for VR MAKE SURE your VR is good

It's good enough. And if for whatever reason that changes, I wouldn't be against a GPU upgrade down the line. Just the prices are insane when I last checked, and my current CPU is plenty for what I do.

Was playing this earlier until xcloud shit the bed. Quite engaging and chill, although the uncle Ben fight is pissing me off.

Now that I have progressed further I wonder what it was about the Uncle Ben fight pissed you off? I'm playing on normal and that was a first try win. The combat encounters are easy as shit in general, what bothers me is that if normal enemies partially overlap with an armored enemy you can't deal damage to them.
 
idk if it's been mentioned by there's been some leaks for the elden rang movie. Dung eater from the intro scene and Marika. Good news so far, and marika is played by a white actress.

A new look at the upcoming second generation (or third depending on your argument) of the Steam Controller. $99 is too expansive even if I liked the old one and for that price Valve should have included a headphone and mic jack.

At least they got the sticks the in the right place unlike xbox or nintendo. Buttons are still convex though, only xbox makes that mistake. Also the grips are too far from the main inputs.

My ten year old OG one still works and my ps4 controller can work with anything with DS4windows running so that sucks.

Also, its good to see that AAA companies/investment firms have stopped giving a fuck if the astroturfing is convincing or not, Let me give a couple of examples:

When the Indiana Jones game came out, I checked the steam reviews and I saw a lot of reviews that looked like they were written by Indians using ChatGPT. It was just paragraphs of nonsense. I heard no one at work talking about it, but I would hear/see ads for the game fucking everywhere.

Mouse P.I. is another example. How does a upstart "indie dev" able to afford Troy baker and Debra Willson on their very first game? It makes no fucking sense. You can envision the board room meeting without trying.

"Hey John, remember Cuphead's art style? lets do that"

"Good idea Bob, I heard these things called "boomer shooters" are hot right now"

"sounds good John, let's making the main enemies a stand in for nazis."

Had miserable time getting Earth Magic. Tyris was not the first choice, but it worked fine in the end.

It probably wasn't the developers choice, or if it was, it wasn't their money. The publisher Australian PlaySide Studios is Australia's largest video game publisher, and funded by the Australian government from what I understand.

Just tax breaks and a few grants, like the film industry. Screen Australia is pretty schizo about whether they want to support game development or not. They hand out little peanuts packages on a per-project basis mostly, and occasionally toss maybe a couple million for office space development or whatever someone's way. Unless they have some special deal I doubt it's an ongoing arrangement.

It's cheaper than the higher end controllers for the Xbox and PS5, comes with trackpads, and uses TMR for the thumbsticks sensors unlike the aforementioned pro controllers from Microsoft and Sony that still use potentiometers. $100 is completely fair.

Oh wow, the game that basically popularised post-apocalyptic settings in gaming feels generic after nearly three decades of every single game since than ripping it off?
You should be fucking euthanized.

The new Blood West DLC features the original voice of SHODAN as a playable character. It's a roguelike dlc with rotating playable characters.

The original game featured Stephen Russel of Thief(Garrett) and Skyrim(like 300% of the voiced cast) too.
Hearing totally not Shodan and totally not Caleb is cool but I do not want to spend money on anything that involves Gianni's voice least of all a roguelike/lite

And add a B list actress. Wait a minute, this is mice. Nevermind.
 
Finally gave in and bought Fall of Avalon. It seems solid and respectfully difficulty, but I read they randomly dropped a patch that tripled the HP of all enemies and it honestly feels like a Bethesda game now. The 'difficulty' being a mob taking 18 fireballs instead of 8. Yea, the talent system reads like "easier to apply burn; burn does more dmg and lasts longer; burn increases dmg taken" etc. It makes sense but it reads like a fucking WoW encounter. I don't wanna blow my CDs and alternate spells to kill a grumpy bandit.

Also bought DD2. I really like the original but it takes some real roughhousing to get into again. Even just DD2 having this infinite-use key you need to fabricate a copy of to stand a chance in the game is the kind of gimmick shit that makes me annoyed. You need to restart those games 4 times to get a good run going.

I was just coming here to give my impressions of it, funnily. I've been playing it the past couple weeks and I've really been enjoying it. It feels like a game from a different time, it's like playing a lost Xbox 360 game or something. It's got the good amount of content, lots of systems all of which are not equal in usefulness and open-ish world of the era. It feels more like Kingdoms of Amalur, Two Worlds or Fable then it does a modern game. It's discount Skyrim for sure, it's trying to emulate it but falls short in most depth (I know "depth" in Skyrim, lol) where stuff like the skill system feels like an afterthought, the more simmy stuff like crime and law, home ownership and item clutter are there as more of a token. These shortfalls to it's main comparison are not downsides to me though, I just like the era of RPG it's more like and it really does have a ton of quests and builds are fun to make because of all the different itemizations. I kinda expected it to be grimdark based on the trailers, but a lots of the stuff is actually pretty goofy... in fact, most of the non-core quest stuff leans that way. I like the dash system which is the kind of thing I've always feel like a 1st person RPG needs something like to compensate for your lack of overall battlefield view to make them less relaint on being mostly stat based. The early game is seemingly where it's at it's hardest, once you start putting a build together the difficulty drops off... or maybe that's because I am a mage that let's my summons hold the aggro and I often get one-shotted if I am carless because I never level endurence, haha. Or I did early game at least... now late-mid game I'm in the god-like state you usually are if you have basic competency in build-making in such games.

It ain't the return to more fantasy life-simmy Skyrim and especially Morrowind 1st person RPG I so despratley crave but it ended up being another kind of lost form of game I am overjoyed to see. It's been a long time since something has felt like such a solid AA game, a near extinct relic.

Shit like this is why people don’t like “OG” Fallout fans.
You’re all batshit crazy retards who say shit like this when someone dares to not kiss the ground that your B-tier project (Tim Cain’s words not mine) walks on.

You deserve what Fallout has become and I relish in the fact that you lunatics hate that it’s become one of the juggernauts of gaming and now a brand with corporately crafted products and marketable plushies and other garbage like that. Your frothing rage at the TV show is like pure ambrosia.

Eat shit and live.
