I just wish more games had co-op. Mashing through diablo with fiance and her brother was the most fun I've had playing multiplayer coop games in a long time

Original halo co-op was peak console gaming

Dishonored 2 trip report: insanely good

Even though I have to turn down the settings probably more than I should have to, it's still gorgeous at medium-ish.

Its basic gameplay systems improve on the original's in nearly every way.

The maps are inventive almost to the point of absurdity: switching back and forth between past and present at will with multiple radically different versions of the present depending on how you screw with the past, a "clockwork mansion" that is basically a big changeable maze in three dimensions, an island asylum that one-ups Arkham in every way, a giant Frank Gehry palace, a slum in the middle of gang war, a spooky museum. The best level designers are obviously back and pretty much just showing off at this point.

I did a clean-hands, low chaos run with Corvo and got pretty satisfying outcomes for every little "assassination puzzle," even if a couple felt tacked on. Next I'm going to play Emily as a sort of avenging angel blasting heads off everybody. The story was just OK, a mashup of Dishonored 1's revenge plot with the supernatural shenanigans of the Brigmore Witches DLC. I'd recommend playing those first if you haven't, actually. They still hold up and you just won't understand a lot of the sequel if you don't.

Yo dude I'm down to run through RE6 with you. I bought it when it was on sale. It can't be anytime soon but if you wanna hold off a bit I'm totally down

Man, I have barely started Nier. I haven't even started Horizon ZD. I'm about halfway through BOTW--was hoping they might patch it again somehow to improvement gameplay but lol

What a year for video games

Also Dirt 4 and Wipeout in June. 😩

Dude I'm loving pumped for some Dirt 4 and Wipeout on my KS8000 In HD/4k and poo poo. We better get some GIP races going. Dirt 3 actually had some pretty decent online, wonder how much focus they're putting into it for 4

I'm not buying it if there's no rewind function tho cause I'm bad

PvP can have its moments. Back during Wrath of the Lich King era WoW I had plenty of fun destroying Alliance pansies with my undead warlock. That was probably the last time I was really into PvP though.

I agree with this. I always felt that UT had a better design and look, but Quake controlled better and had way better netcode

Yeah it was a long time ago. I remember it was a big deal when it got cancelled. Not sure why, it woulda been popular

Wonder if they'll ever release it

Think it was supposed to be out in 2003. I always wondered why some sort of first persons Starcraft never existed

I wonder if they've patched the game in the last month or so. I haven't touched it in a while and only made it a couple hours in because it ran like hot trash on my PC no matter what I set the graphics too. The framerate jumped all over the place and the weird micro-stutters and slightly off frame pacing made me nauseated.
