    Hey I enjoy watching 20 minute mini movies back to back and all but I really just want to run around falling off mountains.

    Kojima is the worst.

    I dunno, I think there are indie games out there that give him a run for his money. I've put about 6 or 7 hours into Eastward, and I feel like I've played maybe 45 minutes. The rest was spent reading dialog. Indie game characters really don't know when to shut the fuck up. At least with Kojima, I get some cool visuals to take in.

    I love Kojima. If I ever got a massive powerball win or it was discovered that I was actually the unknown bastard heir to some major corporation and I became one of those people who turned rich overnight I would be incredibly tempted to give him a hundred and fifty million dollars, an office building with blacked out windows, a legally binding NDA that is mandatory for anyone entering the building (even the pizza guy), the stipulation that the game cannot be advertised or promoted until the day before it launches, and a five year deadline.

    Just to see what kind of completely batshit crazy game we would get on the other side.

    Rockband definitely ran into the limits of the XboxOnes UI if you kept buying the DLC. Boot times of 20 minutes I remember from Alex Navarro. Though they fixed it for the newXbox.

    That's wonderfully thoughtful of them to add that DLC.

    Because honestly, sometimes as a demon thrall battling a completely naked succubus, with only the blood and gore hiding some of the finer details, I think to myself, "Where's the allure? Wouldn't this be even more enticing if something was left up to the imagination? I could wonder what exactly is under that skin tight bodice, or high-cut thong, seconds before she rips out by still beating heart and shows it to me before I die."

    That's part of the magic, in my opinion.

    I guess page 12 is as good as ever. I'll be doing my Extra-Life 2021 marathon on Saturday, November 27th. It's later than usual and it'll only be ~12 hours, but I imagine I'll start around 10am EST and go until I get tired which will probably be around midnight. My goal will be $2k as always, and I'll be raffling the usual steam prizes (One steam game of your choice, and a $100USD digital Steam Card) from the previous runs, but nothing physical this time around. All you need to do to enter the raffle is donate at least $5 by the following Sunday morning. I'll pull winners then and post them here :). Try to include your PA name in the donation message so I can message you.

    https://www.extra-life.org/participant/Koopah is the dono link! I'll have a Twitch extension up on my channel as well thanks to Extra-Life making streamer's lives easy.

    Thanks friends! <3

    Friendly reminder. :) This is next Saturday.

    Oh. I forgot to bookmark the new thread.

    . . . hi, everyone! I have been playing mainly games on consoles rather than Steam, though I do have more things to play on Steam because I'm continuing to keep Humble Choice until, I think it's this next summer when the price should go up and I'll bow out?

    Anyways, I think it's kinda crap that in Assassin's Creed Odyssey that if one choice is the romance/flirty option, the other invariably feels like being an asshole. Just because I don't want to flirt with someone doesn't mean the other choice needs to be cast in a more negative light. But other than that, merc in ancient Greece is fun. I don't think I'm even halfway into the main story; they want me to go back to Athens and I suspect it's a turning point/altering point of the game so I've been avoiding it. :lol:

    Yeah, was having this conversation on stream last night, and opinions on Kojima and his work varied wildly. He's a legit talented ideas man and director, a deeply fascinating individual, and possibly a time lord. He's also kind of bad at actually telling stories, needs someone around to tell him 'no', and should probably be kept from personally writing about sensitive topics. Sometimes the eccentric auteur comes up with a genius bit of narrative, iconic characters, and themes that rightly hold up decades later - and sometimes he comes up with introductions-by-crotch-grabbing and a sniper who dresses like a stripper because she breathes through her skin.

    What I'm saying is Hideo Kojima is a land of contrasts.

    Thoroughly. His mind is a self-contained ecosystem of creativity, wonder, hedonism, and insanity, and should be preserved at all costs. If some science fiction or cosmic horror scenario from a book or movie happens for real, I would bet on him calling exactly how it would go down and also bet on him surviving.

    Just please god check his work before hitting publish.

    I would say Kojima takes games as art to the most logical extreme. I mean, the slavic developed 6DOF game where you steal color from monsters and return it to your naked goddess witch sisters was more confusing, but not as much as some of the MGS games could be.

