Yeah the last MK I played was 3 and I think at some point nearly 20 years ago I watched a friend play 4. So I got most of it off the bat and the rest I kinda picked up as it went along.

Like overall if they had a good editor you could legit make it into a 2 hour movie that would be pretty decent.

I'm watching it now. I was so confused at the beginning because I think the last MK I played was 3.

It's insane for MK to have a loving storyline.

Yeah I did the same, last one I actually played was UMK3. For the plot of this one to make sense, you gotta start with watching the story from MK (2011) and MK X. Together with this most recent one, they make a nicely contained trilogy.

I finally finished Tyranny and its p dope

I really like the spell crafting system. Also the whole concept of being Bronze Age Judge Dredd rules

I really liked Tyranny, though I didn't bother with doing additional playthroughs. I think people were too hard on that game just like I think they were too hard on PoE.

They did a surprisingly good job fleshing out what is a literal palette swap too, though it did take them quite a few games.

Yeah I dont know that I'd play through it again, but it was a good solid rpg with a fairly unusual concept.

Didn’t MK veer from their previous games and traditional fighting game model long ago? Just sort of said gently caress it and just did whatever, making everything more ridiculous, and it worked? Haven’t played one in 10–15 years probably

yeah pretty much since MK9 they've changed their format and leaned in to their current form

also they did injustice 1/2 i between the mk games which were cool in their own right. injustice 2 having tmnt and hellboy as dlc charactets was really awesome

plus the fact that ed boon really loves dc comics is rad, he did a really decent job with the IP and included rad stuff like Red Son costumes and poo poo

So, uh, over the past couple of weeks, I've been marathoning my way through the older MGS games... and boy, howdy, I sure forgot MGS4. I mean, the whole series has no qualms about being weird as poo poo, but replaying them all back-to-back like this really highlights just how far up its own rear end 4 is.

I was getting a little bored with it because I made the decision to just play through the campaign to get to level 70. I finally finished it and got around to playing bounties to finish the grind to 70, and it’s like a whole different, more addicting game. I’ve barely put it down over the last 2 days.

Most times people are full of poo poo when they say the game doesn't really begin until you're done with the story but in this case that's actually true.

It has been shut down for over 6 years. Dudes made off with the actual server code and ran a private server for longer than that. After someone leaked it after all this time they gave out the code. Now some other dudes are running servers. Over 8000 people have been slamming into them and crashing the gently caress out of them.

It’s hard to get too excited for fancy third party games on the Switch because they inevitably perform and look like complete poo poo in handheld mode. Thank god the Diablo 3 port was perfect.

for all the poo poo you can heap on blizzard (tons) their console poo poo has been too-notch

i remember when d3 was announced for ps4 and people asked if it would be supporting cross-play with the vita. they said no, until about an hour later when sony said of course it was going to be supported and blizz followed suit. it came out pretty ok in the end, but they had a crash course in making the UI work on a small screen.

but yeah d3 switch is pretty much the best version of the game to play and it feels filthy to say that
