    They're's literally a remake in production! It's remembered enough that the money grubbing suits at EA authorized the original devs to remaster it!

    I'll never forgive them for C&C4. C&C3 was actually really good, and then we got that mess.

    Yesterday I saw that, just like everything else in existence, Gog had a sale going on and bought some games from my childhood. Jazz JackRabbit 1 and 2 and Rayman 1 and 3 (already have 2 on Steam).

    I think Jazz Jackrabbit might be a bad game. The visible area is tiny and you move super fast, so you're constantly running into stuff if you're not being extremely careful. Music's great, though.

    Rayman 3 has a weird sense of humor and I'm guessing I only got like half the jokes as a kid learning english as a second language. The big thing with Globox being "allergic" to "plum juice" is obviously just him being drunk, but the intro level features a Star Wars reference and a weird joke about Rayman auditioning for Spiderman 2 and if you punch Globox he might say that the game is going to be rated PG-13.

    If anyone wants Phantom Doctrine, you may want to wait until the 6th.
    So Humble Monthly is becoming Humble Choice, a worse service that makes you choose the games you want instead of giving you all of them, for a worse price. If you're a current Monthly sub, and you don't cancel your subscription, you get to keep the old plan, now known as Classic, and you do get all 10 games available every month.

    Earlier this week on the page discussing this, they leaked the 10 games available for the first Choice bundle starting on the 6th.

    If you really just want Phantom Doctrine, they are doing a $15/month plan that lets you pick 3 games, so you can grab PD and two more, I would recommend also grabbing Void Bastards and Blasphemous or Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Or, subscribe to Monthly right now before the 6th, and don't cancel, you'll stay on the $12/month plan and get all the games.

    wait what there was a C&C 4...?
    Tiberian Twilight was actually originally intended to be an online game for the Asian pro-gaming market. The game was later forced to become the conclusion of the Command & Conquer: Tiberian series in an effort to boost sales.
    The gameplay in Command & Conquer 4 no longer follows the same resource-gathering dynamic as previous games in the series.
    "The building of units is limited only by an absurdly small population cap and wait time - there's no resource-collection whatsoever. You then proceed to capture various points on the map and to hurl your dozen-odd-strong armies at any other players/AI. If your crawler gets nobbled, you can spawn in a new one after a short wait."
    Tom Chick of 1UP.com criticized the game requiring several hours of single player gameplay before being able to unlock other units or arsenal - important to winning games in multiplayer.
    Many negative reviews focused on the single-player campaign, and on the live action videos.[15][13][18] The digital rights management software included with the game, which requires the player to be online at all times and which will lead to a loss of progress if the connection is lost, has also been a source of criticism.
    "So there's nothing final or particularly satisfying about C&C4's conclusion, and for some reason it tries to replace the tried-and-tested campy cut-scenes with something grittier and nuanced. We're supposed to take this stuff seriously now?"

    oh

    oh no

    The next season for Destiny 2, Season Of Dawn, starts next Tuesday. Seasons run about 3 months and feature a battle pass-like progression system, with a bunch of gear and items unlocked through both a free and paid track. Buying the season pass gets you the paid track, along with a new 6-player activity called The Sundial, lots of new weapons and armor, and new quests.
    They're also bringing back the D1 PVP map Rusted Lands, and potentially bringing back the popular Trials of Osiris PvP mode, similar to a Hearthstone arena (go until you hit X wins or Y losses, rewards based on how you do) but for man-shooting instead. (Also Saint-14 is alive again due to time fuckery, and he owns, he once headbutted one of the biggest and most powerful Fallen leaders to death)

    I'm looking forward to possibly losing in Trials Of Osiris since I'm pretty bad at Destiny PVP

    also, it's not matchmade, right?

    Pretty sure it doesn't, yeah. IIRC, it was 3v3, took Light aka Power into consideration for damage dealt/taken, and was nothing but Thorn in D1.

    Yeah the new plans are worse, but honestly? There's ever only 2 maaaaaaybe 3 good games per month anyway.

    That is a good selection of humbles for me. The Phantom Doctrine talk had me interested already, void bastards I'm interested in but haven't gotten motivated enough to buy it outright. And I've actually been pondering Dead in Vinland as well. Desert Child I just remember their Cowboy Bebop styled trailer. I'm still working through a year of humble monthlies I picked up last holiday. ISince I paused a few months along the way. I think I still have two more months on that sub.

    Tarkov Update: I just shot at two players. For sure hit one on my first shot but the second looked like he juked away. While scoping the area could not see him anywhere so I did not go loot the first one since I had a needed quest item I'd found and didn't want to risk his buddy hiding around a corner waiting to ambush me in return.

    After the raid on the result screen it told me I killed both with a head shot each. I could not see the second body no matter where I looked so I assumed he lived but that was my best combat results against players so far! Two shots, two kills!

    This is a refreshingly correct take on the hunting, killing, butchery and consumption of humans

    not like, a super porny one though, as I understand it. Just a single kind of superfluous explicit sex scene in the middle of the several hours long story.

    Honestly Fate's only gotten more porny as time has gone on, even while it's had no more explicit sex scenes after the original release of the original visual novel. The mobile game is probably the most to blame for that.
