Starcraft II is going free-to-play and everyone that bought Wings of Liberty is getting the first expansion, Brood War Two: Electric Boogaloo Heroes of the Storm Heart of the Swarm, for free. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/21173629/starcraft-ii-going-free-to-play-explained-11-3-2017

Well, I booted up Starcraft II today and got started on Heart of the Swarm and I just can't do it. The writing is just too unbearably insufferable. I want to like Kerrigan but her writing consists of 1) complete and total devotion to Chris Metzen self-insert Jim Raynor and 2) sexy!

the writing is insanely bad but the campaign itself is very very good and worth going through if you just skip all the words

I played through Doki Doki Lit Club, enjoyed it, although if you leave the game sitting there at the final scene you get all these weird loving preachy things about "college is overstated" and "u should always try hard and succeed" and "people shouldnt be mean about opinions" like ok dude I get it you're using this end screen as a platform for your tweets, can I go now

fwiw if that's One-On-One Time With Monika that's not the final scene

goty discussion:

persona 5 - it's by no means a perfect game but it struck me like few others have and i fell in love with it and all the characters and now i've written 130k words of fanfiction about it
mario odyssey - pure joy in videogame form. thought it might beat out p5 for me but a couple of the kingdoms (wooded) i didn't care for
prey - system shock 3 in all the best ways. its last act dragged it down a little with all the load screens but the overall experience was just what i had been hoping for.
ffxiv stormblood - a pretty phenomenal expansion that improved on heavensward in just about every way. ADORED the story, adored the characters, adored the maps, adored the bossfights.
dangranronpa v3 - a stellar end to the trilogy and basically everything i wanted out of the finale. a couple characters were weak and i'm super mad about chapter 1 even still but it was great overall.

okay wtf so Persona 5 actually did come out this year, so why did literally no one else vote for it in the sheep game

I went with my gut on that one and after I lost I looked it up

and I was mad at myself for getting it wrong, but no

and there wasn't a single other vote for it? I thought goons here loved Persona

idk i was shocked there were only like three votes for it or w/e; it's by far my goty and i thought it was pretty well-received around here

i usually can't remotely get into open world games because they get really aimless and i stop caring right away, but HZD has me hooked both because the core combat gameplay is very very good and because you get to play a cool-rear end girl

more games should let you play cool-rear end girls

I love that Prey came out with a female character option and it was 100% the same narrative for it, because somehow I guess only Arkane realized you can totally just do that with most stories and it's actually a good way to go about it

:yeah:

I really wish more would be like prey!!!

Sonic Mania owns but I didn't grow up playing Sonic so the gameplay feels alien. This is not how platformers usually operate!

Once you get used to it it's great, though. Love to finally experience Sonic, and on a Nintendo system.

there is nothing funnier in this dumb gay world than people who don't know how to play 2d sonic games

My friends and I were out drinking tonight, and hit on what I think was an interesting topic: what games do you end up replaying at least once a year?

I always seem to attempt Final Fantasy Tactics every year. I’ve never beaten it but I’ve probably sunk hundreds of hours into it
