Well that's good. It was weird that they were advertising it by going "look at this lady, she stars in it as a voice actor of a character, isn't that cool" when it was much cooler imo that you could wreck the terrain

The Jupiter Hell kickstarter guys got the voice of male Sheppard from Mass Effect to advertise their game, which is......???? Okay, not sure how that happened, but okay!

I am now up to Velvet's story and the game is just so good through and through. It'sw amazing how they took a character that was hard as hell to play in the original (Velvet) and pretty much made her into Kratos.
It's a fantastic update, but I have to say it feels a little easy. I've been playing on Normal and effortlessly S-ranking most stages. The answer might just be to switch to Hard mode, but still.

Also, while I like the addition of the traveling Pooka chef, I kinda dislike how they handled the pre-existing Pooka restaurants.

Yeah, but....why the voice actor? Why that dude? I'd think an advertisement from one of the Doom devs would be more.... worthwhile, not a rando voice actor.

I've been playing on hard and haven't had that much trouble getting S ranks though some battles can still be a bitch. Wagner has a move that can basically instakill you and that makes that fight aggravating considering all of his other moves are no big deal. Also the two yeti fight is a nightmare.

I don't mind the money pooka restaurants. The more experience and hit points, the better really and if I recall you needed to give them money and ingredients before so I'm fine with them making those two separate restaurant types.

I wonder if I'll ever actually get around to playing Yakuza 5. I was pretty lukewarm on 3 but rather liked 4 when you got to play as the cop who could counter moves. Just don't know if there's enough there for me to commit to another game.

It's the teenager mentality of 'I'm going to run away and something will happen to me and then you'll all be sorry'. The person is basically mentally a teenager which is ok if he really is one.

Did rainbow six siege end up any good? I doubt I could ever run it and IIRC it is mostly based around multiplayer so it'll probably be dead by the time I could feasibly play it, but I liked the idea of being able to destroy the terrain and shoot and dig through walls and floors and ceilings and stuff

I think people were surprised by how good it is. It's not the kind of shooter that gets released these days so it built up a pretty devoted cult following.

I am trying to get my PlayStation 3 back just so I can finally play Yakuza 5. Hopefully this month. I have never played these games before, but the PlayStation thread brings it up a lot and I watched a Youtube recently that explained why Yakuza 5 was so amazing and so now I really want to play it.

They're very goofy and fun games, but I think I just have so little patience for exploring open world games. So much of the content in 3/4 felt like busy work, which is why the only real amount of fun I had was with certain combat situations (aforementioned cop character). That's not to say the individual zany moments in the story are not a blast because they certainly are, I just get so bored in between them.

I hope he is a teenager because that'd be the least embarrassing thing about him in this situation.

Rainbow Six: Siege is like the JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot of the video game world. It's a pretty good sci-fi action movie... but it's a terrible Star Trek movie.

It'll be cheap again. I believe that Titanfall 2 will have regular discounts in stores and as a downloadable title because it keeps their momentum up. If you want to play a shooter and you don't have an innate preference between TF2 and the new Call of Duty, seeing one nearly half the price of the other is good bait. They want to build the player base on Sony consoles so when they release Titanfall 3 in a year or two people will have positive feelings about the franchise. They'll keep it competitively priced and give all the DLC that effects gameplay for free, compared to Infinite Warfare which can be $80 for the legacy edition with another ~$30 for a season pass for maps that will see limited rotation because it fragments the player base. I know that when I played a lot of BLOPS3, nearly anytime I was in a party with goons it would always been the standard maps because at least one person didn't have the expansions.

Titanfall 2 has a solid single player campaign that doesn't take too long to beat and teach the player a lot about how to maneuver and utilize the Titan. Multiplayer is great fun in any of the modes and I hope that anyone curious gives it a shot during the free weekend.

the guns feel like toys and somehow a franchise whose whole gimmick is the movement stuff didnt do the movement stuff as well as black ops 3 did. its very generic but doesnt even have good gun play to make up for it like cod does.
