MrQueasy posted:played Tetris Effect, and it was good… like Lumines and regular Tetris had a baby. I’m not sure I want to play it any more now that I beat “journey” mode. yeah, perfect game pass game in that regard. i beat journey mode over two days, had an excellent time, then never touched it again.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:basically this is how you should do it. by first map you mean all of michigan? i’ve still yet to get an “off-road” truck, i don’t think there’s one in the first area on the map. but yeah i need better heavy truck tires. i almost lost a semi-trailer in the mud but managed to flip it, pull it upside down back to the garage, then flip it upright with a crane.

it's insane to me that microsoft actually thought blizz IP was worth 70b compared to Bethesda which sold for like 7b and at the very least still pumps out skyrim ports instead of sexual predators

I think in OWL they tried hero pools to keep matches interesting, but the player base had a collective aneurysm because they put all their eggs in one basket in one hero and if they can’t play that one hero they aren’t playing at all FAT32 SHAMER fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jan 18, 2022 |

there’s something to be said about encouraging good tanking, but being honest tanking is a concept that is learned or understood as a game sense kind of thing more so than a game mechanic. I can’t really think of a way Blizz could be encourage players to “make space” or not press w so hard when moving the team versus encouraging and rewarding players who play for the K:D

overwatch is probably one of my favourite games of all time and definitely has the most hours I’ve ever put into a game before, but half the fun was playing new maps and having new heroes and content with my five friends, and now one of us isn’t going to be able to play with the rest of the gang (probably me since I can’t usually play until around midnight est and only a day or two a week), and adding things like skill decay made players like me who wanted competition and teamwork when they were actually able to play turn off of it in favour of milsim games like Insurgency or Squad since, while there isn’t a rank system in either game, the feeling of success and teamwork is at the core of those games like Overwatch
