somebody getting in trouble for this

[purbeast]

Finished Shantae and the Seven Sirens this morning.  Pretty damn fun game.  Not too hard or anything but it was just an enjoyable game.  I finished in 7:48 or something like that with 68% complete.  I wish after finishing it you could go back into the world and they gave you some kind of item that shows where the missing stuff is.  But all it has is a new game plus mode which I doubt I'll go back and do.

I’m going to assume that she will be an important figure for whatever arc 14 and 15 is planning since she’s paired up with Heidern (important in Rugal Arc), K’ (main character in the Nests Arc), and Ash (main character and threat in his own arc). Just an assumption and can’t say for certainty. Her design looks great though.

[HD-Man]

Cornrows chick looks AMAZING, and I'm not just saying that cuz I'm black 😂

That new island expansion in Ghost of Tsushima. I'm pretty stoked to play it. Might start over and do a lethal run.

Was thinking new Game of Thrones what?

 

But Ghost of Tsushima ah, makes much more sense.

[purbeast]

Had never even heard of Pacman 99 until last night when my buddy brought it to a friends house and we played it for a bit.

 

Game is fun as shit.  Just grabbed it for myself on switch and it's free.

It is really fun. I downloaded it when it first came out but I havent played it in awhile. Had a good time with it though and it's pretty easy to pick up.

The hardest part is controlling the damn thing with the analogs or the direction buttons. The dpad didn't feel the best either.  I have died multiple times just because I missed a correct direction.  Sure it's user error but it's just because the controls are kind of tough.  With I could use a real joystick for it.

[RSG3]

I always wanted a cross gate joyatick for Packman. You know only able to input the cardnal directions. Diagonals will ypy get fucked in higher levels of Pac-Man when the heat is on. 

 

Mrs. Pac-Man was the better game tho. Never played 99. Champion Edition was dope as fuck. 

[Faltimar the Dark]

So, yeah Eldest Souls.  Check it out if you havent.

I started out using the dpad but switched to the sticks instead because there's some move that allows you to bypass ghosts when coming around a corner if you time it right. I found that easier to do with the stick because I'd just ride the diagonals as I approached the corners. 

[RegH81]

This was an interesting and funny watch.

 

 

Kinda surprised to hear Piston Hondo pirates manga. Also, what happened to Aaron Ryan between SNES Super Punch Out!! and Wii Punch-Out!!?? Dude seemed perfectly sane in the SNES title but went full on nutso in the Wii version.

It is scary how well Lola's voice (from The Looney Tunes Show) fits Daisy.

[MillionX]

yeah that latest trailer for Wukong is RIDICULOUS.  That one is a day 1 purchase for me easily.

 

just when I figured the Dead Cells addiction had finally subsided for a while...now I'm finding about even MORE new interesting shit they added to the game; "aspects"... Doc has a vid he just posted on this:

Man, TLoU is fucked up. That intro made me sad as fuck. Especially as a dad.

I made it to Bill's town, about to go fetch some car parts. So I got past the Tess sacrifice, which was also pretty crazy. Man, this game is fucking brutal.

[RSG3]

So my new controller arrived today. I can get back to recording my Souls run.

 Gonna try to get one up tonight.

Yeeeeeahhh....So that part hits pretty hard for people with kids and then you're also going to have to deal with the moral controversy of the ending.  Let us know what you think about that when you get to it.

Today is Devil May Cry‘s 20th anniversary.

[KimuraLOX]

Kinda surprised that that Aliens game is actually decent.
 

 

[Sonichuman]

Seems there's a good number of very positive reviews for Psychonauts 2...hopefully the Xbox fans don't just pass over the game since it isn't shooty shooty bang bang explosion football

^ this is an announcement teaser for the trailer that is literally coming tomorrow.

[MillionX]

 Well now... found another VTM game that's on kickstarter apparently...but it's a card game....of course I'd still prefer actual video games being made with this IP

got an hour to kill? a video on Exposing FRAUD And DECEPTION In The Retro Video Game Market

 

 

[RSG3]

Retro collecting has been some level of shit show for some 10 to 15 years now with incredibly inflated prices that make no fucking sense, as well as bootlegs and knock off running rampant. You really gotta know what you are looking at these days.

Been playing Black Mesa (  Half Life 1 remake ) and to be honest it's really impressive how far they managed to push the Source engine. The game is visually impressive given the fact that Source is quite dated compared to other engines by this time.  

 

I think it took them ~8 years to remake this but i just reached Xen and it does the original justice and then some.

I thought the game looked real pretty and it was fun.  Its weird cause I didnt care for it originally (HL).

 

I also think its crazy that when Black Mesa was first released it was free then they eventually started charging for it.

Edited August 23, 2021 by Faltimar the Dark

[Skort]

I bought it when it was like 5 euro years ago. But decided to play it fully when it was finished as they released it each episode at a time.

[Faltimar the Dark]

I never knew anything about episodes.  Maybe I should check it out again.

While what they did is impressive, I'm not as impressed by Source as many other people considering its a modified Quake Engine (with a bit of Quake II thrown in), and said modified Quake Engine is still the basement level code in every Call of Duty Game. GldSrc is the source of Source Engine, but the sauce on GldSrc is Quake. It all goes back to the living walking talking Large Hadron Collider known as John Carmack and Quake 1.

 

Quake is an impressive engine. Source is an impressive mod of that engine.

Throwing this out there...there's a sudden influx of NMH3 previews/gameplay from various outlets that showed up in my feed, Matt Mcmuscles even got a code.  Gamexplain is actually streaming the game right now for those interested.

I really don't want to watch too much of anything but it looks like people can show chap 1 and 3 at least.
