Remember how the end of Undying had a big thing about how the stuff going on at the mansion wasn't the only place where this poo poo was happening? And then nothing came of it.


Also, speaking of jiggle tech, I was playing Samurai Warriors 4: Empires earlier and noticed something kind of terrible. If you do a multi-Musou attack with a male officer it cuts to a close up of their face before the attack, if you do it with a female officer it cuts to a close up of their chest.

Bioshock is an atmospheric FPS with a magic system and mediocre 90s combat, I think that's what you're looking for.

I had the worst Overwatch run last night. After losing a few close matches, I had a match where we had a bad defensive round and someone on my team ragequit which in competitive pretty much screws over your team and then after a close win on the first round next match I had another player drop out )this time more likely due to connection issues) and then we got steamrolled.

Hopefully I can turn my bad streak around. I've been playing some quickplays just to unwind and try out some new characters (Winston seems cool and I for the life of me can't figure out Zarya)

That's what I'd want a sequel for. They set it up as a "the events involving Undying involved just a subdeity of a pantheon of horrifying elder beings" or whatever, and that traces of their existence were left in other parts of the world that may have already been messed with like the circle of stones or whatever in undying had.

I'm not sure if you're just trying to be funny or not since undying and bioshock barely resemble each other. Like, bioshock having some magic stuff and undying having some magic stuff aren't really similar at all and the combat in undying was pretty good since you were given a variety of neat weapons and spells to work with (until the final area of the game where you had to deal with some awful sniping enemies)

I thought Jericho suffered from being rushed tho, and I'd heard that the gameplay itself wasn't awful, just bland and boring and the level design was really it was really poo poo.

Batman TT will be like $10 before the end of the year (if not way earlier) so just wait. Unless you're really enthusiastic about it there's no reason to buy a TT game on release because the season passes for those get cheap really quickly.

It had a really cool atmosphere and a lot of neat ideas but I never actually beat it; too repetetive or something. I still remember the :black101: death animations that could befall you though.

Zarya is all about abusing her fast recharging barriers to duck in and out of combat while maintaining high energy on her beam. She's best against spammy heroes like D.VA and Junkrat as they'll inadvertently help you charge up a lot. Use her shields reactively when you or an ally get focused and turn on allied health bars under the character specific options so that you can see who needs shielding. Her beam goes through a lot of things like Reinhardt and D.VA's shields.

i haven't played in a week or so but it goes through reinhardt's shield now? that seems pretty OP.

her shot does go through genji's deflects though so she is kinda "strong" vs him in that he can't do a deflect as a last resort / counter against her.

It isn't completely dissimilar but it's hardly the same kind of thing. Like, yeah, both games let you use a gun and also magic at the same time but they're entirely different aesthetics and atmospheres and playstyles

It's not the worst game I've played, but cool art design (which it definitely has) doesn't make up for weak combat, forgettable levels, and pretty eh writing.
