i know that the "hook" for NFS is cops vs robbers but i have no idea what that actually means
I don’t think they know either
People like car chases. That’s it that’s all they’ve got figured out
Most of the time they fuck it up by making it ultra scripted or story heavy or not balancing out the abilities or not giving you interesting locations to have the car chases in or whatever
Call of Duty or Far Cry or somebody should pivot into weird shit, like the gameplay as it is but Im fighting Fingoolian sneesnarks on a bright purple sand dune in space as a winged beeperson, let your artists go fucking apeshit batter down the doors of their horridly realistic sweaty grimy beardy cells
This was Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 1 ( 2 was a trash fire) , but Garden Warfare 1, is both the most colorful shooter I've ever played, super fun, wacky as heck ( you could be a chomper, no gun, just run around and eat anyone dumb enough to get close).
And also, maybe the most balanced FPS I've ever played? ever single class was viable, there were a couple stand outs, but no class combo was really "weak" in any area, while still being a crazy diverse range of classes/abilities.
It makes it that much sadder than 2 both killed 1's population, then was a unbalanced particle effect loaded nightmare that stopped everyone playing 2 as well.
edit: I reiterate with the colorful comment that yes I've played Splatoon, was more colorful than splatoon, so crisp and bright, I miss it.

It's crazy how much this feels like Inquisition. It's like the DAI team made a Mass Effect tribute game. Right down to the overwhelming amount of stuff to do so I don't really know what I should be doing. It looks like Inquisition as well, just with Mass Effect props and aliens. It's so bizarre.
I've got the hang of combat now, not just dying constantly. Jumping and dodging is fun.
Another weird thing is how young all the humans look. Like my entire crew seem to be people in their late 20s, with the exception I guess of the krogan. I feel like we're the crew from Buffy in space.
Any more tips on stuff to focus on in this world of excess? How should I use my points when I level up? I have 15 to use at the moment because I don't know if I should be focusing them or spreading them out. It's weird having every skill available.
No idea how mining works. I launched a probe when I was in the Nomad but how do I make it so anything? Also not sure how research and crafting works.
Overall I think I like it. It really helped once I stopped expecting a Mass Effect game and started viewing it as Dragon Age Inquisition but in the ME world. Which is fine by me because I much prefer the ME world over Thedas so maybe I'll actually finish this where I never managed to complete Inquisition.
I'd start by boosting all the passives, then go after whatever skills in the trees you had in the OT that corresponded to that class. Well, assuming you're playing the same class, I guess.
Probes only really work if you can find a spot on the ground that's got a lot of any specific material. So you need to drive around with the mineral scanner going and drop one when you see the needle jump. Or maybe there's a audio cue.
You use Ryder's personal scanner to grab points on the worlds they traverse, which enable you to research recipes on the Tempest. The recipes then are used to craft stuff using the aforementioned minerals, or biological material, or whatever.
Karl the Shadowrun Dragon fall Decker's first (and only) diary entry.
Because I finished the game
Well, that was a fucking ordeal. Here's the CliffsNotes
I joined a team in Berlin
Our milk run shadowrun goes sideways and our leader/decker dies
We have to flee from a chaingun carrying Orc
I take over and our weapon specialist will not stop giving me shit.
We go after our client, thinking he set us up.
He's dead too
It turns out that we stumbled upon a conspiracy being run by a genocidal dragon everyone thought was dead
Our client was looking for his brother, Adrian, the person who defeated the dragon last time.
I had to raise 50k in cash just to fund someone to find information on said dragon.
That milestone is capped by a mercenary kill team breaking into our hideout and killing my friend and handler Paul.
The thing that killed my team's previous leader? A fucking AI
So I end up setting the AI free because yolo
And it turns out Adrian is alive, and is planning to use the body of said genocidal dragon to release a dragon plague. Via mass fire breathing arson.
He doesn't like dragons it turns out
*insert copious amounts of violence here, where I swear at my screen because Glory missed a 99% shot 3 times*
We stop Adrian the fuckwit, I release the dragon as she wants to go back to sleep and I tell the AI i freed to go fuck itself. Of course I'm not giving you the body of a dragon to take over.
And I accepted a job working for another dragon. Got bills to pay.
In short, I really enjoyed Dragofall, but I found it a lot harder than Returns. Maybe because I ran a Decker instead of a Street Samurai?
I'm going to take a break before playing Shadowrun HK. I was thinking of getting the new CoD but its 60 quid.
60. You having a fucking laugh?
I do have game pass so may get Outer Worlds instead.

