid fucking face agreed
ConcubinaryCode 05.11.20	The psychosis stuff in senua is really well done on top of some pretty cool depictions of demons in the first few acts. Combat really isn't the focus so you're better off just throwing it on easy and experiencing the story otherwise the enemies are just damage sponges. There's some really cool set pieces too. The puzzles aren't so much bad as they are one note. They tie in the Norse mythology stuff which is kinda shaky when they try to tie it to the psychosis stuff but it's ok. Worth a play through imo just don't expect a masterpiece. Also get RE4. 0 is awful. Re Rev games are OK but definitely a step down quality wise. 1 is a classic but the modern controls don't go well with the camera angles so get used to tank controls. 5&6 suck solo but coop is decent. Both pale to 4. The 30$ price tag is bullshit though. Wait for a sale.
JokineAugustus 05.11.20	Any horror fans check out Layers of Fear and SOMA.
JokineAugustus 05.11.20	Senua's Sacrifice was a good game. Fantastic atmosphere.
ConcubinaryCode 05.11.20	Soma is genius layers of fear left me very underwhelmed. Observer was way better though and their new game has Akira yamaoka so I'm psyched to play that when it drops.
JokineAugustus 05.11.20	Also Little Nightmares is one of the creepiest games I have ever played. I still have to beat Observer one of these days. I'll look into their new game.
Deathconscious 05.12.20	I just got to Seventh Heaven. A lot of it might just be nostalgia glasses, but im loving FF7R. Its so cool seeing all of these old iconic scenes and characters and environments re-done with updated graphics and being able to look around those environments instead of having the fixed angle.
Gallantin 05.12.20	RE4 has the exact same tank controls as RE1 RE5 rules don't put bad info in his head
aydross121 05.12.20	Anyone playing the new xcom?
budgie 05.12.20	aw little nightmares isnt creepy its adorbs
Gallantin 05.12.20	I bought the new XCOM but havent had a chance to play yet
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.12.20	Little nightmares looks awesome
budgie 05.12.20	game reminded me a lot of coraline too
rellik009 05.12.20	the polygon soundoff in the trailer is pretty accurate
Gyromania 05.12.20	little nightmares is cute. it's fun for like $10, doesn't have any replay value though
rellik009 05.12.20	ah? why?
JohnnyoftheWell 05.12.20	"Anyone tried Nioh 2 here? I'd like to try the game but it looks extremely frustrating." If you can play Nioh 1 you can play Nioh 2 [2] started this last night - there's a lot of new mechanics and additions to the combat system that will probably make gameplay a bit intimidating for anyone who hasn't played Nioh 1, but this means the game tends a bit less towards builds and more towards the player making the most of their movepool. In other words, it's a rough difficulty curve (as per all these games), but Nioh 2 is ultimately more accessible, 'fair' and user-friendly - it asks a lot of you, but dishes out more than enough tools for you to deal with. Boss and level design have both been stepped up from what I've seen, and the story doesn't blow this time around. Hyped to play on.
DungeonBoy 05.12.20	RE5 was pretty fun, RE6 though.. that's where I draw the line At some point I'm gonna check out Nioh 2, but I just finished beating the first one last week and I need a break. I remember when it first came out people were saying it was harder than the souls games, but I had the complete opposite experience. I found Nioh to be relatively easy, a lot of the time, I mean I definitely died.. like a lot.. but the game is also very bountiful with healing elixers, which kinda changes everything if you are monitoring your health. Also.. the story of 1.. was there a story? I don't even know, I lost track in the beginning, and the main bad guy's name was Kelly.. just Kelly.. but at least the gameplay made up for it
Gallantin 05.12.20	Yeah, I don't think Nioh is any harder than Souls games, aside from the fact that its combat is deeper and harder to master.
Gallantin 05.12.20	But in terms of actual challenge, it's not like a huge gap. I've had a harder time with some Souls bosses than anything in Nioh.
Chortles 05.12.20	I had a lot of trouble getting used to switching stances in the beginning of Nioh, but yeah, after that it didn't really feel more or less difficult than a Souls game. Very satisfying to master that system though, I wish other aspects of that game were as good
Anthracks 05.12.20	well keep in mind most people who play nioh have already played through a couple souls games so you're going to be more well-equipped and prepared, in terms of basic strategies and dexterity
Gallantin 05.12.20	I think they draw on different skill sets. I feel like those familiar with character action games will have an easier time going into Nioh than those familiar with Souls titles.
Gallantin 05.12.20	I'm familiar with both though so I can't bring any validity to these claims
beefshoes 05.12.20	Anyone else hardcore into Metroidvanias? Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is my all time favourite game, and Hollow Knight is pretty high on that list, given how much it borrows from Dark Souls in terms of both challenge and design. I'm also a massive Mega Man fanboy.
Gallantin 05.12.20	Metroid style games are great yeah
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.12.20	I kind of want to grab the two megaman x bundles on sale but I want to play them like you could on the snes classic where I can cheat and save lol
osmark86 05.12.20	I feel like I should really play DS1...
osmark86 05.12.20	So......any other Rocket League addicts itt?
osmark86 05.12.20	Been playing through the Trine series with my brother too. So many good laughs from basically breaking the game with bonkers mechanics combos. Box wizard op.
Dmax28 05.12.20	Rocket league has been pretty much the only game I've played for the last 5 years. I always met a friend on there that I have been playing with for 5 years. I'm champ 3 in doubles and standard. It is such a rush it's hard to believe how good it is. It's so damn awesome. Like a real sport you can play in your room
beefshoes 05.12.20	You gotta get the Mega Man Legacy collections! The X collections are decent too, but the X series got really weak after 5, making the second part a bit lackluster.
osmark86 05.12.20	Cool, been playing for almost 2 yrs and I'm currently c1 (3s) since last time I played ranked about 2 months ago. Think I could push for c2 now if I have a good run with decent tms. Love the game!
osmark86 05.12.20	Also RLCS is a blast to watch. Players like jstn, aztral, alpha54 and garrettg just blow me away.
evilford 05.12.20	Just beat quiet in mgs5. Chose to not kill her and bring her back to base. Should be interesting The combat deployment thing is pretty sweet too. I like the "build an army" management aspect of the game. Super fun so far Although I will say, the sniper battle with quiet was good but nowhere near as intense or fun as the sniper battle with the end in mgs3. That shit is what fucking legends are made of
el_newg 05.13.20	im around diamond in rocket league, love the game so fun :D
Gwyn. 05.13.20	the new final fantasy 7 remake has some really bad pacing, there is so much fluff and the story is so slow
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.13.20	Fuck I thought rocket league was the dumbest shit ever but tbh I was probably just bitter that I was so terrible at it lmao
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.13.20	For the most part I dont like competitive online games in general tho because I'm too casual to get good enough for it to be fun
el_newg 05.13.20	yah im the same, but rocket league is so mechanically sound, it really got its hooks in me. once you start flying around hitting aerial goals it just feels so awesome
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.13.20	It's so fucking hard lmao gahh I'm sure it's immensely satisfying once youre able to start intercepting and hitting air balls and shit
JokineAugustus 05.13.20	R6 is the only game I play competitively on occasion.
evilford 05.13.20	Just finished mission 12 with the metal gear and getting emmerich out. What a fucking pain in the ass mission
JokineAugustus 05.13.20	Still gotta go back to that. You play on PC or console?
