I hope the CoD phone number requirements do exclude poor people. Those players are most likely to have cheap headsets or do not use background noise canceling microphones. Get them out of here.

Losers deflecting by using the "you mad?" Pathetic.

At least with the FF7 and resident evil remakes Capcom and Square didn't just do a lazy rehash. They are unique games. You think Konami will do that?

HZD2, Cult of Lamb, and no-build Fortnite. Rotating by what I feel like playing. Some PC games too. Waiting for GoW2.

I do and that's why I'm doubtful, I don't think Konami or Bloober have the ability to make a new game that successfully channels SH2. They've both tried and failed before. It's looking like an RE2make level overhaul based on the changes to camera and combat. In fact this whole thing looks like Konami watched Capcom reinvigorate RE over the last few years and decided that's their playbook for getting back into AAA games.

If Konami and Bloober actually put out a decent reimagining instead of a graphics overhaul over outdated gameplay then great.

That’s a cool list! I completed Dragon Quest 11 and started Persona 5 Royal because I am insane I think. So far I really like the visuals, the music, the ability to talk to monsters, the friendship building elements (until many of them presumably turn creepy), and the calendar structure which is literally something I’ve only seen in Tim Rogers videos about Japan-only games and never actually experienced in one myself haha

Dragon Quest 11 is such a good game. Best JRPG ever. Don't know how they top it with DQ12.

I could never get into the Persona games and the trailers and gameplay videos I watched never quite caught my attention. The calendar system is like an in-game time limit thing isntit? I hope you can continue to enjoy the game.

Are there any games made for toddlers? The grandkid is about 2 and a half and she likes to play with controllers and keyboards. She seems to be interested in trying a game of some sort.

I take you don't care about the genre?

This is a bit of a tricky needle to thread and what you most want is a consequence-free game with very simple controls where it's not really possible to get "stuck" anywhere. I tried a few different games with my son over the years. Successful games have included Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii and 3DS), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch, not the Wii U version, because the Switch version has some automatic driving options the Wii U version doesn't), and Trackmania Turbo (I think a few maps in there's one that's a little more open that the kid can just drive around in for funsies). If they start to git gud in the sense that they understand how the controller works and can understand how to do things like make jumps in platformers, you can move onto stuff like New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (has some "easy mode" selectable characters), Super Mario Odyssey, and Astro's Playroom. You can also try the various Lego games, they're usually easy once they understand a controller.

I forget I have a switch packed away. I should get that out. Thanks!

I finished Tsushima and I need a new game to play but there's something broken inside me and I struggle to get interested in new games.

I was also considering buying the new Rimworld expansion (not PS5 related). I tried Returnal but it's not really clicking for me.

God of War 2 comes out in a few weeks. You could try Fortnite No-Build mode until then.

the Paper posted:

I feel like I'm in an alternate reality because everyone loves GoW2018 but it felt like one of the worst games to play to me. The combat felt super clunky (main reason why I dropped it), the interaction between Kratos/Atreus was off-putting, the enemy variety was hella shallow, etc. It was pretty though and the environments looked neat. I really wish I could experience what everyone else does with that game!

I beat Deathloop since it was on the PS+ extra tier and it was aight, the story felt superfluous to the exploration of the worlds. Wasn't revolutionary but it was fun enough.

The combat takes a little bit to click, the enemies are a bit repetitive in the beginning, but the story is top notch. I feel Kratos and Atreus sorta detached relationship will play more into the story in the 2nd and final game.

When did you quit?

Shrecknet posted:

Not really. You get a base, but the only way to 'improve' it is to complete more of the story. And it doesn't provide more mechanical benefits, just story ones.

It's also suuuuper annoying to use as a base because the fast travel spot is like a good 20s walk to a pretty hidden grapple point so you end up not returning there unless you absolutely have to.

Well that sucks. Would have been interesting to make the place nicer, populate it, and get buffs or something.

Well gently caress me, the ages old technique of complaining on the Internet worked. 6 more tries and she is dead.

However, I needed to use the Atreus squirrel that digs up healing items. Useful trick to get more heals.
In NG+ Atreus really doesn't seem to be able to shoot her down at all though. I was lucky and axed her out of the aoe 3 times during the last fight.

You got good. :unsmith:
