The only thing I remember about the first Greedfall is that I would run all the way across the map, have someone get mad at me, then run all the way back across the map to tell someone they got mad at me, and have that person get mad at me as well. I swear the entirety of the game was just people bitching at me for one reason or another. I do hope Greefall II drops the diplomacy and just lets me shoot a motherfucker in the face.

More like aLOLoth amirite?

No stitches. Sprained an ankle and my knee gave me a bloody nose. Luckily the garage roof wasn't terribly high and I didn't hit anything other than the grass. Still, if I made it, it would've been EPIC.

I remember that time I was "pretty confident" I could reach the swimming pool from my porch roof.

There was one called LotR: The Third Age, but as far as I know, it was a turn-based RPG. Then there was LotR: Battle for Middle Earth, which is the one you might be thinking of.

Wasn't embracer a group of " private investors "?

I played the shit out of those EA James Bond games.

Well they could crap out a shitty Marie Kate and Ashley Olsen game, or a Barbie Horse Adventures for pennies on the dollar, and it would sell 100,000 copies and make them a quick buck because they were so cheap to produce. Not to mention they'd push 10 or 20 of them out a year. So yeah, they did alright. Ubisoft used to do the same thing. Now they all pretend like every game has to be this big $200 million production that takes five years and has to sell 10 million copies just to break even.

505 was the reason I had to double-dip on Series X instead of just paying a few bucks for an upgrade. Good for you, Remedy. Now don't fuck it up.

I think these publishers have all forgotten what a key role those shitty licensed shovelware games played in keeping them afloat during the 90's and early 2000's.

I picked it up last night as well... I have pretty fond memories of playing this back when it first released. I have all four of the Dark Forces games and I've been wanting to do a playthrough of them all, but nostalgia can only get me so far, and that OG Dark Forces game was pretty rough.... It's gonna be fun blasting through this with a controller and the FPS controls I've grown accustomed to. Having to go back and play with a keyboard again was not my idea of a swell time.

I'll give Sifu a try. I've been hesitant to buy it because I'm 99% sure it won't be my cup of tea and I'll really suck at it.

Something about the combat is more annoying to me this time around. It took a while for me to get used to in GoW 18 but ended up liking it once I got the feel for it. But something is different here. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe the enemies are spongier this time around? I dunno. I do feel like I'm constantly dodging attacks from behind now. I feel like I can't even get a combo started because I have to interrupt my own attacks to dodge.

Wow, it has literally taken me all month to get through one game. That one game is God of War Ragnarok. I've been playing it like, an hour or two at a time in the evenings when I get home from work. Which is enough time to get practically nothing done. My main issue with getting through the game is that I.... don't like it very much? Which is weird because I enjoyed the first one. This will be an interesting write-up for sure... if I ever actually finish it.

If Nintendo would release their shit on PC then Yuzu wouldn't even be necessary. The ball's in your court, Nintendo. Pun intended.

Pokemon in the city? Will it feature roadkill?

Oh yeah, I own Cruis'n Blast too, lol. I forgot about that one. I think I paid about $20 for it but to be fair, it's only worth about that much. It's.... not great. I don't have a problem paying full price for a game like MUA 3 or Mario Odyssey.... but their business of double-dipping into the Wii U's library and re-releasing those older games for $50+ was a kick in the nuts for some of us who owned them the first time. I owned Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, New Super Mario U, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3 all on the Wii U, and would've totally double-dipped at the right price. I'll be real though, if Nintendo announces the Switch 2 and fully supports all Switch games (like it's rumored to) without any of that profile transfer bullshit, I'd be tempted to go back and buy some of those games again. But I gotta know my shit will carry over seamlessly.

I do like Nintendo games. But I rarely buy video games at full price anymore, and while MS, Sony and PC regularly see some pretty good discounts, Nintendo sales suuuuuck. I own Mario Kart 8, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and had Mario Odyssey and those are literally the only first party titles I've been willing to buy. The Switch has been mainly a third party indie console for me.

Shit I thought this was gonna be about Winamp.

Yep.

oops. apparently somebody jumped the gun on posting that. I thought it was a bit early.

me too. Well I bought it. Haven't actually played it yet. I only spent like $20 on it though so I'm not too upset lol.

Yeah I had one of them on the Wii, and it was cool, but using the wii remote sucked when all you want to do is sit back and play a chill game. Both the wife and I got tired of using it. This would should be different though (and won't look like ass on an HDTV).

My wife is gonna splooge over that Endless Ocean game. I won't be able to peel her off of the big screen. Nothing there for me that I can't get on a different platform. That Penny game looks cool and I've been hyped for that Contra game for a while.
