It's a shame Dead Space 4 might not be made or might suck? I imagine
the only way to stop the Moons would involve figuring out their markers and how they're providing infinite energy, which seems to be how they survive aside from harvesting species.
It's pretty much horror Mass Effect.
Yeah never going to be made is my assumption. Its ok I enjoyed the 3 they made.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
elki on the eve of Mass Effect's takeover I jumped on GR WILDLANDS last night and tried a bunch of guns I hadn't used yet like the little bitty Russian S3RM rifle that's smg compact sized and the 556xi (which I liked much more than expected).
I flew a drug plane over to Libertidad region which is 5 skull difficulty but had no issues parachuting in, landing on a rooftop, and pilfering the AK-47 from a chest. Built it out a little with a red dot scope and so on -- not a bad platform at all although I might like the 556xi more.
I am going to go scrounge up more parts like an extended magazine and one of the front rail mounted night vision lasers. Maybe go steal the Mk. 17 rifle and the M4a1 tac and compare them built out to the 556xi ... hmm.
I still like the P90 best as a close range option so a longer range / long barreled rifle seems logical.
Having said that, the AK 47 was plenty flexible at all ranges to approach and then sweep through a base quietly.
Also you were right about that pistol. That thing is the way and the light.
Are you playing this solo or with others? This game looks super cool but I'm holding off since unless there are people who want to bro down right now, it seems like a wait for a sale game.
I am playing both alone and with others in xbone.
I skipped most of the far cry, just cause, assassins creed etc franchises but this one appeals to me so it depends on what you are looking for.
I like pointlessly fiddling with my character's cosmetic clothes and the guns really are kind of like a car game -- there are more than you will ever need so it's just about finding ones you like, seeing how they handle in a bite sized mission, modifying, and repeating.
I think the gun handling a real pleasure in this game -- it's not terribly exaggerated or goofy but one well-placed shot will kill someone. The sense of lobbing projectiles and needing to account for distance is really present in the open world environment.
Vehicles are merely okay but dirt biking at top speed with other human players is a blast.
You don't have to do every single side quest or mission or anything, just killing each lieutenant per region.
this game totally flew under my radar but it does sound kind of amazing?
like open world rainbow six you can play with bros?
will probably get in on ps4 when it goes on sale.
Yes. Like I said it depends on what you like in games, but I like taking over maps one bite at a time and parachuting in behind enemy lines at night with thermal vision etc.
having people staying back and sniping while someone else creeps into a base to plant the explosives and someone else is flying their drone overhead to pick out enemies so they'll appear on your HUD is all solid.
This is very very much what I want. Almost exactly.
In that case, I endorse the 556xi with a humble red dot sight as a great middle ground between AR and AK shooting characteristics.

The first game came out in 2008. I'd believe a Dead Space reboot would come out before Dead Space 4.
I think the biggest crime in playing Battlefield Hardline was how samey the guns felt, and like once I unlocked an early AR nothing else stacked up.
Well the other thing was you got a ton of battleplacks in Hardline for playing the story compared to Battlefield 1 that is like "fuck you buy them with money." Sad to see they regressed.

The YouTube vid I just watched was preceded by an advert for Yu-Gi-Oh featuring attractive people playing the card game outdoors in the sunlight. The disconnect from reality was physically jarring.
there's a movie based on one of Jack Chick's tracts about how roleplayers are the coolest kids in school and they're basically hot 30 year olds who are in highschool and D&D gives you actual magical powers from satan and you hold parties with attractive people wearing leather
it's unintentionally a comedy
To be fair, to the target audience of those Chick tracts, pretty much everyone else is more popular or cool than the reader.
The target audience actually believes this shit, when I was little my grandma told me not to use any magical powers I see in video games or movies because they come from satan
they believe magical powers exist, but christians are immune to them
I have decided that many of Microsoft's products and install processes are actual war crimes
Oh is that fresh Win 7 install done already? Great, this machine will be back up and running in no ti-Installing update 14 of 472.
Why Microsoft doesn't do sub-service pack level releases that act as aggregators of all that shit is beyond me.
Windows 10.1.0, 10.1.2, 10.1.3, etc.
not that I have a preference for systems like this or anything... but outside of corporate AD bullshit where they need to control the rollout of each patch, there is absolutely no reason for the way they do it now, and no reason that the consumers need to suffer through it. Period.

