I just ate pork chops and brown rice. It was pretty good.

Now that I'm playing fighting games a bunch, video games are no longer affecting my food choices as much as when I was playing, say, Persona 5

I want to divest myself of physical media but I am just adding more. Just bought the disc version of Injustice 2 after renting it.

I still have the first one on disc and any place that would take it would not give enough for the effort of selling it off

Almost all the youtube reviewers I've seen of Injustice 2 said they liked the story mode. It's all pretty ridiculous to me and I just kind of tuned out since I don't even recognize half the cast, but it's whatever. A bunch of superheroes are gonna beat each other up, how complex can it really ever get.

I don't really care about the Injustice story mode as a story, it just happens to be a more structured way to introduce a bunch of the cast while still being relatively entertaining. With the first Injustice I basically went through each chapter, saw what character it was going to be, then did their STAR Labs missions and an arcade run before going back to the story.

I actually thought the STAR Labs missions were better for that, actually. They had some dumb minigame ones but also some good challenges that were tailored to each character -- using projectiles for zoning characters, practicing parries, stringing together combos, etc. I wish Injustice 2 had custom towers for each character, you get them randomly in Multiverse but the challenges are more generic.


SoulCalibur's Edge Master Mode is still the gold standard of single-player fighting game modes though

The association between fighting games and weed seems pretty strong.

Wipeout seems more of a psychedelics/X game but you could probably make it work

I am terrible at console FPSes so I really, honestly could not tell that there was anything wrong with Prey's controls, they felt as muddy as every other console shooter I've played.

at launch the aiming was sluggish. they fixed that by adding extreme screen tearing, stutter, and a bug that cuts off a quarter of your fov permanently if you use the inventory until you load a new area.

Tekken has no tutorial and 100 moves per character.

Injustice is much more a casual game with good modes for single play but you can get injustice 1 for like 5 bucks now to see if you like it cause its essentially the same game but with loot and graphics

I would watch the top 8 of some competitive fighting game event streams (Combo Breaker happened a couple weeks ago, CEO is the next big one in a week), you can see if that looks cool or fun to you at no cost.

No matter what single player options they have, fighting games are definitely a "make your own fun" kind of thing

I think that ARMS looks like it might be the game to convince me to buy a Switch (since Zelda is technically also on the Wii U).

I hope that they have a bundle for that or at least the retailers can restock the consoles to coincide with that

how important is upgrading weapons to beating vanquish? because i find the upgrade system infuriating and the one machinegun i managed to coax up a few levels through it i accidentally dropped immediately before triggering a chapter break.

Upgrades are not on the individual weapon but will transfer to all weapons you pick up of that same type. However, you lose an upgrade level the first time you die in an encounter.

The max upgrade bonus is something ridiculously good like +40% firepower
