It’s a reason to grab MW next time it’s on sale I guess. How is it on series x? I’ve got a decent PC and it plays nice at 1080p with everything cranked, but it’d be fun to play on the couch.

that's not nature's way
Skatebird is funny and charming but wildly unpolished and just not very fun to play.

Superliminal is loving awesome and seems packed full of little secrets.

Still wanna check out Flynn: Son of Crimson. That might have to wait until after Superliminal's done.

ok the games stupid rear end mohawk punk rock aesthetic is loving stupid but underneath that is blops 2 with team-based objectives (payload, koth, etc.) and throwables replaced with class abilities

honestly itll play fine when it comes out but ubisoft needs to tone down the stupid punk rock mosh pit zoomer bullshit thats screwing up this games potential

This game is dead on arrival unfortunately.

if the shooting and gameplay suck, and its Ubisoft so theres a good chance of that, what else does it have to go on? the art style is hilariously bad.

the gameplay feels like an updated version of enemy territory/dirty bomb and its developed by hugo martin who worked at infinity ward when calladoody became a household name

https://youtu.be/sPIoyDQ5BWw

and yeah it could bomb meaning I won't give a poo poo since it's f2p and I'll go back to halo infinite/csgo

the aesthetic is loving awful though I hope ubisoft turns off the blinders and revises it

You're right, but there are A LOT of things we shouldn't be doing right now. You pick and choose your battles. No ethical consumption and all that.

Our family buys almost everything second hand, but there's a point where you need to reward yourself, and if that means once in awhile supporting a poo poo company because we live in a capitalist hellscape, then so be it.

I'm enjoying that it doesn't really feel super self-serious. It uses its gimmicks to build a lot of funny gags.

Yes but there was one point we (family) got stuck on for a while that I still don’t even know how we solved. The dialogue option we needed just showed up all of a sudden, idk how.

I've watched some folks play it through and while everybody gets frustrated by the amount of repetition needed, they all figure out what game states they need to get to pretty quick. And seeing different approaches makes the game's extremely limited reactivity even more annoying, if you hide in the closet immediately on your initial arrival home the brotagonist starts talking like a seasoned time loop exploiter out of the blue, then goes right back to being bewildered

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Besides the utter nonsense story that was the most disappointing part about 12 Minutes to me. It presents itself as a completely reactive thriller but in reality you're just completing a very linear series of timed puzzles with one expected solution. If you think of anything especially clever, odds are the game just won't recognize it at all.

Skatebird is charming enough but drat it's rough around the edges, particularly in the controls department, which is disappointing since these type of games are usually supposed to feel good to play.

I'd probably feel pretty burned if I bought it based off the previous trailers/hype. Game Pass to the rescue once again.

That’s loving awful, and I’m not buying the game so it’s a moot point, but I wasn’t talking about game companies. For instance I wish people cared this much about boycotting nestle, palm oil, Coca Cola, etc. They’ve been subjugating and killing people for years but no one says poo poo when I pop open a Coke Zero.

I’m not trying to poo poo on you either, but sometimes I think we forget to see the forest for the trees.

nestle/coca cola et al are megacorporations that could ignore entire countries worth of income and be fine. blizzard activision is failing so badly theyre removing their name from Call of Duty this year to get away from it. your wallet matters a lot fuckin more to them
