Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Ok, enough is enough, this is going nowhere. Racism is bad, kids are dumb, congratulations. You're basically making this thread D&D for people who can't put enough effort to make a proper argument so they'll drop their hot takes in the games chat thread to feel better about themselves.

Shut up about things other than games for the next day. No people talk, just games. Talk about what games you play and what you like about them.

Make a Jontron thread if you want so that I can gas it in a week.

Thanks.

I can't tell how near I am to the end of Horizon, it looks like there's a point of no return coming up but there's been a fake PONR before and a ton of hidden achievements still remaining, plus I keep discovering sidequests in new places.

Entries get more and more filled out as the game goes on and there's a lot of one-off encounters that have their own write ups which is neat. I usually don't care about stuff like that but the writing is pretty funny and occasionally touching

Why doesn't Amazon Prime give you the 20% off new games if you want a digital download code, wouldn't it save them money to not have to ship it to me? This makes no sense!

We got an Amazon gift card and now I have to pick between saving $12 on Andromeda or playing it at midnight. :mad:

It took me about 62 hours to clear Horizon for the first time doing almost everything. I don't know if that includes the 2 hours I spent dying to the Stormbird in Pitchcliff on very hard before I even got to Meridian.

The characters look a little weird but everything else looks pretty good to me, though I haven't played the original version in years.

I picked up Nier, Nioh and Yakuza 0 in the Target Buy 2 get 1 Sale and it's terrible because I had to wait for shipping and now I own games on discs and digital codes seem like they'd be cheaper to the retailer :smith:.

I'm assuming it has something to do with needing to clear out physical stock and there's probably some arcane reason on the game publisher's end too, like physical game sales look better than digital ones for some reason related to super outdated ways of accounting or something.

e: though considering you can't ever trade in or re-sell a digital copy of a game I would think they'd be offering discounts for buying digital constantly

I miss warrior monk Thane, murderjoke Grunt, Quarian teenager, and Yvonne Strahovski already

The prime 20% off competes with a best buy program, I don't know if there's anything like it for digital games. The only thing I can think of is the 10% humble monthly discount and that's just PC games.

Some of them will definitely be brick walls too, level wise. I did the same thing and returned to them much later in the game and they felt much more balanced, fair and fun.

I did the black belt fight with the master and he was level 30 and I was 16 I think. I won by chugging potions but man oh man am I not going to his next form until I've leveled a bit.

I'm starting to think the Games industry doesn't make sense. As far as I'm aware, no publishers have even tried "buy our console game digitally and save tenbux" even though that should theoretically save them money later by having one less used copy out in the wild.

Buying download codes does not clear warehouses you want empty for other articles.
