Just got my first solo victory! Damn that felt good!

I think this is very important to note: there is literally no point to having 400 light level gear. The only situation where it would be useful is maxing out your power handicap multiplier on a prestige nightfall. So it's more like RIP to the NON-raid players who chase high scores in the Prestige nightfall. There are dozens of them. DOZENS. Edit: I'm dumb. It would also be good for spire of stars. I forgot it's 380.

I bought Hollow Knight on Switch last night. Man, the atmosphere is incredible in this game. Beat the first boss and moved on to the next area, and I have to say I haven't been this immediately impressed in a game in a while.

I made the switch last night - after a brief bit of pain it immediately made more sense. Really just need to practice it for a few minutes to see the advantage.

OK, you're not the first to say builder pro controls are better, I keep seeing it everywhere. I checked them in the menu and didn't like the look of them at all, but I'm going to switch tonight - jump into 50v50 solo, drop in a nice quiet area and just build till I learn that control scheme.

I'm infuriated by it. In protest, if I ever buy vbucks, I will do it on PC so Sony doesn't see a dime.

18!

I didn't play the first one so I don't have that basis of comparison, but the a lot of the systems and controls and visuals just scream "this is an Ubisoft open world game." The only thing it was missing was climbing towers to reveal parts of the map

They had to know the ai was fucked pre-launch. Imagine being the guy who knew this bug was happening, and as each day passes brings you closer to shipping you're just going mad trying to find the cause. Then five years later some dude on a message board points out the error. As tragically hilarious as all this is, that guy is probably pretty relieved to know the cause

I beat watch dogs 2 today. It was fine. Very generic Ubisoft. A small thing that bothers me in games like this - I spend months in this hacker group working to save the world, and never not once does a single member of the crew change their outfit. Why isn't this a thing for npcs in games? Especially in watch dogs, where they were trying so hard to lean on San Francisco style and hacker culture and being hip. Are they afraid players won't recognize them if they threw on a different t-shirt?

Oh they're definitely playing with advantages as you pointed out - I feel bad for other devs trying to compete in this space. How do you keep up with this juggernaut?

Sounds like there isn't an overarching story or meaning for these eight characters to help each other, and the whole game is about 35-40 hours. It sounds really solid gameplay wise, but I really expected the eight individual stories to merge into one important narrative. Individual character stories are fine and all, but the Avengers have to assemble at some point for the really cool shit to go down, so I'm a bit disappointed. Think I gotta pass at $80 Canadian. I'll pick it up one day down the road.

I tried out the motion controls, feels good. Great addition. Epic isn't just shaming pubg, they're shaming the whole GAAS industry with these updates. I suppose making a bajillion dollars a month is a great motivator, but they're really killing it with fortnite. Every week there's something new happening.

I wonder if we'll get to a stage where instead of watching human streamers play games, we'll watch various AIs built by different teams compete against each other. Like battle bots but for video games.

Sounds like someone needs to git gud

I maxed rank and reset playing mayhem yesterday. If you get on a streak you're getting like 100+ valor per match. Even losing is +30, which is what a win would get you normally. It's really fast with the triple xp. I'm not sure I have it in me to max rank again for that ghost shell though.

Spire! Oh no...

I've got the same feelings about the N64. It really was a golden age for gaming, mainly down to the four controller ports and having two brothers - never before had a system supported all three of us playing together so well - previously it was always one watching and two playing. Goldeneye, perfect dark, WWF vs NWO, mario kart - so many of our favourite games supported three or more players by default, and it didn't hurt they were all incredible games. PS1 is close though. Final Fantasy 7 alone was amazing.

true, true, I suppose this is very much in character for you!

How slippery are these slopes! You went from no D2 to two D2!

I just hit level 55 and maxed the battle pass - I have no hope in hitting level 65 or 80 to get the lights ornaments for omega and carbide, but I'm happy with the full set of armor. I had a ton of fun with season 4, definitely picking up the next battle pass, especially because I made enough vbucks just playing that it will be free. I think my epic account name should be mo1518.

Yeah, it was a beauty. I also kinda wish the switch was somewhere in between its current size and the vita. It's just a little too big for my taste.

Vita! Has a great library, and has the PSP and PS1 libraries to lean on as well! And that OLED...

Thinking about it. I need a new work PC. A 4k TV takes priority though.
