XCOM 2 came out at a time where I was starved for games and really really bored at all times.

I think about how glad I am that I didn't buy it very often.

 

[Bowlie]

Unrelated, but the ending of The Wire's S3 was exhilarating. Best season so far.

 

[hamchan]

XCOM 1 is still on my backlog and it looks like I should just play that instead of 2.

 

[Archaix]

XCOM2 is incredible. It was also a bit of a piece of garbage at launch. I lost an ironman run because of three different bugs in a single month so I put it down and will start a new game once some actual DLC comes out and I see whether that's work looking into.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

XCOM 2 seemed like it was it the new thing and was gone within a week.

 

[Mister Negative]

I feel like game hype just isn't sticking around very much this gen. I've almost forgotten that The Witness came out this year. It'll be interesting to see what stuck around in their minds come GOTY.

Eh, there are a lot of nice changes to 2 that I appreciate for gameplay, namely the removal of that stupid awful "capture the aliens" thing that they made you do for research objectives. Psi Ops are a great class in 2 where abilities just don't feel rewarding in 1. But if you have Enemy Within, that is definitely more fun to play because MECs are so cool.

 

[Ibleedbolts]

this has to have been suggested but the next thread title should be "A Social Space for Marbles"

 

[Jintor]

Yeah it feels like nothing's really sticking in my head. Then again my life outside games is getting slowly more complicated so that's probably part of it

 

[Salty Catfish]

I think that might be my favorite season of the whole show. Four is great, too, and five is good but not up to the standard set by the others.

Unfortunately only the worst titles get selectdd these days.

Same.

 

[Tubobutts]

You guys keep coming up with new titles and Drew is never going to get to fuck a tank.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

You have it already?

Yeah.

I think it's just a case of so many games coming out that things tend to get forgotten more easily than they used to.

 

[Bacon]

Yeah.

I think it's just a case of so many games coming out that things tend to get forgotten more easily than they used to.

It is the best time to be playing games after all

 

[Megasoum]

I love the idea of Enter the Gungeon but not really the whole Bullet Hell aspect of it.

What other game in the genre a worth playing? I know about Isaac and Throne but they are both also kind of Bullet Hell so....

 

[Gurrry]

The steam store page is fucking unbearable now with all the VR stuff. They really should have a way to filter that stuff out considering the device required to play the game is owned by a very small number of people.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I have no idea where you get the idea that Isaac is a bullet hell game, other than a select few attacks the final bosses have.

Yeah... I guess you're right

heads-up: we're starting the persona 4 er rewatch in about an hour

 

[Houndi101]

Finally done with all the VR archives, now we wait for PSVR

Hammerwatch might be worth checking out. It can get a bit bullet hellish at times but not very much. And it's fantastic a game. One of my all time favorites for sure.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I'm on what I think is the last mission of XCOM 2 and I'm having a blast. My force and general situation was incredibly dire halfway through, but I stuck with it and turned everything around. The past two missions I've just laid waste to all before me.

Really hope there's a proper expansion and/or Long War 2 (probably likely as they set up their own studio in that name in the run up to XCOM 2's launch).

As for Fire Emblem...insert rainy picture of Europe looking in through the window, here.

 

[Megasoum]

Finally watching the UPF.... Man... Battleborn looks fucking terrible

 

[Hot Coldman]

What's this now?

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Listening to the new Powerbombcast. This is the most I've disagreed with opinions of the pbc crew by far. Makes me really glad I don't get frustrated by stuff like that and just enjoy engaging conversation.

 

[Archaix]

Is that going by number of episodes or a time block? First 10 or so go by real quick from what I remember.

 

[omgkitty]

Yeah when the episodes were like 15 minutes each. So naive!

time block, for sure

Guys, I got the wind up gun in Enter The Gungeon last night. I didn't think much when I first saw it, then I fired it, then I reloaded it, and it's a fucking Futurama reference.

I love this game so much.

 

[Houndi101]

Wonder what Content we're getting from Beast team instead of Kerbal tomorrow...

The DrkSlz 3 QL. I doubt they have another series ready to go.

I had a run earlier today where I ended up with the Quad Laser from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the cannon from Serious Sam. This game ruuuuuules.

I was laughing when Dan immediately picked up on two MGS references in the Quick Look but doubted whether or not they were actual references.

Old Dan wouldn't have doubted it.

Going to be honest here,

Hover Whatever is not an interesting game to watch be streamed

I was just talking to someone who got the proton pack from Ghostbusters on their first run. Amazing!

 

[TraBuch]

I think I'm gonna replay the Mass Effect trilogy.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Started checking into Lucha Underground just because of the PBC damnit. I thought I was done with wrestling since like 10 years ago.

It's the only wrestling show I can recommend to non-wrestling fans.

Futurama references are always the best references.

I suspect I know the answer but what's with all the dislikes on the Quantum Break QL?

Exactly what you suspect it is. The butthurt over Jeff's review has yet to heal.

Give it a couple of weeks.

I'm a huge Remedy fan but I can't imagine wanting to die on the Quantum Break hill, especially because it never looked all that great to begin with. I guess that's what you get when you mix in platform partisanship. Seems like one of those cases where 2 years from now the consensus will be "yeah it wasn't that good, Jeff was kind of right", much like Twilight Princess.

Wow watching GBeast crew playing Max's levels and I'm enjoying this way more than watching Dan make his crazy difficult levels
