god i hate those fuckers

don't get me wrong, i figured out how to kill them, but the game explicitly trains you to always either be bouncing around keeping your distance OR right up in the monster's face and then oh by the way here's a guy who is invulnerable and will instantly murder you unless you're between 10 and 10.5 meters away, also even then you can only hit him for 0.2 seconds every 5. bullshit

I played through it on Ultraviolence and realized that I don't want to go through it again on Nightmare to wind up hating the game when I get back to those dudes.

Still holds as a pretty solid game through to the end for me.

I'm about 20hrs in and it is almost 100% the Tenchu remake I wanted. There are so many amazing parts that complete the whole, but even with the story being somewhat of an "afterthought" regarding authenticity it still holds up and looks amazing as gently caress.

vr is a big ol' mehburger. there are some briefly fun experiences but it gets boring quickly.

the new HP headset with the 8-megapixel display seems like it might be decent, though, so call me back when it doesn't need a supercomputer to hold 90fps.

PSVR continues to be a solid entrance into VR without being too cumbersome but I agree outside of a few games it doesn't retain much novelty so far.

Ghost of Tsushima was beautiful and had excellent gameplay. The story heavily borrows from samurai tropes established by Kurosawa and the ending was real drat good.

I bought death stranding because it was on sale at Best Buy and I like the little bit of the game I’ve played so far but holy gently caress Kojima let me play the drat game. in the first hour of game time, probably 55 minutes of it is cutscene and 5 minutes is you actually controlling it

You are absolutely going to hate the ending, then. The story itself holds up really nicely for the current times and the mechanics are simply amazing that all that poo poo was stuffed into controller gestures.

Anyone know a good, but cheap, gaming monitor? I'm eating input lag in the 20-60ms range due to old, low refresh rate monitors and it bothers me. The only things that matter to me are low input lag and high refresh rate. Colors and 4k can take a walk.

I've had an LG IPS LED monitor and it gets 60hz but has zero lag from gaming in the past two years and I think it was like $150 at the time.
It's my side monitor now.

I never got or get anxiety when I smoke because I don't care if people know I'm high. I think the illegality of it added a lot to anxiety and the classic paranoia thing

Some of the Battle Royale games give me super mad anxiety when I survive longer than anticipated because I'm dumb and bad at games but that thrill is irreplaceable.

It's real good but I suck at stringing combos together so there's a re-learning curve now that I have to get all the skaters back up to 100%.
Game is legit fun as gently caress but they also included the bad levels I don't like.

speaking of, I got the Link running and had an hours fun with Wreckfest on a cinema sized screen with loud 5.1 sound; I beat the '3-Wheel Van vs 26 School Buses' race that had plagued me for so long, and also was last man standing in two 26-car Demolition Derbies (and also got the bonus points for required damage score and opponents wrecked) :cool:

If you like car smashing you really should take a look at it.


Wreckfest is soooo good but I beat is like the week after launch. Did they add more content to the game or do I have to rely on the Steam workshop for that?

the bow is one of my favorites. it must just be play style or something, i just sit back and plink away at enemies from far away and it works pretty well. you can easily keep everything at arms length and dodge away from the bad stuff. alternatively the special can be emphasized by going very close range and trying to get every shot in the enemy you want dead.

Wait until you unlock The Gun because I've had the most fun with the modifications you can get along the way for that weapon.
Hades is good but it took me a bit of time for it to all click.
