    Overwatch 2

    I figure it might have been a nightmare from a dev/gamedesign standpoint to essentially create another groupset inside of a groupset and for simplicities sake for both spectator and player, the 5v5 format seems the healthier option.. I've ran into some nasty roadhogs, and honestly.. I thought...

    I think its more they're closing out all their non-Japanese based studios through selling them. I just hope they don't go full Konami, but I think that's the direction they're halfway leaning... I don't know the full of it, but lots of talk about blockchain with what I don't think has anything...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Lol, are you using a vid editing program? You've got a long road ahead of you. If you're straight to YouTube, iirc 10mins is the sweet spot for long format, and the first like minute is the attention retention area(there is a science, I don't know the specific). Just really depends on what...

    Overwatch 2

    Initial opinion; not bad.. a few subtle qols. The 5v5 feels better, less chaotic, and way easier to communicate/read.. The whole stagger gameplay is more/less gone, and backingup/wiping is more clear cut once the single tank dies; so it has a kinda passive IGL feel to it. So far the hero...

    Not really the best video, but Harajuku Station on Golden Week is a literal fucking nightmare; standstills for 10minutes at a time if you don't gaijin smash.. granted everywhere is during that time.. the old station was super small two part station. Add the year round fact that Harajuku is...

    I was following until they started trashing brutalism.. while I don't know how i'd feel in a city entirely built in brutalist architecture, but some of the buildings are just awesome; imo. I particularly love the ones in Tokyo, that kinda blend that whole wabi sabi / zen bullshit + brutalist...

    The Batman

    As said before, i'm convinced we live in a world where Hollywood will nickel and dime a franchise, so something as huge as batman is more/less guaranteed to get a 3+ movie deal unless it performs poorly.. pretty much opposite of the past in which the original film has to do well for it to even...

    The Batman

    I guess even if we skip the idea of it being early.. Isn't it kind hard* to identify essentially a "nobody" on a case that is a "coverup" or plot through internal* corruption? I'm not saying that there isn't ways to do it better, but he eventually is on the trail that the targets are high...

    I agree with TDK, Begins, and even Burton's but imo personal fav still.. being better standalones. I had this conversation in one of my classes a bit back, but I am pretty sure we're just in an era where major franchise films will be written out for 3+ films and so, while whiney now.. might...

    Yeah, I'm familiar.. I just know that the DCEU is looking at a reboot // "separating" from snyderverse and nobody knows where that'll happen(atleast I dont?); if this were the jumping point.. I wouldn't mind given that it'll be a 10+ yr process.. if done in lieu of mcu playbook. I think as a...

    Gave it a watch, surprised I liked it as much as I did. I don't think it is a "better" batman film, but I definitely feel that Reeves will have a better playbook on how to move forward throughout whatever is coming from this universe.. Tbh, I wouldn't mind if a dceu jump started from this alas...

    Supposedly pushing 30k players.. iirc the last one was like 15k.. managed to get a few rounds in and a couple timeouts. I like that they added a vote for game type and then map; which iirc it use to be map vote only with the gametype was rng. Gungame was pretty interesting. edit; on...

    The real question is, was it a bait... Because if it wasn't.. Too fucking good. If it was a bait, still good.. But my life blood when it comes to shooters is peoples suspended disbelief. Nothing like breaking someone's mental by having them rationalizing their losses; easiest examples being...

    Gashapon, that shit preys on that gambling/scratch off ticket primal desire/dopamine pump. What seems like 2$ here, 5$ there quickly turns into 50$, 100$, 500$. I never really understood how it ropes people in on mobile games, since people are just rolling for waifus and/or unit growth; none...

    The Cycle

    It's main draw last cb was the 6hr constant map time, more casual friendly, and voip.. Tarkov has voip now.. It's a lot easier to draw people in and teach then putting them in the middle of tarkov and try to do the same. The raid down time is significantly lower than tarkov, damn near...

