I watched Chappie last night. It was.....it exists.

Whisjey shots, mario, Red Wings game. Thanksgivig week so I only work Mon-Wed this week hurrah. 4 day weekend. Also have tickers to a minor league hockey game day after thanksgiving. Only two thoigh and I wish I had a lady to take bit eh. Forever alone. I’ll probably take my nephew along he ebjoys going to hockey I think. Or niece, iunno. I’ll have to ask which child has been best.

Interestingly Jim Sterling was actually sent a One X by Microsoft (along with codes for Lucky, Recore, Gears 4, and Quantum Break) he did a Jimpressions on Super Luckys Tale and the One X combined. He says the game is okay and enjoyable and that the X is a impressive package. But just that he is unimpressed as of yet simply because he’s already been doing 4k and the PS4 pro. He does defend Lucky being the premier game however because he thinks the wide color palette is the best way to showcase the enhanced abilities more so than the other games he was given (and has already reviewed.)

Addendum. I’m classy and got candles going. Well candle. Swancreekcandle. It’s a local place so sorry, but they’ve got this lavender and lemongrass sceent that is fucking tfantastic. And it’s purple. I don’t gcsre care, ill buy that shit all day long. I also picked ip whiskey and sweet tobacco scent and its mucj kore melloew but stil good. Anyowh got a lady and don’t know what to get her? Candles. Like it’s hard to go wrong with a good canle. My vancouverite friend specifically requested I get her another candle this xmas. I think ink I uses adendum wrong but eh

Heeeeyyy im michigan guy! Sorry, but uh no homo. I mean unless youre like really hot, then maybe a littlw homo. My himo standards are set pretty high I suppose. Drinking tin tin cup whiskey. My iphone just autocorrected to literally do nothing bit add that second tin into the aentence. What the fuck. Anywho, it comes with a metal shotglass but it’s uhhh. Not very good and kinda pricey. TITAS TITS. watching Watchmen. There were boobs on the screen sorry. Silk Spectre is banging Dan right now. Night owl? Whatever back to Mario Odyssey. Wilheim scream in the prison! i do agree wituh martinist. All is drunkards get together and get riggidity rickity wrecked. But, where do we come togeher at? Like location ja. Mans it might snow here tonight. That’ll be cool

Seriously people that haven’t played and care, don’t fucking open this. That’s all disjointed as fuck and really missing a tooooon of info. There’s 9000 years of backstory basically. Also, I haven’t played D3 but it apparently explains why the weapons are in every game. Also Drakengard 2 is a shit game and should be discounted always.

Congrats on 200, and what story elements have left you confused?

I’m personally not much of a map builder, but it’s incredibly robust of a tool. Really reminds me of Little Big Planet when you start checking out some of the maps and actual campaigns others have come up with. Practically player made DLC.

Alternative opinion, ODST for goat. It was a side story so it doesn’t really count, but I much enjoyed its campaign and spent many hours doing firefight. Closest game I’ve ever got to 1000/1000 on Achievements. 990 only missed one firefight. Second closest Modern Warfare, fuck Mile High Club.

Does it benefit the game? No? Then it isn’t something that should be charged for, and sets poor precedent for our hobby. One of my favorite games used to be Team Fortress 2. About the time I quit playing was when they began adding in Hats and Crafting and loot boxes, and becoming free to play. Those additions were actively detrimental to most servers because of how obsessed people became. Add in Steam marketplace and people are buying and selling this shit.... It was sort of the beginning of publishers figuring out how to fleece consumers with cosmetic shit. They realized they needed some finesse and couldn’t just do Bethesda Horse Armor. Microtransactions have evolved and worked into games and twisted our perception. People just aren’t in it for the long fight. What once caused outrage doesn’t get a response. So they add more and go further. That’s all EA did, pushed the bounds a little and saw the current limit. In a few years it’ll be the norm, people won’t have the energy to care to be mad about a $60 pay to win situation. And your fucking Mii costumes are a part of that scheme no matter how harmless. Pretending they aren’t is what is ignorant. If you like them fine, if you buy them good for you and great for the publisher.

Well, I can’t think of a game yet that has benefited from microtransactions. And I mean the game itself benefiting, not just the developers or publishers. So I’d say that his verdict does indeed fit all.

Bullshit. You can’t put this on PS4 and Xbox Ones push for 4K. Game development cost has been skyrocketing for the past decade since the advent of HD consoles. Regardless though, it’s still bullshit to blame the console makers. Publishers are the ones pushing bigger and bigger budgets that simply are unsustainable. They need to know their market and budget appropriately. Look at Hellblade, no publisher and a budget within reason. Gorgeous and well made game released at a low budget price, they made enough sales to turn a profit around 3 months ahead of projections. Not every game needs a 100 million budget. And Amiibo are absolutely dlc.

Nope, you’re getting NASCAR and that’s final.

I mentioned it in the Doom thread but I’ve had my lifetime fill of their forums 9 posts in when someone received a warning for using the phrase “Lazy Devs”. Totalitarian is not my bag of tea. It’s why I don’t post on Something Awful either.

Seconding that you get your eyes checked Dcubed. I noticed slowdown in the first mission even.

About damn time! The music is absolutely fantastic as always when dealing with Yoko Taro. You’re in for a treat once you start doing the other main endings. Every ounce of which is spoiler territory. I never did get around to the DLC myself :/

I too have always been fond of Nuts and Bolts, it may help that I didn’t have any nostalgia for the originals having not played them then. Forza really is an excellent series. Probably the strongest one MS has going for them currently. Definitely check out ReCore, Titanfall 2, Doom, Wolfenstein.

I disagree having now played it on Switch. I can tell quite readily that it’s much softer, and there are fewer lighting effects. (Notably the glow off the pistol.) Still though it does look pretty amazing, but I’m going outright say that undocked the game is far harder to play, for me at least there just isn’t quite enough to hold on to and accurately aim compared to a typical controller.

Don’t skip Doom. It really is a standout revival of the series. Fast paced frantic tight shooting action. Get it on PS4, it deserves 60fps and gorgeous graphics and performance. That said... I did double dip on this...mistakenly thinking the switch had 32gb like the higher end Wii U. So as such I haven’t installed it yet.

Ahhhh Nintendo boards... anywho been playing this at work lately. Current job site I’m literally taking my breaks in my truck so I just sit in there with my Switch plugged into a usb slot on a micro usb car charger. Fantastic stuff. Game is wonderful as well, very pick up and play (which the nature of the switch helps with) I can collect a small handful of moons in 10-15 minutes on my break easily.

Well that’s enough of that forum for my lifetime.

Hmm. I’ve typically always had good luck with amazon. I don’t preorder often though and typically don’t preorder items of such limited stock though. Last preorders I did were...Nier Automata? Horizon? I’m honestly not sure if I preordered or just bought right after release. I do know that I preordered Persona 5 Take my Heart edition, and it arrived right on time.

GameStop’s website doesn’t want to work for me, Bestbuy is sold out. Amazon however I can order and have it delivered tomorrow, and that is not through a 3rd party seller, that’s Microsoft. It is project Scorpio edition as well. Same price so no real difference.

It was good and enjoyable. Episode 7 was....a letdown of what it could’ve been. Been playing the free phone game, it’s actually pretty decent and fun.

There are methods that work with newer wii firmware.
