other way around. red attacks ignore i-frames and standard blocks but they can be parried

Knowing that would have made the final boss somewhat easier, lol

I don't remember exactly how the popup about red attacks was worded but I guess it could have been better

to be fair it is a blink and you miss it type thing :v:. I just practiced on the dummy before the carnival boss. Soon as I saw it glow red Im like ohhh this is what they meant.

I have not gone back but there is probably a tips section in the pause menu.

Ah yes. Enemies got some big ol' collision and if one boxes you near a wall or something you get to do the 'stuck in their feet' dance.

Can't wait for Chip Cheezum to somehow get laid off from Volition a second time. This sucks man

Game devs overspending during the height of the pandemic, will be cutting costs and staff for a long time to come.

I can't believe the strategy of releasing a ton of bad to mediocre games based on licenses and dormant franchises did not pan out for Embracer.

Taking Overwatch offline specifically to force everyone who wanted to play Overwatch to buy Overwatch 2 even though Overwatch 2 was just Overwatch but with singleplayer DLC, then removing the singleplayer DLC from Overwatch 2, and now selling it back to the people who bought Overwatch 2.

their grand plans for an ongoing PVE mode with talents and the like was cancelled, so this is all the work they'd already done on the missions being released piecemeal to try and make some of the cost back

they won't actually be anything different than the seasonal PVE events they did before like bride of junkenstein, which also means that there will be very little reason to actually purchase permanent access considering that PVE modes tend to be dropped like hot potatoes a week out. there's no real reason to keep playing them beyond either sheer enjoyment or a desire to try and hit high scores, both of which appeal to a highly limited cohort

I'm not "with it" on all the poo poo Embracer gobbled up but it seems to me that if Volition wanted to make a lot of money they probably shouldn't have committed their only IP anyone knows about to two really lovely games in a row

You don't buy Overwatch 2, the base game is free to play. You just have to buy all the cosmetics that a free player would get from various boxes.

Considering their take on Gollum, I'm guessing their Tom Bombadil game will have insanely gruesome take down execution animations.

he's a minor character who appears in a single chapter in the fellowship of the ring when the fellowship briefly rests in his little grove, and it's implied that he's an outrageously powerful demigod that could easily challenge sauron or at least keep the ring safe without being corrupted, but he's so carefree that he'd probably just end up losing it on accident

it's one of the weirder bits that jackson wisely cut, since even tolkien scholars aren't quite sure what to make of him
