I'm going to play Odyssey as Alexios, mostly because my gf already played as Kassandra and I want to see what it's like with an evil Kassandra.

Egyptian mythology and riding camels through the desert is cooler than Greek mythology and riding horses through some islands :shrug:

I also just remembered Origins had those cool death scenes where Bayek banishes all his targets to the afterlife with a feather whereas in Odyssey its like "hey go kill these 40 randos alright bye"

They really went all out with those post mortem sequences, looked fantastic.

Huh, I thought that one wasn't well-received. One criticism I remember is that your team is absolutely terrible and needs to be revived constantly? Anyway I'm just surprised that it's getting a remaster.

The only criticism I remember about it at launch was people talking about how annoying the unkillable candlesticks were which actually turned out to be the second coming of the Deus Ex boat.

Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® details

So they're saying that it's not a remake, but a reimagining. So, basically it is a remake.

it sounds like they are doing more of a grounded deal and basicaly keeping some of the characters and nothing else. i can understand that since mw2 and 3 were out and out ww3 and you can't really pull that poo poo again in the same canon. i kinda like the grey moral horribleness that MW2019 will because i kinda like that stuff.

i like evil kassandra better then evil alexios. E-kassandra is just very cold and ruthless while also coming off as clearly damagad. E-alexios just comes off as dicount kylo ren.

Any good crafting like games on PS4? I’ve been watching Satisfactory and some Yogscast Minecraft fuckery and I have this itch for crafting but more advanced than Minecraft and not as janky as Ark. Anything or do I have to resurrect my laptop for some Minecraft Tekkit stuff?

it will have over the top moments, but i feel like they are going for more of a brothers in arms/2010 medal of honor/last of us/spec ops the line feel. i think a bunch of the gameplay directors are from naughty dog and its been in development for like 5 years. it looks different and i am kinda interested.

Sony is super-NOT going to be in E3.

Is going to be hard to be a PS4 fan. But almost everything that we are going to see will have a PS4 version or even a PS5, is just will not be announced like that.

What are a few of the go-to's for casual online co-op stuff nowadays? Vermintide looks kinda cool, but it's old enough now that I'm guessing there's not many people playing anymore? Something in that vein though - tight-knit team combat against either waves of AI or PvP against other small teams. I tried Killing Floor 2 and it was fun for a while but it doesn't take long before it starts to feel very same-y.

Vermintide 2 is still plenty populated precisely because it's one of the only games out there that fills that niche atm.

The Division 2 might also be a good pick for you.

REDBAR INTENSIFIES
Yeh, honestly, I realized that I bounced of God of War twice then for some reason on my third attempt I got hooked and it was probably because of Mimir. I haven’t played any of the other games, but I would hella play a spin-off GoW game as Mimir doing the dirty work of some evil Norse gods and hanging w Odin and Thor or whatever. I don’t care really, but Mimir made what would otherwise be a really dull game into a game that I didn’t mind traveling in a boat for like 5 minutes at a time.

But really I just want to play the new From game if it does take place in a similar Norse setting.

fridge corn posted:

How far are you? Are you playing 1 for the first time? If you haven’t played Bloodborne, or DS3, play those next in that order. Also I’m replaying DS1 on Switch with a friend and realizing that I definitely prefer DS2, and it’s just because I played them in reverse order starting w Bloodborne and ending with Demon’s Souls, but they’re all great, I just got spoiled by the amount of weapon variety in 3 and 2, and while 1 is definitely more memorable and doesn’t have as much bloat, it still has a lot of stuff I thoroughly don’t enjoy, like Sen’s Fortress, and some other random areas. 3 is my favorite (Bloodborne is the best, but out of the Souls games), and I find it crazy people like the original more somehow. Demon’s Souls is loving dope and I need to see that remake at E3.

I'm not sure why they needed that and couldn't manage to have that area open a door to the next with no white light. Would have been cool just stepping out with no special effect. It's just a door.

It's a trilogy. Also it was a pretty huge game. I thought it was well and truly long enough for a single player action game.

You still have it in the game, and even when you do the sequels you're probably never going to be able to access every world. Just a bizarre way to present it.

Yeah I was excited for Asaheim, but I remain excited. It might have made more sense to have those branches of the world tree broken off entirely or something rather than the Yggdrasil computer just saying "AREA UNAVAILABLE". Wouldn't be hard to weave that in and just record Mimir saying "oh yeah the tree is all busted because Odin is a dumb rear end in a top hat" same as everything else.

My Ps4 turned on in the middle of the night and the disc/fans spinning like crazy but I just turned the other way and went back to sleep.

I saw there was a 7.0 update but no idea what it was for.
