Outer Wilds didn't have any smgs, iirc. So. In terms of smgs, yes Outer Worlds was the better game

The first time I put FF7Remake into my PS5 it automatically gave me every trophy I earned on the PS4, which meant it took ~50 screenshots and videos of the start screen.

Outer Worlds would have been perceived a bit better if it didn't pretend to be an RPG. I mean the writing would still be dogshit but at least it wouldn't have a bunch of useless systems attached to it!

My dad who barely pays attention to anything in games he plays, got to the last boss without spending a single skill point or anything cuz he didn't know it had RPG elements. None of it mattered!

Outer Worlds might have been fine if it was a linear shooter with a sequence of stages instead of pretending to be even remotely open world or player-influenced. As far as I know there's literally nothing in the entire game that you won't see if you just collect all the quests in the main towns and follow their waypoints. Exploration outside of that is completely pointless. The RPG elements were terribly implemented as well, the perks were useless and by the end of the game I wasn't even bothering to spend the points.

Hahaha that's actually kind of rad. I kind of just avoided combat as much as I could when I played before quitting.

Trying to think longest I've played a game while just happening to ignore a major system. I think I was like 10 hours into God of War before I realized how to upgrade my skills or weapons or whatever. There were just starting to be enemies I literally couldn't defeat because they'd Regen health after a while way faster than I could dish it out.

Out of curiosity, as someone who hasn't played the game, how much easier would have spending all his talent points made the game for him?

Also good job Dad

Honestly I'm not sure. I only beat the first two planets myself before quitting because I hated the writing, but the actual benefits you get from investing skill points were pretty minor all things considered, that I can remember at least.

Attention :gaming:

Costco is currently selling $50 Nintendo gift cards for 20% off. $40 each, limit 2 per customer. I have been told that these gift cards can be redeemed for Nintendo Vouchers which are $99.98. I am going to be testing this tonight, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

https://www.costco.com/nintendo-eshop-%252450-digital-card-.product.100431276.html

https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/nintendo-switch-game-vouchers/

This means that you can purchase Tears of the Kingdom ($70) and another game (up to $60) for $80 total, which is quite a savings. I'm going to get Zelda and Pikman 4 for $40 each. I'm practically losing money by not doing this! Tell your spouse that there is a "sale on money" at the moment if you need to, but get in on this deal!

I'm struggling because I want Tears physical, but on the other hand, I know that there will be an update or two and I'd rather have the physical be finished.... dammit. I'll probably do this. It's dumb not to, and I really want the first Zelda hurdle warriors game and it's out of print and digitally it's $60, so I could get both games for $80. Ugh, that's a great deal.

You can have two weapons equipped? Do you mean on the Pod?

Handsome Wife
Feb 17, 2001

You use separate swords for your light and heavy attacks - if you don’t have a second equipped you use your fists for your heavy attack.

I’m playing for the first time and discovered that today, but it is very unintuitive.

Your light attack used what weapon was slotted in the primary slot and you either could slot the same weapon or different one in the secondary. Light attacks used the primary, heavy the secondary. I had nothing in the secondary.
