Video Games...Discuss Them

Man, I need to get back to RDR2. I just wish I wasn't ready for bed by the time the PS4 frees up.

You're talking to people who may or may not have put ~700 hours into Diablo III. There is no shame in the Video Game thread.

(Just look at Scar. He's playing X-Com on Veteran. )

I knocked out several trophies, including IronMan, on Commader.... Veteran is relaxation time.

So they just pushed Cyberpunk back by another three weeks, to December 10th...

[Morris Schæffer]

Yup just read it.

Wait, you play DIII? on PC? I'm playing Neco right now.

[Scar]

You know, I was tempted to fire up Diablo again and try something new.

Warzone, and playing as a Zombie, is pretty fun.

[megladon8]

I have friends who have logged 10,000+ hours in games like WoW and Starcraft.

I think you're fine, amberlita

On Switch.

We've talked about it a few times ...? In fact, you're the one who told me not to worry when I felt lame racking up so many hours in DIII.

Sorry there was a "still" missing from my post. And I did forget about your switch.

Heh. Ok ok ok ok OKAY.

It's over 300 hours, but that's just this playthrough. I'm sure with my prior two I'm north of 500 hours.

Thanks, guys. Your reassurances did genuinely make me feel less embarrassed about it, so kudos. I'm trying to chalk it up to a moral victory. Sometimes I wonder if my tenacious days are behind me, but I'm glad I retain the ability to commit myself to a completely arbitrary and superfluous task and still see it through, as long as I'm loving what I'm doing.

Yep, this is Uncharted in space allright. Still, graphics are fantastic, the star wars license seems to kickass. I chose the highest difficult level.

This looks like it's gonna be craploads of fun.

Some more thoughts. Still having a lot of fun. It's a bit glitchy at times, but no dealbreaker. Combat remains a good challenge, there are lots of save spots and some portions recall bits from the Mario games with elaborate rotating constructions that can be manipulated with force powers so that the jumps can be timed just right.

Parrying is a challenge when you're surrounded by multiple stormtroopers.

Love how the lightsabers swoosh and slice through the air in Dolby Digital 5.1.

Halo Infinite's project director has quit after more delays announced.

Several more Series X titles that were supposed to come out for launch have been delayed.

No one can get their hands on a Series X or PS5.

Has there ever been a worse console gen launch?

[Morris Schæffer]

I will also say there are 2 or 3 times that the difficulty spikes hugely, one of them being the final boss. Felt like Genichiro all over again.

I think I just encountered my first one. On a platform on Kashyyk with protocol droid, two flamethrower troopers, then come more troopers (6) and then finally an AT-ST.

I've been waiting since March for DUSK to come to Switch. Release date was set for Oct 30.

Oct 31. Nothing.

Video game industry really shitting the bed this year, eh?

Dev announced that it had been delayed, the day after its release date.

Top notch.

Ah, well that explains it then!

[Morris Schæffer]

Ha! I nabbed the double-bladed light saber on Bogano in Jedi Fallen Order. That was a pretty awesome moment. Going through some old locations now, but with new powers. Some solid goodies to be found.

[megladon8]

Hahahaha.

Oh my god. Eat a bag of dicks.

Let me know when there's a 40% price drop, minimum.

Re-downloaded Sekiro. I made it pretty dang far a while back, but the game felt longer than expected and I eventually fell off before beating it. But the game kept calling to me. Anyway, this time I'm doing it right, as if I'm going to get the platinum. Every boss, mini-boss, important item, etc. And I think I can say things are going very well so far. Most bosses go down in one or two tries, and I'm having a fantastic time exploring (this playthrough has cemented the level design and world-building of Sekiro to be on par with Bloodborne and the first Dark Souls). Biggest hurdle so far was definitely Genichiro, though the Ashina Elite mini-boss just before him gave me a lot of trouble as well. Closing in now on Guardian Ape and Corrupted Monk, which is about as far as I got the first time. I'll soon see how this game scales into late game--I hear it's stupid hard, but my resolve is high at the moment.

Good luck stalker

This Boss battle made me scream for momma about 20 times, but got better each time and finally did it. What a sensational battle, unhealthy too. My ticker was going nuts.

The final boss makes this one look like a game for toddlers.

I'd probably get 75% through her, and then roll into an area where a tree is blocking my view, and despite moving around, the tree stays there, and then I die.
