It is also just how empty a loot shooter where the loot is meh feels. I'm probably gonna play Control, that seems like it would be more fun of a shooty game

Control's fantastic, that's a good choice. Just got its first DLC too, I haven't played it yet but the reviews sound like it's excellent.

Rockstar creates a great illusion that you're fighting this huge onslaught with your two buddies, if you're halfway competent it will be over well before you realize how the spawns and phases work and how your allies aren't helping at all (they're just a way to make the mission harder by being able to die).

RBA Starblade posted:It's only a warcrime if ADVENT does it The closest parallel I can think of to what’s going in in XCOM 2 is like, a mid 90’s Saturday morning cartoon combined with the darker side of Coast to Coast AM. It is, at once, a rejection of capitalist imperialism and a lionization of THE TROOPS.

Anything in the Just Drive bundle that's worth getting? Additionally, I thought about picking up the Stardock bundle for Fences and some of the other programs, but I wanted to ask if there are any issues with the software first (half of the programs are just visual effects stuff, so I didn't know if it caused performance issues or anything).

Nyaa posted:Fence works fine. It does add a second or two to the window startup time to run itself and drag all the icons into the box. It's great if you are a disorganized icon hoarder and/or need more than a hundred icons on your desktop. Is there anything else in the bundle that's worth trying out? Spacemonger seems like it work like a good alternative to WinDirStat.

If you're using WinDirStat you should check out WizTree, it's much faster.

I've really been enjoying FFXIV for a while now, even though it can be a bit of a slog with some of its quests. Is it worth trying ESO now that its on sale? I don't know how comparable they are.

A bit late to the party, but I just finished Black Mesa (admittedly purchased as placebo for Doom Eternal) and enjoyed it quite a lot with the exception of one level: Interloper. Whoever decided that the run-up to the final boss is best spent on a more than an hour's worth of loving around with power cables, crates and conveyor belts should not be allowed anywhere near level design ever again. I was pleasantly surprised how they handled most of Xen but I'm pretty confident I will never want to replay this game again because that one level just sucks so much. e: I mean, Half-Life's final levels were a pain in the rear end but at least they were mercifully short. In Black Mesa, Xen gets away with the extension because it's pretty and Gonarch's Lair gets away with it because it's tense, but by the time you hit Interloper you're just thoroughly sick of it and the generic cave factory visuals you spend most of it on just add to the frustration. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Apr 1, 2020 |

Cardiovorax posted:This is a real protip, by the way. Wiztree goes right into your file system and instead of having to manually record how many files you have and how much space they take up, they just rip the info out of the database your hard drive already maintains even without you asking. It's faster than WinDirStat by a factor of 20, easily. Hubcat, keep recommending this, because I keep forgetting to. You aren't loving kidding, I just tried it out and I couldn't count to ten before it finished scanning 1TB. Wow, thanks. And it helped me realize that for some reason I had both the stand-alone downloaded FFXIV installed and the Steam version as well, so that was 27 free gigabytes! goferchan fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Apr 1, 2020 |

I don't know how comparable they are. They're not really similar games at all. ESO isn't bad, and if you're just looking to run around questing in Tamriel for a while it'll do the job, but imo it would be better in every way if it wasn't an MMO at all.

Yeah ESO is decent, but it's very much an "Elder Scrolls Lite" game. You'll like it if you like ES games enough that you wouldn't mind one that feels smaller (on a location-to-location basis) and less open-ended and interactive. E: On the plus side, installing mods is less likely to burn you out before you actually fire up the game! Stickman fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Apr 1, 2020 |

You can get plenty of mileage out of ESO by treating it as weird spin-off singleplayer game that happens to have other players running around in it. Definitely not a shortage of stuff to do in it. I never got to the expansion stuff but I did play most of what was offered in the first pre-expansion version and I'm sure it's all been changed a lot and streamlined since. The main story quest was a decent enough distraction.
