I'm a bigass Aloy fan and that won't change, but Deek has big crazy idiot energy and it's real good.

Deacon is probably more entertaining than Aloy. I enjoyed Aloy more as a player surrogate and Deacon more as corny dude that never shuts up. Horizons story was still like 100 times better than days gone though.

Deacon #1 unhinged apocalypse biker. Just fuckin psychopath poo poo. Clambering through the bushes like, "Oh yeah. You like dying. You wanna get low? I'll get you loving low. You'll drown in blood you motherfuckin sonsabitches gently caress you".* *This is before I've even attacked the camp

If they did one thing right its give deacon a side character in this game that pops up randomly as you fight or wander into enemy territories of him whispering to himself more than BJ blaskowitz. If you want to have a potential character for a violent video game and you don't want to go full DOOM 2016 where they are just a silent pantomime that breaks poo poo and is impatient for the next killspree, this is the sort of poo poo you should give your protagonist that the player might never hear at all - rambling about poo poo to them-self out of cutscene.

Yeah Aloy is a good blank slate with a dry sense of humor and that's why I like her. Also I already posted this in the PS4 thread, but I love being able to make inappropriate facial expressions in photo mode.    The best part is immediately after I took these Sarah was like "you enjoyed that a little to much" and Deacon was like "Killing Newts? I don't enjoy that. They are annoying though"

Did this game just not come out in Germany? Isn't that the country with extremely strict laws about never showing violence against children?

It's one of the biggest European markets. Also, this "Germany is so strict on violence" thing hasn't been all that true in like 10 years, and there never were specific laws about "never showing violence against children".

China sort of does. I think Australia has censored some games but as far as I can tell that's not the case with Days Gone If you shoot someone in chinese PUBG they spray green blood, and if you kill them they wave thank you, then run off the battlefield lol.

Oh okay. I just recall how Fallout and a few other games had to remove the children from the game or whatever. Didn't know the laws had changed.

For a while, there were two government agencies competing for authority over videogames in China mandating all kinds of weirdness (including the WoW bones thing).Reign Of Pain posted:Doesn't Australia have some dumbfuck laws about games not having red blood or some poo poo like that Australia's rating system used to top out at "15+", which is why some games only saw low-violence releases over there.

Yeah that was a real kick in the dick. I just finished the game finally, felt like it slightly overstayed its welcome. That being said, I'm not quite burnt out on it like I was with Rage 2 after I finished; still going to go back for some more horde killin'. They should have some DLC where you strap poo poo to your bike so you can mow-down hordes.

Used to be that Australia didn't have an 18+ category, only 15+. Changes to federal classifications required the consent of all state attorney generals and one single religious fogey in South Australia effectively vetoed it for years. There's been the 18+ category for a while now. But they are still funny about drugs or sex as 'rewards or incentives' in games. Which is why calling a health powerup 'morphine' will get games refused classification. Also anything sexual with an underage/presented as underage character gets RC'd which is mostly anime jerkoff games but occasionally things like South Park Stick of Truth on account of Butters getting an abortion device up his khyber pass.

The scene where Sarah allows Deek to go to a sex dungeon to get dominated by a mistress was kind of weird, I'll give you that.

When I’m wrong I’m wrong. Now that my bike isn’t rear end and I’m well enough equipped to have fun exploring and clearing out hordes this is a lot of fun! Also getting to Lost Lake helped. More camaraderie and less deciding if I want to send survivors to a slave plantation or Infowars.camp really helps it fell less beleaguering.

I've taken down similar sized hordes in the wild but oh my god, the horde takedown mission is so loving annoying. I hate this games out of bounds zones. I could beat this no problem if I wasn't constrained to a dense area where I'm trying to navigate a maze while constantly having to turn around to blow poo poo up or throw explosives causing me to hit a dead end for 1 second, which is long enough to kill me.

I’m talking about the specific story mission where you have to take down the horde and you can’t leave that parking lot.

Best horde experience I had was when I missed one of the speakers at the End Of The World NERO lab and brought a giant group down on myself. Spent god knows how many tense minutes circling around and back to the camp, picking off 10 or so each loop, refilling my ammo at my bike when I needed, until eventually I had them down to a level where I could stand my ground and clear the remaining. Had like... 20 close calls but kept barely staying ahead of the horde of finding a bandage with barely enough time to pick it up. Moments like that are definitely when the game shines.
