Sonichuman Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Sam Sho - Baiken vs Genjuro ^ I watched a couple of reviews on NMH III last night and I find it strange that Suda would make the open world in the manner he did after NMH 1 especially with it chugging the framerate. Most of the reviews have been solid on the game regardless cept for IGN and Gamespot shitting on it. I haven't watched either of those 2 to hear why the rated the game so low yet but I'll probably give a listen some time today. Quote Link to comment
Chadouken Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I beat TLOU last night. Fucking hell, what a great game. Brutal, but awesome. One of the best endings in any game I've ever played. purbeast, Hawkingbird, iStu X and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment

One of the best endings in any game I've ever played. Play the Left Behind DLC if you haven't already. It ties up a lot of loose ends with Ellie regarding the first game. Plus it's only 2-3 hours long. VGM Friday contributions (Quake inspired this week): DangerousJ and Sonichuman 2 Quote Link to comment

As someone who’s been in this series since the beginning, what you do in between missions is easily the most divisive thing in these games. The open world in the first game was a pretty much negative until the 2nd game took it away and people were angry about that. It probably put Suda in a weird spot on what to do without pissing off the most amount of people. Quote Link to comment

I understand why Joel lied to Ellie- one, to save her from the guilt of not fulfilling the mission at any cost, including her own sacrifice. But also because he finally opened himself up to her and allowed her to replace the void Sarah left, and he wasn't able to endure another loss like that. It also seemed like Ellie didn't believe him, but was willing to accept the lie, as she grew to depend on him, too. I'm glad he saved her. From what I saw what was left of humanity, it wasn't worth saving anyway. Fuck it. I especially liked the part where you finally get to the operating room and kill the fuck out of the evil doctors. I had just upgraded my shotgun and was saving my remaining ammo for the final boss fight. I completely DESTROYED THE FUCK out of everyone in the room in a matter of seconds.

I know there were a few who missed that NMH II didn't have an open world but my thing is if it wasn't running optimally then I would have thought he would have just scrapped it instead of it being bigger sore spot in the long run.

I hadn't played it since it launched when I went into TLOU2 and I forgot about a lot of the story. And there were parts that I thought were SUPER cool with how it tied into the ending of TLOU1.

And piecing together what happened with Ish from the letters. I loved that whole sewer part with the two brothers. Was hoping they were going to be permanent characters. Was pretty shocked the way shit went down so abruptly. But it also helps add context to the transformation Ellie goes through, becoming more hardened to the world. Another part that got me was when Joel was about to leave Ellie with Tommy and she told him how everyone she's ever cared about had either died or abandoned her, except for Joel. And then he told her she was right- she isn't his daughter, and he ain't her fucking father. Fuck, man. Edited August 27, 2021 by Chadouken DangerousJ and Hawkingbird 2 Quote Link to comment

purbeast Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Watched Mortal Kombat movie for the second time last night. I liked it even more the second time. First time was on HBO Max but I bought the bluray of it. The sound is night/day different on the bluray compared to the shitty compressed sound from streaming services.

Faltimar the Dark Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I finally decided to try Assassins Creed Valhalla. I like this kinda game. It feels like the Middle Earth games or Batman games. I really like these kind of games. Its cool that you can switch to a bird to see everything from its view. I have these games lined up for me now - I haven't finished RE7...takin' longer than I thought. So that means i haven't started RE8. I think I'll go ahead and move that down and play through AC:Valhalla first. Yeah, I have to assign myself games to complete else I'll jump around too much and not complete any.🤣 Play Synthetik RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment
Skort Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Streamed ,played and finished Call of Juarez : Gunslinger. I played Bound in Blood some years ago but never got to play Gunslinger 'till now. Allow me to say that i enjoyed the game quite a lot. A sweet 'ol revenge story with a badass protagonist, Silas Greaves. The main character narrates the story while you play and often ends up in discussions with the people that are listening to him ( he is in a bar ) that question if his tales are true or is he a washed up drunk that's looking for a free drink. It's fully self aware and the story is nothing incredible but quite enjoyable regardless. The combat is responsive and the shooting feels satisfying with multiple skill trees based on what weapon you prefer. And for a game that's several years old i actually think it still holds up. We need more games like this imo,that just focus on the most important aspect of a video game, fun. DangerousJ 1 Quote Link to comment
