Thread for Gamers IX: God Howard Starfield Edition

Ok, so I have been watching Chuggas Chrono trigger lp blind and we just got to the part where

Lucca's mom could get her legs crushed

.

Why the fuck did that machine have it's emergency shut off blocked off by a password? And no Lucca, it wasn't your fault. It was both your mom's and dad's fault.

Your mom's fault for not obeying the safety rules and staying away from that machine. Also for not just ripping off her skirt to not get her legs crushed.

Your dad's fault for putting a password lock on the emergency shut off in the first place. Then not telling you or your mother the password.

Daily reminder Donald Trump is a criticism dodging dirt-bag to the point that the CEO of Take-Two is bagging on him:

No, it's Take-Two's doing. 2K and Rockstar are divisions of Take-Two. The interview he's talking about involves Take-Two's CEO, which you don't even need to read his source to figure out because it's right there in the URL.

Nintendo loves trying new controllers. Sometimes they pan out (GameCube), other times not so much (N64).

Rich port said it was the ceo of rockstar, not Take 2.

Thats why I thought it was Rockstar not take two.

The link cuts out before the take two on the post.

Oh, that was the most miserable game of DBD ever. 4 man Survive With Friends group. All running Boil Over, Sabotage and bringing in toolboxes. There were NO hooks. If I could even get their wriggling asses over to one while fighting Boil Over, here comes a friend to tap the hook they got to 99%. I haven't been that tilted since the four man flashlight pals game.

Ion Fury is good.

$170 for an Axe? What the fuck Apex Legends?

The new No Man's Sky update seems nice so far. I booted up NMS yesterday for the first time in a month.

A minor oops on my part, fixed.

The devs discovered the great tactic of releasing a shitty unpolished game without some the features they literally promised in pre-release, and then slooowly oozing out updates to actually make the game good and fulfill their promises after everyone’s forgotten about the outcry over, what, a period of three years? Boy, do I love the modern gaming industry. It’s fucking great.

Worst part is, it keeps working. We need a video game crash like in 83 to shake things up.

It's an unfortunately common tactic that people keep buying into for some reason.

It's one thing to release a game and then give it updates, but to release that garbo fire and then eventually make it a full game 3 years later?

I ain't buying into that, nobody should. Waste of time when there's so many better games coming out.

... In the case of the one game I'm waiting for, Mount and Blade Bannerlord, EVENTUALLY.

I know people are annoyed with how long the development cycle of Bannerlord is, but I appreciate that they’re actually taking the time to make sure the finished product is good.

Well... hopefully...

Hey I'm back and considerably less pissed.

I looked at the footage of the Stalker killing me, and I saw what went wrong. You know that disco laser grenade he sometimes throws? I basically was in a tight space where all of the lasers could rapidly hit me.

Conclusion:
Stalker is relatively easy as long as you pay attention to him, but good gravy on toast don't let him fire off a grenade, and if he does, watch where it goes.

Operator's commentary didn't help at all, why did I leave him on? Oh yeah, to play MST3K with the stupid commentary. But still.

At least it came out before the era of Woke Vidya and gambling. It's got that going for it.

Though ngl it does actually look like fun now.

EDIT: I tried to strike through the text like on Discord. RIP me.

He gets you when you lose track of him and he adds his DPS to whatever else is attacking you. I've always found the best tactic for him was dipping out of whatever fight I was in, getting the Stalker 1-on-1 and beasting him there with buff abilities.

The Dex Sybaris can also give him quite a headache. Split Multishot + max crit percentage + crit damage boost will waylay into him if your friends haven't already. He can adapt to the various slash and stuff you slap on, but that's where you use the spoilermode's laser beam to sit his ass back down. He caught me solo once and trapped me in a small room, and that's how I could give you this detailed explanation on how to kick Stalker's ass and mail it to Hunhow.

I finished Metro Exodus. It’s genuinely one of the most unnerving games I’ve ever played, and the ending made me tear up a lot. Absolutely fantastic game.

I liked it, a lot actually, but I never feel like I got to do as much as I wanted. I think the whole time I was saying "S.T.A.L.K.E.R would have had just a bit more" after every area.

The ape dongs were a nice touch tho

I don't actually think it was their fault to be honest. It was likely Sony's. They most likely wanted to always release the game finished, but Sony was rushing them and they didn't have the ability to do everything yet. The game has changed so much since release.

Also, I got myself a 1TB SSD for $140. The price for them has come way down compared to what I remember, so I went fuck it and got myself one. It's also an extremely highly rated one. And I'm also noticing it seems like they're kind of migrating to SSD's in general more. There were not that many options in normal drives.

Of course, the fact I'm getting one is because my most important hard drive finally decided to crash, and I never backed anything up properly because I'm a dumb ass so I'm pretty pissed at myself, especially since I kept going "I know this thing is getting old, I should start backing things up". Downside of being such a procrastinator I guess.

It's a Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB. I dunno if it was on sale, but I saw no indication that was the sale price at Best Buy. It's almost got a straight up 5/5 rating across thousands of consumer reviews.