    I liked it, the hannibal/inside the mind of a psycho is a cool kinda approach to origin/intro.. I hadn't seen the movie, so I don't know how much it really tries to build the origin of batman.. but I hope if for whatever reason #2 kinda deals more with arkham/hugo with a lean into toe dipping...

    All of that is huge for sure, I have been enjoying a lot of the balance passes they've been doing. M16 got a damage increase, so it floats that DMR line again. Shotguns got a huge buff, its literally the new salt shaker because it was already pretty strong prior to the buff, but from blueholes...

    I can't speak of anything regarding how good their anti-cheat is, definitely don't see it very often.. but there is an issue regarding reporting; if you get enough, you'll get banned.. and it is semi-weaponized. I've had 3 friends in the last year get banned for "cheating" and having to submit...

    Honestly the summon bit stimmed from I thought it was part of arcane mage shit, so I just didn't bother. My limited experience with soulbourne, I just thought it was slapping things with sticks was the priority play. So yeah, comes more from my own dumbassery and lack of reading. Someone...

    I've managed to do pretty okay melee only, esp with all the deficits I put on myself with playing blind. I didn't have any great runes until a couple days ago because i'm dumb, and i've also been running around with hobo gear because it looked cool; things like the cloth hood, with fire monk...

    Man, been playing without looking up anything.. and notoriously bad at reading shit. I'm 108hr in at lv106. I just figured out how to get Great Runes, popped Margot in a 1shot after semi-struggling prior to grabbing.. shit was like a x2.

    Whenever I did cqb, it was fun on the map.. but I mostly pistoled. My main issue was more/less feeling like I don't have enough smokes or even nades.. not that they were bad but maybe if I went assault with a mini supp crate.. I normally played medic or engi there depending.. flushing out...

    Not sure your playstyle, but I started fucking around with building+recon.. valley had been a blast to just snipe down and keep your squad in the game and not running sim.. Started doing it on other maps, making some sort of fob outside of a point. At first I thought it was a engi only, but...

    Yeah the server issue is probably the only real thing I have encountered, otherwise everything is pretty polished. Trying to get 3-5 people together in a server has been weird, but when we do get all the boys in.. its a good damn time. Aside from what heko said, I think the only other thing I...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Honestly, the whole drop in drop out was the best part regarding my group since we kinda all play at different times. We mostly made it a rule to tackle bosses, we tackle it together.. eventually we had 2 other groups of like 2 and 3 people groups join in and make their own villages and...

    This shit is so good. Proxy voip, drag downed teammates/enemies, destructible environments, 250? player servers.. currently biggest na is 135. Playtest started recently, and easy to get in but its a blast atm. Feels like a weird hybrid in terms of mechanic between battlefield and squad.

    Yes, but you can build a ward to prevent people from breaking your buildings, accessing your chest, and opening your doors. Iirc it's pretty cheap and early. As far as everything else idk, played a dedicated server with a few friends.. Though we did transfer the map file from the guy who was...

    Here's to hoping they'll shuttle Luke as a Captain Commando backstory and maybe we will get Mack and Ginzu. I'll be shocked if they don't bring Sean back in for 6, after a brief intro and his sister being in the previous. I'm guessing the story is going to lead into 3rd Strike, or around it...

    Instead you get a collaboration event with KoF Allstars x SFV.. But hey, might be a start of a new business relationship since SNK is owned by some Chinese company trying to breath life back into KoF.. I haven't tried it myself but KoF15 was looking to be a pretty solid installment.

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I'd imagine loki is going to mostly tie the whole variant bits together. Battle to be the meta variants, council of all powerful variants. Story will prob try to tie it all together and it'll be faction of bad variants and good variants fighting throughout the next phase.

    Not that you're entirely wrong, but there are a chunk of them that are either ex-professional esport players or top ranking players; which I guess doesn't make them an actual professional depending on your definition.. but relatively same vibe..

    Ooof, thats pretty tough. I did have something similar to that early wipe, but found out that they added something that allowed you to get back to your scav off-load upon rebooting.. but I also experienced a error to desktop... so I don't know if force crashing will help.
