Yeah it’s very good at what it does (rhythm game with a dark, oppressive mood and in VR) but the second best game of the past ten years? I dunno

yeah, I get a pretty bad headache when I try to play it, even as much as I like it. everything about it is purposefully designed to be as hostile to the player as possible, weird aggressively strobing graphics + indecipherable polyrhythmic drumlines that you're supposed to be playing along with

I think Thumper makes me both zoned out and dialed in, in a way that's very high-adrenaline.

Now if you want to talk about a game designed to make your brain melt in VR, let's talk about Polybius

My main memory of Thumper is how playing it on the Switch and the Joycon buttons would leave imprints on my thumbs.

You need to beat the level boss first. And that’s, let’s say, Video Games.

Its definitely one of those games that makes me very aware of how hard I'm gripping the controller when I'm done.

it's been even more linear than the original, but so far i'm enjoying bioshock 2 more than 1. having plasmids and weapons out simultaneously makes combat flow much smoother. plus hacking is real time.

it does feel silly that a character as pivotal as lamb (as far as i remember) got nary a mention in 1.

Bioshock 2 is weird because it's a great step up in the gameplay department, but an unfortunate step back in the story. They more or less invent a bunch of characters and events that are supposedly pivotal to Rapture's history, but have no foreshadowing or reference in the first game at all. Also it's pretty thematically lazy to just go with "the first game was about objectivism, so the sequel will be about communism! Both sides are bad!" I still haven't made up my mind if I like it more or less than the weird lateral step of nonsense that is Infinite's story, though...

Bioshock 2 is outright a better game to play than the first. Also I think the arenas they designed for the Little Sister defenses are really well done and work pretty well for encouraging you to use mines and traps in a way the first game never did.

I read online and apparently there's a glitch which makes VideoGames unbeatable. They're waiting for it to be patched out.

idk which part are you reacting to, the character designs? I don't like it much (the building is super lame) but its definitely by far the best BR. i mean as far as BRs go which isn't saying much, but I'd rather play the one that feels like a third person UT than a weird milsim

I only tried fortnite like right when it came out on consoles so it's probably changed a lot but I liked Apex Legends way more than fortnite + the Black Ops 4 one

yeah, apex is okay too, I'm not big on the characters though, I like the old school arena fps ideal of everyone coming in on equal footing

I keep returning to Fortnite over other shooters purely because it gets updated so regularly with new, limited-time content you don't have to pay for. It's weird, maybe manipulative FOMO Farming, but it scratches the itch Team Fortress 2 did way back when I never knew what weirdass custom map or game mode I'd play that day.
