Luck as a stat in RPGs needs to be shown the door and told never to come back

luck is badass in old fallout games because it lets you create runs where everyone around you is loving up constantly and the only skill you have is loving up slightly less

I'd like to see them make an assassin's creed adaptation of gangs of new york. I think that'd be pretty cool.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is in this time period, just in London. You control your own street gang and most of the game is beating up opposing gangs, usually by dislocating their shoulders or smashing them in the face with your brass knuckles

Edit: The main villain is even a Daniel Day-Lewis copycat, but less Bill the Butcher and more Daniel Plainview

Even Martin Scorsese couldn't make Gangs of New York work- it's one of his worst films. I kind of doubt the Assassin's Creed people could do it well either.

I finally got around to beating Kirby Triple Deluxe despite owning it since shortly after it came out

Not much to say, Kirby games still own, and so do their finales.

I need to play through that again, I got the the last world when it came out and then my kids deleted my save file so I never bothered playing it again.

I'm still impressed by how dang good looking Kirby's Adventure is

It really is gorgeous. There aren't many NES games out there that had me stopping every now and then to appreciate the fantastic colour choices and cute backgrounds.

I finished it a little while ago and I'm still smiling after that explosive finale. The Meta Knight fight had such a great action feel I couldn't believe it was off a NES at all. The screen flashing and shaking when your swords clash!! Unnnff

I saw the original Blade Runner yesterday in theaters, it was remastered in 4K, and it was glorious. Not my first time seeing the movie by any means, but first time seeing it in theaters since I didn't exist yet when it was in theaters in 1982. Can't wait for 2049, the early reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

I forgot where I read this but Ubisoft has anti-high fantasy development culture, that's why Assassin's Creed continues its simulation meta-narrative framework and even their knights vs. samurai vs. vikings fightman game still bothers explaining it with an alt-timeline portal. BG&E2 if it ever gets released will be their most fantastical IP in a very long time.

There's a bug in the game where petting a dog will break the relationship between it and the NPC walking it, so they just forget about the dog (look in that video how the NPCs immediately switch focus to each other and the dog runs away at the end). There are no owners, pet all dogs

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
petting a dog actually frees it from ownership, like giving a sock to a house elf

This is my first foray into Kirby games, can't believe they've eluded me for so long. Tryna go chronologically so I tore through Dreamland before this. The biggest surprise, next to how well made both of these games are, was that Dreamland didn't even have the copy ability.

Hello chat thread! As it is now October, I can ask my question that I really hope to hear your answers to.

What is your perfect game, and why?

Not favourite game, but perfect game. (Unless your favourite is perfect!).

Mine is Portal2.
Everything about it is made for me. The game is my level of difficult, my level of engaging storyline and humour. I love the way the tale unfolds and how much of it does. I love that is treats me intelligently. I love the voice acting (Stephen Merchant is inspired and one of my favourite comedians) and feel it is pitch perfectly delivered. I love the structure of the story and the end and I just cannot stop loving on it. I love the music!

I thought the first portal was fine. Not astounding, but great fun and a nice little diversion.

Portal2 sang to me as someone who enjoys video games. It just causes me to gush. I've even sent gushing emails to some of the people who worked on it!
