I’m about to play Titanfall 2. I’ve heard the story and characters are bad, could someone confirm so I can set my expectations properly? Thx

The story isn't anything novel, but the campaign has great level design and basic gameplay is fantastic, and BT is my friend.

Getting worried I'm not going to be able to get the one Cool Terry gem I need for her armor in Monster Hunter. I wasn't able to play basically all last week and she's just not giving up the goods.

That's what the two ends of the character creation sliders are for.

Not to ruin your goof, but it's probably not great to compare monster factory and not-video-game-attractive people.

It's also harder to make a less-attractive character than a generically pretty character because things like facial asymmetry and skin imperfections and weird-looking hair and poor-fitting clothes are harder to draw or render

Just like female protagonists.

My friend Cool Terry finally gave me a second gem, so time to take a break from Monster Hunter for a bit and also because the Dante from the Devil May Cry Series quest is intimidating.

I'm officially over kulve taroth, it was a good event and I have hundreds of kulve weapons, but I never want to fight her again. maybe I'll change my mind next time she shows up

I got one of the armor sets and whatever decent weapons I happened to get, but yeah I'm kinda glad they're letting Cool Terry take a vacation. She's a fun fight and the event is probably the best done of its type that I've seen across any game, but as the current end game outside of gems it would definitely risk burnout. Hopefully they've got another new addition waiting fairly close in the wings.

yeah, I still have 2 invites to it in my steam inventory that I can't get rid of. + two airmech 2 beta invites, a steam community beta invite, Super Monday Night Combat beta invite, and a copy of torchlight. the copy of torchlight is the one people want the least

Torchlight 2 was such a disappointment. Not that Torchlight 1 was anything special, but they fixed none of its problems and didn't use the new special thing about the classes for anything interesting except for the engineer, who as I recall was the only good class anyway because they could avoid the whoops you got one shot by a random crit because we didn't think about our defense system at all problem.

XC2 is a really good game and I feel bad for initially dismissing it for its silly character designs. It’s really fun.

Gonna have to try XC1 soon. I know the combat is really different (more emphasis on positioning and less on timing, I think?) but I want more Xenoblade drat it.

Hope for a switch rerelease of XCX.

nothing wrong with junk food fiction. If you like a book and people tell you to read something else the correct response is "who the hell are you to decide which books are real"

Look if you're not reading a book about a small new england liberal arts college professor who is kind of a lot like the author suffering from ennui who is trying to bang a student to feel young again and accomplished, then you're not reading a real work of literature.

I looked at The World Ends With You on my shelf all weekend because I want to replay it, but I know it's going to come out on switch this year, but I don't know when it's going to come out and also the switch is not the two-screen version when I've only played the two-screen version so what if it comes out and I don't like it as much and then I would've been correct to have just played my old copy when the mood struck me instead of waiting?


All problems that would be solved if I had just thrown my old games away.

Buy switch TWEWY so that they make a sequel. That's how it works, right? I'm looking forward to the cool art style and music in better quality.

Honestly the Norse gods tend to feel like much nicer people than the Olympian gods. Like Odin never turns into a swan to rape someone

There's plenty worse than that in greek mythology. The story behind Medusa is a particularly bad one if I remember right, and a depressing reminder of how little things change. All mythology is super hosed up it turns out.
