Tekken with Pokemon, made by Namco.

its really not like tekken at all beyond having references to the series. its pretty much its own thing entirely but it's super fun. namco makes really good fgs, this is a great year to be playing them

The Battleborn Free Trial is a whole new way to experience Battleborn without having to pay a dime. The Free Trial encompasses UNLIMITED Competitive Multiplayer play, including access to all four competitive multiplayer modes, a rotating roster of free playable heroes, and the same character and account growth and progression you would find in the full game.

lol how is it that they manage to gently caress up every single part of the failed game manifesto

So this is far from scientific, but despite going F2P ("No it's not eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" - Randy Pitchford), Steamcharts shows under 400 people playing Battleborn as of 35 minutes ago. :lol:

Sometimes when I need a pickmeup I go to Steam's concurrent user page and find Battleborn usually wedged somewhere in between Saint's Row 2 and anime VNs.

i started over in No Man's Sky again and it clicked for me better than ever, i got lost on a planet with huge mountains and vast caves and really insane rock formations and i finally got around to making a vehicle

shame it launched half-finished because the game is good af right now and there's at least one more big DLC (possibly a paid, story-based one too)

Sixteen moderators of No Man’s Sky-devoted subreddits r/NoMansSkyTheGame, r/NMSportals and r/NMSGalacticHub each received cassette tapes, numbered from 1 – 16. What’s on the tapes is currently unknown, but reader speculation is running rampant on Reddit.

yeah something is def happening at E3 it looks like

e: tape 3 Came with a note saying "The giant gateway calls out to me, filling my mind with whispered secrets of a far-flung world", which is an ingame line related to portals, Hello Games asking for shipping address

tape 7 Came with a poster, quote says something is "next", had the same note as 3, Played the tape, it's 0.065 days of static

so 65DOS did record new music for the game a while back, soooooo
