I'm going with Warframe on this one; Destiny 2's loot aspect is... eh? Every weapon class feels exactly the same save for some exotics; I got the game gifted to me with the season pass and haven't even played Osiris.

The Division was fun once at the start and once I hit endgame, but the middle was a slog.

Warframe I played, bounced off and then gave another try after watching this review and lost 250 hours in it. Just don't buy platinum until you get a 75% off coupon, and make sure to drop by the goon Warframe Discord, the folks there are great and they'll be more than happy to answer any question you may have and set you up with essential mods.

I've always wondered about Warframe and had been meaning to watch that review. I have it downloaded and got through the tutorial before work. Seems fun. I enjoyed The Division, despite the story and characters BUT Tom Clancy is right there in the name, so you do have fair warning.

My mom can absolutely gently caress up a game of Ms. Pac Man. She has memorized the patterns. We were once late to a movie cause my local theatre had a Ms. Pac Man machine. Now all she plays is Bejewled or Sudoku on her phone but I have seen the beast that lurks within.

I actually finished up some chores early so I decided to play a little Skyrim before going to bed tonight.

Just started the game and as the intro begins I hear horrible clanging. As the screen unfades I noticed the cart was jerking around way more than usual. It was apparently half stuck in the ground and was violently phasing its way through the earth as the ingame cutscene progress. As it got to the village it started doing barrel and clipping through the NPCs. loving A+ Bethesda, really showing me picking this game up again was a good choice :regd09:

BF1 is very fun though, best it's been since BC2 imho. For one thing, the weapons actually feel different from one another again, thanks to how much more primitive and borderline experimental they are. The other big difference is that it actually feels like you're fighting in a giant war again. Maps in latter-day, Battlefield games just looked and felt like artificial play areas, partially due to the decreased destructibility.

It's also, to my mind, the best looking game out there.

The sound design is also amazing.

I can't ask this in the now-archived Saint's Row thread (is there a new one that I'm missing?), so here goes:

Is the Gentlemen Of The Row mod for Saint's Row 2 anything but a collection of tons of other mods? On one hand, I've heard the PC port of SR2 sucks. On the other hand, if it's only playable as Saints Row 2 With A Bunch Of Other People's Ideas On What Saint's Row 2 Should Be, it's not worth picking up SR2 in the first place.

The modder ended up getting a job at Volition because of the work he did and wasn't an ego tripping warlord about it. Anyway

I think if If I tried to play MH I would be a detriment to my team because I would be wearing the best fashion gear instead of what actually has the best stats for my build. IMO every game needs to implement a fashion slot.

If the rest of the team are wearing a minmaxed hodgepodge of armor, then they aren't worth keeping around, imo
