    All I've learned here is that I need to play more Chimera Squad and find those other cool cops to put into my squad instead of the dumb guy that changes places with people.

    @Iolo vs @tacticalheadache
    Iolo had posted some fliers around town because he was looking for a new roommate.
    Tacticalheadache came across one. Which was perfect because he'd just been kicked out of his last place. But found the offer was a questionable arrangement.
    JFAwqS2.jpg
    A devious plan was put into motion, he used the computers at the library to scan the flier, adjust the image with the scissors icon, and reprint it.
    He proudly displayed the flier to Iolo, demanding he honor the arrangement.
    5TxVbEa.jpg
    In a rage Iolo chanted IN BET YLEM and destroyed the one bedroom building with a hail of stones after signing the agreement and taking TH's money.
    ZWVDfxc.jpg
    In the end Iolo moved in with the Bane of Insanity instead. Iolo wins. And that concept is stretched as far as it will go.

    And while Torque is lots of fun, I find that I lean on Verge quite a bit, and he's an easy pick for "last operative through this breach point has his/her weapon disabled." I'm not using his gun hardly ever anyhow.

    I tend to send Torque in last because if there isn't a good target during the breach she can always spit a 100% hit poison shot at someone instead.

    Woof, Amazon's Crucible feels like a total dog to me, but it is free on Steam, so I'm probably just not the intended target - I mean people still play old shooters, so maybe this isn't that bad in comparison?

    I don’t really understand most of what you’re putting out here. What does it being free mean for you? There are plenty of high quality free to play games. Like, many.

    Also not really getting the “old shooter” comparison. This game seems to be targeting a PvPvE niche that there’s ostensibly a market for, given the audience for games like The Hunt: Showdown and Destiny’s Gambit mode; arguably mobas fill this role to an extent as well. Battleborn and Gigantic probably could have done decently well in this space too if they’d been marketed remotely well.

    You're absolutely right. It appears to be more than passable in the free shooter arena (I've only given it about an hour so far, so I admit I'm not being fair). But for the first release from Amazon's "studio," it stinks. imnsho.

    I don't know anything about Crucible, but I've played a fair bit of New World, Amazon's upcoming MMO, and it's pretty damn good. I was especially impressed with how they are super about listening to feedback and have been willing to scrap and/or re-do just about anything in the game if it didn't seem to be working or well-liked. I think they'll do pretty good as a studio eventually.

    I'm holding out hope for New World. I spoke to someone in I guess what would be Alpha a few months ago, and they said the same thing you did (they were listening a lot, made a bunch of iterations/changes, etc...). Still, launching a new MMO as a marquis property has gotta be daunting. I hope for it.

    In retrospect I'm also being unnecessarily mean to Crucible. This could turn out to be amazing or it could turn out to be Anthem - way too early to tell.

    Grabbed Gta 5 on the EGS and have the $10 coupon.

    Trying to decide between Satisfactory and Control.

    Don't know much about Control but it looks and sounds neat.

    I know they are two very different games but..

    I like Verge because of his mind control powers, but also he has an ability that lets you chain kills together, and I've only used it once but it was great to clear out an entire room of mooks with a few HP left each.

    Phantasia may be the game with the weakest Indignation (in that stronger spells exist)? I know it was a top tier spell in Symphonia, and after that quickly got escalated to mystic arte (RIP Indignation Judgement).

    trust me, soon youll be saying ' meh, hydra'. Hades is a different kind of fight. hes much more defensive. i suggest starting to use the shield, focus on upgrades that add to your dodge, and shield throw damage and play keepaway while pinging him with the shield.

    Yeah, that didn't work out so well.

    It's still a bad game.

    So I just finished up Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! (again). This is easily the best and most polished early access game I've ever played. And I didn't care for the restaurant customization in the first 2 games, but I love hanging up postcards and arranging models of my rivals in my food truck. If you enjoyed either of the first 2 games then give 3 a shot. It blows it out of the water.

    edit: Finally got it to go through by deleting 4 MORE games, installed to a separate hard drive than the one TW2 is installed on that had the 100g of free space. Because yeah, that makes sense.
