So is Far Cry New Dawn another Blood Dragon surprise hit or just more Ubisoft trash?

It's pretty dope.
EA released the best Bond game and the worst in the same year! Rogue Agent was positively dreadful.

It's just more Far Cry 5.

The Far Cry thread seems to like it and they were pretty mad at 5 by the end.

I keep wanting to replay Far Cry 5 because the gameplay is megatons of fun but then I remember the unskippable cutscenes and bliss bullet interruptions

I got my second Tetris 99 chicken dinner and I guess now I know what the PUBG grinders are going for

And I know it's probably the quirks of random assignment but the game is pretty good at riling me up against random strangers when I have 5 attackers in the first thirty seconds. Also makes it satisfying when I drop three Tetrises on their asses and they all KO


Remember James Bond Jr.?

And then it's not actually his son but his nephew or some poo poo like that

FC5 with basically no plot solves the biggest underlying problem with Far Cry.

Doing some art so I decided to put a stream on in the background with someone playing Antrhem. Zero interest in the game but I just needed some background noise.

First thing I hear the streamer say is "I have no idea who thought this was a good direction for a game" :regd09:

I mean everyone else has said the same thing about Anthem. The only people I know who are excited for it are the hardcore Destiny 2 crowd and that group is small.

EA is really bad about post game support unfortunately. :/ Both Destiny 1 & 2, and the Division required massive amount of work and adjustments to become what players considered "fun." I don't like that this sort of behavior though is rewarded. "These games are good now!" isn't a good look for the industry. A game needs to be fun to play at launch.

You knot the takeaway from this is gonna be that more BR is the direction to go in.

Its consistently getting way more viewers than Fortnite on Twitch, which might not seem like a big deal to some of you but that's a pretty massive one in terms of marketing and momentum.

Given that the next Fortnite battle pass is being given away free I'm gonna say pretty substantially.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I'm listening to the tracks that the Capcom Sound Team uploaded to Spotify and man, there's so much good stuff in here. It shuffled to one MMX stage I haven't played since I was a kid and it was like Ratatouille.

The remixes they put out with the X legacy collection are great. The remixed X4 boss theme rules and they even made the trash one from X3 good.

Everything or Nothing is an awesome game and so is Nightfire.

A lot of Bond games are real good, though there are s ome that are definitely bad and when they are bad, they are really bad. poo poo like 007 Racing.

My favorite James Bond is the Game Boy one which is very much a Metal Gear ripoff with Link's Awakening adventure moments and it ends in a bad sex pun like all James Bond properties.

Going by Twitch numbers Fortnite seems fine, probably a big problem for Far Cry and Anthem though.
