There are no previews, just the recent slew of gameplay videos from streamers.

Ah yeah those I mean, are any of them on Youtube by any chance?

Now that the Nier giveaway train has definitely stopped, it is time to get hyped for other upcoming games, with my preferences going to:

Edit: Hmmm... Last post of the page for 50-post-per-page users.

Did a quickie banner for the OT, just need an OT subtitle now, any suggestions?

Styx: Shards of Darkness |OT| The new accountant
Styx: Shards of Darkness |OT| Only thing better than a dead Elf is MORE dead elves

 

[Saty]

|OT| Styx and Stones.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

|OT| so stealthy no one has heard of it

Spoiler

 

[Kudo]

Modern Goblin Warfare.

Hopefully the impressions are better than the first one, I love the setting of Styx but posts that the controls suck kill my intents to play it.

 

[Nillansan]

Styx: Shards of Darkness |OT| Gobliins

Tizoc, as a fellow adventure game enthusiast you should understand what I am referring to here.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So I plan on building a new pc some time this year, is it true it's better to go AMD right now due to NVidia's recent driver updates breaking their hardware?

Im specifically talking about the random ass 5/10 reviews that always pop up for every popular game from some random ass site.

aren't they mostly shitposting especially metacritic user reviews

 

[The Dear Leader]

There has to be a Shards of Darkness - Heart of Darkness pun here somewhere...

Oh I do
Which reminds me I prob. should play that Adventure series already lol.

 

[titch]

So many games so little life.

Dang even if i was elven id struggle to get through the games on steam atm

 

[fantomena]

Fuck me. The Switch is outsold everywhere, both locally and online. And I just want the grey version, which I would assume is the one most people don't want (I love grey/black consoles).

 

[Naked Snake]

Fuck me. The Switch is outsold everywhere, both locally and online. And I just watch the grey version, which I would assume is the one most people don't want (I love grey/balck consoles).

Neon is so much nicer IMO. I got both yesterday (because I wanted to see them in the flesh side by side before I decide, even though I was leaning more towards Neon but had my doubts), and once I saw the Neon colors all doubt instantly faded away. It's not even a contest in my book.

Going to sell the gray. Loving the Switch so far, and still haven't dived into Zelda yet.

Oh and I love black consoles too. Always disliked colored ones and avoided them like the plague, but something is different this time.

 

[Hektor]

I'll only buy a switch once it's available in GameCube purple

 

[Pachimari]

Can't believe that of all the games coming out this month, that Battlegrounds is the only one I'll be buying. And I only just discovered it two days ago.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I'll only buy a switch once it's available in GameCube purple

It'll need a handle, too.

 

[Naked Snake]

Just started Zelda, OMG so purrty!

But wait, subtitles can't be disabled?? How is there no outrage about this?

I understand spoken English, I don't want subtitles ruining my immersion and distracting me from the scenery

 

[kagamin]

Spoiler

I still find it ridiculous that Minfilia's outfit gives you her massive breast size, I set it to the lowest option available for a reason game!

 

[Ban Puncher]

I thought about getting the Neon but I saw the 'red' Joycon in real life at the store and it was the brightest shade of hot pink I have ever seen that my scorched retinas still have not recovered.

 

[M.D]

You buy / access them through the game page in your library, instead of through the store. I think it may have something to do with the fact that DLC from earlier Bioware games (prior to Inquisition) can be only purchased with Bioware points.

Late but thanks!

 

[Naked Snake]

And that's precisely what makes it so awesome

I wouldn't call it pink though, but yes the color is intense and unlike anything I've seen.

*Back to Zelda*

 

[Ruruja]

Hopefully they match the spoken dialogue 1:1 at least, nothing worse than different subtitles to what's being said.

Bought Stormblood directly on Steam. Don't think it'll be any cheaper elsewhere, since everybody else are selling the non-steam version.

[edit]

Fuck, I bought the standard edition lmao. I'm supposed to buy the Collector's Edition. Oh well, I have requested a refund.

It's not like you can buy the Steam versions of FFXIV and expansions outside of Steam anyways! So there you go!

 

[Pachimari]

Yeah, which is exactly why I bought it directly from Steam.

I am gonna buy the non-steam version too though for that Collector's statue but I'll make that purchase later.

 

[InquisitorAles]

Finally finished RE4 for the first time. Well, it was a damn great game, probably one of the best i've ever played. Final boss kinda sucks though (basically

Spoiler

shoot in leg-eye, climb on this thing and see how Leon attack his main eye, repeat 7 times and then shoot with special rocket launcher

, WTF was that?), but still great game. Still need to play extras, not sure if I'll manage to do new playthrough on Professional difficulty before Nier.

 

[Volimar]

Minion Masters is actually kind of fun. Fairly bare boned, short matches. I can see it getting a lot of use from people while they're waiting on ranked MOBA matches to start.

5 and 6 are even better

Well, the only coloured parts are the joycons, if you just take those off and place it in the deck its full black console.

 

[InquisitorAles]

LOL. RE5 is nice game, i played it back then in 2009 and somewhat enjoy it, but RE6, are you serious? This game is abomination, one of the the worst games I've ever played. I'm sorry, but they're both nowhere near RE4 in therms of quality.

I'm saving my Pro run for when the texture mod comes out.

7 is better than 4, 5 and 6 combined.

But you can do this in RE6. It all evens out

7 is better than 4, 5 and 6 combined.

It could've been. But after the 3 dog heads it just started worse and worse

 

[Spring-Loaded]

You can watch an animation play out??

 

[Jawmuncher]

The best animations

The melee kills and counters are so satisfying.
The closest game to come close is doom, and not even that is as satisfying.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

4>7>5>6

This shouldn't be up for debate D:

 

[Mivey]

4>7>5>6

This shouldn't be up for debate D:

Jawmuncher calling it to question, pretty much makes it official.
I would rank REmake above 5, honestly. If the Remake of 2 is of the same quality it would also be above 5 and 6.

 

[Jawmuncher]

4>7>5>6

This shouldn't be up for debate D:

7 is my lowest ranking mainline game (not counting Rev or CVX). It has good ideas, and I'm curious to see what thy do with 8. But there's more issues with than 6 imo. By the end of the game, I just wanted it to end. A big chunk of the issues were story related for me. I didn't mind the change back to roots gameplay wise. I just wanted more from it. Some scares and some puzzles does not equal greatness to me.

5>4>RE1=REmake>3>6>0>2>7

Yeah I have 4 over 6. Since it is technically the better overall experience. But gameplay wise, 6 is more fun. But it's campaign has a lot of chaff in it.

Minfilia confirmed to use pads!

If capcom just brought back Dino Crisis as action I could leave RE alone.
I fully expect REmake 2 to shake things up more than people think. I doubt fixed camera is even going to be there.

 

[Stallion Free]

4>1>5>6>0 so far for me on the REs. Never finished 2/3 and haven't bought 7 yet, but will definitely complete 2 when the remake hits.

 

[Knurek]

So, Switch seems to be hacked already.
Is this the fastest console hack ever? I think even GBA lasted a few weeks...

 

[JaseC]

Ah yeah those I mean, are any of them on Youtube by any chance?

Of course. I watched this one, which covers the first ~hour -- and then some as he has a few more videos, which collectively span the first few missions. I don't care for commentary, but, well, "Beggars can't be choosers" and all that.
