Did anyone get the Dark Alliance remaster or am I gonna have to impulse buy it in an hour after I've had a few pints

Talking of which, I'm amazed but delighted that what is sold in America as "draught guiness" is, in fact, actual guiness from actual Ireland and tastes just like it does coming out of a rusty tap that hasn't ever been properly cleaned :)

Huh, I thought jimmy had some of the more interesting fights in any jrpg.

sorry, my post was a bit flip - i just meant the random encounters. the bosses are really good overall in jimmy, and so far in omori they haven't been bad either.

A surprise. Also I can't help but notice "Lucasfilm Classic Games" as a brand name that might lead to more rereleases.

I know. Just a friendly reminder that if it's a public place it's often dirtier than it looks. American restaurants and bars are often quick, sometimes efficient and rarely clean. ;)

One of the reasons I always preferred dive bars when I drank. At least they're honest.

Fuck you say?
In terms of Games this year I played The Surge 2 and Nioh 2, two soulslikes I have meant to play for a while. Verdicts:

Surge 2 has a lot of heart, nearly as much heart as it has jank. The equipment design, animations and skill customisation is great but the story and presentation is capital B Bad and the bossfights are rotten. It's not an amazing game but it's decent fun and weirdly addictive and man I just dig the heavy loader/power armour aesthetic so much.

Nioh 2 follows the Monster Hunter "jesus gently caress what are all these systems" approach. I never played the first one so Ki Pulse is a loving weird thing to get used to but once you figure out it's basically an active reload for stamina it's a fun system. Level design looks bland and I honestly do not understand nor give a poo poo what is happening in the story but the combat is fantastic when you get it down.

I have also played a game that everyone very much loved last year, Hades, and holy god I am sad I slept on it. I thought it was still in Early Access so I didn't play it but it turned out it was released. I played for 25 hours and I think that was in like 3 weeks, great game, great style, Zagreus and the whole pantheon and cast of characters can take turns fisting me, I won't complain

Other than that I've been learning 3d art in Blender and I made this bull

Resident Evil Village is a good game to watch streamed, there's relatively little gameplay and the gameplay just seems like a means to an end. the anime shark girl is basically going to do everything you would anyway

Continuing Spider Man PS4, moved onto the DLC. Cyborg Mobsters is an interesting direction to go in, but it feels a little silly.

Also, while I don't dislike this game's version of Miles, I much prefer the Spiderverse version of him. This Miles (and, from what I've heard, the comics version as well) basically boils down to "Peter, but Black." He's smart in all the same areas as Pete, whereas Spiderverse Miles's genius was more the artistic/creative kind, which really helped to set him apart. I dunno, maybe the PS5 Miles Morales game helps remedy this somewhat.

Lipstick Apathy
I played like 2 hours of yakuza zero last night and it was really fun.

Then I quit, apparently without saving, and I have to start over. I do not think it was fun enough to do it all again, so that might end my yakuza experience. We’ll see.

Instead I’m playing bloodborne again. With any of the souls games my absolute favorite thing is how you can just fly through areas when things click. I cleared all of Yarnham on my first shot and opened up the various shortcuts all the way to Gascoine. Now to slam my head at the wall a dozen times (if my previous runs through the game are any indication).

2 hours of Yakuza 0 is like twenty minutes of gameplay if you’re just starting to be fair, you might as well try again if you were having fun. Maybe after playing more Bloodborne tho, poo poo fuckin owns

Has Not Actually Done Cocaine
So on a whim bought and tried out Hood: Outlaws & Legends, and I want to like it, but holy poo poo is it a poorly balanced pile of jank, and like 85% of it can be laid at the feet of the developers being morons and deciding that this game should be a PvPvE game rather than a PvE game even though the former is a format that never works well ever, it's the same thing that ruined Hunt: Showdown as a concept

good evening thread i'd like to let everyone know that i'm having a Nice Time playing Vermintide 2, even by myself queueing with pubbies. they all seem to know where to go when i very clearly do not!

I bought Vermintide 2 on launch and didn't play it until just this year. The new updates are pretty great. Its definitely worth playing on a higher difficulty as you get matched with randos that know what they're doing.

Not the best game of all time or anything but a very solid Left4DeadLike

Yeah definitely, I was curious about the story and setting but money is tight and I don't really love horror games all that much, so rather than buy it I've been watching Markiplier play it and having a good time.

I don't usually watch Lets Plays for games I haven't beaten because spoilers, but it works out pretty great here.

The difference between 90fps and 60fps is much less perceptible than 60fps versus 30fps, with diminishing returns the higher you go. Past a certain point it's better to have a consistent framerate than a higher average.
