Is ME:A any good? I hear such mixed things. I liked 1-2, thought three was okay.

the environment graphics are incredible, the sound is great, and the controls are miles better than ME3. These are things many people like to forget when writing dissertations on how the andromeda initiative's color scheme being an inversion of the N7 color scheme is clear proof of bioware's creative bankruptcy. Unfortunately everything else legitimately is no good at all. The netcode is just as bad as ME3's, the balance was outright offensive for months, and they doubled down on some of ME3's dumbest poo poo like sync kills and the need to unlock the same thing many times before it's out of the pool while putting too many unlocks in the rare/ultra-rare tier. It's in a vastly better place now than it was at launch, but they pushed away most of the players in the meantime because every weapon that wasn't a sniper rifle and most of the tech/biotic powers were rancid garbage on gold. All of the mass effecty bits of the singleplayer are bad, which means most of the singleplayer.

A lot of the presentation is fantastic and it's no longer an awkward mess to play, but you have to tune out pretty much the entire rest of the game to enjoy that. A GOTY contender came out just about every minute of 2017 so there's too many other games to play that won't be mixed experiences at best.

Monster hunter is a series aggressively marketed at cat people.

You can send people your guild card which shows your career stats and a customizable pose of your hunter and felyne. it's very important that you open every guild card you receive.


The chef is obsessed with max gains, and puns





and the felyne armor is incredible.

Thats meant to be literally grimdark pacman right? is it actually good or just a gimmick?

I don't know where you're getting grimdark, but it is pacman yes.

Whether it's good or bad probably depends on what you're looking for out of it. It was made by 1 guy and it shows, because it's pretty out there in both good and bad ways. The graphical and encounter quality varies a lot (some of it's great, while the last challenge was so unreasonable I had to turn on a "slower enemies" option for it to even seem possible). I bought it because I wanted to look at surreal and atmospheric environments and it definitely delivers there.

The actual pacman gameplay ends up being incredibly stressful in first person since you can't see exactly where things are behind corners or behind you, you can only hear them. The dash move leads to a lot of frustration since you want to dash as far as possible when running away, but if you aim it a hair too high then the dash is canceled and you'll probably get killed because of it. I enjoyed it the most when not in a pacman encounter since the atmosphere is really good, there's some great surreal stuff, and the level design has a lot of secrets and shortcuts to find.

Overall, it's definitely a thing, that I played.
