Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Minor Veilguard spoilers.

Started the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. Nice that the voice choice is used more than just grunts and moans

@phoenixacezero
I…what…excuse me? I genuinely think you replied to the wrong post.

edit: I don’t know how any of that relates to Dead Space Remake.

Oh, that’s a good line.

ima steal that

@tehwatever
Well both Dead Space and Silent Hills have cosmic entities that can ruin your day

@Mr. Fettuccine
thank you

So in SOTC, did the Colossi eventually figure out that Wander was hunting them all down one by one?

I mean, one might think that they’re each indifferent to what’s going on to their other 15 brethren, (with the exception of Malus who probably knew Dormin was using Wander), but I wouldn’t be so sure about that…

These guys definitely caught on that the smooth skin wasn’t there to sell cookies:

As with most things in the game, we don’t know.

I also doubt any of the aggressive Colossi knew what were going on, they were just territorial beasts who attacked whatever entered their domain.

Waifu quest completed in Elden Ring. Astel went down like a bitch

My wife asked me to explain the plot of Elden ring and my exact words were.

“I’ve teamed up with a loli snow witch and her dog to eventually kill her dadmom, after she killed her step brother, and her other step brother is a forever twink who wants to take over the world with a plan that involves fucking her real brother who was brought back to life by necromancy.”

She didn’t know how to respond.

Spoilers for Veilguard is naturally making their rounds.

And from the sounds of it the game is explaining…quite a lot about the series’ overarching questions.

Nearing the end of Kingmaker. Just finished buying my throne back for a goblin with a magic wand.

Maybe if I replay NITW now I can join in on the NITW replay tradition around Halloween

Kicking around buying Dead Rising 2. The original, not the pointless remake.

I’ve been curious about 3 and 4 but apparently those ones suck?

@Dustcan
I played 3 before. I thought that game was pretty fun

Though everyone feels like 4 is a massive downgrade to the other 3 games

Didn’t 3 remove the escort mission aspect to survivors?

Like, that always sucked but it was still a part of its identity. And I liked seeing the safe house grow from my efforts. Also did 3 remove psychopaths for more generic bosses? Or was that just 4.

@Dustcan
4.

@Dustcan
Not sure about the survivors but i do remember you could recruit the survivors you did save to help assist you after you helped them

As 3 does still have the Psychopath boss battles, it’s 4 that removed the Psychopaths and replaced them with more generic bosses

@Dustcan
Um, ACKCHYUALLY, you misspelled title for the third game.

It’s called Super Ultra Dead Rising 3’ Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha.

Sheesh… some people.

That sounds kinda cool.

So yeah I’ll probably grab it next sale. Only got enough for one more cheap purchase.

I have brought great shame to my ancestors.

@Dustcan
I sentence you to play Dead Rising for the Wii for literally no reason.

Playing some Tormented Souls.

It’s a decent throwback to classic RE but holy shit is the combat god awful.

Melee’s not only useless but enemy attack frames don’t match up. Dodging is pointless, and even the most basic enemy has a ranged attack.

And this is coming from a guy who’s a longtime RE veteran. Beat Nemesis with a knife. Styled all over him for over 100 knife slashes, so I’m very familiar with tank controls.

Dying Light 2 poses an interesting point:

Why wouldn’t the remaining military start using Crossbows, Compound Bows, and even other quieter but still ranged alternatives to firearms when the infected outnumbered them a hundred thousand to one?

Or at least have them on hand when ammo for all traditional guns ran dry?

But hey, it’s an unwritten rule of Zombie Stories to have entire standing armies be as totally brain dead as the Walking Dead themselves.

@CaptainXtra
Bullet Witch solved this by having the planet wrecked by natural disasters plague and the “zombies” being human level intelligent with giant demons leading them and the advantage that as long as the gateway to hell stayed open they could come back,