loveisamixtape 05.13.20	i play rocket league way too much sometimes lol it’s addicting
evilford 05.13.20	@jokine me? Ps4
Gallantin 05.13.20	The pacing in the FF7R is fine, and the "fluff" is no worse than literally anything you have to do in the original game (I'd argue it's better) There's only one chapter is where I'd argue the story is paced very badly, but that's my favourite chapter in the game so it's fine
Gallantin 05.13.20	@ford: MGSV's Sahelanthropus missions are a bit of a chore, but they're few and far between
evilford 05.13.20	Sahelanthropus (sp?) Was chasing me around this section of highway. I was in that mini-mech, carrying emmerich, trying to elude the big guy and get on the chopper. He kept dipping to like ten feet and then "theres an obstruction in the LZ! Please remove asap!" Happened like 10 times I was fucking yelling at the tv no joke lol
osmark86 05.13.20	"It's so fucking hard lmao gahh I'm sure it's immensely satisfying once youre able to start intercepting and hitting air balls and shit" hahahah yes it's hard as balls and it takes hours upon hours to start getting decently consistent at hitting aerials, but it's worth it. the game just gets more and more fun the better you get at it (if you can deal with the increased toxicity ofc). once you score your first air dribble goal you'll be hooked for good ^^
osmark86 05.13.20	just starting playing some coop Risk of Rain 2 as well. first rougelike game I've tried and must say that it's a lot of fun blasting through hordes of enemies knowing you only have one life to get to the end as the difficulty slowly increases to insanity levels. truly a chilltense game that both looks good and plays fantastically. has anyone else tried it?
el_newg 05.13.20	not played Rick of Rain myself but I have watched a bit of it, and yeah you are totally right, "chilltense" is perfect
Egarran 05.13.20	I did my bit of Rocket League. It's such a fun game, partly because fuckups are so obvious. My party trick is to boost for a ball rolling peacefully along the ground and just missing it.
osmark86 05.13.20	In the higher echelons even minor positional fuckups are likely to be met with a "please kill urself"
evilford 05.13.20	Need a good star wars game for ps4...what's good?
Gwyn. 05.13.20	That new Jedi order game from last year is pretty good
evilford 05.13.20	Like....decent single player stuff? Not really super interested in multiplayer games at this point
Gallantin 05.13.20	There is only one good single player Star Wars game released on any platform in the past...decade, maybe longer, and it's Jedi Fallen Order. If you want a fun single player action game set in the Star Wars universe on the PS4, that's your best bet.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.13.20	Risk of rain 2 looks neat
osmark86 05.13.20	it is neat af
ConcubinaryCode 05.13.20	Yeah ff7r is fine. The sewer section and the later section in the facility drag a bit too much but this game has everything people have been saying they've wanted in a ff game for years.
Deathconscious 05.13.20	I have plenty of gripes with it but right now im just really glad it exists.
ConcubinaryCode 05.13.20	There's plenty of gripes to be had with it but it's really great regardless. Cloud has zero charisma or personality which the original does do better and some sections are tedious on replay just to give the sense of fleshing out which is fine for one playthrough but I don't like doing the robo hand puzzles more than once. Also the stagger bar resetting mid fight is bullshit. The boss battles are where the game really shines imo.
Gallantin 05.13.20	Cloud's personality builds way better in the remake than in the OG. OG Cloud just seems more charismatic because the game fast tracks plot development so much. The Remake takes the time to make his character arc more...gooder.
Deathconscious 05.13.20	Cloud has zero charisma or personality which the original does do better [2] They did not translate his personality well from what ive seen so far.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.13.20	he had no personality in the original either as far as i can remember
ConcubinaryCode 05.14.20	In the remake he's so autistic he can't high five someone. They will probably flesh him out more in the sequel though.
Dewinged 05.14.20	Anyone playing Destiny 1 or 2 shoutbox me so I can finally finish the goddamn raids lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.14.20	"In the remake he's so autistic he can't high five someone." see he already has more character than he did in the original right there
Gallantin 05.14.20	These people don't seem to remember that in the original he had like 5 lines before the end of Midgar and they were all more boring than his personality in the remake. Turning him learning how to high-five Aerith in the remake with a fucking quicktime event is 1000x more character development than he ever got before the 30 hour mark in the original and you see the line "let's mosey"
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.14.20	Lmao
Dewinged 05.14.20	Being a total of 5 polygons didn't help his personality in the OG either, truth be told.
