Tunic update: what the fuucckkk is going on with below the Quarry??!! Game owns so hard but I feel supremely trolled by these “hidden paths” that are like right there in front of your face but just hidden behind the quasi-isometric 2.5D level geometry. I feel like I explore every dark corner but sometimes a path hits me and I want to loving scream. I imagine if you could rotate the camera it would break the game, but relying on this contrivance so heavily kind of sucks.

Hopper posted:Question: I have been meaning to try ace combat for a while. Now the Top Gun Maverick Ultimate Edition is on sale for 21.99€. It's a good deal, but if you can get the regular game plus season pass for less, do that. A lot of the Top Gun DLCs are mostly cosmetic or additional planes that don't add much to the experience. Ten Million Relief Plan, Unexpected Visitor and Anchorhead Raid are the only mission DLCs. AC7 is a pretty solid entry in the franchise and a decent introduction to the whole thing. Unfortunately the best games in the franchise are still trapped on PS2.

I imagine if you could rotate the camera it would break the game, but relying on this contrivance so heavily kind of sucks. That's fair, I think what saves it is none of those shortcuts are really load-bearing, mostly just conveniences for getting around. Especially early in the game, they serve as a hint that Tunic is full of significant things that are within your reach from the start, if only you knew about them. Also it reminded me of JRPGs where you can occasionally follow a hidden path into the off-screen void to find a chest, gave me some nostalgic warm fuzzies. edit actually here's a better defense, must protect Tunic at all costs: The shortcuts are often well hidden on one end but easy to find on the other. So they function pretty much like Fromsoft shortcut gates, except there's no actual gate, you "unlock" the shortcut with knowledge and exploration. Fits really well into the game's theme. acksplode fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Oct 13, 2022 |

Good news people. Apparently you only need to tie your phone number to an Activision account if you play on PC. Xbox, PS5, and the Pauperstation 4 players are excluded from the requirement. https://twitter.com/charlieintel/status/1580634832123531267

WHY BONER NOW posted:Good job! I constantly gently caress up the overload on the shotgun because I'm hammering the trigger nonstop. Fun weapon (as long as you have slug shot or narrow maw). And that's a great boss, but really all the bosses in that game are great. I ran the numbers and the boss tiers are: Yeah Wide Maw sucks rear end, Slug Shot + rapid is pretty lol though Vikar Jerome posted:Is metro 2033 redux the first one?

The shotgun is an absolute beast but the weapon upgrade system is so bad that I didn’t realize how ridiculous it was until after they released the tower mode.

The shotgun is only a beast if you have one of those two perks, without them its range is too short for a lot of scenarios

I'd really recommend playing through the first 2032 Metros so that you won't get confused by the story.

I keep thinking about playing the Metro games and it feels like there's so much that it's like picking up a dense 80 hour JRPG. I'm probably approaching it wrong.

It’s not though? You are looking at about 10 hours for the first one, fifteen for the second, and 15-25 for third depending on how much side stuff you do. The whole thing is like a single half hearted play-through of one open world game.

You can always just jump in at Exodus, it's fuckin great. If you end up falling in love with the setting you'll have more to go back to, but Exodus really stands on its own.

I really only gave that advice cause I was trying to sell people on exodus. Playing them all sequentially is the way to go. You should really play the first two as well as they are extremely good.

That said if you jump straight into exodus it’s not like, hard to follow or anything. You just miss out on a lot of backstory and also the first two games hold up really well for how old they are.

Guns fuckin suck in that game It's true, it's not really a shooter imo, and the moral hingepoints in the game's story confirm it. That's kinda the fun of it tho, everything sucks and is busted and taped together and running on a prayer, you have to swim upstream covered in poo poo and leeches while just making the best of it.

Which Puppet Combo game should I start with? I’ve been in love with their whole vibe since they came out but I’ve yet to play one. Murder House seems like a good option and it’s $6 right now. Watching a horror movie a day has me really craving some spooky vidya.

i just started a fun project: i dug my pspoor out of the closet and am software updating it rn and downloading like a billion indie games from the last decade of psn purchases and ps+ or whatever, gonna give this trooper to my 11 year old niece soon and see if it literally breaks her brain. it's fun trying to think from her perspective what kind of things she'd want to see on the console, but also good god i've spent so much money  edit; also imma stick elden ring, outer wilds, inscryption, stray, sotn, klonoa 2, hollow knight, and disco elysium on there for pure goon approval BeanpolePeckerwood fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Oct 14, 2022 |

Ok GreedFall you win, I quit. Just a boring-rear end game that promised a fun piratey RPG that ends up being a lot of running back and forth through samey brown cities to talk to people back-and-forth until the quest is resolved with no real decision points besides "do you do the quest?" along with combat against all of 2 enemy types (bears and bandits) in the first ten hours of the game. Even if it did get better, it just isn't worth it. You fooled me, Spiders, but never again.

I think I just beat Returnal, and that sure is an ending? She gets into a car crash after seeing herself in the future as the astronaut, and the game is where she goes because she's punishing herself for how she treated her mom? All I have to do is finish the surveys for the platinum, but I don't know how much effort that takes after beating the game.

Shrecknet posted:Ok GreedFall you win, I quit. The tricorn hat on the cover may present a piratey adventure, but there is zero pirate-related antics in the game. But yeah it basically plays like a bioware-level game but without the budget so it lacks polish in a lot of areas, including where it counts like quest design and combat. I liked it due to my weird attraction to eurojank RPGs, but even then by the end of the game I was really looking forward to it being finished. Especially the amount of back-and-forth you need to do by using fast travel points that are just not close enough to areas of interest. bobjr posted:All I have to do is finish the surveys for the platinum, but I don't know how much effort that takes after beating the game.

Ok that fight in the bottom of the Tunic Cathedral, all the waves of enemies?? Uh how do I do this. I’ve gotten to the last one a few times and succumbed. It’s loving rough. Man, the lore must be sick. Those that have played it do you know wtf they were doing down below the quarry?? I take it the beings in the manual and that are the hero mouse-in-a-robe thing you let out of the tri-colored prison.. they’re being harvested and loaded up into the obelisks that dot the land and you pray to because they are a source of power? Like harnessing these past lives or past heroes as an energy source is the corrupt name of the game this era? It’s wack. Won’t soon forget the feeling of learning what was going on with those obelisks.
