i did power through travis strikes again this weekend though. better than i expected but i expected something so bad it wouldn't even hold my interest. it still had enough of that suda51 style to get me through. probably will never touch it again though.

I knew a Direct was possibly incoming, I was just hoping it would be a all encompassing Direct for upcoming Switch games, or an Animal Crossing Direct. Pokemon just got released, I dont know why we need a Direct for that.

I'm sad, but it will be worth it if they announce Pokken 2 and just make it the Tekken part.

Also customization, it's 2020 and I still can't put a hat on my friend. It's hosed up.

It sucks that they can legally only do one direct a month and that they chose to do one about pokemon.

That game was actually pretty solid, the only real problem was that it was super easy. If they did a Switch port with harder post game content, that would be great

Just finished playing God of War '18 and had fun with it- good voice acting, character interactions. Having a third character hanging from your belt at all times was a good idea. The combat kinda grew on me and I was impressed with the optional Valkyrie secret-super bosses! Also the axe throwing somehow works- it feels weird at first but gets more natural the more you screw around with it.

Wasn't expecting to really like it for some reason (got it on sale for :10bux:) but it really hooked me after an hour or two and now I can't wait for the inevitable sequel which is probably gonna be on PS5 sooooo I guess I'm gonna be waiting to actually play it for quite a while

I know it's sacrilege to say but I've been playing Ghost Recon: Wildlands (the first one) with a friend of mine and it's actually pretty dang fun, albeit pretty goofy and a bit aimless. It's cool to coordinate to take on bases and some of them can be quite tough.

It's real pretty too with settings cranked up.

I mean, it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be

you might instead groom her to be the bride of Satan, for example

Exactly. It could inherit a bit of that mildly seedier, more realistic edge Detective Pikachu had. Plus Team Rocket are basically kid-friendly yakuza so you could insert them into the story for some more fun.

Not really sacrilege. Basically the only time I've heard people rag on it they're the same people who complain about literally every Ubisoft game because blah blah blah climbing towers blah blah blah map icons.

I think I still associate it when it first came out and everyone was laughing at the terrible quips. The VO is actually hilarious, nobody seems to know what tone to take when delivering lines like "poo poo-balls!"

Fuck you say?
Does anyone have any videogame songs that they find themselves humming or dum-de-dumming in real life when they're like, cleaning the house or baking cookies or something? The ones that are perpetually cropping up for me are:

Battlefield 1942 theme
Unreal theme
Little Big Adventure theme
One Must Fall 2097 theme
Deus Ex theme
Heavy Metal FAKK2 menu music
Setting Sail / Coming Home from Bastion

I can't remember where my glasses or keys are 9/10 of the time but I'm convinced these songs are gonna follow me to the grave

Most of these songs are from games I spent most of my childhood playing so I guess it's no big surprise

UBISoft went above and beyond with post game support for that title. They are doing the same with Breakpoint, but the updates for that will take awhile longer since that is still a newer game that came out in the last few months.

Is most of that in the post-game? Or is it just quality of life stuff generally?
