I still have mixed feelings on SotC and I'm not sure why I keep coming back to it but the PS4 version seems well done. Very pretty, and I appreciate that they threw in some new control schemes.

The custom theme that came with the PS3 version was better though!

man I totally forgot to post the other night when I stumbled onto the sidequest in Yakuza 0 that has you writing postcards to a radio station about previous sidequests you've completed, which from a sheer "player character actually remembers things they did in the past and uses the memories gained from them to do something calming and twee like writing a postcard to a radio station for a crazy story contest" is fuckin' crazy to me. what a ridiculous little detail

I love how Kiryu does absolutely everything in the most intense way possible. Writing, playing videogames, answering the phone, the guy lives at max speed all the time.

Sega should make an alternate timeline Yakuza where Kiryu burns himself out an early age and turns into a "hikikomori"

I sorta doubt this will succeed on any level

The City of Heroes revival is farfetched enough but throwing the Marvel license into the mix makes this sound more or less impossible. Not to mention half of the reason the game died was a lack of new content, so just reviving the game as it was doesn't sound very appealing.

I feel like pubg and fortnite may already be the lol and dota of battle royales. Rocktar games seem to have a big built in fan base so I'm sure plenty of people will play it but i'll be surprised if it steals pubg's fanbase.

RDR had pretty good controls. It's just GTA that fucks up aiming controls, and that's probably because Rockstar North thinks that they are God's Gift to game design.

What's the wild west equivalent of 100 people jumping out of a plane

LeafyOrb
Jun 11, 2012

So I finished Celeste and have some thoughts.

Gameplay: While I enjoyed most of it towards the end the checkpoints seemed to get farther and farther apart while difficulty ramped way the gently caress up. The execution demanded by the late game gets a bit ridiculous and it sometimes feels like they maybe overdid it given how tight some of the levels are. Some challenges feel like they were built with a solution then they added spikes to gently caress up that solution, which doesn't always feel great. It's great if you like difficult platformers.

By the way if you're playing on Switch use a pro controller because the joycon "d-pad" hosed up my dashes a whole bunch.

Story: I like the story and the subject matter it chooses to cover, I feel that goons are over selling it a bit though. It's fine and well written but it's not very substantive. It has simple goals and achieves them but I won't being thinking about it a whole lot. The presentation and how the story ties in with the gameplay is pretty great though.

Just finished the Bioshock Collection since it was on sale not long ago, they’ve all held up really well.

Almost all of it was a replay to me, but I was very, very pleasantly surprised by how good Minerva’s Den is. Really good tie in to the first two games with a touching, sad backstory.

I’m not sure if I’m ready to force myself through Burial at Sea again or not though...

ANIME POST




hello, id like to recommend everyone watch a place further than the universe on crunchyroll. it's about a bunch of good girls deciding that high school sucks and they should go to antartica in order to own everyone who thinks going to antarctica is a dumb idea. along the way they learn such valuable life lessons as 'having friends kind of sucks' and 'australians give you too much food.'

for real though its a super good humanistic serious with a ton of natural dialogue, like when kimari calls shirase a huge jerk and shirase just goes 'yeah, kind of, but you're going along with it' and kimari just goes 'yep' and then they continue being kind of petty towards their classmates for doubting them. its legitimate really funny, with a lot of great comic timing. there's also literally zero fanservice or anything weird, they're just dumb high schoolers written like and treated like dumb high schoolers. i know there's some people in this thread who are casually into anime and this series has a kind of weird lowkey premise and not a lot of hype so i thought id give it a shoutout.
