    Pretty much a summary of Dodger's Observation playthrough so far:

    Started Conan: Unconquered and it just throws you in the fire with barely any explanation how anything works. Luckily the game has a pause mode and things are pretty straightforward but it's shocking to play a game with no early hand-holding to get you going.

    I was kind of figuring Death Stranding was closer than people expected, especially when they were talking about it being a PS5 game or whatever

    So I'm not particularly surprised it's hitting late this year

    I have some pretty serious doubts that this Avengers game will be worth the many years it’s been in development

    It was announced in 2017 but development reportedly didn't get underway until late that year/early 2018

    So it just FEELS like it's been around forever.

    I could have sworn it missed 2 E3's, but I guess not.

    Apparently Borderlands 3 just keeps finding new rakes to step on, as Gearbox has rehired Chris Hardwick to reprise his role from Tales from the Borderlands, while Troy Baker was left in the dust and recast without notice for Rhys.

    Good work, dipshits

    Isn’t Chris Hardwick a noted piece of shit

    Or is that a different Chris

    Ugh, I think that’s the tipping point for me. I liked Borderlands but I’m not so attached that I feel the need to support them.

    Borderlands 3 is like a fucking magnet for bad news at this point. That said, it'll probably still sell gangbusters, so I feel like none of this will matter in the long run. :(

    That sounds amazing, I'm going to have to look into this. I'm also just a huge Conan fan in general so

    It looks like the same sort of game as They Are Billions

    Never heard of it, but the reviews for Conan are disappointing. That's sad, because the premise is interesting. Maybe I'll wait and see if they can patch out some of it's issues

    Things I've learned from playing Conan: Unconquered:
    1. Gotta go fast.
    2. Fire is bad.
    3. There are flying things your ground troops can't hit (need ranged).
    4. Fire is really bad.
    5. Everything is bad and wants to kill you.
    6. GOD DAMMIT EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE.

    I always love using this analogy:

    Although I'm surprised to see it was originally made in reference to Mass Effect, which I felt like was a very intuitive experience, especially compared to like, CKII.

    I would like to add WTF SPIDERS EVERYWHERE to that list.

    Also, GassyMexican and Crream on Twitch are going to co-op it later tonight. Should be comedy. Probably around 6-7 pm PDT.

    I just spent most of the day playing through Observation and I gotta say that was a hell of a game. If you watched the quick look and were interested I’d say it’s totally worth the 12.50 epic is charging for it right now.

    Cultist Simulator's "expandalone" (seriously people stop inventing words) Book of Hours has been announced. Gameplay is supposed to be similar to CS, with the same verb / card interaction system.

    It's set in a library, and the idea seems to be that people come in and you give them books or other cards to learn about them. Apparently you can still die by opening cursed books, and honestly if I wasn't already sold, cursed books kinda does it.

    based on absolutely nothing, I suspect we're at least six months - maybe a year - away from even a pre-order phase. Oh, I finished the ign* article and it says there will be a kickstarter later this year. So my confidence in that prediction just went up a fair bit.

    * hilariously, for whatever reason, the ign tab is labeled "An unexpected error has occurred"

    I feel like I really liked the first and second games for a period of time, but the more I played them the more I started to bounce off them. The only one I feel I have too much affection for is the Presequel, which is considered the "bad one" by a lot of people.

    I will probably get 3 to play with friends, but I'm feeling kind of wishy-washy about it. Randy Pitchford and Gearbox frequently tripping on their own dicks every few days like clockwork isn't helping.

    Am I crazy or is there no spot on the EGS where it says when a game is being released?

    I'm torn about pausing the humble bundle sub now because a ton of people have paused theirs because the game is CoD4.

    I'm wondering if they'll want to sweeten the pot more or if adding zombies was them sweetening it already.

    A lot of the games Epic have bribed signed exclusive deals with don't have official release dates yet.

    My playtimes for Borderlands 1, 2, and the Pre-Sequel are 88, 64, and 23 hours respectively. I feel like that's pretty indicative.

    Void Bastards is...solid but I think I'm already done with nightly play after one night. I guess that's the curse of a run based game.

    Sounds like the game should be called Bruce: Unconquered

    I didn't really end up like either of the first two Divinity OS games, but somehow am still excited for a third.
