Darkriders 2 is free on playstation this month. Comes with all of the DLC. I'm a few hours into it and it's pretty generic but still an enjoyable time sink.

God drat it.

Finished building the car, can't tune it. Drop it off at the shop, do a shitsucking run. Cars still not ready, so I go and chop some wood. Deliver that and six bottles of moonshine.

Ran out of smokes on the way back, died of a heart attack.

I didn't like the first game. The story was good but I hated sneaking around trying to kill more and more plant zombies.

The actual announcement trailer was Ellie playing the guitar saying she was going to kill "every one of them" or something, and that one trailer has some people trying to hang her in an area where a bunch of people are hanged.

It looks like it's more about people than the first one (but there will still be zombies).

Also Ellie is swole as gently caress.

This is conjecture (except for Ellie looking like she can bench press a car), but Naughty Dog has a good history if knocking it out of the park and The Last of Us is probably my favorite game of all time, so they could swerve pretty hard at the last minute and make the game about something completely different than my guesses or any trailers and I'll still trust them to do a good job.

E: I can't remember the last time I was legit excited about a video game release. Probably when I was a kid and had a N64 or something, but I'm preordering TLOU2 and I get giddy thinking about it coming out.

Consumers haven't been resistant to price increases because they are paying $60 for unfinished games and $75-149 for "season pass digital deluxe versions" aka the full game.

Beautiful.

Weird-rear end eastern europe developer games are my favorites, doesn't hurt that they don't usually have $60 at release + DLC forever price-tags.
Party Hard 2 bumped up the graphics, still meaning to play through the haunted castle map in Party Hard 1, apparently you're a vampire with a summonable hellhound?

I don't think TLOU falls into the same category as Call of Duty or Destiny where the game is already made but they chop off 25% of it at release. The DLC for TLOU lasted like two hours and didn't feel like it was chopped off the base game.

If it has loot crates or micro transactions I will probably stick to my guns and skip it though. But if it cost $80 I would still preorder it. I'm not an advocate for keeping the prices at $60.

Basically I don't know what point you're trying to make? Am I a hypocrite or something?

Everyone has a game that is an instant buy for them.
I hope TLOU2 doesn't get chopped into DLC+.

The game I'm most looking forward to is.....Attack of the Earthings, a reverse X-COM game.

i dunno if any of you nerds are hardcore space sim dudes but the guys who made the X series of space sim/empire building games are making X4: Foundations now, and it will be out in 2018 sometime. Looks like they learned a lot from getting screamed at about X Rebirth sucking poo poo a couple years ago, and this game is a lot more in the vein of X2 and X3 in allowing you to pilot every ship, can build anything, can trade anything etc.

Welp, there's another reason for me to get a new PC next year. (along with AC7 and Cyberpunk 2077)

In other space game news, I started replaying CoaDE and I am so loving bad at orbital mechanics. I should have done more KSP.

I don't get why people are assuming it's the same person. They look nothing alike. It is possible for a game to have two prominent female characters.

Barbie houses in MMOs are some of the less egregious microtransations. Granted 100 bucks is way too much but I've spent money on appearance armor, housing, and mounts in EverQuest 2. Then again I also put thousands of hours into the game so throwing a few bucks to make my character look cool never felt like a big deal.
