Yeah, really immersive world, but the story is padded with a lot of busy work. If you don't like doing side quests, stay away. ImpAtom posted:Maybe just don't play the transphobe blood libel game. I mean for what its worth, the game has a trans character who is played by a trans voice actor. Its what made all of the hateful bigots drop the game right away when they thought they were playing it to own the libs.

Ulio posted:My goodness how good is Hi-Fi Rush, it truly is the whole package. Hopefully it wins some poo poo at the Game Awards, it definitely is excellent in many areas. Like just comparing a game like Spiderman, Spiderman is so incredibly generic it uses many of the same game mechanics as Ubisoft open world that get torn to shreds but if you hear the talk about Spiderman it gets lauded as some masterpiece, it's fun but very generic. If Hi-Fi Rush was made by Capcom or a Playstation studio people would literally never shut up about it. The square enix exclusives are doing a lot of heavy lifting for PlayStation as almost anything else I’d want to play on the platform are either on pc or switch. I also don’t like Sonys current direction, but the idea of supporting the company that’s actively paying mountains of cash to devalue my platform of choice leaves a really bad taste in my mouth and ensures that I really do not want a ps5. Edit: also hifi rush is a phenomenal game and it is criminally under appreciated.

I love boycotting poo poo. You tell me to boycott something, I'm on it. I still haven't played ME3, despite loving and completing the first two, because I'm still boycotting them for releasing it with day-1 DLC with a lore-relevant character locked in said DLC. EA is going down. E: reading this back it sounds sarcastic but it isn't. Recently I went to 4th-choice White Castle because I'm boycotting McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell. Love to do it

Sywert of Thieves posted:I'm still playing Hardspace Shipbreaker. The achievement tracker says I just completed "Act 2" and about 66% done, and there's all sorts of drama involving unions, workers "disappearing" after making mistakes, a new manager that's inexperienced, but also insanely cruel, but the basic gameplay loop doesn't reflect any of this. It's still just taking apart ships in 15-minute shifts. I get the feeling I'm better off just ignoring the radio chatter, but I'm not someone who can tune that out - I have to listen to it. Hardspace Shipbreaker was a horribly written game and I laughed when I saw the writer of the game was some online Twitter guy who acts like he's King poo poo of game narrative.

This is true and also it forces you to use the "extended cut" ending which, as bad as the original ending was, the EC is actually far worse.

I’m managing to boycott cod mw3 so far (just because it’s a loving ripoff, $90 CAD for a glorified dlc) but once it hits a sale I’m doing it I can’t find any other games that scratches that immediate action itch as well.

FlamingLiberal posted:I think Starfield needed at least another year to flesh out a lot of what they wanted to do that they just didn’t have time for I think they got to a point where they realized it wasn't fun. But oh poo poo it needs to get out. And they scrambled. But there's also the bad writing that it kinda more unforgivable the more I think about it. I think if the writing was sharper and they didn't feel the need to make a Game Pass game, everything would be better. Still love the game, shot that Hope bitch right in the face and it owned but they gotta get better.

ME3's ending is better after the changes though still pretty bad. I don't remember if the original version signposted so hard that Red was the 'good' choice. Right down to the person shown in the example being your noble commanding officer voiced by Keith David while the blue shows the loving Illusive Man. Which might almost be a clever trick for SLAM BLUE PARAGON types if not for the green 'perfect' choice and the whole everything else in the ending.

I wasn't planning on getting it at all but my girlfriend got it for me as a present. It's good for the standard mp experience. My two complaints about 2 were the way to quick ttk and the lack of maps. 3 addresses that right off the bat. I gave up on two around mid summer, but drat is it nice to have a casual shooter again. HLL is fine but now I have to be up very early for work and can't commit to one round that lasts an hour and forty five minutes.

Starfield owns, I fell off it in the process of clambering back on the Diablo 4 wagon and because Talos Principle 2 came out, but reading this thread actually has me kind of jazzed to boot it up and go into a Bethesda fugue state for while where levels go up and quests resolve themselves while I bunnyhop around

In a series of bad times in my life it was there for one of them and it loving ruled. Arguing and losing to Tali and having her commit suicide is probably the most a game made me feel a thing.

Yeah starfield was fine, defs a controversial 7/10 but hoping it gets the c2077 treatment by the first dlc and reworks the skill tree and levelling up 40fps at least would be nice too Endless dungeon was a disappointment to me especially after dungeon of the endless was so good, was a shame as I was really looking forward to it

Ryoga posted:All I can say about the complaints about Starfield's loading screen travel is that if the alternatives are the tedium of No Man's Sky travel or Elite Dangerous travel, then I'll take the Bethesda version every time. There's a decent amount of 'hidden' dialogue options like that in Starfield. Some skills also give more Persuasion options when doing that minigame and others make quests easier to finish (Starship Engineering is one that popped up a few times for me). So it's worth considering spreading skill points around a bit, even if the skill isn't particular useful at face value.

Calling them Sirona Ryan is a bad name choice tho lol Also while I enjoy No Man's Sky I do not really enjoy the space flight part. Starfield has a wonky method for travel what with it not being exactly clear or fluid, but I also would prefer a lesser amount of things to click through to go to a place than be forced to use space flight. I don't enjoy it, and I never will.

And as for why Legacy it us the one two punch of it being the first major one after Rowling went full TERF and based around the deeply creepy stereotype that are her version of the Goblins. Potter is also a way more direct 1 to 1 with Rowling. She literally uses the money to fund anti-trans legislation and views Potter's success as people agreeing with her

Imagine making billions of dollars and that is what you decide to do with your time and wealth. I would rather by like George Lucas instead, who spends all of his time at mall food courts, and building affordable housing but for extremely petty reasons; to drive down the property value of his local wealthy neighbors that he doesn't like lol.
