You’re in for a great time. enjoy 😊

Out of curiosity, did anyone sue bungie for doing the same thing with destiny’s Y1 is y2 content?
I was one of those dumb bastards who bought the game and its dlc back in 2017

payday 2 was kind of a cosy game where me and my friend would do heists whilst making tea and ffetching snacks
- Comment on A New Dawn | Halo Studios 5 weeks ago:
I feel like I’m being needlessly nitpicky but the animation of chief brandishing the energy sword at the end looks so clunky and awkward.
though generally speaking, the visuals are tight.
- Comment on A New Dawn | Halo Studios 5 weeks ago:
Sounds about right. I suppose they also want to distance themselves as much as possible from the antics of frank o’connor’s 343i with a brand move like this.
I wonder which retcons they’ll retcon. Will the forunners be human again? Will the events of 4, 5 and infinite just be one big fever dream?
- Comment on 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC! 1 month ago:
Echopoint Nova (Steam)
A short and sweet, low-fi yet beautiful co-op (and optionally PVP) movement shooter with extremely satisfying projectile mechanics, destructible environments and a gorgeous soundtrack by Floating Door. This is made by the same people behind Severed Steel.
Definitely not for everybody but there’s a demo (which can also be played in co-op) available on the store page.

I think the second one
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 2 months ago:
It’s funny is how gorgeous the endgame content looks. Sure it plays out very much in the same way, but it’s kinda crazy how hard they go in visuals on parts of the game that very few players can reach. I’m not opposed to this in principle, mind you.
But yeah the raids and dungeons didn’t really grip me in the end. Pretty as they are, there’s a lot of arbitrary systems at play which kill my engagement.
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 2 months ago:
Yup. The gaming industry got lucrative enough for the bean counters to swoop in and bastardise.

And they didn’t retroactively unlock impacked gear. I had a couple god rolled blast furnaces relgated to casual PvP despite the absurd amount of time I had to put into that bullshit forge activity.
Anyone else notice the extent of bungies creativity as far as destiny is concerned:
- Stand on plates
- Shoot targets
- 3 damage phases
- Juggle balls
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 2 months ago:
Something along the lines of hiring an expert on gambling. There’s a lot of game mechanics in games like Destiny 2 which lock you in through little feedback loops.

It’s a good looking game with decent movement and gunplay, but it fully disrespects your time. RIP if you ended up buying the game in 2017 with the first few expansions because that shit gone now.

yes
- Comment on Do you think gta 6 will have better story than rdr2? 2 months ago:
For sure. It’ll leave the likes of 2077 and Starfield in the dust, and it’ll be performant without the need of TAA or other patchwork bullshit.
I’d be curious if they stick to Vulkan on PC since RDR2 later defaulted to it.
- Comment on Do you think gta 6 will have better story than rdr2? 2 months ago:
I think it’d be safe to expect a very well crafted depiction of Florida. A lively sandbox just brimming with weird shit.
- Comment on New Starfield free update added a ground vehicle 2 months ago:
I found some of the side stories to be a bit more compelling than the main one. the movement and action felt a little bit better than fo4.
The settlements thing is wild. How could they have you sink any time into that when the game ultimately pushes you repeatedly towards NG+?!
And I love how the highest difficulty just makes everything into a bullet sponge. Nothing besides that feels more difficult; enemies aren’t more cunning, aggressive or accurate. Stealth and speech checks felt pretty much unchanged.
I think the ship combat and boarding could be spun off into a standalone mini-game. NMS is a clunky, goofy time but it’s funny how it managed to get interplanetary travel down on day one.
- Comment on New Starfield free update added a ground vehicle 2 months ago:
I’m inclined to disagree but perhaps I’m just jaded by prior entries built against that engine. With that said, it’s pretty unique to starfield that curiosity is never rewarded in this supposedly vast universe.
- Comment on Launch dates for upcoming Xbox games 2 months ago:
Starfield isn’t a game regardless of the dlc
- Comment on New Starfield free update added a ground vehicle 2 months ago:
You know I’m kind if amazed that Starfield has a 10k (24hr peak) playerbase according to SteamDB. Comparatively speaking, it’s doing better than other dumpster fires like halo infinite

Fast forward to today, it’s kind of terrifying that the proprietors of DirectX effectively own the poster-child Vulkan game engine for both performance & visual fidelity.

I didn’t expect to see hulshult up in here along with floating door.
The strafe soundtrack by toytree is also really nice

- Comment on Tekken 8 Will Finally Get Heihachi in August 2024 3 months ago:
Reina has a pretty distinct style despite the inherited moves. The way she can roll for example maker her play like a more agile character then hei hei.
She’ll play like the other mishimas, they don’t necessarily eclipse each other

how many times will Raven incorrectly claim that “Heihachi Mishima is dead”
😞
