i personally love when the lighting in the character creator is completely different to anything you ever encounter in game and then at the point in the intro where your character appears you barely recognise the monster you have apparently created

No Mercy was the best wrestling game. One of the less than ten good games the N64 had

i got that when it first came out and remember having to post the cart back because it kept forgetting my goddamn saves

come to think of it i dont think ive enjoyed a wrestling game as much since no mercy

maybe though this is a reflection of the joylessness of the ageing process whereby we can only look back wisfully of former joys, the ability to fully enjoy them lost like animes in a house fire...

why don't you just embrace it

i would but even when multiplayer isn't crashing the 'rebalance' of difficulty has added instakilling enemies to the lowest difficulty level

my wife has a wonderful habit of starting big games like the witcher 3 and then not playing them in months, only to get upset when she finds out i got further than she did

this is the price of gamergates failure

I like the new Mass Effect a lot more now.

it gets a lot better but boy do you have to wade through a lot of lovely intro to get there

my friend backed the oculus on kickstarter and got the dev kit and touch controllers, last time we went round to his we played keep talking and nobody explodes, superhot and this game where you teleport around a subway station and you can throw bullets at people

i accidentally punched his monitor though so not all good

i have no idea, the last pc i built was around when pci-e cards were coming in and i think 2gb was good ram

in other news i cant play the mass effect story because my wife is awake and doesnt want spoilers, and cant play multiplayer because the lag is horrendous and it crashes like a bastard

Much worse than fallout 3
Imagine if in fallout 3, instead of having your relationship with your Dad being built up over the first hour or so, it just said "This is your Dad. You care about your Dad. Your Dad is gone now." And within two minutes your Dad is out of the game, and from then on half of your dialogue choices are about your dad.
That is only one example of the many problems with that game

and yeah, New Vegas is great

ignore the main quest, like progress it far enough with each faction that you can't do any more quests without pissing off another faction and get the ballistic underweave, and leave it there. wander the wasteland loving about building interesting concept settlements and trying out different mods and its a fun game to go back to occasionally

i cleared the first planet to 100% and i think it was a mistake because now i cant be arsed to do the second one

mass effect is starting to feel like a chore and i still havent boned peebee

# ¿ Apr 24, 2017 14:17

Bobby Deluxe

yeah i sort of only want to do the main quest now

the one thing thats good is that all the side quests can be done when you finish the main quest and i think there are only a few quests that are time critical or have to be done in a certain order so you can do them after the main quest

although i am so done with loving remnant vaults after 3 planets

# ¿ Apr 24, 2017 15:56

Bobby Deluxe

with mass effect it feels like all the sidequests are so formulaic - get to a new massive planet that you cant explore until you do the vault. then when you do unlock the rest of the planet its just scan for elements, take out the kett base, scan poo poo and then eventually theres nothing more to do so you're driving round these massive but empty spaces.

i think i was just spoiled by the witcher 3

also im pretty sure by the time i get to the end of mass effect the destiny 2 beta will be up

is the music in the full game better than the demo because in the demo it just kind of cuts out after a while

the destiny 2 launch thing looked like they took the structure of the division and applied it to destinys universe

i am looking forward to the guided games thing because i kind of wanted to raid but hate playing with other people

all in all 8/10 noice presentation

i generally hate pvp so im looking forward to more weird impenetrable lore (which thinking about it i could just read on reddit rather than spending 70 quid)