Gallantin 05.14.20	I think people tend to overstate the characters of the original considering they've had a whole slew of additional games and content over the last twenty years to make the FF7 world bigger and more fleshed out. It took a long time for Cloud to get much story or personality in the original, and it was even sillier in the Midgar section when he starts off as "i'm just a mercenary doing this for the money" and less than an hour later is ready to fight with these people until the literal end of the world. The remake actually takes the time to give cloud stuff like...motivation, connection, relationships, etc. with all the characters around him. Idk why people are saying he has no personality, he's way more defined here than the OG
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.14.20	"Being a total of 5 polygons didn't help his personality in the OG either, truth be told." LOL
Deathconscious 05.14.20	Nah, i play the game like once a year, i didnt forget shit. Original FF7 Cloud was a much better character.
Deathconscious 05.14.20	"In the remake he's so autistic he can't high five someone." Yeah hes got severe autism in the Remake. Maybe thats why snox likes that version better, he relates.
MyNameIsPencil 05.14.20	been playing way too much day of defeat source but when I'm not doing that I've been cracking at final fantasy 9 and Disco Elysium still need to finish dark souls and persona 4 tho :L
budgie 05.14.20	damn ppl still play DOD:S??
Minushuman24 05.14.20	Finish those damn games. Persona4 is my all time favorite game, and Dark souls is top 3. So worth the investment.
loveisamixtape 05.14.20	also here 4 destiny 2 Or dying light if anyone plays loll
MyNameIsPencil 05.14.20	I'm pretty far into persona 4, i just take breaks when I need to grind lol and dark souls i just need to set my 360 back up cause I moved recently and yeah dod:s has a few pretty dedicated communities, you can still usually find a few populated servers whenever
osmark86 05.14.20	I must have 1000+ hrs in the original Day of Defeat. damn I loved that game.
osmark86 05.14.20	might just have to jump into some of those dedicated DOD:S servers for some serious nostalgia.
evilford 05.14.20	I cant stop seeing Jack bauer when snake talks in mgsv
teamster 05.14.20	If anyone wants to play with my son on PS4..add him. I swear he could be a pro gamer. Always at the top of the leaderboards. CoD, Rainbow 6, Overwatch, Rocket League. His aim is amazing for a damn controller. PS4 : blade4487 Tell him you know his Dad.
evilford 05.14.20	Lol.....
teamster 05.14.20	I don’t play with you console peasants .... ...pc masterrace! Lol.
evilford 05.14.20	Something about a controller in ur hand man. Also, last I knew, metal gear shit ain't on PC. That's probably my fav series of all time so it played a part in my decision to go console (ps4). Plus I dont have PC $ Rich ass mfer lol
teamster 05.14.20	Evil , you are correct sir. Not cross-platforming sucks. Never played Destiny 1 because it never came out on pc and the final fantasy games are so much better on console.
evilford 05.14.20	Almost want a cheap pc tho so I can still play starcraft and HL2
Egarran 05.14.20	Indeed, mouse+keyboard are the superior controllers.
budgie 05.14.20	get post scriptum evil
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.14.20	I'm not pc gaming nerd but I will never ever understand how anyone possibly thinks its fun to play games with a mouse and a keyboard
osmark86 05.15.20	would you play gems like Baldur's Gate II on a bloody controller pots?
osmark86 05.15.20	just finished Gris and man that was eye and ear candy the whole way through.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.15.20	@osmark well I probably just wouldnt play baldur's gate ii lol
Gyromania 05.15.20	King of fighters 4 is a great time
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.15.20	I dunno it makes sense for certain games that were designed to be played with a mouse and keyboard but as a general rule mouse and keyboard being universally better than a controller is a mind boggling claim
Gallantin 05.15.20	M&K is good for CRPGs and strategy games. Awful for FPS. I mean, MOUSE is good for FPS, but keyboard is a nightmare.
beefshoes 05.15.20	Chrono Trigger guys, Chrono Trigger
Gyromania 05.15.20	Keyboard and mouse is 10 times better than a controller when it comes to fps games. You can be eay more accurate with your entire hand than you can with just your thumb. Outside of fps tho, keuboard and mouse is mostly garbage, especially for platformers and fighters
budgie 05.15.20	" Outside of fps tho, keuboard and mouse is mostly garbage, " like, turn based rpgs, arpgs, rts games...
