I always liked that the explanation for the gunblade was that you pulled the trigger and it violently shakes the blade, making your swings way more damaging. It's actually a really boring and realistic answer for something that looks so loving goofy.

When did they say that? they've been tight-lipped on that project for god knows how long.

Not to hype it, but if it has the same attention to detail Witcher 3 had, it's an instant GOTY

I hope so, because that's too big. Hell, Witcher 3 was already too big considering how middling its gameplay systems were.

Re:gunblade chat

The female rangers in dungeon fighter online eventually get a skill that lets them turn their revolvers into revolverblades that they can use like yo-yos where they fire them out and do all kinds of acrobatic poo poo with them while the guns keep firing. Also they're connected by a chain so they're gunchuk revolverblades.

Splatoon 2 underwhelmed me more than I was expecting but as high as my expectations for Mario are, I also have trouble believing it won't live up to them. The game just looks insane in the best possible ways

Also I bought Star Wars Battlefront because despite how bad and probably dead it is, $5 for all the content seemed worth it just to look at the nice visuals and play through the VR mission

It is. Its a dumb game that cost too much for not enough content, but its easily one of the best looking games of all time. DICE's new method of photo/laser scanning real-world objects into not just textures but entire profiles of reflection and sheen and things like that is really amazing. The artists actually went on-location to the places where Lucas filmed Star Wars and sourced the same trees and dirt and sand. And it shows.

Also the sound design is phenomenal. Everything sounds exactly as it should if you were watching a Star Wars film. Even the screen transition when you respawn is a classic Lucas style corner screen slow wipe.

How arcane and inscrutable is this game? I tried it a couple years back and had no idea what I was doing, so I stopped. On the other hand, every time I see it mentioned, it sounds insane and right up my alley.

What did you find arcane and inscrutable about it? It's just a beat em up RPG where you can input custom button inputs to do an attack or you can press a hotkey to do an attack and you have way more control over your character than you would in a typical mmorpg that has your standard skill hotkey layout thing.

I don't know. It felt like there were a bunch of things flashing on screen and a whole mess of mechanics that I had no idea what they did. Maybe I'll just sit down and give it an earnest try.

You'll definitely eventually reach a point where there is a fuckload of poo poo on screen and you'll be dealing all the damage with all the numbers, but you start off small, getting spoonfed skills quickly enough that you'll figure out whatever combos work best for you and by the time you do that, you'll find you've gotten accustomed to the explosion overload and, in some cases, may not have even noticed that you're p much constantly surrounded by them.
