I started deathloop, just for a taste. I’m still working on finishing other games. But the humor in deathloop seems pretty spot on. it does feel like their other games and thats not a bad thing. The gripes, I’ve not experienced any of those, but I’m sure something will probably happen. For playing it now I’m not exactly in a hurry, since usually it’s better after a couple of patches.

Amusingly they are simultaneously showing a September deals advert to sell Nioh for $39.99. Don't know if it shows the free price if you actually go to the page, I snagged the free version before noticing the advert.

Not seen the ad, but Nioh 2 is on sale for 39.99, which is a killer deal also. For those on the fence, IMO Nioh probably does a lot of things better than dark souls. There are 4 NG+ levels and the game changes in significant ways each time. Bosses can be replayed over and over. Just lots of great stuff here.

Lemme just dip my toes into politics to declare women are second class citizens.... lets see how well that goes

will be funny to see if they stick with those ludicrous "capture' events as a means to advance the plot.

Never understood the fascination of that game - delivering very fragile items to customers in a postapocalyptic world? It just sounds too tedious to me. But enjoy whatever you want to enjoy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game. it has a great story, a "social" system, and a lot of unique mechanics. True that the first trailers did look ludicrous, and even after when you would see someone with a stack of 20 boxes. But deliveries to an area allow you to level up an area, and that allows you to build stuff. Roads, safe zones, ski lifts, and so forth. You can also look in lockers and such and collect packages other people have left behind, packages going to your same destination. Those will give a pretty decent boost to an area. For each new zone you reach, you join the network, and then can see structures and objects other players left behind. You really get to appreciating ladders and ropes and things. Roads and bridges take tons of resources. You can contribute to them or finish them. It is a unique mechanic that makes you feel like you are part of a community. As for fragile items, not really. I found it fairly rare to destroy anything.

GRRM has gotten stuck in some type of world building fantasy land instead of producing content. the big question is if he will complete the GoT series before he dies.

As for summer of 58, guess who has a discount on steam? Sure the game is short, but is it worth 4.50 an hour? I guess they should have padded the game with BS like most games do. But indie games on steam often do not produce money and this is just more of the same. Yes, there are lots of indie hits, but there are more failures than hits.

AC:V does some interesting things compared to the others. It gets rid of the endless level scaling nonsense in AC:O where you have to upgrade your weapons and armor in order to be effective. It does have leveling, but it is more a "flat" type leveling used for getting skills that does not get exponential. at about level 130 you can pretty much handle almost all content in the game even though it goes to 340.

For DLC, IMO all Ubi games are already bloated and the DLC makes them even moreso. If you love the game, sure, otherwise it is just a lot lot more of the same.Skip.

I played the F out of L4D when it first came out. I didn't care for #2 but looking forward to B4B

The most educational game I have ever played. Playing this you will literally learn what it is to be a rocket scientist.

When you make so much money off of commissions that buying a company is cheaper than reducing your commission rate.

By all means lets hear some more of those "its the industry standard" arguments

Always demand gross, not net, lol Movie industry = scammers, like the guy who wrote forest gump got nothing, so he made a deal to get paid on the second book, and it was a bunch of unusable insane nonsense.

goats won't count right?

Plague tale is really good, solid stealth style game with some interesting mechanics.

This has been called a PvP game with tacked on PvE content. Much asset reuse in PvE, no compelling or interesting or different quests.

I finally finished this game. worst of the far cry series IMO. at least as story telling interruptions go they totally break immersion.

This story is disgusting. all of those scumbags should have been found and locked up for life.

Ugh, I had funded them, looks like they sent keys out a couple of years ago. my emails from then are gone, so this might be... interesting.

Imagine running up to a door and yelling loudly "alexa! unlock the front door!"

I think I'll take a pass on that technology

Played three previous Playstation exclusives back-to-back on PC; all were excellent. Horizon Zerto Dawn, Days Gone, and now Death Stranding.

Death Standing was only "briefly" a PS exclusive. I believe it was always known that it would come to PC. The other two games though I agree, I was glad to get them and play them, as I will if last of us/god of war/demon souls...

For Death Standing, a fantastic game. I remember when the first previews came out, showing the guy waking. People thought they were being trolled. Very creative. Very good story also.

If you have not played it, get days gone. truly amazing game, a better farcry than farcry 5.