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.15.20	Turn based shit, tactical shit, fps to a degree, certain styles of rpgs like baldurs gate as mentioned all make sense to me Any hack and slashes or rpgs like skyrim or dark souls kind of thing, mario, zelda style games, platformers etc etc would be awful with a mouse and keyboard
Gyromania 05.15.20	I mean rts sure but how many of those are even around anymore outside of stuff lile Xcom. Turn based rpgs are fine with a controller imo but sure, kb&m is also fine fps to a degree? As a person who put in close to a thousand hours in overwatch on console and then switched to pc I can tell you definitively playing a sniper like Widowmaker on console and then switching to pc is night and day
budgie 05.15.20	"I mean rts sure but how many of those are even around anymore" ;_; anyway, diablo 1 was unplayable on console, and diablo 2 and poe would probably also be unplayable. diablo 3 sucks so who cares.
budgie 05.15.20	i played morrowind on console & pc and vastly prefer pc. and that is before mods enter the equation
Gyromania 05.15.20	Seriously, rts isn't nearly as big a thing anymore, and it sucks because I played a shit ton of them growing up
budgie 05.15.20	yeah it's sad. aoe2 is quite strong right now however which is neat
Gallantin 05.15.20	Plenty of RTS games still going round. There's a large PC market for them still. They're not even that niche. Developers are getting better at making traditionally M&K games work with gamepads now. Diablo 3 works beautifully on consoles, and old CRPGs like Baldur's Gate work well on them now as well. And newer CRPGs like Pillars of Eternity and Divinity Original Sin have had quick turnarounds to release on console and work like a treat. No game is really unfeasible on a gamepad if there is dedicated dev time to development for it.
budgie 05.15.20	i would argue post scriptum (& probably other milsim style games) couldn't be mapped onto a controller without removing some functionality
Gyromania 05.15.20	Agreed with both of you. Controllers have developed a lot over the years and are far more intuitive now, but there are instances where they fall short. Unfortunately I haven't seen a lot of rts games around lately, maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.15.20	Re morrowind etc ya the mods for pc are a big plus but you can still play pc with a controller..
Gallantin 05.15.20	That new Ghost of Tsushima reveal stuff is pretty disappointing. Not liking the fact that it's another Assassin's Creed-style open world title with generic stealth options. The customisation and photo mode and cinema mode and whatnot is nice, but...otherwise this game is not selling me at all.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.15.20	@gyro by "to a certain degree" for fps I understand aiming with a mouse is exponentially quicker and more precise so that makes sense to me. What doesnt sound fun to me is moving around and having your other functions mapped to a keyboard. That's all.
Gallantin 05.15.20	@gyro: there are way more RTS games on the way this year, but Crusader Kings III just came out (or its being reviewed rn) and people are very positive about it.
ConcubinaryCode 05.15.20	I think valve was onto something with their steam controller that had a track pad on it but they sure gave up on it quickly. Wish I grabbed one when they were dumping them for $5.
budgie 05.15.20	Re morrowind etc ya the mods for pc are a big plus but you can still play pc with a controller.. true
Gallantin 05.15.20	And yea pots is right. Like I said earlier the problem with FPS games on a M&K is not in the M, it's all in the K.
budgie 05.15.20	gallantin what rts games? is there a list somewhere
Gallantin 05.15.20	Shit man just google 2020 RTS games and you'll be greeted with a long list, and you can do the same with any other recent year. It's a large portion of the PC market.
