Moa

Weird bug aside, I'm just not sure how you can look at something like this clip and say 76 seems like it has even remotely engaging combat.

The game is going to be even more reliant on combat than any other Fallout game due to the complete removal of anything but the cycle of exploration, combat, and progression, and it looks like Bethesda has done literally nothing to address their decades old gunplay. I know that the game has other things going for it, but it looks like it is built on an irrebarably rotten foundation. 

I really don't think anyone should blindly buy Fallout 76. The previews make the game look really rough and I think it is going to burn a lot of people. 

Turns out BR is a huge draw. I wonder if BF is going to find success here as well. As much as the beta felt undercooked, the emergent wackiness of BF is perfect for the series. I am also curious to see if BLOPS has the staying power to compete with fortnite on twitch. 

For me personally, the game looks to sterile and I've found a BR game I like. 

Yeah, undertale was a great game and one of the best meta-games I've played. My only gripe about it is that if you play it and are in on what it is doing, you can easily go down a less interesting and satisfying path than the no kill route.

This on-going documentary "Sunk Cost Galaxy" explains a lot of what's going wrong.

 

 

While the maker of these videos obviously has an axe to grind and clearly isn't the best at decision making, these videos have convinced me that this game is not just vaporware but also a wannabe cult.

See you in a week!

The roadmap to release will be shown in December.

So this is the roadmap to the roadmap to release.

These triggers is dope. 

Is there any good resource for figuring out which cars are the best for each class? I want to have a competitive stable for when I go online. 

I'd been debating getting an XBONE controller for the trigger feedback, but decided it wasn't worth replacing my perfectly fine 360 controller for it. Fortunately, after years of excellent service, my 360 controller has finally shat the bed, so I can get those fancy triggers guilt free.

This game has SO MUCH content. I finally dipped my head into PVP and it was surprisingly fun. Far fewer people started the game in reverse than I expected and I was able to hold my own better than I had anticipated. 

You guys are talking like you have a lot of money, but I find myself more or less constantly poor. How are you getting up to 10 mil when most races are netting like 5k?

Also, I'm starting to understand tuning and am watching videos on car recommendations for each class. It is shocking how much the horse matters for the course. I am running away against the AI with my S1 2008 Viper.

I'll wait for the same quel, Left 2 Live. 

The enemy AI looks very 1999, nothing has weight, this looks like a mod.

On the plus side, the world looks detailed. I don't think I have seen a game of this scale with so many building interiors. As someone who has been perpetually annoyed by being unable to enter buildings in games, it is cool to see that most buildings don't appear to be window dressings.

I had been cautiously optimistic about this game, but it is starting to look like they removed what people like about the fallout games and forgot to make the combat even remotely passable. I was hoping that they would bring AAA polish to the rust-like genre, a hope that I now realize was delusional since Bethesda couldn't polish a shoe, but now this looks as watered down as a happy hour margarita.

The switch is a very cool console but it is also a pretty unpolished piece of hardware, and I hope Nintendo can greatly improve on it and also produce better quality consoles at the start of a generation in the future. 

Other than being controversial and generating clicks, the point of lists is to provide recommendations to a broad audience. I would not recommend Sc:bw or remastered to someone who doesn't already play bw or have nostalgia for it. 

I just crushed a winter cross country race with my 97 Skyline and a 15 second spread, man I am enjoying this game.

Lists are fundamentally garbage and meant to stir shit, but they got at least two things right. Dota is great, and TF2 > OW.

Harmpwn, add me up.

I haven't played a non-Mario racing game since Burnout: Paradise, and this game is fun as hell. Thank god MS is finally respecting the PC as a platform. I kind of wish I had an xbone controller for the feedback on the triggers, although even with a 360 controller the feel is still excellent. 

Gesundheit.

I'm not sure what to do with this one. I definitely enjoyed playing through each episode of the first game as they released. On the other hand, I'm also envious of the people who didn't play it until the whole thing was out. I don't listen to a bunch of gaming podcasts or visit many sites these days, so my chances of being spoiled are pretty low. 

I think that arriving late to the party made my experience of the first game much better, but I also have no self-control and am going to play the hell out of this.

I was ambivalent about the entire prospect of a named sequel since that is a hell of an act to follow, and I have some concerns about whether or not the game will feel fair without the time travel mechanic, but I also have tremendous faith in the developers after they managed to package startling nuance into Captain Spirit.

I could, have, and will talk for days about these games, but I figure I should just go play it first.

Update: Excellent start. Spoiler regarding whether or not to play the game as it comes out or wait for it all to come out

One of the best things about LiS and Before the Storm was that I felt like the actions and emotions of the characters mirrored how I felt playing the game, meaning that I knew that it was a decisions matter game so I felt as uncertain, cautious, and over-analytical playing the game as Max's character was portrayed throughout the game. I am feeling much the same closeness and empathy towards Sean as I did with Max, Chloe, and Chris, so I feel like I personally can take responsibilities for what the character is doing.

Oh my God, you guys will love it! Dooooooo it. Have I not pushed this game enough since it became my goty?!

 

Its seriously so good, and is going to be so fun to play with your husband.

 

Im not shy about it, it’s my game of the gen so far and I’ve probably given like 20+ copies of it out and bought it on every platform including the ce just to own it and support them. I...kinda like it.

Yeah, I've definitely bought and given away 10+ copies of the first game. Unfortunately, with the game having gone on sale so frequently and the first episode becoming free, owning the game is no longer the main impediment to playing it.

I am very apprehensive about playing the sequel to the greatest game of all time, but I am looking forward to doing so tomorrow. 

AA was dope.