I mean, they should let you say how active you want to be with your patches.
1) corporate: get patch tuesday'd every tuesday. Control everything you install.
2) home: zero day security patches install automatically, otherwise all patches roll into omnibus patch packages whenever there is enough stuff to justify a release. These patches will count as dozens if not hundreds of individual patches, and there will be two versions; a "diff" version that handles the patches on an otherwise fully up to date system, and a "full fat" version that can take any version of the OS from 10.0 onward and update it to the latest.

The best moment in Just Cause 3 is, if instead of blowing up a propaganda broadcast van you hijack it, Rico switches from the propaganda channel to thumping techno, and the enemies go full-on assault trying to stop you from driving around.

You get skins and like exp boosts randomly while playing. Like literally the end of a match they just award people a pack. There is no other way to get skins outside of spending money.

You earn "war bonds" for every multiplayer round you play. You have to spend those to unlock new guns, scopes, equipment etc. Most of that equipment is gated behind your class rank, stuff unlocks at level 2, level 3, and then not again until level 10. So even if you have the money for stuff, you still have to unlock it. And grinding class rank takes a ridiculous amount of time.

Spaceballs is great, I will fite anyone that disagrees.
Seriously though, that movie is hella snappy. A constant barrage of jokes, some of them corny (Pizza the Hutt, Druish Princess, Mr. Radar), some of them legendary (This is Now Now, Comb the Desert, Spaceballs Merchandise everywhere). It's a damn good movie.
Easily the worst thing about living on the East Coast is that when things release at midnight eastern, it's in my time zone. If I lived in CA still I could play ME at 9pm and instead I will not be able to play it really at all tonight because I have to work early in the morning.

In addition, any points you earn while in a vehicle don't count to your soldier class rank either, the only count to your vehicle class. So unlike BF3/4 where if you took a point in a tank, that went towards your soldier class, now it only goes towards your vehicle class.

You can generally understand both scales pretty well, and since game critics aren't generally also acting as movie critics it doesn't matter that the scales are incongruent.
Further, gaming also tends to put out far more ireedeemable crap than movies, justifying the inflation of acceptable games. If movie theaters frequently showed movies that sometimes lost audio or contained five minute shots of the camera operator's feet, it'd be more justified to consider "it is coherently a movie" as worthy of an above 60% score. Plus, the quantization of high scores allows room to distinguish a 10/10 from a 9.5/10 in a way that you can't with 3 versus 4 stars.
eh plenty of films released are on that level of terrible, though yeah buggy shit in an AA game is bizarre.
I think the scales are fine, I think that the greater investment and the more diverse preferences of gamers due to diversity in play create a different perception. Plopping down 60 bucks makes for angry folk when a game is not to their liking, and perhaps we just need to adopt a rule that says "subtract 25% of the score if you're not a fan of the genre".
like, lots of reviewers act on the Ebert principle of judging based on what the game sets out to do, but aggregate sites can't deal with nuance like that. Do you subtract points for including a limited inventory even though fans of the series like that shit? Can you accurately reflect how good a new Zelda game is relative to all other games, even though people hate it or love it, or can you only do it relative to other zelda games? (eg, a 70% zelda game is still an instant buy for fans, even though it probably should be avoided if you're neutral to the series)
films are easier because they provide a less diverse experience (shorter and always passive), and because people are already more sure of what genres they like or hate.

Comedy is one of the most subjective genres to be sure, and movie critics in particular tend to err towards "viciously humorless".
As such comedy movies usually don't get a fair shake from reviewers in general, and are typically not to be trusted on such matters.
Paint Your Wagon for example was harangued mercilessly by critics, even though the audience at large loved it.

Mel Brooks films are some father-in-law shit
You earn "war bonds" for every multiplayer round you play. You have to spend those to unlock new guns, scopes, equipment etc. Most of that equipment is gated behind your class rank, stuff unlocks at level 2, level 3, and then not again until level 10. So even if you have the money for stuff, you still have to unlock it. And grinding class rank takes a ridiculous amount of time.
In the end, with DVD sales and such. Spaceballs is apparently one if his most financially successful. Went cult classic after the fact.
Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles are especially amazing.
But I still love Spaceballs more. Cause it was more my bag ya'know. I saw it in the theater as a kid.
Seriously though, that movie is hella snappy. A constant barrage of jokes, some of them corny (Pizza the Hutt, Druish Princess, Mr. Radar), some of them legendary (This is Now Now, Comb the Desert, Spaceballs Merchandise everywhere). It's a damn good movie.
