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

not so much music tracks (and i definitely don't hum along) but once in a while a sound effect from some game i played 20 years ago will pop up in my brain unbidden and remind me that my mind is forever damaged and rotted from the moldy trash it contains

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

Wildlands got a ton of bug / glitch fixes, and balance changes. Breakpoint though is getting a complete overhaul with quality of life changes, balance changes, bug/glitch fixes, new weapons, and other content. Breakpoint launched completely broken and the game is probably UBISofts most poorly sold game this gen? It flopped hard.

The full game on PC is going to be Kentucky Route Zero: PC Edition and the console releases are going to be Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition.

Same content just different platforms. Both will include all 5 acts and the interludes.

I'm honestly not sure if I ever bought the KRZ season pass but I know I've played acts 1-3 and possibly even at least some of 4. May as well just start over on console at this point.

In the past Capcom has released this type of MH content as a whole other full price game but I guess they didn't think that would fly these days

It sucks it took like 6 months to come out on PC vs PS4 but still costs $40 on PC now while you can get it on PS4 on sale.

But then again that's typical for game industry. Rockstar expecting me to pay $60 for RDR2 on PC is bullshit. Give me some kinda upgrade code where I can spend $20 to move my PS4 to PC and I'd do it. But gently caress paying full price when I already own it.

Yeah, some people on PC don't have it already. But they know tons of people do and that's half the point.

Yeah I think they are up to like 8 million copies sold now. They almost certainly delayed the PC release to get people to double dip too, rather than any kind of technical reasons.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/monster-hunter-world-becomes-capcoms-all-time-best-seller-14m-units-sold-1245966

quote:

Capcom on Monday revealed that the action-adventure title, first released in January 2018, has sold over 14 million copies worldwide, the first game published or developed by the company to reach that milestone. Meanwhile, the game's recently launched expansion, Iceborne, released in September, has sold more than 2.5 million copies globally.

Seems like not nearly everybody bought the DLC, which makes sense as its a big deep RPG and I bet the vast majority of gamers never beat it. (but instead got their fill fighting through low rank) and thus wouldn't feel a huge push to buy Iceborne.

Still, 2.5 million x $40 = $Texas

i think it had a disastrous launch when it first popped up on the epic games store but since i haven't heard anything about it since i assume it was resolved in a more timely manner than some of the more disastrous pc port launches (see: arkham knight)
