Both of the new Telltale games series completely rule, by the way. They have become one of my favorite developers. Also Borderlands has some sweet as hell theme music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MsP-87pACY

Narcissus1916 posted:Anyon ever get error code CE-36244-9. I downloaded the new lara croft and Tales from borderlands last night, and they both work fine. Then I tried to download game of thrones and it refuses to download after a few minutes. Try "restore licenses". Otherwise, sit tight until there's an official word on the issue. I really, really doubt it'll come down to a total reformat.

It's not about affecting the plot so much as the character relationships, which partly requires your imagination because most of the dialogue is exactly the same no matter what you do. But you can interpret it differently, depending  Don't play Telltale games if making massive changes to the plot is the hook for you.

blowingupcasinos posted:2) The locking mechanism to keep players from playing stages is passed via random-number-generator (essentially loot drops, but... RNG from now on) and not SKILL. The game shows some merit on its way through the campaign to 20, but is never balanced. In fact, "winning" a RNG bonus decreases the value of the game because... the interesting mechanics become inconsequential to RAW DAMAGE or whatever bonus RNG you got. It's like getting a better drop gives you less game to play. The worst part is that after 20, you're literally hoping for drops to level you from 20 to the next "level" which is essentially levels you've played before but exploiting the same cool gunplay you were hoping for the first time around. probably been said a million times everywhere but you arent meant to rely on drops in destiny, you are meant to get the vanguard/crucible/faction marks and rep and buy that poo poo.

Although re-interpretations of the same scene can be interesting if executed correctly, I thought Infamous Second Son did this quite well.

I think what The Walking Dead (Season 1) did better was throwing in more exploration/puzzle segments which helped mentally justify it as a "video game" for skeptics. But I really enjoy the character interaction element so the choices feel important to me I guess.

The Destiny expansions make more sense when you think of them as the big post release patches in mmos that you normally pay $15/mo for, except you only have to pay it every 3 months, and Destiny 2 and 3 are the real expansions.homeless snail posted:Except this week they changed the way rep works to make it way grindier to buy rep gear, in lieu of adding real content. Only 2 pieces of the new armor require the commendations, the Boots and the Gloves don't require commendations and it should be enough to get you to 31 and raid ready.

Like there would have to be absolutely no question about what it was. It would also need to be constantly patched like an MMO. Something like the Loot Cave should have been patched out within hours of its discovery, nevermind the ridiculous bugs that are still in the Atheon fight in Vault of Glass.

Well yeah I mean I would expect things to change as far as updates and content obviously. I've always said the only reason they keep saying "it's not an MMO!" Is because they don't want people to think they have to pay monthly. Just whatever. Just charge 5 bucks a month, give everyone the maps and new poo poo and have better support.

The band's Jungle and the album is self titled. But yeah, Borderlands has had some great theme tunes. Really loving loved the Cage the Elephant tune that was the theme song in original Borderlands. Fit the tone so well.

The worst part is Xbox owners who get charged full price for less content re: Destiny. Pay for this content now, but access it in a year from now when you likely don't want to play the game anymore.

Although I'd probably bet there was a fair amount of poo poo they skimmed off just to sell it in an expansion later.

I hope Driveclub is one of the daily 12 days of Christmas deals. I believe.... *claps hands* E: Just upgraded my hardrive and it was pretty smooth sailing. The update file didn't download correctly first time round, but second download was a charm. Now I can buy more game and throw them onto the eternal backlog.

For anyone still interested in TLOU factions, they released a pretty substantial update with lot of rebalancing as well as new weapons and perks yesterday. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed it.

goferchan posted:I picked up Chariot again last night after trying it out at launch and man, that game's really good. I don't think I'd recommend it unless you have somebody to regularly play locally or shareplay it with, though -- it's pretty obviously built from the ground up with co-op in mind. Even in the first few levels the difficulty of some of the optional puzzles is pretty intense and require a lot of thinking and coordination, it feels really rewarding and I can't wait to see what else is coming because the game looks pretty big I wanted to want this so bad after watching the quick look a while back. Local Only multiplayer is an instant no-go for me. Shareplay is cool, but it has it's handicappings.

For what it's worth this would be a TERRIBLE game to play with strangers online, it requires a ton of cooperation and communication to pull off the trickier stuff that's already a challenge when you're sitting right next to your co-op buddy.
