RDR2 is cool because you get to kill ex-confederates and Klan members.

Thus ends my contribution to this thread.

Not surprising gamer weirdos really enjoyed trying to kill the feminists in that game.

I was playing Witcher 3 last night and there’s a racist as hell elf who’s disgusted that the once pure elder blood resides in Ciri. Ciri and Geralt get mad and trash her laboratory to cheer themselves up.

Thronebreaker wow RPG game with Gwent battles.

It actually went incredibly well for a long time. The only problem was that the Spartans relied on their Peloponnesian allies and Helot conscripts to make up the bulk of their phalanx line - so when the other Greeks realized they could focus on the weaker allies and the Spartiates couldn't maintain formation it was a long inevitable decline.

Also their whole military system made rebuilding after a setback really challenging after Epaminondas was dunking on them.

according to some anglo historian's experiments I saw years ago, an english longbow couldn't reliably penetrate plate armor at any great range. most of the french knights who died at, say, Agincourt, were killed by killed by daggers driven through the eye slits of their armor after the english infantry pulled them from the saddles of their mud-ensnared horses.

Yeah modern testing also shows that the real damage was most likely killing the horses which caused the french knights to be crushed and stunned which made them easy pickings for the english infantry.

Outlaw King on Netflix was pretty decent if you want to see another knights getting destroyed by filthy peasants.

^^ I would still love a mass effect spinoff that focuses more on the universe than some big bad. Garrus' time on omega seems like a really great jump off point for that.

Krogan seem the best since all the Krogan squadmates end up being likable bros compared to the other whiny aliens.

Fallout 76 isn't even really an MMO. The server population is capped at 24, and they're almost never full anyway. PVP isn't even a real thing because of the anti-griefing system. What happens if you want to pvp is you shoot somebody and they get a dueling invite, but when you hit them it takes off a fraction of damage. But if they accept your invite then their hit does full damage. So you can wait for someone to accidentally shoot you, roid out on drugs, and then one shot them. So it takes out all the thrill of life or death any time pvp in a game like Rust, while still making it so everything can be unfairly exploited by high level players.

So basically the whole cash grab MMO conversion concept that's not even a remotely competent MMO?

I'd kill for a game which captures the feeling and tone of the original X-Com but isn't glacially slow like Xenonauts or dumb like the X-Com remake.

The X-Com remake was really good even though whining about it not being exactly like the original is pretty predictable.

Phoenix point looks interesting but who knows if it will be any good...

Well it doesn't have anything like basebuilding and has a different take on setting up ambushes than X-Com 2.

Looks interesting and has many former Hitman team members on project.

Fallout 2 with all the sprites replaced with sailor moon

Edit: I started playing red dead 2 online and despite coming across a lot of players I only got shot at once and the person who did shoot at me immediately ran away

I tend to keep my weapons holstered, and people are surprisingly not as trigger happy as I thought they’d be. I’m still cautious but that’s surprising given my experience with day z and gta online

It is a really fun historical alt right weirdo hunting game.

Putting aside the quest bloat and simplified combat, Inquisition has a solid cast and plot and the areas were beautifully crafted. It kicks 2’s butt and has a better story than Origins. I don’t get the hate.

Well being better than Dragon Age 2 was a pretty low bar in all fairness, what a trainwreck DA2 was....


Inquisition makes up for weaknesses such as being able to sucker punch the smug elf party member or visit French MILF land.

okay look, there were some unfortunate narrative choices, but the gameplay is rock solid, there's so many awesome combat bros moments with Garrus, Wrex, et al, and the last mission before the ending is fantastic.

Personally, yeah its pretty good overall imo. They really had no idea how to close up the series, built up the reapers so much they couldn't figure out a way to have a nice happy ending. lol at hating it more than 1, which is way more boring in comparison, imo.

The actual ending should have been the Citadel DLC.

the mass effect 3 soundtrack makes me so emotional. don’t get me wrong, mass effect 1 music has its classics (saren’s theme, galaxy map, mass effect theme, love theme, etc.). mass effect 2 is aight, though i do love that part in garrus’ theme where it picks up. but gently caress me if at least 60% of the tracks from the third game don’t make me tear up because they are so beautiful. stand strong, stand together, i’m proud of you, i was lost without you, mars, and obviously an end, once and for all.
