Thread for Gamers IX: God Howard Anniversary Edition

[Ifreann]

Arkane sure do seem to be good at making the videos game. I've heard good things about Deathloop.

Ive heard good things too and think it could be a lot of fun. But im holding off at the moment just trying to save money and hoping it gets an xbox release some point down the line.

I think it needs a fairly beefy machine to run well, so I probably won't be grabbing it until I get a new computer, which I don't plan to do any time soon.

I have consistently enjoyed every Arkhane game ive played so far, Dishonoured and Dishonoured 2 were both really fun and i love Prey.

Death of the Outsider is good too, if you haven't played that.

Thats the one where you play as the black lady right? I dont think ive played that one so i might get around to it at some point.

Tried to give BF5 another try, cannot forgive how weak they made the fucking Garand, unforgivable.

I just picked up BFV as I said in my last post, I am not looking forward to this.

I only have it because it's on the EA game pass, don't waste a nickel on it.

[Holy Tedalonia]

I fortunately passed on Cyberpunk, but I was curious because I havent heard anything... Has CDProjektRed given up on Cyberpunk? I haven't heard shit from them.

Same. I get EA Access through game pass, said why not, and got it.

From what I remember, there's been updates, but they're mostly bugfixes and QoL improvements.

Allegedly Quantic Dreams is making a Star Wars game and has been for some time.

Luke is gona get the Cage

Deltarune Chapter 2

giving me vibes of “90ies/early 00′s saturday morning cartoon episode about internet made in 2021”.

Have they been keeping to their roadmap? Or is it kinda of a no mans sky route?

For every pretty nice house I make in the sims I make a dozen groverhaus’s.

Please god no. When the Super Best Friends died, Cage should have quit, I can't handle a release of his without them tearing it apart.

I'm not to familiar with the topic, but why would a irrelevant ass podcast be the reason why a somewhat notable director to quit.

Yeah, that's the one. The Outsider is also involved.

It would be absurd, almost like a joke.

I've not been keeping up with Cyberpunk to be sure, but if they promised on their roadmap to drop any content between the release and now, either it's completely passed me by or they haven't kept their promises.

It lapsed with the big fixes taking priority. Good fixes though, runs a lot better a d took care of a lot of little things.

Going back to Valheim has been Nice™. I'm well set up with bronze gear with my new character. Have some tamed boars. I'll start some carrot farms going while I sail off to find the second boss and I'll be venturing into the swamps in no time. I'll need to figure out somewhere in my base to put all my portals.

Damn, they are still doing bug fixes? I know that launch was cursed, but it's kinda crazy they still have bugs to chip away with.

[Valentine Z]

With me playing as the Khmer in AoE 2, my farms are all over the place, and they are not even aligned properly.

I'm okay with that.

It's a lot of quality of life fixes too, like pulling the minimap out when you're in a car, which apparently involves some pretty depth e fine work? They did kind of add content, I think a new weapon, new clothing, and a new mid range car?

[Holy Tedalonia]

Bruh, the Aserei are becoming way to much of a fucking nuisance in bannerlord. They got double the men compared to everybody else, and they haven't expanded at all. I'm going to heads roll, because I can't keep fighting hordes of Aserei nonstop.

[Hispida]

commando .308 kinda good in pd2

also the skins it has are fucking god tier

[Ameriganastan]

Thank God, I am finally done with Like A Dragon. Christ on his throne, this game was complete and utter garbage.

Ichiban is a terrible replacement for Kiryu. An annoying dumbass with a stupid haircut and an agitating personality.

The supporting cast were about as interesting as driftwood. Between the homeless guy, old guy and token female party member, I cared not one iota for them.

The story was a rambling, overly long mess with the dumbest twist since the rubber bullets in 4.

Has quite possibly the lamest final boss fight I've seen in this franchise, and yes, I'm including the terrible last boss from 4.

The main villain was as boring as watching paint dry.

The other villains were lame.

And it's pretty Goddamn sexist. The guys get to be things like breakdancers, fortune tellers, rock musicians, etc. The girls? They get such progressive classes as hostess, dominatrix, idol singer and a bartender who fights with their purse.

The only brief bright spot was

Kiryu showing up. Which also just reinforced how much cooler he is than this asswipe that took his place.

Fuck this game. If there's a Like A Dragon 2, you can bet my ass is staying far away. Far as Ameri is concerned, this franchise ended at Yakuza 6.
