I'm assuming it's a theme night being run by the bar, rather than a bunch of swingers just overrunning the place unprompted

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Yeah, it's not unusual in places that don't have dedicated swinger clubs. Uh, not that I'd know anything about those.

Sometimes I just wanna play some Hellgate: London, but aside from it not being that great to begin with, these days you have to choose between the original version, which may or may not constantly crash or run at 20fps, or the newer release, which is based on the Chinese f2p version and has been very shoddily turned single player again.

They're thematically very similar and share a lot of aesthetics, but they're otherwise pretty different games, I think. Hellgate wanted to be more like a third-person shooter Diablo, while Remnant is trying to capitalize on the popularity of Souls-like games. Remnant did it a whole lot better, though.

I'm playing Remnant right now since it's free on PS+ this month, and it's pretty fun. Still getting used to how what would be hipfire gun in most games is now melee attack

Remnant is honestly a pretty neat little game. I like it a lot more now than I did on launch, when I just couldn't get over how little it is like an actual Souls game. If not for how repetitive it can get, I'd honestly I have little to criticize about it.

Melee is pretty good, btw. It does tons of damage and it's actually a valid alternative to firearms if something starts getting too close to you. If you want to conserve ammo, just hacking down the occasional enemy is a pretty useful approach.

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
i had a chance to play through the first level of ancient gods 2 and i think it's looking like i'm going to land the same place i did with the first dlc. it's still doom eternal so it still owns, but all of the new enemies they've added i think suffer from the same problem of wanting you to use a very specific weapon/mod combo and nothing else works. i think when they stray past the enemies having weaknesses you can take advantage of into forcing you into a specific move to even damage them actually makes the combat fell less frantic. the new ones introduced (so far) are all better than the marauder though.

the new tool they give you is great, it fits in to the resource game real well.

Anyone here remember that old FMV adventure/FPS game Realms of the Haunting from back in the nineties? It literally had a major quest be an involved, multi-step process for preparing a Magical Bong Hit for a god-spirit of some sort and then light it up for him. I still laugh when I remember that and only getting what I was doing at the very end.

Was Need for Speed Heat a good game?

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I want to like it... It looks amazing and the cars sound great (even if I'm hating the music), but the cops are driving me insane. They're everywhere, losing them is incredibly annoying and most of the time as soon as I manage to evade one pops up right in front of me and spots me before I can even make out the tiny arrow in the minimap. Cars also control kinda weird; haven't been able to put my finger on why exactly, but the game feels too arcadey to be paying attention to racing lines, but my car seems to screech to a halt every time I try to drift around a corner. This might be a thing with starting cars, but it's really sapping my will to get to the upper tier cars.
I also haven't figured out how to buy new cars yet, but that may be on me, I'm kinda dumb.

I've been itching for a racing game for a while, but at this point I think I'm closer to firing up Burnout Paradise Remastered than coming back to this one.

I think I vaguely remember that the Draconian Quest stuff was expanded on significantly in XI’s US release, but it would be really weird for that to carry over to the Japanese release of 11S.

Yeah, I do use it deliberately, but more than once I've tried to snap off a shot while backpedaling away from something chasing me and instead I stop, lunge forward, tickle it with my axe, and get smashed

Hey gamers. I got me a brand new graphics card so i can finally play Death Stranding (s/o to steam family share). I'm not 2 hours in and it's already making a strong case for not just my GotY but my top 5 all time games.

God i love how loving bonkers it is. Anyway imma go play Jedi: Fallen order until my buddy goes to sleep.
