got Battleborn thru Humble Bundle this week.

It's pretty OK, not worth being slammed like it has been. It's like a Borderlands MOBA.

if that appeals to you, check it out.

I am digging it so far but boy are the servers kinda empty.


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

No Man's Sky is v chill, but also can be spooky and mysterious

i learned some alien words and they're telling me about a convergence

and i acted real nice and they are studying me (current status : Thesis)

so ive got that going for me which is nice


but the parts i don't like are like 50% of the game- resource management and mining.

but the seamless 'go from planet to space to space station to warping around' bits and the 'explore the planet' bits are worth the trouble, most of the time.


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

just finished SUPERHOT.

no idea on why i waited so long to play it.

still playing OVERWATCH, BATTLEBORN, GHOST IN THE SHELL FIRST ASSAULT ONLINE (dumb name) and EVOLVE STAGE 2 when I can.

most of my time is being eaten by GTA5 tho.

i liek vimeogrames

I bought and played phantom brave when it came out for PS2, and for nostalgia's sake I want to play it again, but I remember it being meh and don't want to regret my purchase

Phantom Brave is pretty good. Disagea is on PC now and it's real nice.

Bought DOOM on sale and have been punching demons into puddles for hours and it rules.


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Bought a bunch of stuff on the steam sale because I'm weak.

Got DOOM, Back to Bed, Her Story, Wolfenstein : The New Order, Event[0] and Fahrenheit.

Gonna finish MGSV first

Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

finally got around to playing and finishing BASTION.

hell of good game, good writing and a fun game. highly recommended.

now for TRANSISTOR bby


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

MAD MAX : THE GAME is way better than a movie tie-in has any right to be. Good story, lots of openworld collectable crap but also pretty valid reasons for doing so. Building the ultimate car to use in car-to-car combat is rad as hell

i just remembered that i downloaded the for honor beta this morning. hopefully playing it doesn't convince me to shell out the six-oh to Big Video Game but it prob will.

For Honor is extremely good, but not $60 good. at least so far.

PSN sale today, I heard paranautical activity and mercenary kings are worth checking out.

Mercanary Kings is extremely Metal Slug, if you're into that sort of thing (which most people are)

newest flash sale stuff is mostly older indie titles - if you haven't played Stealth Inc or The Swapper or Retro City Rampage, they're about $5 and worth getting

Lords of the Fallen is a Dark Souls-ish hack n slash RPG/adventure and it's so ridiculous. have a let's play - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNSh0HDVOM4

Persona 5 is out. Mother of God this is beautiful and I can't stop playing

Murdered soul suspect is on sale in the PlayStation store for seven smackers. It looks like the frighteners: Japan edition. you're the ghost and you can possess cats and make them meow. Is it worth seven smackers? I unno. Haven't played it yet, but I got a good feeling.

Pretty good. Worth the cash imo

Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Hollow Knight is beautiful and fun and well worth the cash


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Persona 5 game o the year every year forever.

Related(ish) : debating getting a Wii U since GameStop has em cheap this week. Pros/Cons?

Lizard Wizard posted:

Cons: Miiverse is dead

Will that matter if I just wanna play Splatoon locally? I'm not well versed (heh) in this stuff


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

started up Just Cause 3, which holds yr hand a bit at the beginning but the immediate additions of new abilities and stuff require it. you gotta admire a game that encourages, nay requires, you to just go nuts. "yeah, so there's this bad guy, he's doing bad stuff, here's some weapons and a grappling hook and a wingsuit and an infinite parachute, there's the stuff to blow up... have fun!"


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Agents of Mayhem was half price and I got it and it's super fun. If you like wacky Saints Row 3/4/Gat out of Hell gameplay and the whole colorful heroes roster to unlock and choose from that Overwatch and Battleborn had, it's really good. But only if it's less than $20, because wow is this not a $50 or $60 game


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Dark Souls 2 : SOTFS has got me back in it. I'm ALMOST at Vendrick and it's gonna rule so hard when I'm finally free of this prison. (Before I start jonesin' and start up DS3, but hey)

Also bought Titanfall 2 for like ten bux :10bux:

Jazzpunk is a masterpiece. Wedding Quake alone would have taken it over the top but no it doesn't end there. Amazing game

Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

I deleted Dark Souls 2. I gave up and accepted my mediocre gaming skill.

I am now playing God Eater Resurrection (which you get when you buy God Eater 2 Rage Burst on Steam, which is on sale now). It's.... Weird.

You died to the first boss? I beat him on the first try without getting hit, no armor, no weapons, guitar hero controller, and there was a guy irl hitting me in the head with a tire iron while I did it. Guess you're just not perfect at DS3 like me :shrug:

yeah well, i'll have you know it took me 55 times and i cried the whole time

I just picked up A Night In The Woods in switch and I already love it to death. It's basically a persona game with no fights and much better writing.

I'm legit mad at this post. I love Persona games with all my heart and NITW didn't have nearly the same personality.

It's a good game but don't dare compare the two.

Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Bloodborne. Still getting stomped on Blood Starved Beast. I both hate and love this game

Somebody created an Epic Games account with my email and forgot what password they used because I got a bunch of "Unsuccessful Login Attempt" emails recently. So I password reset that thing, turned on 2-factor and now I have an Epic Games account. I think that's a really weird way to end up with an account for a game you don't play.

In actual video game news, I started playing Dead Rising 2: Off the Record again and it's still a lot of fun. Were 3 and 4 any good? My computer always ran DR3 like poo poo so I never played much of it. I can remember that the interface was different and the game didn't quite feel right to me when I played.

Dr3 was fun as hell, the vehicles you could build were so overpowered but the game was always throwing zombies at you. The crafting (such as it is) is brilliant. Wound up with a huge Iron Man chest cannon thing and a lightsaber. Chop chop binch

Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

finished Neir : Automata and it was something special. Not the "best game ever" as some have said, but a genre-mashup game that's deep as hell

fired up Resident Evil VII : biohazard and it's extremely creepy and good. Classic RE gameplay but in 1st person with a found-footage horror film vibe crossed with Texas Chainsaw. It got its hooks in DEEP and early.

i just finished playing doki doki lit club for the first time today (yeah yeah I'm behind on the latest trends, sue me). i liked it very much, but honestly? I actually enjoyed some of the first part of the game, where they talked about different poetry & writing styles. it's probably pretty basic poo poo but I haven't taken an English or writing class on forever so it was interesting to me :goleft:

DDLP works best because it's a well-done imitation of a real visual novel... then things get decidedly unchill.

Yakuza 0 was on sale and Kiwami is the freebie with PS+ so i'm digging in!

also just finished Spider-Man and it was very fun, scratched the open world itch in the best way since the last Saint's Row -- in that I actually wanted to do all the little side quests and stuff because they made them fun to play. Swooping around NY and all that was just great. loved it 5/5

is yakuza kiwami one of the ones where you can play mahjong and shogi or is it one of the ones where you totally can in the japanese version but it was stripped out for the international release?

because i really want to play mahjong and shogi sometime, they seem neato

zero and kiwami both have mahjong and shogi and bowling and fishing and etc etc etc. great stuff.


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

vibeogrames :

started Far Cry 5 and it's the most fun I've had in the series since the third one. The usual Ubi chores seem less chore-like, it's fairly organic in how you can approach stuff and just generally fun having it set in a modern US where you fight religious nuts


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

i am playing the Sekiro and cannot kill the rifle lady. i just threw myself over and over at the lightning man and finally did it only to discover there's more and harder stuff. good game, still makes me mad and i just wanna be chill


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Look, everyone's saying Sekiro is cool. You know what is not cool and chill is beating your head against the wall of enemies.

And yes i've 'gotten good' - beat all 3 dark souls games (eventually) and bloodborne, but something about this is just infuriating on a level i've never experienced. just want 2 chill with the shinobis and listen to the dope music in the background and maybe save the dragon kid cuz he's nice


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

Dragon Quest XI is a gorgeous game. heard you can play it old school 2d but don't really know why you would wanna


Dr. Yinz Ljubljana

I'm catching up to Yakuza games as the remasters come out - Kiwami 2 is so good looking and it's just so satisfying to beat a group of dudes to a pulp with a motorcycle

Persona 5 Royal : My Cat Isn't Letting Me Sleep, Again. And there's a new girl.

So far the quality of life improvements are real good - being able to see what Confidants are available and close to upgrading is a time-sizer.

Persona 5 Royal is the best $60 I've spent on a game in a VERY long time (at least 3 years since vanilla P5)

Fun in that distinctly JRPG sense, stylish as hell and tons of new quality of life features/improvements over the original game.
