NANI?

I wouldn't worry TNC can be pretty drat hard.
They will stop calling in reinforcements after a while so you can totally just barricade yourself in and wait for them to stop, though if you have a good idea where the commander is bumrushing him probably works better.

Good to know, thanks.

I still can't get over how immensely satisfying it is to barrel into a room dual-wielding machineguns and mowing down dozens of Nazis.

Is there any actual gameplay in this or is it a spreadsheet game with some waiting?

Ugh I think I might let my PS+ lapse, I haven't even played any of the free games this year, and if Injustice 2 comes out for the PC then I will have no multiplayer games either.

Well a friend of mine who suckered me into buying Battlefront for full price on the PC tried to do that again with Battlefront 2, this time I bargained him down to "we'll rent it for the PS4"

Ooh dang, Housemarque posted a letter to their fans that, due to low sales they are not going to be making any more arcade-style games and are going to look into other genres.

Sucks for the arcade shooter genre, but I look forward to seeing what else they can do.

Quiet's design falls apart at a more basic level than waving her rear end in your face in the helicopter with just the premise of "oh she needs bare skin to breathe, that's why she's sprinting at sub-sonic speeds without a sports bra". In the last mission with Quiet where she's captured, she's suffocating with the prison clothes on. The moment just her legs are free, she's fully restored and murders all three would-be rapist soldiers. You could get the same premise across with just a tanktop and khaki pants or shorts, and still look pretty drat practical for combat zones in Afghanistan and Africa.

While it's been a fair while since I've played MGS4, so correct me if I've forgotten something, but the difference with Quiet and the BB Corps is that the most fanservice-y they really get with the BB Corps is the photo mode. And it's clearly set up as a silly little extra thing you really have to try to cause. While their skintight bodysuits are absolutely for the sake of fanservice, their designs at the very least carry an element of looking like they're functionally necessary for integrating with their powered armor with all the data cables and whatnot. When they come for you in a fight, they're out to just straight-up kill Snake as professional/insane super-soldiers. Even the FROGs look functional; It's a lightweight bodysuit and armor to keep the overall weight down so they can leap up walls. Quiet, on the other hand, is played completely straight from the prison cell that's a fistful of single bills away from a seedy stripclub, 80's music and all, to just presenting like a mandrill every couple of minutes in the Aerial Command Center.


I think the photo mode is worse than you remember. All the orgasmic moaning in the background really enhances the atmosphere.

They're great at what they do, but I kinda figured they would've branched out by now. Resogun was so polished and awesome that at the time I figured the next step was something, oh I dunno, more expansive...


Instead they made 5-6 more games in Resogun's image in as many years.

Pretty much a straight port. The only updates they've listed are:

New cinematic camera angles
Higher quality textures
Regular PS4 does 1080p; PS4 Pro does 4k

I'm trying to finish Shadow Warrior 2 so I can play The New Order. But its kind of turning into a slog.

SW2 is almost great. the weapon upgrade system SUCKS. It's like, you would think getting these things constantly would eventually mean I would get better ones, but the best ones I have are ones I've had since the literal beginning of the game. I've got blues that are better than oranges. It's really lame.

This is weird. I got solid improvements to my gems through the whole game, although I did make a lot of use of the crafting thing to get better elemental gems. It really pays to get your weapons to 100% of an element. I just put two weapons with 100% of each element on my hotbar and never changed that, except for the one annoying boss who is immune to all elements.


If it's getting boring I would just come back to it later instead of burning out on it. The story is disjointed, incomprehensible garbo and feels completely unfinished too, so there's not a lot of content you haven't seen already because the levels are randomly generated. There's more weapons and skills and a few bosses, but otherwise the experience isn't going to change much. Just play it for as long as you're enjoying the gameplay.

The Amnesia games are easy as hell and not scary at all. The first one is rather old so the graphics are PS2 quality. A Machine for Pigs is more of a walking simulator than an actual game (not surprising; it was made by the Dear Esther devs). It's also pretentious as hell. At least the graphics are much better.

I still can't get over what a random game LA Noire is for Rockstar to port. Why not RDR or even GTA4?
