That wolf boot looks AI generated up close, but they were probably just quadrupling down on the wolf theme for their Riding Hood Woodsman.

I'm viable ladies.

okay Robocop: Rogue City is... actually kinda fuckin' good?

Like, there's a shitload to do in the game and it feels pretty solid to play. Just the first area after the intro has so much in it and I didn't actually find everything to do before I moved on, and all the side objectives felt meaningful and held their own weight.


Also the physics are fantastic and hilarious, and the game hasn't felt too difficult even though I'm playing on Hard.

The secret of the game:

The optimal strategy for almost every fight in the game is to aim exclusively for the balls. Enemies will armor their chests and head but their precious balls are almost always unarmored and count as a critical hit.

don't even really need to do that tbh, you can just throw things at them, or throw their friends at them, or


seriously this game is really good, and also fun, thread.

sounds like theyre going out of business anyway if the last d2 expansion flopped as hard as it looks, and the next one doesn't come out until summer and will presumably flop even harder

I remember Destiny and Destiny 2 both for being games with playerbases so consistently unhappy with the games the only time you'd hear of it would be when they were more upset than usual and needed to let that energy out in as many places as possible.

I played the alpha and beta of Destiny for a bit and then never touched it again for like a decade. Decided to try out Destiny 2 since it went F2P, and…

It felt exactly the same. Same guns, same lack of story, same controls. The intro map hadn’t even changed. :psyduck:

oh dont worry they fixed that. they removed the intro map and the campaign.

They mean the intro map from Destiny 1, which was ported to Destiny 2 around the time they removed the brand new intro map Destiny 2 shipped with

At the very least Bungie needs to put a "previously on" recap video in the game after every expansion to get new and returning players up to speed. I've never seen a game with such an inpenetrable story.

I really want to like War Thunder but the massive grind to unlock new vehicles pass like tier 5, is too much. The game is fun, but the pay to win cash shop is really insulting, and the devs give no poo poo about making the game more accessible.

The game really needs to just have all of the story campaigns available, and you play through each one. It is baffling that this isnt a thing and shows how incompetent Bungie is.

The problem is that most of the actual plot takes place between expansions during the time gated FOMO seasons which disappear at the end of each year. They're designed to drip feed the story over the course of 12+ weeks with a whole bunch of repetitive missions and grinding.

So to make a coherent continuous plot they'd need to totally rework all of that poo poo.

although it's gotten better, but even if you do play the game, you're not actually going to understand the story without external sources or making a concerted effort to track it down and pay attention

been trying to figure out a good spooky game or two to play this hallow's eve. i've got inscryption as a fallback to do a rerun through it again, but i'd happily take suggestions for anything that could conceivably be finished in a single evening

I'm a huge fan of the Anthology of The Killer series of comedy-horror games, from the dev of Space Funeral. They are 20-40 minutes long, and free
https://thecatamites.itch.io/anthology-of-the-killer








Really not what I would call "scary", but they are moody, funny, and pretty breezy. walking simulators, really.

I'm gonna sit down with a couple people and marathon them tonight (again), as it's a pretty fun and low-impact option for doing spooky stuff with people that don't really wanna go all-in on horror.
