Enjoy mate!
Speaking of which you got me tempted to grab Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi from Play asia.
Gonna order it later alongside Ryu ga Gotoku 6 by November XP.

A couple of years ago I replayed all Bioshock games and their dlc back to back.
I love those games and wanted to re-experience the whole package from start to finish since it had been a long time since Bio 1&2.
It's an amazing experience and Rapture in particular is imo one of the most fascinating, immersing and well thought out places in any type of fiction, but that was my last visit, at least in the foreseeable future.

I love revisiting my favorite games through remasters when the upgrade is significant and especially when they fix technical issues of the original version (more recently the Gravity Rush remaster was absolutely mindblowing for example) but I don't think this is an upgrade that warrants going back to these games for anyone who played them recently, at least on PC, the difference should be significant for people who only got the last gen console experience though, Bio1 in particular was an atrocity on PS3.

Co-op would be good yeah. Think of Musou games as beat'em-ups and you and friends can just go around beating up enemies and completing objectives to level up your characters etc.

Far as Yakuza series go, Yakuza 0 is releasing on PS4 this January and is a good starting point. I mean it lets you play frikkin' Outrun for one thing!

Welp. Valve is gonna love getting my tech difficulty e-mail in the morning. Just published the Halloween DLC's Coming Soon page, but forgot to set the price. So now it's currently free.

Excuse me for the ignorant question but what are the advantages of these remastered versions of Bioshock ? I'm not really interested as I'm still to play vanilla Bioshock 2 but the few times I read about these remasters the PC versions weren't detailed. On console the 1080/60 point is obvious, but what about PC ?

OP Musou 3 is good, I enjoyed my time with it.
Other Musous I enjoyed from KOEI Tecmo are
Samurai Warriors 4-2 (You're not missing anything by not playing 4 so go in it and hopefully you enjoy it)
Gundam Musou 3 (I played this on PS3 and I Platinumed it. Higher difficulties offer quite a challenge)
Dragon Quest Heroes 1 (This USES the Musou formula but adds in other objectives such as defending certain areas etc. It's good from a gameplay stand point)

That game is gonna be so good.

You are making item DLC for AoT?
From what I recall, items in your game are just a tiny bit of flavour text with an associated buff. How much would you be charging for that?

It doesn't matter in the interim as FoD subs can't be registered to accounts when the app is unreleased.

This looks like a game that you might play on Newgrounds for a while cause you're bored, maybe even give it 3 stars for being playable...but to charge 5 bucks for it is pretty audacious.

There's a VR game where you beat Trump with a stick on Steam, can't remember the name of it! This is like Witcher 3 in comparison to that.

Because of bad reviews? That aren't counted into the overall score anymore?
Click to expand...

After a cursory look at the documents they filled, it's more about comments on their business model or those trying to hurt their business, encouraging people not to greenlight their games etc... rather than bad reviews. Hell, if they went after everyone that gave them a bad review they'd tie up the legal system for the next 50 years.

I don't know a whole lot about the American legal system, but there must be some sort of fair comment provision that allows people to review their games without fear of legal action. Actively trying to destroy their "business model" or company is probably quite different.

Is Far Harbor, Nuka World and Automatron the only story based DLCs?

There are a few story quests in Vault-Tec Workshop too

Jawmuncher said:
You didn't have to play one whole persons campaign and go to the next. The canon order is like

Leon 1-2
Jake 1-2
Chris 1-2.
Then just following them all down the line and saving Ada for last.

As for the lore, I mean the series at the time was 16 years old. So of course it was gonna have some lore going. I agree the story isn't particularly strong, but I disagree it's hard to understand.

Chris wants to avenge his team he lost thinking Ada is to blame
Leon wants to find out why simmons is bad and what's going on with Ada.
Jake just wants a pay check, and ends up being part of something bigger.
Ada wants to clear her name.

But like I said the story is a weak point. It still has some cool points. The best parts of the game are when the gameplay shines through. The campaign has some nice set ups, and mercs is a fun time.

-----

As said above had capcom kept the gameplay but had a singular character with a more focused campaign. The series would be at a very different point right now.

Yeah I understand it will be a bit bloated lore wise given how old and established it may be, but it never felt this bad before; not in RE5 or Rev 2 for example.
It feels like there was a spin off I didn't play/watch before this, or maybe it's hidden in bloody collectibles somewhere.

The plot isn't hard to follow no, it's good guys vs bad guys, shoot all the monsters at the end of the day.
But it's hard to appreciate any finer details, no time is given for development.
We have no idea who Simmons is really, where his love for Ada even came from, who The Family (not the resi 7 one) or Neo Umbrella are, why Simmons wanted to cause a global bioterror attack.

Again, it's resi I really shouldn't care, but even by resi standards it's piss poor.

For some reason everyone loved the free remasters of the games, but only one in my friend list have played and only for 30 minutes.

How come?

Could also be that they released at a pretty bad time for students. Not enough hours in the day for me to install and play them just yet.
