Theres been like 52 incidents of multiple shootings as of last week when i saw an article about how deadly january was so id bet its higher now but only like 20 qualify as mass shootings by whatever metric they use.

11 school shootings by the 24th of january in that figure too

Problems with the over arching plot aside, LA Noire has by far the best writing and acting of pretty much any game ever

the cinematography of yakuza 0 and the series in general once it gets going is everything david cage has been trying to do for his entire career, largely due to one of the directors being a film student

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
In xenoblade chronicles x, are all online features disabled due to the end of the miiverse?

I just read about hiring scouts (npc snapshots of other players) but dunno if that's one of the many things that don't work now.

I've never seen another player out in the field for example, but that could also be because I've got online stuff switched off?

Quite a busy weekend!
Finished Batman: TellTale series and loved it.
Finished season 2 of The Good Place (and very happy about how that is going)
Caught up with Star Trek Discovery (also enjoying the heck out of the show even though my favourite captain turned out to be a bad guy and is now dead!! Majorly bummed out by that!)
Increased my level and rank to 9 and 3 respectively in Everybody's Golf, which is one of the most fun games I have owned.
Will be finishing Uncharted 1 this evening, then moving onto 2.


And finally when playing on games my own I have just started Persona 5 AKA the slickest art designed, chillest musically inclined, loungiest game I have ever experienced!! Loving it :D

https://twitter.com/nintendogs_2/status/960479524927369216

not sure what game in the backlog to finish after this but im rapidly approaching a point where Celeste feels like a chore rather than fun. i think ill finish the b-sides and call it done-zo

so next up: prey, dishonored death of the outsider, or clock mario rabbids. so many of games to enjoy!

I'm playing Danganronpa V3, just finished the fourth case and that was hella depressing. I love the game but it seems a lot more pessimistic than the previous two.

The PC port has a nasty habit of randomly ignoring inputs (be they mouse clicks, key presses or pad button presses) and that's a bit of a problem.

I started playing it in december. Scouts work fine, division quests or whatever they're called work fine, as do rewards. I haven't tried a special online boss but they at least get announced fine. The game does warn that some functions should have been disabled by I have no idea which.

There's a thematic reason for that which may or may not pay off for you depending on how you feel about the series as a whole.

I beat the game the other day and overall liked it a lot, but I think that case sucks. I was warned about it in advance by a friend who actually stopped playing at that point so I was prepared but it was still awful.

Fortunately I think it improves afterwards and I really like the way it ends.

I'm heading to the rocket in Iconoclasts, I'm guessing that's near the end of the game? Do I get a chance to go and find any stuff I missed still or is that it now?

Right before the final boss you can go back everywhere so don't worry. Though I beat the boss then reloaded the save to do that cause I wanted to see the ending at that point.

Yeah, it seemed like SK were gonna blow up huge but then they just kinda stopped. I'm guessing the animation takes a while plus it's a collaborative so everyone has to be on the same schedule. Oh well, what they have put out has been pretty...killer :cool:

Am I doing something wrong in this final area of Iconoclasts? There seems to be no way of dealing with these blue goop covered enemies without taking a ton of damage from the spike wheel rollers that only seem vulnerable your wrench but still take a bunch of hits while they're constantly rolling over you.

The rollers go down fairly quick to uncharged shots from your swapper gun but you'll still probably have to just try to avoid gooped enemies until they do unless you can squeeze in a charged swap to de-goop and then kill them. It's just hard.

Kiryu has hosed at least 20 women over the course of six or seven games. But sidequest Kiryu and storyline Kiryu are often two different people.
