I just hope Microsoft's stupidity doesn't gently caress over Remedy because I'd like Alan Wake 2 to happen.

Nobody saw this coming and are genuinely shocked.

I get MS wants their own store platform to get a cut of stuff/not let Valve make money off stuff, but they seem entirely incompetent in doing so.
They also want to push their stupid UWP thing, because people really want to play PC games designed for cell phones/tablets.

according to GB, quantum break is a 6-10 hour (including and hour or two of full motion video) boring mess that makes the order 1886 seem varied in its gameplay

The core gameplay of Alan Wake was some of the most boring I've ever seen in a shooter, there's only two kinds of enemies and they all take forever to kill because of the stupid flashlight gimmick.

To be fair to Remedy the game's development was basically tanked by Microsoft using them to launch their television studio only to shut it down two years before the game even came out

Alan Wake remains one of those games I desperately want to play, despite it being probably pretty bad.

I watched a whole LP on it and the worst thing seemed to be that they basically only had one boss fight, when they clearly hint at several.

Hello fellow gamers! What first-person shoot-em-ups are you looking forward to this year? I am most excited for Shadow Warrior 2 by Flying Hog Games and Space Hulk: Deathwing by Streum On Studio.

Semper games! :cool:
Shadow Warrior 2 is gonna be cool. I'll get some fun out of Doom 4... I probably SHOULD be interested in Overwatch given how much TF2 I've played over the years, but it just hasn't grabbed me from looking at videos and such.

Mineral oil. It's industrial application stuff, so you can probably order a whole drat drum of it if you were inclined.

Dpad is on a material with conductive contacts, so if it's creaking/squeaking, either the dpad is misaligned or something else is in there. Clean it out, and if you can, check the rubbery pad under the hard plastic; if that tore, it might make the dpad rub against the housing. Both require taking the controller apart, unfortunately.

I liked Fallout 4, but it suffers from the same shoddy construction as all games by that studio.

Pretty though, loved the creepy radiation dust cloud zone.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I think the gaming landscape is better for having Undertale as a part of it. There, that's my wildly divisive opinion on a popular game.

What's the deal with the name "Megalovania"? Is there a story behind why it's called that? I get "Megalomaniacal" for the first part, but "Vania" i slike, Castlevania and I dunno, is the song based on a Castlevania piece?

Toby first used it in his old Earthbound hack and then afterwards he used it for Homsetuck. It's sort of become his own recurring theme.

There was a game called live-a-live with a boss song called megalomania and he wanted to recreate that but for whatever reason either he couldnt or decided not to so he made his own thing and changed the name to megalovania
