It's funny because while it's a great game it's not an "excitedly announce this on the big stage at E3 with lights and music and expect the crowd to go wild" type of game

Peggle 2 is far and away the most exiting announcement in the last decade of EA

That was also coupled with "we're returning to mirror's edge" so it was like alright! they're gonna use some these ideas that they bought! but mirror's edge 2 was open wrld blase dogshit that nobody cared about after the weekend it came out. peggle 2 was alright iirc but i think it had microtransactions.

I think it just had level DLC, but if they made a peggle 3 today it would definitely have lootboxes and that would be hosed up so please no one make peggle 3

i tried to go through the dragonlance games in college because i really liked etrian odyssey 2, but after EO2, the in-game maps were just too ghetto. not to mention that they were already fully drawn :(

Oh also I'm a little late on the Respawn/EA acquisition but I read elsewhere that Korean f2p MMO publisher Nexxon who publishes the Titanfall mobile game (don't even look it up) was pushing to buy them out . Part of their publishing agreement with EA involved them letting EA bid against any potential takeover; EA outbid Nexxon, and here we are. So while I'm not hyped about this either , the alternative was apparently them being owned by a Korean f2p MMO factory lol . I'll take EA
What are you talking about, Nexon has great experience with publishing retail FPS games.



(It's interesting to look back at contentious acquisitions and think of what could have gone differently, for better or worse. Rare very nearly became an Activision studio instead of a Microsoft one...)

I never got what was so funny about this meme tbh, cause peggle is real good
Did anybody here play the DS port of Peggle? It was done by the studio that did Lumines and I recall it having some really weird secret levels...

So I saw that Doki Doki Literature Club is free, but am scared off by the serious amounts of content warnings attached to it. Could someone post, in a single, spoilered word, what the disturbing stuff deals with?

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


These Fireclaw robot fights in the Horizon DLC are some epic poo poo. Fair warning that they definitely took the Dark Souls DLC approach so prepare 2 die on Ultra.

The Float bomb burst is a general all purpose must-have for making the platforming easier, but other than that you're going to want most of the weapon upgrades because just about every potential combination will be helpful in various situations. I found myself swapping them around fairly frequently.

The plague Knight stuff was amazing if only because how weak you feel at the beginning and how completely overpowered you feel by the end.

I didn't like it because it was another Superman is evil storyline. This was already done in the first game. Multiverse is my favorite part of Injustice 2 though, and I have 250 hours.

Sometimes they keep being among the best games ever, though, or if nothing else have elements that stand out as especially excellent. I suspect Mario Odyssey's movement is going to be the thing that holds up as really special when people look back on the game a year from now.

Im a bit turned off by how the capture mechanic impacts the role of enemies in level design. Like as an example, you never see goobas unless it is necessary to stack every single one of them. I feel like these sorts of interactions could have been done better. Still a g5f5 though. Very good game!
