I know I'm buying Nioh, but I'm also eyeing FF15. Don't know why exactly, I want to like Final Fantasy, and the road trip open world seems like an interesting concept in itself as well.

Maybe I'll fire up some TF2 though that was fun but poo poo I always feel like I'm dragging everyone down. The last time played with you, you had the highest kill number I think I've ever seen in the game. You were doing fine.

Quantum of Phallus posted:drat a song by Amon Tobin came on one of my play lists today and it reminded me of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, which is one of my favourite games ever and developed by UBISOFT(?!). What the hell happened to those guys? I remember double agent being a buggy mess and then conviction (?) had the cool co op. Where's the current gen splinter cell at? Some of the stealth parts of Phantom Pain and Hitman had me craving a new release. CharlieFoxtrot posted:Holy poo poo, that brings back so many memories. I got the steelbook version of Chaos Theory and everything. This is the hypemost trailer I was into at the time. The Pandora Tomorrow multi was an incredible experience at the time, especially since my only reference point on the PS2 was Socom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brTXBYRHbi4

Evil Canadian posted:Its a fantastic 1v1 game with a 4v4 mode for casuals. Its a great game. Its an ok game, worth wasting an hour of your time to see it clicks with you but lets not get hypebolic and pretend its a loving masterpiece now. No one is going to be playing it in 3 months.

Everyone in college at the time was playing Halo 2 but Pandora Tomorrow was the game my crew rolled in. I loved little touches like if you grabbed an enemy, you could speak into their voice channel and freak out their teammate. Also confusing mercs with noisemakers and then gassing them with traps was way beyond anything I had done in multiplayer shooters

I don't think I've ever played a better version of cat and mouse.

Ok I'm on about chapter 6 now of Yakuza 0. The Majima chapters really got their teeth in me, I find his combat styles real fun and enjoy his story more than Kiryu's so far. However after returning to Kiryu I'm struggling. I really don't get his combat. I feel like I'm just stunlocked all the time, can't really build heat or pull of heat explosions. When the game first started it was ok but now its all MIB encounters who kick my rear end. I think I'm doing something wrong? I use R1 lock on but its pretty arbitrary who he locks too, guarding doesn't really protect him from anything and breaks easy in Brawler and dodging sucks outside of Rush. Just seems to become a punching bag. Comparatively on Majima I can block and dodge as need be, and I don't feel like I'm fighting the system so much? What am I messing up here?

I've managed to step away from FFXIV for a while now(only for overwatch to take away all my time). But drat. I just keep buying more and more games. some of them are still sealed. I keep telling myself not to buy, only to give in "but If II want itater and if I buy now while it's on sale, i'm saving money" I need to stop that. Games I've completed - Destiny (Thank you Goons for the fun times. looking forward to destiny 2) - Rise of the tomb raider - Final Fantasy 15 - World of Final Fantasy - Attack on Titan Backlog -Uncharted 4 (started it but never finished it) -Danganronpa 2 -Aliennation -Enter the gungeon -Uncharted 1-3 remaster -Borderlands handsome collection -Need for speed -Kingdom Hearts dream drop distance -Dragon ball xenoverse 2 -Mirros edge catalyst -Digimon cyber sleuth -Toukiden Kiwami -God eater -God eater 2 -Diablo 3 -Odin Sphere And more

Samurai Sanders posted:Half of AC is seriously perfect: generations of two secret global organizations fighting each other by running around on rooftops in famous historical cities assassinating each other. Most likely so they had an external framing device to tie otherwise-unrelated storylines together throughout history, and because you know drat-well at some point there's either going to be a game (or at least a stretch of gameplay) going all the way back to Adam and Eve's rebellion against the Precursors.

I thought they were building towards a game set in modern times(kinda like Mirror's Edge meets Deus Ex I guess?). So much for that.

I brought my little brother to see it on New Year's Day and I've genuinely never been so bored in a cinema. Kids were crawling all over the place due to lack of interest. Half an hour in, the kid behind me turned to his dad and said "how long's left, half an hour?"

Every review of the movie said it was just explanatory as hell because their heads are all irretrievably suck up their asses about this Eden/genetic memory world building stuff and honestly don't know that no one else cares,

I enjoyed the street fighter and mortal kombat movies. They tied in well enough with the games to make them decent enough for a fan to sit through. I was going to say that watching them when i was 11 probably played a part in that but even at that age I thought the Super Mario movie was a strange and unappealing mess.

Honestly I like SMB the best because it's as different from the games as possible, given that it didn't even start with a connection to them. That's not saying much though. Game stories are mostly a pulped version of movie plots, so making a movie of it is pulp of pulp.

The question is really "do any video game franchise films FEEL like their games?" In that vein I think the first Mortal Combat totally succeeds (that theme song is an unimpeachable pop culture benchmark in movie themes). Prince of Persia came and went without any critical acclaim right? I just don't understand the need to whitewash these games, ugh

PoP might be one of the dullest films I've ever seen though I hear rear end Creed beats that.
