my reaction times are still pretty solid but my ability to track targets in overwatch has reached doodoo toilet levels compared to what teenage me could pull off in counterstrike and such. i think you're right that it's partially because big budget twitch based shooters are hard to find and i'm playing them less and less these days and i'm absolutely out of practice though.

also hello february thread i just have to stay alive for two more months and sekiro will be out

isn't monster hunter only a couple of steps removed from an Dark Souls or an Devil May Cry? you're probably more accustomed to it than you think

i'd rather play beat em ups than fighting games and my brother would rather play fighting games than beat em ups, it's an odd situation.

edf's always been a game series on the fringe of my perception. it's kind of like a goofy pve third person shooter along the lines of a just cause 2 or perhaps an attenuated saints row?

i posted this in the sekiro thread proper but it's pretty quiet over there since the game isn't out yet, i actually went through and watched all the video content game informer threw up over the past month about the game and it's looking much more ninja gaiden-y than i expected but was definitely hoping for, so even more hyped now.

mostly. the gameplay has never been anything but above average at best. the writing was never particularly spectacular either but the fans went nuts over getting to mash their barbies together on dates for a while there.

hmm nioh's on sale for $25 which is more than i'd want to pay but i desperately need something to tide me over until sekiro

hmm looks like assassin's creed odyssey is $30 so with the 5 off it'd be $25 too... or i could finally get origins for $20 and save a fiver... this is the most i've thought about a steam sale in a long time

Cowcaster
Aug 7, 2002



well i started to have to look at charts of what version of odyssey and what versions of origins i'd need to buy in order to get any story dlc and they're all more expensive and also gently caress this noise i think i'm going with nioh

man, i forgot there was even a battlefield v. didn’t one (the 4th battlefield) come out just last year

Cowcaster

Harrow posted:

I think it was 2016

Also I think BFOne was the fifth Battlefield because there was a Battlefield 4 before it.

There's usually like a two-year gap between Battlefield games so V was pretty much on schedule (BF4 in 2014, One in 2016, V in 2018)

so what you’re telling me is they called the fifth battlefield battlefield one and the sixth battlefield battlefield five

Cowcaster

then again they called the first battlefield battlefield 1942

A decent F2P BR seems a lot more likely to be a success than the Battlefield one idk

Isn't that what happened with Fortnite/PUBG

i think that was more pubg was the first minimum viable product and fortnite was the first triple a whack at the genre and also it was free to play

well i played through the tutorial level of nioh and then the tutorial, which takes place after the tutorial level, for reasons? it's shaping up to be neat but i wish i knew/learned about all the technique stuff going through the rainy castle instead of in a weird sandbox after the fact.