    I'm really interested in that new Ruined King game, but I was hoping someone here had already got it and could give me an honest review.

    I re-bought it after they fixed the bug (also I take it back what I said about their bad QA - looks like the bug was only for Swedish/Finnish versions of Windows, that's understandable to miss) and it works fine for me now. Haven't gotten very far yet but it's fairly close to their previous game Battle Chasers. Lots of turn-based combat with walking around in between. I like it so far, game looks and sounds good and the combat animations are great. There's a lot of different abilities for each character and you can customize them with talent points. So if that sounds like your cup of tea I can recommend it.

    Frankly both Battle Chasers and this are what I always wish the turn-based combat in JRPGs would be like. There's no million-turn long boss fights or constant one-shots in harder fights or spamming auto-attack against pointless constantly respawning trash mobs.

    Wait, is this essentially just a reskin of Battle Chasers with League of Legends stuff?

    I had been ignoring this game because it said League of Legends and I have no need for lane based MOBAs teams gacha and whatnot and get off my lawn.

    But I really liked Battle Chasers.

    EDIT: Please don't gift it to me. Will decline. Just curious.

    More or less, yes. I've never played LoL and that hasn't really hindered me any here, it explains any relevant lore stuff well enough with cutscenes and conversations and party's chats. I'm sure you'd like this just fine. Been a while since I played Battle Chasers but I think this has even more customization layers (talents, runes, gear, gear enchants, party composition) than it had which is one of the things an autistic tinkerer like me really likes.

    Hey @Mirkel, some quick Ruined King questions for you.

    I'm about 3 hours in and just finished some cutscenes introducing Yasuo and Ahri. Is it just me (it probably is) or is everything really slow? My characters "runs" through the map like they're in first gear. The Bildgewater map is huge so it takes forever to get anywhere and there's no minimap on-screen, so I'm having to open the map constantly which keeps things slow. And why do I have to scan to see shit on the map?

    The menus are a jumbled mess of abilities, armor, items, and so forth. I have no idea what I'm doing with half the stuff I've found so far.

    In combat, should I be worried about mana at all? Instant attacks are basically worthless, but Lane attacks are painfully slow (even at "fast" speed). I'm guessing that combat won't change much, so I'll just have to get used to it. There seems like a lot of debuffs for each character which I'm unsure of what they do. Do they matter or should I just ignore them?

    Here's the crazy bit of it: aspects of Quiet were unironically done well, and this gets back to Kojima-as-director. The character being mute places a high focus on her expressions and physical behavior, and setting aside the silly aspects of her biology my impressions of her were mostly positive; some late-game scenes make creative use of her (usual) lack of a voice and flesh out the character in interesting ways. I honestly think Quiet's design would've been easily ignored if the explanation was simply "she's a dangerous, silent mercenary who basically does what she wants and nobody has the guts to question her about it," rather than whatever the hell the reason was. Nanomachines wolbachia or something, I forget.

    In any case, there's clear affection that went into the game, despite the nightmarish circumstances within Konami and god only knows what extra hurdles the dev team had in front of them. MGS as a series is a beautiful, obnoxious, and special kind of weird and our relationship status is "it's complicated."

    That is really cool though, the actress did a great job :+1:

    @DyasAlure Sorry, I don't think anyone was intentionally trying to be a goose.

    We don't know anything that isn't out in the previews already. From what I've seen it's a piece of hardware that does exactly as advertised, in a form factor that's surprisingly impressive. And when you're getting into the ballpark of $500+, it has to be good.

    So I already own a Switch. Don't tell the kids, but we're getting a Switch lite for Christmas since it's so popular. But I'll be adding the Steam Deck to my arsenal when it gets to my turn in the pre-order queue.

    Thanks to issues getting to the payment screen, I was 37 minutes late ordering, and I'm not getting mine until Q2. So that's the other question...right now, it might realistically be another 6-12 months before you can get your hands on one if you haven't pre-ordered already, assuming they actually stay on their schedule (which has already slipped 3 months).

    In other words, I think it's awesome. I own a lot of games on Steam, and it'll be an incredible device I hope gives me many years of service.
