        @Sammich I wish I could get more teams in Rivals that would actually push the objective. It’s really sad to see a Hulk or Wolverine standing off the objective, punching the air, then after the match, they’ve got 0 time on objective and complain that the rest of the team sucked.

            There are weird space alien flower bug things in my Space Trucker simulator, and I’m a little annoyed that space legs were so bad when they first dropped that I quit space trucking for a while. Tangentially related, the space alien flower bug things aren’t cute enough for me to try to join never mind the game devs won’t let people join them.

            Anyway, Sol and/or Earth about to get wrecked, time to speed run building that 1:1 scale Space Trucker MU or something.

              @BloodAngel Seconded. Really also anything published by Critical Reflex. Mouthwashing, Lunacid, Arctic Eggs…

              They have a lot of awesome stuff.

                    @dvoraen It’s been quite some time since I saw a trailer, raised a brow, and immediately set a reminder for the launch date on my phone. That looks like it could be pretty damn rad.

                      Go back to my first post (in this thread) on the subject. This is how I feel about the score:

                        Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a fantastic musou game that sits down and really works on the Dynasty Warriors formula and I recommend it to anyone who played prior games, even if they were burned by DW9.

                        The story gets a proper dedicated focus instead of being relegated to mission and character cut-scenes, and works hard to tell the saga of the Downfall of the Han with a combination of historical accuracy, Romance of the Three Kingdoms embellishments, and Dynasty Warriors flair. Respect is shown to what were formally comic relief characters such as the tragedy of Zhang Jiao and the morph of Dong Zhuo into a truly menacing manipulator.

                        Gameplay is harder and no longer winnable by mashing X/Square. You need to combine light and heavy attacks, Battle Arts, blocking, dodging, and your Musou attacks (which now come close to being full screen wipes) in a far more skill-oriented system. There are less than ten weapons this time around, but each one has a massive moveset and all are completely differentiated from each other in style and gameplay.

                        Some things did miss the cut, like playing as historical characters instead of the new protag John Musou (who himself is probably the weakest part of the game), but the work done on the gameplay and story more than makes up for it.

                          @Hobbie Big fan of the series over the years. Love this entry.

                          It’s missing a few things for me (like playing through each of the 3 kingdoms separately), and I don’t really like the “inventory” system or the thing with the Pantene rocks, but the good far outweighs the bad.

                          I’ve been entertained.

                            (ETA)“This team gets it.” is basically where I’m at. I mean, even just talking about why there’s a world map I was like: snap point(/ETA)

                            Also, I would go gay for the Creative Director because of his accent.

                                  Two thoughts:

                                  Jesus Fucking Christ

                                  and

                                    Finally finished Veilguard and man. MAN. I super enjoyed it.

                                    Once the credits were rolling, I was thinking how I can’t imagine doing the game again. There were so many games that I played through a handful of times - both KOTORs, Dragon Age I & II. I mean like fired up DAII last year while waiting for new games to come out.

                                    Lately, I can’t bring myself to do the newer games a second time though. Loooved Greedfall, but wouldn’t play it again. Maybe they’re too big? Or maybe I got all I needed out of it? I don’t know. Just a random thought post-game.

                                    she/her, them/they - not super particular

                                    I have been here the whole time

                                        @dvoraen TY for posting this recommendation. I was on the fence about paying for a new game, but you tipped the scales and I bought it a few days ago.

                                        I have not finished it. I am going to!!

                                        But I was playing last night, having a grand time. The gameplay is fun, the scenery is gorgeous, the characters and voice acting are spot on, the universe is intriguing. I’m super loving this! I’ve hit my stride! Each party member has a fun mechanic, I love the synergy of the fight mechanics and how I customized my team to work together and then–

                                        I had to take a wee break after an emotional gut-punch (I’m sure y’all can guess~).

                                        Will tap back in once I get to the end - which, to be clear, the beautifully sad story has only made me more afraid and excited to uncover. I hope it keeps being this devastating. 🤞

                                          If people have left Elite Dangerous and alhave been considering looking back in, there is currently a trade war going on with 55x markup of certain items. Also depending on how long you’ve been gone, Thargoid war is over (for now) and we have hot rod boosting through FTL. Also space legs/walking around (just not inside your own ship, for some reason).
