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.

Is Civ 6 any good with a controller. Civ Revolution was ok with a controller but that was like 15 years ago.

Yeah it’s fine. Not outstanding, but fine, especially if you’re used to playing those kind of building and strategy games with a controller already. There’s a few annoying quirks that kept tripping me up, but I’d played a lot on PC so if you don’t have that baggage it should be okay.

It’s definitely a better game than Civ Rev though.

It's the only "steaming" sub I have and it's worth it for music too, if you're also a weirdo like me that listens to lots of anime and game music. Spotify and Apple Music suck for those.

I subbed to google play for years and the no ads YT was such a nice bonus I wasn't even expecting to get. But then they changed it to Youtube Music and I hated the format. I do the apple one now because it's the best imo but I miss no ads youtube.

I've also seen these reviews and I don't get it as I've played hundreds of hours, I've had about 3 crashes maybe? And all of them were fine after reloading (put your autosave on every turn). Maybe it's the XB1 version that has the crashing, I'm playing on XSX.

As for the controls, they're pretty good and fast! And this comes from someone who had 800 hours of Civ 6 on pc before moving over to Xbox. My pc was getting old and the xbox version gives me much better performance on huge maps.

Lately all my youtube watching have been the “.exe” memefied edits of multiplayer shooters like apex and cod:warzone. Some really funny editing and audio work in those, I’m a little embarrassed by how funny I find them.

Anyone else watch those? Captain Po and ItsIllusion are the ones I seem to watch the most because they pop up in my feed.

I played Ninja Gaiden 2 a couple months back and it is soaked the bone in blood, limbs, and your dishonorable death because it remains one of the most brutal character action games.

I thought that patch just fixed how assets were loaded and slightly reduced the staircase enemy amount (boooo!). They also, iirc, patched the explosive Kunai Ninjas to be slightly less "oh, Im sorry, I thought you were a real ninja, you dog" difficult

Thanks and yeah I dunno much about the patch, just saw people comment on that staircase fight and assumed it might have extended to the rest of the game. Cool to know it's still awesome but yeah, I love action games like this but Ninja Gaiden has always been intimidating (the real ones - not the Sigma versions) and just how brutal is it? I know some people complained about being hit with rockets by enemies off-screen (that sounds really frustrating) but what I remember of the gameplay really didn't look much harder than other games in the genre? Then again I do remember a friend playing Ninja Gaiden Black on OG Xbox back in the day and constantly getting wrecked by some huge skeleton boss in a cave and it looking impossible so is it the bosses that are the major difficulties in the game?

I keep going back-and-forth on Sekiro since it looks cool (like FS take on Metal Gear Rising) but the difficulty complaints of that and lack of co-op have been a deterrent. Is NG2 even harder than that?

May 7, 2007

I beat both but I did Ninja Gaiden 2 complete like a decade ago. They are very distinct titles from each other, both are brutally hard. NG2 is shorter, but theres also not really like, side content to power up with like Sekiro has (to a limited extent).

NG2 is definitely less fair feeling. Ive not played far enough in since patching but there were enemies that would tag you with explosives and the way to deal with them was to count down the explosion timer then dash (when you're invulnerable) while it explodes. Super badass, yes, but also like an absolute poo poo show when you're fighting 10 other dudes and the screen is spraying with blood. The game has random difficulty spikes and a camera that occassionaly gets your hyper murdered.

Sekiro on the other hand is gonna expect you to absolutely learn enemies and your responses to them but you are basically never ever intended to fight more than one at a time. You can through pure memory defeat bosses and while they have dastardly tricks they're a lot more predictable than NG2 and they won't you know, offscreen juggle you to death with rocket launchers.

When everything clicks the payoff in Sekiro is a very one to one feeling of mastery over an opponent while in NG2 its "holy poo poo thats a lot of blood and dead people"

I forget whether it was NG1 or 2 (or both), but at some point in the game you get a sword that refills your health over time, so you can wait around between fights and kinda cheese the game a bit if you're so inclined.

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

I bought the original Xbox game Splinter Cell digitally on the Microsoft Store on their website to play on my 360. If I look it up on the store on the 360 it shows a purchase option for a different price. I don't see another way of finding and downloading it on the 360. I can pull up a download list but it's not listed there.

The page on the Microsoft Store says playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series but so do other games that are definitely playable on the 360 like the recent free Ms Splosion Man.

I'd get on to MS Support and see what the story is, there's definitely cases where the old digital versions of games have been up as separate downloads that don't work on newer consoles, I remember seeing 2 different Max Payne 3 for 360s up there.

On PC Game Pass, anyone ever move a drive and have gamepass just find all the installed stuff?

Thankfully because they changed it to allow installs to wherever I have a secondary SATA SSD drive with my games on that (D:\XBoxGames) and I'm building a new PC and hoping I can just move the drive over and it will "just work" so I don't have to redownload a bunch of poo poo :haw:
