Video Game Discussion Thread vol. 2

Samus Aran is not a bounty hunter. What she does is more akin to a mercenary.

RIP the old thread. So the Olympics opening ceremony having video game music like Robo's Theme? Yeah that was dope.

Anyone gonna check out Orcs Must Die 3? I only played the first one, but I enjoyed it. 3 looks fun.

Just played through Mega Man 10 for the first time in a while. Man, the weapons really suck in that one. It's still a good game, but 9 totally crushes it, way more inspired feeling.

Update on Blizzard situation, CEO sends out an email to employees about what's going on and how best to move forward

Blizzard co-founder chimes in

What's really messed up is that Mike Morhaime was the head of Blizzard when all this shit was going down/on. But the state of California is prob gonna do what we all have wanted to do to Activision (and Blizzard by proxy), and have not been able to do collectively; that being lightening the pockets of one Robert Kotick just a tiny bit. Seriously though, I hope they throw the fucking book at Activision.

Playing Immortal Fenyx Rising. Can't really seem to get into this one. The thing that pissed me off was that you don't have a "lock on" until you reach a certain point. I thought about throwing my controller.

Imma give it a couple more hours. At the moment, nothing pulls me into it.

I've been on the fence with that one. A buddy of mine liked it, but I've read mixed reviews. If I see it on sale sometime I might check it out.

I got it for $25. It's just not at all that interesting. I feel like I should just be playing Breath of the Wild.

ok yeah... I had a ton of the MS reward points so I got the Streets of Rage 4 dlc with that today....(ha, and I still have a lot left over) I have only tried sor4-version Max and Shiva so far but BRUH.... Shiva is, unsurprisingly, THE SHIT. This dude is combo-city, folks. Just a little while ago, with a half-ass amount of effort I got an 80-hit combo on the screen....then there's that one move where you dash past someone and he stands in the cool pose as a flurry of hits get them about a half-second later. That shit is DELICIOUS every time I see it. He continues to be one of the most badass dudes in the history of the genre, imo.

Also---this content is actually on sale right now; it's only a slightly reduced price but it was like 6 bucks and change, something like that.