I did drop the probe when SAM told me to, but it just floats there, I dunno how to tell it to dig or whatever.

Yeah, you drop the probe, you immediately get the resources, done. Confused me a lot at first too.
I think the ME:A app is still working, too. It’s the same as accessing the Strike Teams or whatever they’re called in game from the terminal on the ship, but you can do it from your phones. Send teams on missions, wait for them to be done, collect rewards.

I figured it out. I needed to drive around and wait for the graph to show a mineral before dropping the drone. Which seems obvious now but SAM said "hey there's minerals here" so I just believed it.
I just had my first crash. Game froze during a cutscene and I had to reboot my PC to get it to play again. Hopefully that doesn't become a habit.

I wonder what that will do for their pc sales overall
I've got to imagine having the vastly larger sales audience will make up for whatever cut they were giving to Valve, I'm guessing at this point they're getting better than the ~30% cut Valve does with smaller partners
God damn, Skyrim will not let go of me. Around the 100-hour mark, I discovered homesteading and the value of having non-respawning chests with infinite storage next to a forge. I've since been obsessed with the crafting skills and trying to forge the strongest possible daedric armours and dragonbone weapons. Now, at about the 150-hour mark, at best a third of the way through most major questlines and not having touched either Dawnguard or Dragonborn, I've started spending more time researching mods than actually playing the game. So far I'd been running with a relatively basic setup of SkyUI, SMIM, the unofficial patch, a weather mod, etc. Mostly quality of life stuff. I'm now looking into perk mods, follower mods, needs mods, survival mods, and whatever the fuck else. I'm downloading spell mods and I don't even play a mage!

yeah I came back for Skyrim VR with a whole bunch of immersion mods
it's still a really fun experience and I've yet to play anything else in VR that has this sense of scale and scope
got to a part halfway through the story where you're traveling with some members of the Blades, your companion and as a mage I had some summons as well, and we got into a huge fight with a group of Forsworn
in the middle of it a pair of dragons showed up, and suddenly people were being snatched up into the sky and you're literally ducking behind boulders and firing arrows from behind cover, and in VR those dragons are HUGE and the mountains are dizzyingly high
it's been my favorite VR experience by quite a margin
How is Skyrim VR these days? Some of the stuff from early on didn't seem like it had been adapted to VR well beyond the basic stuff but I don't think I've seen anything with all the mods and such.
I've started spending more time researching mods than actually playing the game
This is the natural evolution of all Elder Scrolls/Bethesda-Fallout games. It goes:
Play the game unmodded, seems cool => Put some mods in there for quality-of-life or for fun => Oh this game system overhaul looks interesting => You have three incompatible overhauls running on top of each other thanks to some fourth-party compatibility patches => You have hit the limit of how many mods the game will allow and need to resort to workaround => You don't even launch the game anymore, you just research new mods to install, update old mods, and replace mods with new mods that do the thing better.
If you're getting into crafting, I'd recommend one of the crafting overhaul mods (I used "Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade" when I played last, but that was a very long time ago, and there might be better options now). My favorite thing about it was that it let me smelt down finished items back into ingots, so like... you know how many sets of nails and hinges a Hearthfire manor needs? A lot. So I would clear out a bandit camp or draugr ruin or whatever, strip all the bodies to the last iron dagger, smelt them all down to ingots, and then just go ham on crafting iron fittings. Swords to ploughshares, baby.
