Yeah I don't know why Stux posted it like that but he's right, Dark Souls (at least Demon's and DS1) is an exception to that because the NPCs make it pretty clear they have their own agendas and poo poo to do. It's only in Dark Souls 2 that they start permanently hanging around Majula just so that you don't have to go track them down to buy poo poo from them or whatever.

THEY ARE ALSO DOING THAT IN DEMONS SOULS MOSTLY. EVEN THEN IN DS2 AND DEMONS THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO REALLY THINK YOU'RE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING ARE THE MAIDENS, EVERYONE ELSE COULD GENERALLY GIVE A gently caress

I always found it very interesting how excited and proud people are for defeating a nasty boss in the Souls series even though barely anyone notices or cares inside the actual game. That disconnect works really well, for me at least, but I don't know why. Perhaps it's because the indifference of the NPCs makes victory all the sweeter. Even though you're inside a dying world where most people have given up on hope, you are the only one capable and willing to make poo poo happen.

You are making a difference in an indifferent world, basically.

I saw pretty much every gameplay element from Just Cause 2 and no new ones in the slightest in this video.

So yeah I'll probably be buying it day one.

Yeah it mostly looks like JC2 but with better lighting.

Though stronger/longer wires appear to be incorporated into the base game instead of as a mod?

So does anyone know if the new State of Decay re-release is any good? It's got the DLC, HD remaster, and I guess they worked on all the mechanics and say there was a focus on the combat mechanics. I enjoyed this game but there were major mechanics (combat in particular) that were very lacking.

Is there still going to be an MMO? That might actually be fun, despite hitting zombie burnout years ago.

It has been four or five days and my back is not much better, but I spent yesterday playing Donkey Kong 64, because holding the controller was actually easier on my back than using a laptop or sitting at a computer. I'm back at work now, though, and there is no crew of monkeys to save me from the pinching spine pain.

the fatalities in mortal kombat 10 are kind of lame. hardly any of them are funny.

brutalities are cool though cause they don't extend the match by 10 seconds and you can do them by accident

I tried to send them both in as testimonials that Nintendo could use, but their legal department responded with a letter requesting that I do not sue if it turns out the back pain is a result of stress from the buzzard mini game.

I have discovered the trick to all the barrel mini-games to make them more enjoyable: cheat by using the single save state that they give you, to get the absolute most out of every second.

Also "barrel" is a way to say "trash" in the Boston lexicon, so it is funny to me that all of them essentially sound like "garbage bin games" when I refer to them.

I dunno, I watched the GB Quicklook and wasn't really impressed with the setting. I also heard it was mediocre to bad. Is this not true? If I'm missing out, let me know.

e: Still noone to weigh in on the State of Decay Year One? gently caress it, I'll take the plunge. Trip report at some point.
