You should go with Dragon's Dogma because it's actually a good game.

Yeah it looks like a good game. I missed out on it when it first came out on ps3 and never got a chance to go back to it. Now I get to experience it for the first time in HD woop!

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

I should note that I haven't played Shadow of War, but I intensely dislike what the publisher did with it and I have a slew of issues with Shadow of Mordor.

Dragon's Dogma has some amount of weird jank to it but is overall a very good game that I put many, many hours into.

Chatter is that the Shadow of War microtransactions are completely irrelevant unless you get into the asynchronous invasion multiplayer for whatever reason or want to keep playing after the ending

Now you know how I don't like to use the sit-down gun, but this morning we just don't have time for mucking about.

Playing through to the postgame, I still don't get why the microtransactions are in there, unless you obsessively HAVE to have Legendary equipment, which you don't. You can completely ignore them if you don't have a severe spectrum disorder.

It's weird how many games that had long, troubled dev cycles actually got released in 2017. We've had Overgrowth, Hat in Time, Last Guardian, FFXV, Cuphead, Persona 5, Grimoire(Quality notwithstanding, it did come out), A Metroid game...

Good to see people's hard work actually paying off in the end, makes me less skeptic about announcements like Prime 4 or BG&E2.

I have zero interest in BGE2 but I'm holding off that it ends up like a Splatoon level surprise.

Legit interested in that Starlink game.

It's a Pirahna Bytes game so it's probably their rebranded Risen which means it's huge, pretty, obtuse as gently caress, and a source of unintentional hilarity.

I played through all of Shovel Knight in coop with my brother. Its the kind of coop where actual cooperation never exists and you'll end up killing each other without even trying.

death is still kinda bullshitty even with the cross. long hallway full of medusa heads and axe throwin guys and his scythes are really annoying to avoid

i do appreciate them giving you a checkpoint right before dracula that's pretty cool for a nes game

I am saddened that there was never a company-wide crossover event for Konami games concerning Warlord Chromosomes.

Assuming that was an actual thing in the Japanese version of the manual.

it's easier to get the Cross to level 3 and keep it to kill Dracula easily than to keep Holy Water until Death and then get the Cross for Dracula because then you'll never get it even to level 2

i always kept holy water until Frankenstein, then got the guaranteed Cross to level 3

i played that game a LOT when i was a kid

In retrospect the giant curveball of Prey 2 being a genre flip/reboot should have been a big sign that publishers slapping old IP names onto misfit projects they're funding was going to become a thing

tbh I'm surprised the practice isn't more common already

my grandparents bought me that literally the day my family was moving across the country from NJ to FL. when we got to FL, my stepdad's company put us in cheap temporary housing for an entire month during which time everything we owned (including my NES but not the game cartridge itself) was in storage. for an entire month i listened to jane's addiction and read dragonlance novels dreaming of the magical day i would FINALLY get to play the sequel to probably my favorite NES game ever
