    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    just need lore scanners in super metroid to explain it. lol. Space pirates enslaving, experimenting on, and incorporating native species into their armies, it makes enough sense to think they incorporated Draygon and Phantoon into their systems. The other factor option is thats not really...

    ha yeah. I had fun with explosive blaze for a bit. thunderstrike also has explosive physics.. it can be a bit annoying in pratice, after having your fun sending things flying.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    yes. but first and foremost its a wargame. not a dating simulation. next factor, sex and relations 100% is a thing for Roguetraders, imperial gaurdsmen, nobles, and even Inquisitors. Sex and relations is pretty much not a thing for Space marines. Partially due to conditioning and focus on...

    Hytale

    yeah, tried a few times, and never could get into Minecraft. Much prefer terraria's far more structured bosses/adventure. or, exploration/survival of Conan exiles/enshrouded/etc. this, troubled dev, and push to EA would make me expect this to be WILDY unfinished or broken. But, checking...

    no. its op. very early game blood transfusion is powerful. stack that bleed and kill enemies WAY above your pay grade. including you know... doesn't take long for its damage per hit to fall behind, and newer, more powerful spells replace it. for the most part at any given time, swap...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    yeah. for example... linked to the poe2 reddit Apparently this years total was 2.4million. which as I noted, that shit has to be all corpo donations. no way normals are tuning into this shit and donating. I'd like to see viewership numbers, not total donations.

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    do keep in mind, no quest npc is unkillable as far as I know. and the game won't warn you if you soft locked yourself. Rotate saves, and think twice before killing npcs that give you sass. sometimes its ok, sometimes its not. sometimes it even opens up alt quest completion directions..

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    mostly. info on it seems hard to pin down. From what I can tell, Ultimate gets some in game perks occasionally. And Ultimate gets a few xbox console exclusives occasionally. And has the xbox cloud service. which allows cross play, as well as playing those xbox console exclusives on pc. But...

    lol. that is one of the interesting things. Major lore elements are hidden behind various quest choices. everything is morally grey, and you often don't even learn information taking one path or another.

    Stranger Things

    its a good thing Vecna doesn't have mind reading powers, and isn't actively mindreading/controlling 2 people inside the team that was planning and involved in the invasion, or that excuse would be really stupid.

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    looked a reddit/steam asking this question and seeing of patches fixed any of it. and from what I can tell. not really. there has been patches and the DLC. but act 3 is still weak. DLC which is in act 2, is a massive power spike too apparently. My continued review. act 2 is a big step up...

    Rate Movies You've Recently Watched.

    I did catch this over Xmas too. I have mixed feelings. i watched it with my dad, and before it started I even aired my concerns. "modern writers are incapable of not being raunchy and inappropriate in comedies." He told me, but its pg-13. im sure it will be fine. so.. 1. I was...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    yeah. rough. 70 series is weak. but also cheap. iirc someone was bitching about using userbenchmarks, claiming bais. but still: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-5070-vs-Nvidia-RTX-5070-Ti/4182vs4181 I got a 5070 back in march. I was kindof forced to. vid card died, and...

    Path of Exile 2

    abyss tablets sell for 20ex, and drop constantly. I had to infuse pliable flesh for my recoup chrono. requires a conc liquid isolation. none were on the buyout market. as well as the ones to merge into it. which tells me they all sell out fast. so farming simularcrums and selling high end...

    This is where my plant chrono is at atm. now officially highest ive taken a char in poe2. I usually burn out before this. https://poe2db.tw/pob/FbfbR6jvZQ clearing t15ths. a few realmgates, including t2 simulacrums. ready to try 4th ascend. (a bit overdue.) citadels. as I noted, the game...

    Spartacus: House of Ashur

    Also commenting without personally watching.. Randomfilmtalk has been reviewing them. sortof. He asserts she starts off well. Ashur is an atypical Domini. He doesn't care about tradition. only spectacle. He saw how profitable dwarves fighting was. so, picked her up and put her into the...

    its pretty funny. on an unrelated note. this league has kept be interested longer then most. hitting level 86 on my plant chrono, t 12 maps. and not bored out of my mind quite yet. The game is improving.

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    yeah, I've made the connection myself how conan exiles, Rust, etc are actually very close to Bethesda games. survival, "life sims". so, there is some throughway there. the idea didn't come completely out of nowhere. but, yeah, the pve co-op versus pvp has always been something THEY all...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    does anyone actually think Todd is involved in making Bethesda games at all these days? Executive producer. he signs the checks. he doesn't even hire people I don't think. Managing director is Ashley Cheng. Studio Director is Angela browder. THESE two almost certainly make all the design and...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    I guess for those then. what do you think is the best, and how close does it have to be for you? like would a fanstasy, or cyberpunk, or superhero fallout style game be ok? or does it have to be post apoc for you? Like, divinity os1? swordhaven shadowruns? Larian itself probably was the...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    Fallout is weird and in a tough spot. there is a massively split playerbase that want different things. I LOVE the survival mode, the settlement building. the "open world post apoc life sim", in the same way TES games are "open world fantasy life sims". a big open world to go explore. the...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    anyone that tells you the game is not worse then stated is being dumb. 1. the game is not a metroidvania. its entirely linear. 2. half the powerups you get. you have to backtrack to miles to have him enable. so you get an upgrade, and don't get to use it. and instead have to runback. 3...

    Sinners (2025)

    yeah, I got to this today. Parts of it are very good.. parts... are not. There is of course the constant casual racism. All minorities love each other and get along, except whitey. Casual hate, slurs, etc against whitey. Casual black segregation, supremacy, "we wuz kings", roots" black...

    god I hate hollywood fake generic leather "medieval" armor. leather wrist wraps for no reason. there are period armors that were cool as hell. memorable as hell. Bright. colorful. they don't do this shit to Japan, and Samurai armor. https://www.hellenicarmors.gr/en/armors/ancient-greek/

    Divinity

    All of the above. kenshi is practically an rts. that you can pause and give orders. or move in real time. but, you don't individually control any character. dragon age, visions of mana, mount and blade, and a bunch of games act as action games, where you can pause, and give instructions to...

    Rwtp can be a godsend in some games. Turn based can hit a real problem with 10+ units. Troubleshooter:abandoned children has this problem. its especially noticeable in Xcom grid based games. wehre the A.i. spends 20 minutes moving units. Additionally, it CAN allow action/timed combat...

    yeah. I don't remember any maps being all that complex and getting "lost". what I think I do remember is the "which is the correct path? go forward 50ft. oh, wait I think this is the way forward, so I better go check the other path for loot. go the other way. oh, wait. no This is the...

    no thats a bad analogy. its more like, woodworking, carpentry, or ironworking you used to be able to find a carpenter that could build anything. or local ironworks everywhere. But, at some point, lowes/ikea,etc, started selling premade railings, windows, furniture, etc. now, 90% of houses...

    Here's my plant chronomancer if you are curious. its more of a wip. mostly ssf. except the chest. https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/13257 Theres not a TON of synergy with plants. they do just all scale with cast speed, and aoe, so, quicksand hourglass is just raw power, if not any real interesting...

    yeah. there is plenty of valid issues with A.i. use in art, etc. but, the people making the most stink and noise, have no idea wtf they are talking about. one argument I make is pointing out the collapse of the ladder. Saw it in comic book industry. Inking. Inking used to be its own art...
