Metro exodus is releasing in about 3 hours but I don't even see a thread about it. Anyone here play it yet ? It looks good and I'm a lot more interested in it than the new Farcry.

I want to make a thread about it, I am interested in the game.

the changes to how taking down gang leaders in crackdown 3 sound less like qol or added depth and more like extra busywork for a thing that was fun in the first game because you'd just bust into a noteworthy location and blow them up with a rocket launcher or something and there wasn't actually anything keeping you from going straight for the kingpin if you wanted to

One of the reviews mentioned that you could beat the game super fast if you just beelined the gang leaders so if what you are saying is true Ill be dissapointed

I'm really looking forward to it. It's also the first game since I bought my new PC where I'm actually concerned about performance and settings sacrifices actually affecting the graphics (I have a Vega 56 and want to play at 1440p and at least a rock solid 60fps...)

i might've misread, the review i did read just made it sound like you've gotta do some checklisty stuff before it lets you take on any notable boss characters

though honestly even at the time while i enjoyed crackdown 1 it did feel like a game where you ran out of stuff to do pretty quick, so i'm not surprised that if crackdown 3 is just more of that it doesn't look so good next to a rush of bigger open world games, especially dipping into a similar area as just cause 4 of jankier, emptier open world games struggling a bit with their own identity, the latter of which i imagine would fit a new crackdown game to a T after crackdown 2, and 3's apparent awkwardness trying to deal with being a more goofy and colorful game about blowing people up after crackdown 1 and 2 both ended with the twist that the police state agency you work for is probably bad

ratchet & clank's had space ship levels since the first game, they're just weirdly sporadic about them. going commando featured them prominently but up your arsenal was rushed to gently caress so they got cut along with almost all the giant clank sections and then ratchet deadlocked was ratchet deadlocked

Anthem comes out in a week, I just realized. Right after Apex Legends and its 10 million subscribers.


Who's ready to see the death knells of Bioware and perhaps EA? :kheldragar: :kheldragar:

Man, Yakuza 0 still has my favorite boss fight moment of all time, with Awano punching the loving wall so hard that Majima flips the gently caress out and shoves Awano as hard as he can to get away from his fist. Yes I've been rewatching Yakuza moments all day and goddamn this is honestly the best franchise in all of games

Pledge of Demon is so loving iconic. It's honestly just amazing how much the Yakuza soundtrack goes above and loving beyond, now that I'm revisiting parts of 6. And having played through the series chronologically Y0 to Y6 - the part where Kiryu commits to doing a double loving murder is the hardest loving poo poo I have ever loving experienced in a single videogame. You feel his hatred and his anger in a way I've never seen in a single movie or novel. It's honestly awe-inspiring.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP74oNwF4IM

Just watch the opening minute and a half and realize outside of Kiryu, you're led to loving hate every single one of these loving bastards going into Yakuza 6. It's a goddamn masterwork of character drama that understands the format of videogames in a way nobody else has ever loving come close to.
