Girlfriend's brother got me Destiny on the PS4 for Christmas. Finally sat down and played it, actually kinda digging it now. They did a really good job on the updates it seems because starting from scratch the leveling was fun, itemization is easy to figure out and the gunplay/controls feel way crisper than when I tried it on the PS3 at launch. Neat poo poo, plus the story feels like if Asimov wrote Star Wars fanfic

I love MGS but, gently caress I hate going from playing the entire game sneaky to being forced into a swarm of skulls that are shooting at you as soon as the cutscene ends. Play your way my rear end.

I died at the swarm on the airbase so many times until I realized the AA gun was mountable. THat only took one try as I cackled with glee

There's a 30mm AA thing in the area right in front of the entrance to the airport's terminal. You jump on that, they will funnel at you from the Northside, you just unload on them as they march to their deaths

The only game I've bought pre alpha that I didn't regret was Kerbal Space Program.



Oh and The Long Dark.

Insurgency and ARMA III were good Alpha pick ups for me. That said, ARMA III was more fun in alpha because much like Bethesda, the bugs are better than the features

after having played it for a few hours, i disagree. the actual progression and unlock tree seems pretty shallow, and the combat is loving godawful. maybe theyll unfuck it but id stay away for now, especially at the 30 buck price they want for it


That's pretty fair. It's pretty shallow right now and the controls are wonky, but it shows some promise in what they're going for, who knows if it will be realized, but the potential is there

makes sense you would think the first souls game you played is harder than a subsequent one ;)

I'd argue 2 is the hardest but only due to the dlc content. The standard game is easy for a From game

Fallout 4 is just a video game based off of the hit History Channel series "American Pickers" but for some reason the people fromt he show refused to do voice work and they got the "Aliens!" guy and "Shows about guns" people to make it instead

I got a friend of mine in the 4th grade grounded for a week because we were playing NARC on his NES and I got the high score, so I did the classic "Make your initials a swear" thing

His dad (the Baptist Chaplin at Ft. Campbell at the time) went to play it a few days later, saw "rear end" and my friend ended up digging his mom a new garden and painting the houses' trim instead of playing videogames and baseball that week

Murdering masses of druggies is pretty much the best thing you could do in a videogame in the eyes of a Southern Baptist Chaplin back then. And probably now

MLB Power Pros was the best Wii game, hands down, probably one of my favorite sports games of all time. So of course it's fitting that Konami would kill it.

I'm a pretty big fan of The Show series but I can understand why people wouldn't necessarily like it.

Was that the cartoony looking one? Because if so, yeah, that one was really fun and reminded me of the old RBI baseball series

Biggest complaint I had was the the story mode got dangerously close to being "anime."

The Souls series and Diablo 2 are the only ones I can think of that gets gear degradation to the point where it isn't a massive "gently caress you we're adding play time and choice related content" without them bothering to make it fun or even strategic

Playing GRW with old dudes owns, Lastnight my dad and one of his buddies (my older bros godfather in fact) were running around doing supply missions and my dad and his friend started just telling old rear end stories from the late 70s and early 80s from when they were stationed in Sinop and Thailand, then hen my dad's buddy realized he was missing his sniper shots due to bullet drop he got super excited and saying things like "Holy poo poo, they have that in games now?! He also kept running my dad over with the armored car and laughing his rear end off about it. He was easily the worst player I've seen so far, but the most fun, too. But he's 67 and this is his first time playing a videogame since Mech Warrior 3 so he gets some slack
