I only played it during a free weekend but the loot system made me never want to touch it again. If you can stand or even enjoy a tacked on random loot system and still have room in you for Literally More Left 4 Dead then you'll probably like it.

Yes, yes and no. I'm reading that it's not a bad game but not exceptional either. People are saying that it's repetitive and too linear but that the powers are cool and that choices matter.

You'll probably like the game but be bored to tears and/or roll your eyes out of your head at the live action stuff.

You know, it's totally OK to only play 7 chords in your entire life. Legendary punk and folk artists have carved decades-spanning careers using even less than that.

Nearly the entirety of Tales of Zestiria is blocked from recording, the only thing you can make videos out of is the dumb little challenge rooms they made for each character.

I dunno I did that for Mighty No. 9 (and turning off the voices and the mid-mission text dialog) and ended up actually enjoying it a little so there's use cases.

Every cutscene is skippable if you have a nice book or some exercise equipment. Even HL2's dialogue rooms are no match for pure indifference.

Hell yeah they are. If you delete the voice file pack from the game directory it just skips all the dialogue seamlessly. I was actually pretty surprised that the game runs completely without issue that way, I thought it'd break horribly but it didn't.

Every time I see a clip of RE6, I think "that looks pretty sweet, how could they gently caress it up that bad?" I'm getting perilously close to buying it to find out. I wonder if games like The Order and No Man's Sky are actually market research to see if people will buy games just to see for themselves "how bad could it be?"

RE6 is a good core game tied to bad level design.

That is why mercenaries works because it's JUST the core gameplay without any of the rest.

Yeah the gameplay itself is fun when it isn't tied to a Bad Setpiece Torture Rack

I would say the price of a used disc is worth it just for Mercenaries

I played RE6 with a friend expecting it to be at least as fun as co-op RE5, but it doesn't even come close. It has some really serious pacing issues and it's too god drat long for its own good. I just finished the first RE: Revelations and it is a lot better than both games despite being designed for a portable console.

it's ok for a lower budget RE game where all the guns have zero loving weight and feel like popguns and the enemies move like they're underwater. It's hard to recommend Either Revelations games when REmake, RE4, or even RE5 exist on current gen consoles.

Yes, it works for all the BL2 games/expansions/spinoffs, dunno if it works for Borderlands 1. If you ever wanna try it, the file to delete is "Audio_Streaming.pck" in steam\steamapps\common\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\CookedPCConsole\English(US)\

It makes borderlands 2 into the perfect chillout game

I always hated the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon because the koopa kids had weird hosed up names.
I learned much later that this was because they didn't have names at all in the japanese SMB3 manual and the cartoon was developed before the game came out in the US.
That cartoon still sucked though.
