I guess I made some enemies in Skyrim because when I fast traveled to a village near the quest I was doing, I IMMEDIATELY got jumped.

These MFs were on some crazy demon time. Like, this ish was worse than that time in Breath of the Wild where I used a campfire to pass the time, a Blood Moon goes down and when it's over, I'm sitting next to a squad of enemies looking to give me the meanest fade. Granted, it's only 3 dudes in Skyrim but... I'm a total noob. Two of them got shields and I'm still packing scrub equipment. These dudes are whaling on me like...

Between Skyrim and Rayman Legends, Princess Peach: Showtime is a nice, chill game for me. Even though I somehow messed up the first cake stage. How can I save the world in other games, yet struggle with bakery stuff?

I don't get that last tweet Aries. 

 

A discussion, in the wake of Stellar Blade I assume,  spiraling how those BB two characters have awful designs, plus that they are under 18 but

some say their ages are never revealed.

One of the critics defends the design of Angel from KOF because unlike Makoto and Mai, Angel is cool because she's a
"unironic killer". I don't know what that means, I don't know the KOF lore.

A date is thrown (a date that should not be named) regarding Bridget; The day he was born or decided to identify as a trans woman, not sure.
And mainly people being thankful BB is small so that the publisher won't feel shamed and pressured into modifying the characters' designs.

Didn't your cat do this before @iStu X?

Yeah. With FFXV as I was saving. Which ended up corrupting my 55-ish hour save state.
 

 It’s not exactly her fault though. She just kinda casually bumped into it while trying to jump on her perch. Whoever built the house my gf and I live in really sucked at electrical installation.  A lot of our outlets are installed not so professionally. They aren’t dangerous or whatever, but slightly uneven or too deep in the wall, things like that. So our plugs aren’t always the most secure (again, not in a dangerous way). 
 

So it was a pure accident. Doesn’t make me any less pissed though. But I’m really not that angry. It didn’t corrupt my 100+ save state. Just the last boss fight is a really long and tedious boss rush that I really don’t have the energy to tackle again at the moment.

Dragon's Dogma 2-- I'm loving it as much as the first one... my crew ran into some group of bandits that also had a mage or sorcerer....the others took the regular bandits and I crushed that fraud mage easily....she had no chance.  There's a certain satisfaction when seeing my ice spell launch the victim up in the air.  I think they take an extra bit of damage when hitting the ground too....then of course follow up with lightning while they're down.  I always like adding that extra bit of insult to injury by throwing the corpse somewhere as well.  I threw her into some ruined abandoned building.  "Dookor the Foul" sorcerer is up to level 15 now.

 

ooh, in reviewing a clip from recently, I just noticed one of the pawns picked up a block of the ice (after it shattered) I conjured up and threw it at an ogre.  Little details like that help make the greatness this has going on.

I only have about an hour into it. Seems solid thus far. I really like the character creator. Too bad you can only have one character.

I do feel with age I want my female characters to wear more. Love Dolores in KOF XV but y do think the excessive skin is too much.

 

That being said I love the characters like Makoto and Angel because they are fun both in personality traits and the way they play. Although BlazBlue is a dormant franchise so why they bringing it in on this seems unnecessary. Besides  game characters especially fighting games (not named Virtua Fighter) are meant to be outlandish designs.

Did you play DD1? I'm just curious since almost everyone who played DD1 had to get over those same growing pains back in the day so it's kinda funny seeing people say the same again. 

Yeah I played DD1.  I didn't finish it though. I played it for like 12 hours. I rebought it on PC a while ago and never picked it back up.

I don't know how you have so little media literacy to somehow think that Helldivers 2 is anti-political.  And yeah this is a real tweet by this guy trying to go after HD2 community manager.  I had to double check to make sure.

Edit:  IGN put up their review for HD2 on Twitter and apparently people are upset and or realizing that they're playing as fascists or upset that they said you're playing as fascists?

Arrowhead literally has to come out and say what they're not being subtle about it apparently.....amazing.

How people haven’t picked up on the fact the game is essentially Starship Troopers the Movie the Game is insane to me. Most of the charm from HD2 is the absurdity of facists thinking they’re the heroes and doing their part. you’re literally going to war with bugs because they bleed oil humanity can use ffs. 😂

I feel for like as i get older i want the sexualization to serve more of a purpose then giving myself a chubby. Like the sexualization in Bayonetta is the entire theme of the game, it defines her personality, her empowerment, her fighting styles. It's an entire cabaret show. 

 

Where as in the into level to Stellar Blade I'm watching a woman get her arm brutally chopped off and in the same frame I can see her ass Crack. 

 

What exactly am I supposed to be taking room this scene? Do I feel bad or do I feel horny? Why is the camera being voyeuristic during a brutal and "emotional" moment? It's some really mixed ass messaging. 

 

So yea I don't mind titillating but I'm far less interested these days in titillating for the sake of it. Kind of comes off as cheap and easy. 

 

I don't buy porn, I'm sure as shit not gonna buy games for that either lol.

I was on the last boss fight in 7 Rebirth when my cat accidentally unplugged my PS5. So I’m pissed and not wanting to play it again for awhile. So I’m playing DQ8 on the 3DS. it’s a comfort game. 

Your cat got some kinda vendetta with you? I recall something similar with FFXVI, was it? Once is an accident. Twice? Nah, man, that is sus AF.

Well a lot of people also don’t realize that the Starship Troopers movie is making fun of that as well so take that as you will.

I wonder if someone out there has made Jeff Epstein into a Dragon's Dogma character, since that customization is so good.... I bet someone out there has done it.  That's another part of the fun when there's a really good character creation system.  I just remembered there was a video of someone playing Saint's Row with a Barack Obama character; it was hilarious to me.

Yeah, it is the same stuff with the first RoboCop, which is the same director. Funny how HD2 and the RoboCop Rogue City game came out so close to one another.

I saw someone posting about their first time getting into Elden Ring, asking for advice as he stood in that first area; I went right to the comments for the gold and saw exactly what I was expecting 😆

Super Mario Maker has been 100 percent completed.  There was a level that someone uploaded using TAS, which was considered illegitimate. But someone actually just beat that level,  right before Nintendo is shutting down Wii U servers tomorrow. It's been a pretty cool community event I've been following and super cool that someone actually beat the level without the use of tools.

I haven't played the game and only have been reading about it, but....

 

Hasn't the dev of H2 basically told people that want dei stuff in the game to fuck off? Maybe that's what people are talking about when they say it's "anti political?" It doesn't have any characters, designs, or storylines that a lot of other dei influenced companies are using? If that's the case, then mentioning the story seems to be missing the point.

 

Again, could be wrong, but it would make sense especially since there seems to be a backlash against games with a lot of dei stuff in them brewing.
