it's actually probably worse that Shadow of War comes out the same month as an AC game, now that I think about it

Doom 1 has way better levels but it also doesn't have the super shotgun or enemies attacking each other so it's a toss up.

Enemies should be able to fight each other in Doom 1. I remember any group of Lost Souls was a brawl waiting to happen.

Why isn't there a button in Valkyria Chronicles that you can just press and say "I don't want any anti-Semitic assholes in my squad."

This seems like a major design flaw.

you can just leave them on the bench forever if you want

it's not even any kind of dilemma since the racist recruits are all mediocre-to-terrible and the Darcsen recruits are all top tier

i love really stupid weapons. what's the stupidest weapon a video game character uses?

this honor can only go to Joachim, the gay wrestling vampire from Shadow Hearts: Covenant who fights using random heavy objects he finds lying around

including but not limited to: a mailbox, a wrestling announcer's desk, a big frozen trout, a miniature office building with miniature office workers inside

also he has a butterfly mask that makes him super-powerful

It was probably originally buresu which can be either 'breath', 'bless' or an abbreviation of 'bracelet' (buresuretto) and they picked the wrong one of the three. Maybe they misunderstood the context and guessed wrong?

The stealth loosens up later and I only played along with it long enough to get whatever perks were associated with killing the commanders without being seen. After that I was fine going in hot to most encounters. The Old Blood does the same thing with making stealth overly important in the first act.

The collectible map perks are nice if you're a completionist but they won't do anything to help you kill Nazis more better. Alarms are never all that dire in TOB, either--maybe two or three extra dudes. It's far from a failure state.

I have an itch to pick up Destiny 2 because I’ve been playing a bunch of thinky turn based games and I feel like flowy shooting in gorgeous environments would be a nice change. The Destiny 2 console thread is full of bitter people complaining about the tedious end game now. Should I ignore them and pick it up for the early sense of fun and then put it all down when HZD expansions comes out or should I heed the terrible warning and just go play Borderlands 2 or the Pre-Sequel again?

you're asking about shooters when Wolfenstein II literally just came out

I mean Wolf II's great assuming it runs at least lol