Gallantin 05.15.20	RTS games are so essential to the PC market that fucking Total War is essentially a serialised yearly release akin to Call of Duty
budgie 05.15.20	ok well total war franchise doesn't actually have any rts games within it so idk what you're thinking aboout
Gallantin 05.15.20	Total War isn't a full on RTS ur right, but it's semi-RTS and I'll stand by that
ian b 05.15.20	not to be that guy, but to be that guy, who has xbox still and wanna co-op through some game pass games? username is Novelty Sweater (ofc)
budgie 05.15.20	total war is a turn based grand strategy with a RTT battle component, callin it semi-rts is so fuckin weird
Gallantin 05.15.20	Well eat my ass budg how bout that
Gallantin 05.15.20	Also there's literally no difference between "real time tactics" and "real time strategy" Total War games being significantly part-real time tactics is no different than just saying they're semi-RTS games so you can eat my fuckin aaaarsse
budgie 05.15.20	rts = resource gathering, base building, tech
Gallantin 05.15.20	That's a very narrow view of what an RTS is
ConcubinaryCode 05.15.20	What games do you play Ian?
budgie 05.15.20	"That's a very narrow view of what an RTS is" i'm sorry you don't approve of the fucking definition!
Gallantin 05.15.20	I do not.
Gallantin 05.15.20	Maybe when that Dune game came out it was the definition but it's been like 30 years, genres expand and change, brah
budgie 05.15.20	well I dont approve of THAT
Gallantin 05.15.20	...so then... It's war.
budgie 05.15.20	im gonna cut your balls off son
twlight 05.15.20	Witcher 3, best writing in any game in my option
Gallantin 05.15.20	Lol
aydross121 05.15.20	Lol
aydross121 05.15.20	Also, realized Xcom2 is on switch now. Wondering if the loading times are as bad as on playstation.
Egarran 05.15.20	Yeah that's an awesome game. The gf has a switch lite, maybe I can sneak Xcom2 on there.
teamster 05.15.20	Twlichty - very good yes. But the best writing in any video game ever is Bioshock.
Gallantin 05.15.20	Jesus christ are you people real
teamster 05.15.20	Dude. You can’t be serious.
budgie 05.15.20	roller coaster tycoon has the best writing, nerds
Gallantin 05.15.20	Hard agree
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.15.20	"Witcher 3, best writing in any game in my option" ROFL
botulist 05.15.20	life is so different now that quarantine is on, eh, nerds?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.15.20	yeah, it is...
evilford 05.15.20	@snox, how far in completion % did u get in mgsv? Some of the side ops are kinda brutal....
Emim 05.15.20	Best writing in any game is Tetris: Elements
Gallantin 05.15.20	Think the most I've gotten is somewhere in the 80% range, but the game is never done for me. I'm aiming for 100% one day.
wutang4ever 05.15.20	I just bought an Oculus Quest and I cant wait to get it. Anyone have this thing? It looks crazy, especially the Walking Dead game.
osmark86 05.15.20	Tried Enter the Gungeon on local coop tonight and by Zeus that game is intense! Think I might just have fallen in love with bullet hells ^^
wutang4ever 05.15.20	All I can say is Ghost of Tsushima is going to be so good. Too bad no coop though.
bloc 05.15.20	"Best writing in any game is Tetris: Elements" You ever play Pong though
Emim 05.16.20	Two equal, yet opposing forces locked eternally in combat.
bloc 05.16.20	Can't name a better story than that
Gallantin 05.16.20	I hope Ghost of Tsushima is good, but rn is just looks like Assassin's Creed: Japan, and boy does nothing interest me kess than that AC world and formula.
anarchistfish 05.17.20	I watched too many 2077 vids and now I'm overhyped. Started vampyr too, it's pretty good
Egarran 05.17.20	Tetris + Pong = Arkanoid
deathofasalesman 05.17.20	Anyone play The Division 2? I'm at 500+ hours of playtime since late February.
Morningrise767 05.17.20	gonna co-op through Gears of War Remaster on Insane with a mate should be fun ^^
Egarran 05.17.20	I hear end game for Terraria has been released, so that's going to happen.
ElioG 05.17.20	Some Krautrock on the background and Broken Swords on the laptop and you've just pointed and clicked reality.
