Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

ACG review says Guardians of the Galaxy is the next Alpha Protocol. So, anyone playing it yet? How’s the haptics?

Yeah it's saying something that I generally find these characters brutally unfunny but here it's actually cracking me up. I think because it doesn't have the edginess the "I love murder" gimmick usually has. Mr. Zurkon is just goofy af.

It's going to be the next Alpha Protocol, in that 12 people will ever play it.

I just sold my PS5 so this is my last post in the PS5 thread unless I end up getting a PS5 Lite in 3 years or whatever. I just realized I really hadn't played it much in six months, and the upcoming slate of Sony games just aren't my bag. They all just kind of blend together to me.

But I made a couple of people really happy for getting it to them at an actual reasonable used price instead of a jacked up one.

I checked out on GotG because I assumed it was service game drek like Avengers. It's nice to hear that it's not. I got interested when I read that it was completely linear lol. Not sure if I trust reviewers when they say the combat is good, think I'll wait for goon reports and maybe wait for a sale if it holds up.

RPS really likes the combat, Eurogamer says it's mostly cool but then nitpicks it a bit. I gather it's not highly polished but mostly fun and dynamic. Comboing teammate abilities to manage stagger and DPS sounds fun, touches like the team huddle mechanic tell me there's a light on in there. Seems sufficiently load-bearing for a game that has other gameplay pillars.

Seems either complete bullshit or they don't know why Alpha Protocol was appreciated. IGN mentions that found one instance where your dialogue choices has any meaningful difference. And even then it was either stealth through a room or shoot your way through

I intend to livestream an ACTION BUTTON REVIEWS Cyberpunk 2077 Special Premiere Event at 6pm Eastern on twitch.tv/actionbutton. During this stream, I'll screen the opening segment of the review for a live audience, followed by a twist. I will not spoil the nature of the twist--only that a twist in fact exists. Once the twist has sufficiently twisted itself to exhaustion, I will set the full form of the review to public on youtube.com/actionbutton.

In before “the twist is that there is no video!!!!!”

There is no video - he’s gonna do it live on twitch like someone doing an end of year project by pulling it directly out of their arse. Then he will download that video from twitch and put it through a 4K upsampler and into YouTube.

I have it all figured out

I got my PC couch gaming setup to like 80% of what you'd minimally expect from a console without considering it broken, it took double digit hours of effort and it's a house of cards lightly reinforced with scotch tape. I fantasize about Steam Deck taking off and giving Valve and publishers a reason to support SteamOS enough that it becomes a viable replacement for Windows wrt gaming.
