I CAN'T SEE SHIT.












xbox one is the best

Maybe lazy original devs, and new devs being loyal too the classic setup (would need someone else to confirm, can’t remember)? The devs on this new one did a great job updating the graphics though, game looks great and runs very smoothly.

Competency is just another word for skill and I wholeheartedly reject those accusations.

i think my favorite part of this was people getting incredibly mad when the mods attempted to rename the Steam thread the "PC Gaming Thread", despite the fact that it literally is just the "PC Gaming Thread"

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.

i remember one of the arguments being like "extremely tone-deaf for mods to do something without consulting the users just after the lowtax stuff dropped" and yeah. those are definitely two comparable things

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
One of GamePass's more underrated features is their tendency to get the rights to terrible licensed games 1st graders want to play but I don't want to pay $40 for. My 5 year old loves My Friend Peppa Pig, her older sister loves all those terrible Paw Patrol games.

I really did not like it, felt like I was constantly fighting the camera and especially the controls. Feeding Frenzy meets Tony Hawk should not be so miserable to play.

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."


Maneater is a perfectly B-tier kind of game. It took me like 10 hours to complete and even that got a little repetitive, but the main gimmick and sense of humor was amusing enough to finish.

I've been playing Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and its been fun! Mid-budget quality RPG that is linear, with some backtracking you can do to open up new side areas as you gain new abilities by progressing the storyline.

I honestly think the last part kind of works against it to some degree. Banishers I think is a really solid 15-or-so hour linear RPG stretched out to a not very solid 30-hour open world RPG, since the game just doesn't have enough enemy variety or combat design to stretch itself out that far.

Disregard this poster, Maneater is cool. Cosplay as a giant shark and fight alligators and eat all the mans. The upgrades make your shark look even cooler.

The Truth Quest dlc is hella fun, and you can make your shark look like a crazy glowstick.

Yeah I had a good time with it despite the open world repetitive task structure. Loved watching the shark do triple jumps.

Been playing it too. I like it quite a bit. Kind of reminds me of Witcher 2 a little bit.

Honestly thinking on it, my biggest issue with Banishers is the whole Oath thing.

I think the game would be a lot more appealing if it withheld the "you have to kill almost everyone" info and if you didn't make an oath you're obligated to stick to no matter what because that just encourages smash-clicking the Ascend/Blame buttons. It'd be a lot more appealing and cool if they just went "You'll need to blame a certain number of people..." and leave it up to people to decide how much that is and then give an appropriate ending. I'd have been a lot more tempted to Blame someone it the game didn't put up like three neon signs going THIS IS AGAINST YOUR CHOICE.

Even when PC games work the first time without issue, they all seem to have terrible shader compilation stutter.

That's getting better, publishers are starting to prioritize that problem. Off the top of my head, Lies of P and TLOU Pt.1 have shader precompilation.
