It’s definitely a drop but it’s not a bad game. The Wesker stuff alone redeems the bad stuff.

The first Resident Evil Revelations was a really good balance of the RE4 gameplay and the classic winding corridors layout and every enemy is a threat feeling the first games had. In a lot of ways it matches up with the Resident Evil 2 remake coming out. Revelations 2 is pretty meh though as it cribs the RE5 and 6 style of having a partner you switch back and forth with

Anyone seen anything more specific on Slay the Spire's port beyond "early 2019"? Trying it on Steam after it got mentioned in another thread and liked it but it seems :siren: perfect for Switch and don't really mind waiting if it's around baseball season when my Switch spends a lot more time in my hands so I might just refund it. e: just one more turn'ed myself past two hours so I'm keeping it but still curious, could see myself double-dipping

"Early Access" for PC ends next week and the game will be in full release. It showed up on nintendo's site a few days ago as a Switch title. I'm guessing it will be out in the next month or so.

In the mean time, absolutely play the PC version and then play the PC version with mods. The mods are really good especially some of the new class ones.

I really really like 5 except the humvee levels and the one hit kill enemies but if you arent playing coop your first playthrough will suffer from not being able to tell sheva what she should be doing so you kind of juggle her inventory to get her to do stuff you want.

Then in NG+ you give her an infinite ammo magnum and she plays the whole game for you

They probably did this just as an excuse to have tribal enemies and didn’t think about the racist optics. Pretty stupid.

They could have just gone "this tribe of people got infected when their water supply was tainted". Instead they invented a statement that africans have genetic memory to chuck spears when say the spaniards in 4 do absolutely no such thing.

I don’t know how much it’s been discussed, but the Onimusha port for Switch absolutely owns and is very good survival horror for $20. Also the fact that you can play without tank controls absolutely makes it feel like a modern game, which is nuts because this came out in 2000/2001.

Sounds good, will probably grab it on Switch too. Very fun but could use a few more classes (mostly I just suck at it).

I know the Zelda games aren't really known for being cheery in their plots, but man I just got through the opening of Breath of the Wild and that is loving bleak.

also was I supposed to find some cold-weather gear somewhere? because I just ran through the mountains chomping mushrooms and peppers to avoid death, occasionally lighting a club on fire.

Paraglider bro has a shirt if you cook something (I think) but you can pick it up later. Cooking is fine to get through the mountain anyway.

If you cook the mushrooms and peppers together you can stay warm for pretty much the whole time you're there. Otherwise you can sprint between fires. You can get warm clothes but you have to gently caress around gathering ingredients for a while.

maybe a dumb question but how do you cook things? I found a couple fires that some bobokins were cooking meat at, but at fires I just have the option to sit. is the option in the inventory menu or something?

Yeah it's not really explained well. You have to select individual ingredients in the menu, hold them, pick up to five for a recipe and drop them into a lit pot (not just a fire).

If you find the cold weather gear you find the cold weather gear or if you don't you figure out another way to do the thing you want to do. That is the game.

After I was done with BotW I went back and watched videos of how other people solved the same puzzles I solved. Some of them I solved so differently it was hilarious. Highly recommend you do this once you're done.

Make sure you do the Darkening of Tristram event dungeon, ideally with a brand new level 1 character. You can start in adventure mode and port right to the portal to it in Act 1, marked by a pentagram. Port there and head south. The graphics will "degrade" and there is a 16-level dungeon with all the old school mob names and stuff. It's rad.

It's starting to turn up in physical and digital sales in the $40 range at about the rate you'd expect for how old it is, i.e. you might be waiting a month or two but it'll get there if you're looking.
