I"m already like almost done with Hyper Light Drifter. I like it. There are few things here and there the game could do better on. There is no text dump of a story, it's mostly told through cutscenes and visuals. The combat is pretty good, nothing too complicated but it's not a button mash game. The dashing mechanic does take a little getting used to, and you have to keep in mind the dashing does not make you invincible. The game's music is good, the artsytle, yes it's pixel art but I think it is used for its strengths. This game doesn't hold your hand in terms of what you have to do. It's not that hard to figure out. I enjoyed from what I played.

The only knock I have against it is the power ups. Wish they could be a bit more clearer on what does what on some upgrades. Some of the upgrades are pretty easy to tell what they do but some you have to figure out.

I enjoyed my purchase so I say go for it.

And Big Boss didn't became one with his box. It's only until MGS4 that he realized this.

I want someone to draw a picture of The Boss Ghost just with her arms in the air with Venom Snake and motherbase, just going NO this is not what I meant at all!

I'd be surprised if Kratos didn't star in GoW4. They managed to find a character that manages to be a giant, raging rear end in a top hat and not be totally unlikable at the same time. Hard to catch lightning in a bottle like that.

Even if it is him, what would he be raging and killing about?

He killed every drat god that pissed him off.

But yeah they probably will find one. I mean the PSP games he went after everyone. Hell they had reunite with his daughter.

Only to have to push her away because Persephone/and a Titan were gonna destroy the world above so he had to go kill em. :v:

Gow's gameplay was never the shining point. The set pieces were the bright spot.

That and seeing how pissed Kratos got.

I thought they couldn't get him more pissed off but 3 showed me, nah we found other ways to make him angry.

edit: And yet you have a boner for Forza or whatever everytime. :v: Why do goons keep dong that the whole gee I don't know why people get excited. It's like why bother. I mean could explain maybe differences that it ain't a rehash but that would probably end with no that's not new etc, blah blah.

So TLDR, you don't like Dark Souls 3. That's ok. Now talk about what game you are excited about for April.

What makes the hidden ending for Arkham Kninght so dumb is it leaves on a cliff hanger. I love Rocksteady's games and all but you end a trilogy with a cliff hanger. I will admit I did the trophies because I wanted to punch Riddler's face in.

It wasn't as satisfying like Arkham City's unfortunately.

The original Prince of Persia had a 1 hour time limit on top of the screen. You literally couldn't play it longer than that because it was a game over.

More like you get the bad ending. You can still go through the game and kill Jafar. Just afterwards when you finish, you just find an empty room and welp.

Two was more brutal though goddamn.

I know I think I said in this game chats before , but I really wish they made another PoP. And alot of people say Assassin Creed was that, and it in some ways yeah but the platforming and what not was just awesome in PoP. From time to time I like to play the first one because how good it was.. (the ps2 one I mean)

I liked/diskliked PoP 2008. Loved the style, the climbing stuff etc was good.

The whole literally holding your hand so you don't die though?

Double Dragon Neon, Rayman Legends, Far Cry 3's seperate Campaign Co op.

Thos are the three that are the top off my head.

DD Neon is just goddamn 80s as hell and the villain is just full of bone puns. Plus a very kick rear end soundtrack.

Here I'll give ya a sample.

Go to the thread. And I"m not being snarky, everyone has their own ideas of what they dont' like

Bosses are too easy. Sword and board is too easy. Enemies are too hard. PVP sucks. Too many estus flasks.

Magic is not good til mid game. Game is too linear.

That's off the top of my head in what they brought up about in the souls thread.

Morning Games chat, I played more Dark Souls III and Star Fox Zero over the weekend.

Very minor gripe at the moment with Dark Souls but I thought it was kinda dumb that (Undead Settlement Spoiler)Siegmeyer is basically in the game under the name Siegward. He's cool and all but he feels kinda shoved in there. It's kinda silly to clone a dude straight for that and give him a big reveal going "Hey remember this dude!"

It's minor and I know what others really wanted from DS3 was more DS1but it irks me a bit when it's like that.

Get the gently caress out.

No.

Seriously.

Get the gently caress out.

Dissing my Onion bro?

DS2 was basically hey remember DS1, so not sure why you would think that this would be any different.

I don't remember DS2 having literally a Sieg clone appearing with the same armor, same mannerisms and the very same voice actor but with a different character name.

I'm fine with equipment from other games and having the item blurbs having references but straight up identical characters is a kinda bad reference.

Anyway it's not a huge deal, I find that one character to be lazy. Everybody else in the game is great so far.

I was gonna be a smart rear end and said he invades in DS2 in NG+. :v:
