I installed Hades but I always struggle to get motivated to start roguelikes due to the timesink they generally are. :v:

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.
Finally getting to Psychonauts 2 and it’s a delight. Lovely to see a surreal and colourful world like this rendered with strong fidelity. Story and characters are cute and the world design is propelling me forward.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


Any time I do a run in Hades, I feel guilty I'm not playing Astral Chain or Sekiro(Aragami 2 had me feeling similar). They're less complex mechanically and potentially easier to pick up, but as someone who takes joy in learning mechanics, It starts to feel really hollow and then I don't even want to start the game anymore.

Now that I've put a couple hours into Hades, I'm thinking of uninstalling it lol Just started up dicey dungeons, which is cute, but I'll probably just pick up it when I'm on vacation, because it's not too involved and people can look on and I don't have to explain anything.

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."


Fortunately now that there's a roguelike mode for Streets of 4: Mr. X Nightmare, available now on all major platforms, there's no reason to learn anything else!

Played crown trick and had a great run to the first chapter boss, based on an excellent rifle and perks proccing its effects. Said boss has an aura making them immune to all ranged attacks.

Well gently caress this game then, I guess.

The fact that changes you make on 360 will carry over is a testament to designing an online service well.

Every time there's an update I excitedly dig into the controller settings and get bummed out that it's not in there. Such a simple, obvious quality of life feature that should have been standard back when the One and PS4 first came out.

I made my gamerpic mega man after playing mega man 9 on 360 and he is now a tiny mega man. I would be very happy if he regained his appropriate size on series x.

For those who don't follow the Halo Infinite thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hvv5BuXcqs

Plenty of updates along with a look at a new Arena map, some Big Team Battle gameplay and a cinematic for the multiplayer story. Looks like 343 have taken a very hard turn back to classic Halo both in gameplay (even with the expanded sandbox of toys) and aesthetic which I think fans of older entries will like a lot.

Also for anyone who's weary or not so sure, this will be released for free in December. The singleplayer portion of Halo Infinite will be for sale (probably on Gamepass too?) but the multiplayer component of the game is completely free to play.

Somebody’s gonna want the wearable master chief helmet or whatever bric-a-brac I assume the collector’s edition will ship with. I’m also assuming this SKU exists in the first place mind you.

Since the demo Sable fixed the mission tracker updating bugs. They did not fix the horrid idea to run the main character at 24fps while everything else is at 60fps. They also didn't fix that the stamina gauge drains non linearly, the map tagging tool is basically useless, and the game constantly non-stop microfreezes.

Thats said, its a massively better game than Breath of the Wild and does everything that game wanted, but better and without useless time wasting combat.

I’ll have you know that the Ubisoft X United States Department of Defense drop “America’s Army: Rise of a Soldier” was very useful in preparing a generation to stomp around in the desert for 20 years. Which I guess comes full circle to them being wastes of time.

I can’t criticize too harshly though, because I played the hell out of it.

I have GPU but honestly, with the backlog of games sitting here that aren’t on GamePass, I’d be just fine without it. Arguably better off, because I’d finally get around to playing them. :shrug:
