    @Tamin's DS2 updates remind me that I really need to finish the DLC of 2.

    But god, Sinh The Slumbering Dragon can eat my entire ass.

    It's nice that a star wars game will be made by literally anyone other than EA, but giving it to Ubi "Yves Guillemot covered for sexual abusers" soft isn't much of an improvement.

    I'd been saying for years that I wanted Ubi to make an open world Star Wars, so of course, now that I decided I'd rather see anyone else try it, it gets greenlit.

    That Hogwarts game looks cool enough that if it was LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE I would be all in

    But man, fuck Harry Potter and double fuck JK Rowling

    Make Generic Wizard School: The Game, and make sure Rowling doesn't see a fucking penny and I'll buy it day one

    Also I guess maybe try to scrub all the casual racism and anti-semitism of HP off first?

    Dark Souls 2, invasion note

    I suppose that Dark Spirit pablo [sic] is not an NPC invader, because a) the name and b) they did not appear near and bee-line for me the way the others do

    I am not very sporting. I remembered to pop a Giant Tree's Seed, and basically waited for them to find me. When they first came by, I was at the bottom of a staircase and they didn't see me. So I gave it a couple of beats, then followed them up a ladder. I hid in the room and waited for them to circle back around; when they did, I got the drop on them.

    In a video on Twitter and a Q&A posted on the company’s website, CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin IwiƄski apologized for the state Cyberpunk 2077 launched in on consoles, shared a road map for updates to the game coming in the future, and said the studio would deliver these fixes “without any obligatory overtime.”
    “without any obligatory overtime.”
    obligatory overtime
    So a completely pointless promise because "it isn't obligatory" is something everybody knows is BS

    Edit:
    In trying to explain the gap in quality between the PC and console versions, IwiƄski cites issues with trying to scale the game down to meet the restrictions of the older hardware. “We made it even more difficult for ourselves by first wanting to make the game look epic on PCs and then adjusting it to consoles—especially old-gens,” IwiƄski says. “That was our core assumption. And things did not look super difficult at first, while we knew the hardware gap, ultimately, time has proven that we’ve underestimated the task.”
    This is a lot of words to say "management sucked and failed horribly"

    I'll be honest, if the Ubisoft Star Wars game is just The Division but Star Wars, I'd be okay with that

    I think the gameplay of The Division is a lot of fun, it's literally every single thing about its presentation that is reprehensible to me

    What's wrong with it? I'll be honest and say I picked up both games in a sale to add to my backlog. I haven;t really delved that much into the actual lore so what I'm asking is "oh fuck what have i bought?"

    I played first on the original Gameboy. I wasn't honestly very good back then either. but I don't remember having trouble playing on easy or whatever. I am on the second to last set of levels. but they are kicking my ass.

    The Division is about a secret police force accountable to no one that uses force to essentially carry out executions at will. Enemy groups include, construction workers “looters” that are mostly minorities and occasionally PMCs working for cartoonishly evil bad cops.

    The opening of division 2 outright says the people who survived the collapse of society are those who had owned guns

    But it’s not political.


    They’re fun games, with some interesting gameplay ideas and I honestly find the worlds they create suitable haunting. They nail the I Am Legend vibe really well. How much you’ll enjoy them depends on how much you can tune out to he implied message of it.

    Well it’s about a secret sect of deep state operatives living as civilians who are only activated when all else fails, that’s The Division, and they’re activated because someone did a biowarfare attack by spreading a super virus on money during Black Friday, which caused the entire United States to collapse as a society and New York and Washington DC specifically

    You play a random US citizen with a gun and like, a weird computer bracelet that signifies you’re a division agent, and you go around the pandemic-ridden ruins of the city, shooting guys and looting them (at low levels they wear hoodies and are tagged as “Looters”) and you’re essentially tasked with bringing order back to chaos, and in the sequel’s case, ousting a false regime that has occupied the seat of American government

    It was gross when it came out and the sequel was worse, the whole thing has aged like bad milk. I don’t think there’s any way to salvage the concept, as its core premises are so fundamentally fucked

    Whether or not all that bothers you enough to avoid playing it is your call, I was able to play through the first one myself but that was, uh, like 2018, so about a thousand years ago in terms of my personal experience. Game’s fun! Feels like a more modern version of Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer, if you ever played that. It’s just tethered to... the rest of it

    Ya some later levels get rough with speed jumps. One tip, the jump always happens at the same amount of lines so on a retry can try and set the board up a bit friendlier before it hits.

    Some drop the speed back down after a few lines too

    Any suggestions for a simple, calming game I can play to de-stress?

    I don't get a lot of time to play games but I'm mainly focussing on Warhammer Total war 2 but the sometimes makes me even more angry/stressed.

    I really could do with some light and simple that I can play for an hour.

    Any genre really, maybe some sort of first person exploration type game?

    Edit - just saw Brolo's post above mine, will definitely look at that!
