I have never played a console game, other than NHL 20. I usually play PC.

I have created a colony of Technocratic Body Modifying Female Supremacists.

There will be much mechanical enhancement and much enslavement.

I would be a part of that colony.

Indeed. It is a merry colony.

Only about 20 mental breaks so far and almost ran out of food. But we recruited another lady and enslaved two men.

So it evens out.

I now reminder why i only played ME2 once.

Th refueling and needing to save all your money and what not for the ships upgrades was and still is a pain in the arse.

I have the weirdest problem with ME2. I had played Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix before it (don't ask) and it annoyed me that 80% of the game was recruiting people into the Order, so when a lot of ME2 was recruiting people, I just got annoyed. It's the dumbest thing.

Damn, Wildermyth is helping out but this dry spell till Winter is going to be rough. All game releases all the way up to November, I just don't give a fuck about. I guess I have time to burn through my library (as massive as it is, I should in all honesty).

[Saiwania]

Should a new "collect-a-thon" game thats more challenging and time eating than Donkey Kong 64 be made? I've fully 101% completed that game, even found every banana coin to be found in the game, even the rainbow coin that wasn't found until 17 years later in Fungi Forest.

But now I'm thinking I should try to collect all of the "out of bounds" stuff as well. The items that can only be collected using glitches or cheating.

I was really hoping Wildermyth's mod scene would take off more than it has, there's a ton of potential there.

The Marvel XCOM game will reportedly let players make their own superheroes

An unannounced Marvel title reportedly in development at XCOM studio Firaxis will not include existing Marvel characters and instead allow players to create their own.

That’s according to new details shared by journalist Jeff Grubb during a Giant Bomb live stream (paywall), in which he suggested the title could potentially be announced during Gamescom this month.

Publisher 2K recently confirmed it’s planning to announce a new franchise later this month, and Grubb claimed that the setup of Firaxis’ Marvel title could mean that it’s considered an original property, despite being based on the famous superhero universe.

“The reason that it might still be [considered] a new property even though it’s a Marvel thing is that… this is not going to pick up any existing franchise in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe], it’s not even going to be existing characters,” Grubb said.

“So it’s not going to have any existing MCU characters, but it should take place in the wider universe.”

He added: “The game is going to focus on the supernatural elements of the Marvel universe,” he said. “I don’t know if that necessarily means like Blade, but I do think there will be vampires in it, and I don’t know if it means mystical Marvel [characters]… but I think you might see enemies of that type that you’re fighting.”

The journalist went on to claim that the title would allow players to customise a team of superheroes, similarly to how players can customise their squad in the XCOM games.

“I do think that the character that you’re playing will be a customisable superhero, or at least the team might be customisable, so it’s still going to have XCOM in that way, but that’s why it’s not going to be taking place in any existing lineage of franchises. So I guess they might consider this a new property.”

The existence of Firaxis’ Marvel project was outed by multiple sources in June. A month earlier, 2K parent Take-Two said the XCOM studio would reveal “several exciting projects” this year.

“As a result of the engagement from the past as well as the success of XCOM Chimera Squad and XCOM 2 on Switch, Firaxis games had one of its best years ever,” said CEO Strauss Zelnick during an earnings call.

“We expect this growth to continue as the studio has several exciting projects in development that will be revealed this year.”

Actually sounds kind of interesting. Being able to make your own superheroes and potentially fight Vampires and other supernatural stuff could be kind of cool.

I could do so much stupidity with custom superheroes.

I know right. The Psi operative powers in XCOM2 where soo much fun so imagine what they could do with various super hero powers.

Is anyone here planning on getting Halo Infinite? I for one am quite excited about it, multiplayer could use some tweaks but the campaign looks cool. The developers say it will be longer than 4 and 5's campaigns combined.

I hope the Flood return though.

Im more than likely gona get it yeah, ive been watching a lot of the multiplayer gameplay from the recent test and it looks fun. Just hope the campaign is as 5's was really disappointing.

Hmmmmm yes, Rimworld Art

The sandbox and multiplayer has always been halos strongpoints, so if the campaign is shit, its whatever. I'll just stick to the multiplayer and not waste money.

Its a niche title, its not going to have that crazy of a modding community, atleast not yet. It'll grow as the game ages.

Im more of a single player person and really enjoy Halo's campaigns so thats my main interest.

Been getting back into Dyson Sphere Program.

Spaghetti is predictably abundant, but I've got a decent dyson swarm up and running now.
Next step is to get my titanium mining up and running on planet 2 before moving into drones and ships, which should hopefully help clean up some of the conveyor mess.

You know even though some people in the Mass Effect fandom dislike Kaidan.

He's actually a pretty sweet guy to romance as FemShep.

Ive always liked Kaidan but ive never romanced him. I do find how they made him a male romance option in the third game a bit weird though, i dont think it was done properly and felt a bit out of no where imo.

Kaiden has a cool arc, but when I try to imagine him as a girl to fit my person preference I can't imagine I'd be interested in them as a romantic partner. Still a bro though

[Ameriganastan]

Yeah, Kaiden was a solid dude but not a character I felt would make for an interesting romantic option.

[Alvecia]

I think he suffers from being an "alright" character surrounded by far more interesting ones.
