is there a new bloodborne or portal 2 yet

There's portal for lego dimensions, but that's more of a lego game with portal set dressing and also you'd have to buy a bunch of poo poo to actually be able to play it

Darkest Dungeon reminds me of bloodborne aesthetically but I haven't played either so I don't know how close they actually are aesthetics-wise

I am sorry that I can't be of much more help than that, friend :(

Nah they've been getting English releases for over a decade now. I was bummed out by Awakening and cautious when they announced some weird Pokemon style multiple entry release for Fates but I ended up loving it and have been playing through every entry. It may end up being a GOTY for me

What's wrong with Awakening that you were bummed out by it?

I didn't like the maps and playing on harder difficulties meant reinforcements got turns on the turn they appeared, so I would do like suicide runs once or twice just to learn all the spawn points. Also it was pretty easy to break the difficulty with how reclassing worked.

Ah. I never played awakening, haven't played any FE game outside of a lot of sacred stones so the only thing I've ever heard negatively about Awakening was that the models didn't have feet

I can't decide if I should marathon Zelda, Kirby, or Metal Gear this summer and I don't think that's a terrible problem to have.

IMO marathonning kirby would be the best since I feel like they are short enough and easy enough that you'll never spend too long on any lows, while zelda has a bunch of games of varying length with some really high highs but some really low lows and mgs has a bunch of games with some similar issues

Kirby is always changing up its formula in some way I thought

My first kirby game was tilt n tumble tho and I hated that game and man, there are people that like that game and I'm just like "ughh" because for me the controls of that game were way too annoying combined with the lack of backlight so I couldn't really tell what I was doing anyway

I am glad you are feeling some kind of relief at least with the stomach numbing stuff

If anybody picks up 20XX or Metagal please let me know how they are. They look good but 20XX is definitely way too expensive for me right now and Metagal is more affordable sure but I only have $7 in steam cards and I'd rather try to get the most out of it by sticking to games that are under $1

One of my favorite moments in the original xcom game was when I sent my b-team of rookies to their first mission (which ended up being a terror mission) because my a-team still had people healing up. I figured it'd be a suicide mission if anything but who knows. I get there, it's a night time chryssalid mission and things were bad. A bunch of the 'lids were hiding out in warehouses and stuff, just waiting. Plenty of times my characters would turn around and find themselves face-to-face with a chryssalid. Half my team was killed in the first few turns. There was 1 soldier that kept successfully murdering the lids that were too close for comfort though, the ones who on the next turn would have without-a-doubt murdered more of my soldiers. My friend called this guy Logan.

I managed to regroup my remaining rookies into a firing squad after successfully taking out the chryssalids near the landing site. All I had to do was remain in firing squad formation and anybody that showed up would get shot. That seemed like a great idea, and for several turns, it was. Until they broke through.

Chryssalids have a pretty big movement range.

So one snuck up on one of the soldiers from the far left of my firing squad and killed them, turning them into a zombie. One of my other soldiers in the line, seeing this, decided to try to shoot the zombie to death via reaction fire. Said soldier was on the other end of the line and was attempting to fire through the line to do so. They shot Logan and Logan was hit about 3 or so times.

Logan was fine. Unfortunately, the zombie and some chryssalids managed to kill some more of my firing squad as they scattered around trying to avoid them. I was left with maybe 3 or 4 soldiers, but Logan remained the most competent in spite of the fact that he was heavily outnumbered due to the sudden resurgence in zombies as well as bleeding out from the friendly fire.

My non-Logan soldiers kept missing their shots while I tried to keep Logan safely out of their line of fire, but they kept missing. I had to send in Logan to take out the enemies because he was the only one hitting anybody. Logan managed to successfully kill the final couple of chryssalids and the mission was over. he spent several months healing up and he was the only survivor to get moved to my A-Team, just before they got sent to Mars for the final attack.

He perished in the attack on Mars. I'm not sure what killed him, it was either one of the sectopods or whatever the big mech things with guns are called or who knows, but drat if he didn't leave a good impression. :911:

Battleborn's art design is loving hideous, its like something even dreamworks would be ashamed of. The characters look like trash, like baby's first 3D model or a cartoon that was abandoned before they finished the pilot episode.
Even worse, the characters never shut up, and I hate every loving line spoken. Take the most horrible mascot character you can think of, and then make that ALL of the characters. I muted the game in less than an hour.

Gameplay is pretty dull too, even when you do have teammates. I played the beta and was bored almost immediately. Battleborn is just trash all around. Gearbox needs new management, they really made a mistake thinking Battleborn would be good.

What kind of annoying lines do they have?


I know that brothers in arms furious four game that got scrapped they took some of the leftovers from that and moved it to battleborne so uhh so much for that haha

If you mean the werewolf system then yeah, RIP that game

If you mean werewolves in general tho, darkstalkers, twilight princess, I think one of the legacy of kain games let you turn into a wolf, Shining Force kinda (the wolfman there is one of the best party members imo but he is always just a wolfman, never changing from wolf to human or anything like that), and there is a fun little box pushing puzzle game called MacGuffin's Curse

Same. just woke up about an hour ago or so. Idling cards. Still some stuff I wanna buy during the steam sale but eh doubt I'm gonna have enough card bucks by then to buy them so I'm sure they'll be cheaper next time.

I've been having weird issues with this computer where for some reason google takes a long fuckin time to load up, and it's just google, and sometimes it doesn't even load at all. My fiancee's laptop opens google up completely fine so idk what's going on with this computer. Even fuckin Edge on this computer brings google up fine, so it has to be something wrong with Chrome but idk what.

I liked killing the werewolf in V:TM cause it was pretty satisfying after how tough it was to just try and survive

I feel like at this point their comic is kept around as a formality

I haven't read the comic in years and years and years and the only time I even hear about Mike and Gabe lately are when they say something really stupid. The art definitely has gotten worse tho, I'm not sure exactly how to describe it other than he tried to improve on his art too much but ended up just exaggerating the parts that weren't good and minimizing the parts of the art that were good


Really I just wish there was more of Kris and Scott's Scott and Kris show. That and Checkpoint! were good, and Checkpoint! is still going on Loading Ready Run's youtube channel but idk if Kris and Scott are still doing poo poo together or not
