Give it a couple of hours and you’ll be smashing heads into urinals and dodging samurai sword attacks.

Also the best thing about Yakuza is no matter how batshit insane the story line gets, the main character tries to play it completely straight. The juxtaposition adds a ton of comedy to the games because it’s like everyone should know this is just too over the top to be real.

Same. Especially considering that a truck losing a tire, and the subsequent route recon to leave that pos lead to a friendly fire incident.

On a better note, finally started playing Control after picking it up over the winter. It somehow nails the feel of working for the government. Even with the weird poo poo. Especially with the weird poo poo.

Yo I fuckin know right. I never went back for the DLCs but the main critical path story mission is such a breezy delight. When you get into the ashtray maze (do not spoil), set up your recording software and turn your headphones ALL THE WAY UP. It is a sublime videogame sequence.

Picked up Control (Ultimate Edition with all the DLC included) on a Steam sale a few months ago and promptly dumped 65 hours into it, and I cannot say enough good things about that game. It's like The Matrix merged with Twin Peaks.

My key offroading experiences was actually just grabbing whatever busted shitbox old hoopty and just giving it the business on relatively hard packed dirt tracks. Never really liked digging vehicles out, closest I ever came was a baja bug on the beach with tires wide enough you could almost guarantee to never bog.

Basically just pick your grade of offroading. Doesn't have to be digging yourself out of mariana trench every 30 feet.

I did run Bombers once at the dirt track outside Gate 2 of Fort Gordon once, and that was fun as poo poo and about as much dirt as I care to eat.

(Is that track still even there?)

The earlier you find the Hummer, the more magic its tires seem, but as crazy they are on hard surfaces while still being good in dirt and mud, the MS1s are actually an upgrade over them.
Mud tires have poo poo traction on regular roads, but even in the worst icy conditions, you're still fine with AWD and watch that you don't careen off the road. Meanwhile, MS1s are an extra 50% better on dirt, and 33% better in mud, and the really important thing is that the mud-performance applies to snow as well.

Made me realize something I'd kind of suspected. If you're not driving on icy roads or icy rocks, mud tires are better than chains.

Battlefield 2042 announced, takes place a hundred years before 2142 I guess? :shrug: Hope it is more like Battlefield 4 than the last couple games. Back up to 128 player games. I don't think I can ever relive the good old days of Strike at Karkand with like 256 players but I love these huge game types. Gameplay reveal in 4 days. :pray: be good!

I recently realized that not only did I still have BF4 installed, but there's still a taskbar shortcut. :lol:

I've been enjoying it.


Reminder that Battlefield is still the best of this kind of FPS.

Some gameplay. We got the flying squirrel suit, spider-man swings and changing your weapon attachments on the fly. I am guessing the dust storm is their version of closing in the map for the inevitable battle royale match type but the tornado going through downtown Dubai(?) was pretty cool.

BF1 and 4 servers are packed right now with so many new PC players, most have a queue. Usually in the single digit range but a few I've seen get up to around 20 waiting to get in.

Amazon prime gaming has just gifted a basic bf4 key to every member on pc so that’s the likely culprit.

Apparently there won’t be a Battle Royale mode with 2042. I’m pretty hyped about this game; I’ll definitely get it after mostly sitting out 1 and 5.

What makes BF V so disappointing is that BF4 had a gently caress load of launch issues but was incredibly fun to play but V just couldn't pull it off for whatever reason.

Which sucks because I was really looking forward to a current gen WWII BF game :(

So I have high hopes for this one.

Also plug this poo poo directly into my veins,

AFAIK 5's problems were in part because a bunch of experienced people from DICE jumped ship, so it wasn't just normal :dice: shipping an MVP game and fixing the jank after, but they lost all the people who knew how to set up at least a good foundation to fix jank later and actually address problems. Frostbite has also historically suffered from extreme in-house engine disease, so losing the small group of people with the tribal knowledge to work around its bullshit exacerbated the problem.

Maybe that's since improved since EA wanted Frostbite to be a better general-purpose engine they could use throughout the company and hired talented-enough people to un-gently caress it from whatever state it was in when they rolled out Anthem.

Finally, an answer to the question: What if Vivi Ornitier had a gun?

Square-Enix also announced a new FF spinoff, Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin that looks super generic.

It is from Team Ninja so it's probably good anyway.

Also Diablo 2 remaster drops on September 23rd.
