It's like Dead Rising if you focus-grouped it to death until every last ounce of what made the first two games unique was removed. Also the real ending is DLC.

Capcom vancouvers current leadership is among the worst of any studio i can think of

its one of the better looking psx games at least, if you run it in an emulator at a high res it could pass for a PS2 game

Its also got some amazing compression on the game. The file size is tiny on vita. Its a game you cant justify deleting

The game is pretty drab for stretches though

Finally got the Risky Boots dlc for Shantae, it was fun and good but like the base game it still didn't come close to the goodness of Pirate's Curse. Playing as Risky is fun but because you can do her levels in any order it makes the levels not as tight as they could be, especially given you're huge amount of mobilty moves. Only the last stage reallt makes you use all your moves and even that is over far too soon. The game in general is also really short, but that shouldn't really be a surprise.

Still good though

Good to know. Pirates is too drat good

which one was that? the mission i quit saints row 2 on was... man, what was it? i think it was some kind of bank robbery, or hi-rise invasion? and then you had to get away on a helicopter. but after barely making it to the helipad, some guys on the roof brought out rocket launchers and shot me down. it started me at the beginning of the survival section and i was willing to retry it, but then the game crashed (windows 7 dass why) :(

I've only just got the first neuromod in Prey and I'm already hitting analysis paralysis. :spergin:

How should I use it?

Theres a side quest that lets you make as many as you want later so it doesnt matter. Just dont waste them on similar traversal skills.

For instance theres almost always 2-3 ways through every door: lifting a big box, hacking a computer, etc. pick one of these to focus on instead of grabbing all of them.

A friend is recommending Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice so I look up trailers on youtube.
The first trailer is just footage of who I assume is Senua walking around with morose music while Dr. Claw narrates and nothing of the game is shown
The second trailer is again footage of Senua stumbling around dark and rotting areas while her sad, soft spoken narration is drowned out by morose music turned to 11
FInally I find a 2 minute "Gameplay Trailer" of which 90 seconds are again Senua looking sad and grimy and 10 seconds of Senua blocking attacks but getting her rear end kicked in doing so and the other 20 seconds being the COMING SOON screen


Do I uh, want to get the game or

Its a walking sim with some light shallow combat. The draw is the narrative, presentation, and msrp.

Not for everyone

I decided to give Starcraft 2's singleplayer campaign a go as I bought the game ages ago, never launched it and recently I had a bit of a craving for an RTS game. drat, I heard it was bad story-wise but I though it's like Starcraft 1 bad as in "unremarkable". No, this is extremely bad even for Blizzard, the dialogues are physically painful to listen to, it's horrific, at this point I'm just skipping everything and only focusing on gameplay but even then there's some story from time to time and it's actually getting worse :stonk:.

Go back and listen to the giant bomb goty podcast when brad retells every beat of the story to a hostile room cause he thinks its great

So was Tacoma cool? I feel like nobody's talking about that game in the slightest. And I before you ask I like Walking Sims so I'm just curious about why this one came and went

Its very linear vs gone home and you spend the whole time watching hologram mannequins talk to each other so people were left flat after the hype.

Im pretty sure errant signal just did a review but i didnt watch it.

I hope the labor goes well. Or as well as labor can go, at least. Do you have a set date where you're just like "ok if the baby's not out by this time, we're getting a c-section"

Our doc says they'll try to induce a regular birth if shes not out by the 17th and only do a c section if that process leads to issues.

I think the days of like just tossing c sections around when they arent needed are numbered or at least this doc sees it that way. Shes lined up the right way to come out so they're gonna see if she does on her own or if they gotta use a medicine or whatever ( i dont know how induction works we need to ask that at the checkup this week)

it's in the top 10 bestseller list for console games this year iirc.

there's a lot of early stuff this year (Yakuza 0, RE7, Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, Night in the Woods) that feels like ages ago.

I think so far my top 10 looks like Yakuza 0, Zelda, Persona 5, Prey, Fire Pro World, maybe RE7. I'm expecting Mario Odyssey, Dishonored 2.5, Metroid to make that list later.




Yakuza 0
Nier
Horizon
Persona
Zelda
In that order for me personally

:same:

It has the best story in the series by an extremely wide margin. Like, Akiyama in 4 was good, but 0 is next level, especially Majima's side of things.

The trailer for 2 kiwami has the 0 girl in it so you know they are cooking up some crazy good poo poo with her korean mafia history and tying that into the korean mafia story of 2.
Its gonna be so sick i cant believe im wishing 6 would hurry up and get out the way.

What's the prevailing opinion on birds?

3 people in my family had parrots and were individually like thank god the burds finally dead after like 20 years of squawkin. They are too social with their groups in the wild to be with anybody but the most dedicated shut in bird nerd who will give them the enrichment they need to be chill

Lesser birds are pretty cool though but like put a feeder outside your window and skip the responsibility.

Birds yell too much and make messes. They're better left in their natural habitat. I don't understand bird people.

The real question is what is up with spider/scorpion people?

I got corn snakes and i imagine they are similar cactus tier pets that live on the shelf and require attention twice a month? Dont really know though
