Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is actually pretty good. loan sharks, gouging customers on prices, and anime characters that are tolerable.

As of now there are pre-made lobbies that cycle out. You race against other people online or whomever you're in a club with. Private lobbies is supposedly in the works.

There is a fully realized time trial mode that is, I think, the heart of the game. Pick a car, weather, time of day, rate of time change, track, and go race. There is no rallying. Tracks are based on real-world roads found in each country. There are proper tracks, which are fictional. You also have the ability to do all of that, but in a one-off race, and then there's the actual 'campaign' which is a crummy old school Tour mode that requires specific goals to be met to earn starts that unlock other events. It can get grindy and not fun. I'd rather just make my own races to earn XP that way.

It's no secret that I love Driveclub. It's a game that tosses a very good selection of cars onto some fun road/track courses with fully dynamic weather and day/night cycle. There's just an absolute ton of variety and challenge inherent to the game because of that.

The handling model skews towards sim in the sense that smart, proper driving is rewarded while the ability to kick out the tail of a car and beat up on it is there and equally as fun. The best way I can phrase it is it's Top Gear's style of driving come to live in an accessible manner. No need to pore over car setups or whatever. Each car drives in a unique manner and some are absolutely out to kill you for bad driving like the RUF cars, which is how they are in real life.

Here's a few screenshots I took today.

Yo fags. For anyone who got the C&C pack, there's a patch that APPARENTLY unlocks multiplayer as well as providing higher resolutions, amongst other things.
Anyone keen to try?

I just got into an Asp and am kiting it out for exploration.

Gonna find some black holes :getin:

Asp is already kitted out (class A size 5 shields were a game-changer) and my war chest is at 8 mil and climbing until they nerf trading and mining. Only thing I haven't committed to is an armor upgrade.

Question about kinetic weapons: cannons, frag cannons, or multi cannons? I have beam lasers in my medium slots and out of the other three I've been most happy with frag cannons in two of the small slots. The last two slots have seeker missiles for pure damage output on bigger targets. Thoughts?

10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING
I built mine for deep space excursions so my weapons are 4x pulse lasers (gimballed) in the small slots and gimballed cannons in the medium slots. Those only really get used against large ships.

I prefer cannons for heavy hitting kinetics but by their nature they're only really good against larger targets. My only complaint about the frag cannon is that the ammo pool is too small :argh:

Frag cannons make Vipers go POOF on the first pass after the beam lasers kill the shields. It's glorious.

The actual race track levels in driveclub are super punishing when you gently caress up since there's no wall/fence to graze and keep going. So you gently caress up and lose grip and the car just flies sideways off the track like its covered in ice. :v:

It helps to know what cars are like under braking. Some respond well to braking and steering inputs while others will just fling you into the wall if you don't brake then turn in.

Holy poo poo. The paid story expansion content for Destiny is, so far, just the same maps as the normal game, but going backward. I wish I was kidding. They are charging people for this poo poo. This is the first DLC pack and the "story" is literally just revisiting the same maps with new VO/music/audio clips and enemies swapped in from other environments with new names/life bars and maybe a palette swap.

gently caress this game forever. This is the biggest goddamn crock of poo poo I've ever seen. Bungie is straight-up ripping people off at this point, and no amount of Stockholm syndrome will convince me otherwise. I don't care how good the mechanics are anymore, if I had paid money for this, I would be even more pissed off than I already am at a game that literally forces you to replay the same limited content over and over again for dozens of hours to get loot.

This is insane.


copy/paste from ps4 thread. lol

I mean it was fun when it was all new and such but I don't get how people do the same exact strike over and over and over and fight the same bosses. Was hoping the season pass poo poo was just another part of the game they chopped up to make DLC but I guess not

The Wii U is about as strong as a 360 with more memory available to do poo poo like suspend games and open the store at the same time. However, there are a lot of really fun games that Nintendo makes and I play mine more than my PS4.

if i could still buy one of the refurbished Wii-Us from Nintendo for $200, I'd probably do so. But they sold out once Smash Bros dropped, so I'm just going to buy a new fight stick for my PS4.
