you can buy dlc with 0 minutes of content now, where the campaign and all missions/raids are deleted from the game and what used to be a full expansion pack is now just a p2w weapon pack that does nothing but give you exotics

I honestly don't understand any of these words

it means if you bought the $60 "Forsaken" expansion pack in 2018 (or anything earlier than that), the actual game stuff you paid for (like the whole single player expansion campaign / storymode and the open world planet to explore) has been permanently removed. And it's a live service game so you can't just go back to an older patch.

The only part of it that hasn't been deleted is the new weapons the expansion added and I think one raid.

In Pokemon Violet, you're inevitably going to be overleveled for some areas because of how the game splits between East and West at the start, right? Since they both have to accommodate players that are just starting out.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I feel like maybe playing Her Story afer playing Immortality was the wrong order. I've only got 51 minutes in Her Story and I'm already pretty sure I could give you a broad strokes picture of what happened -- not the murder, that seems almost incidental, but, I could tell you, y'know... her story.

I know your themes already, Sam Barlow! You can't sneak words like reflection past me!

When I think of games with a good story the Arkham games aren’t exactly what pops to mind

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


If game developers couldn’t survive bad stories then nobody would still be in business.

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.

In a year when Redfall and Gollum released that’s a pretty big call

Cleared all levels & got all the Wonder Seeds in Mario Wonder.

Can't be arsed getting all missed coins/flags/standees for the 100% clear reward of a black title screen.

It's not going to be SA GOTY, but I think it has a fair crack at the Top 3 and there's no way it's outside the Top 5

Can you post it (link or a synopsis under spoiler tags)?

When will Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League come out? We don't have a set date but when it does it appears it may feature Killer Croc, a DC comics character who may appear in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. Need to know more about Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League? It's a game coming out at an undetermined date which is said to potentially feature Killer Croc, a DC comics character.

Here's a resetera link. The original reddit post got lawyered apparently.

Highlights include

- Batman (that is Arkham Batman) killing Robin
- Ivy is twelve now. And Walker gets Captain Boomerang to put a bomb in her neck.
- the Justice League do all get killed in pretty lame ways
- multiverse poo poo
- game ends with oops all brainiacs better buy the season pass to continue the story.
- Harley carves bat symbols into batman for some reason?

Just seeing a bunch of weird motherfuckers doing a dumb dance while threatening you was an instasell for me

BRCF isn't Disco Elysium but the story is a lot more imaginative than I thought it was gonna be, the lack of expression from the character models makes it leagues funnier (esp. Tryce)
