I mean in any other case I’d agree, but Underlords is in a really weird spot. It’s been playable for almost a year now, the Autochess craze has come and gone, and they don’t even have a purchasable battlepass yet - instead still using the free “Proto Pass” that was added a few weeks after launch.

Valve might as well just buy that game and rename it Counter-Strike: VR, love it. There are some good ports of CoD 2 maps too

Underlords... doesn’t have any lootboxes though?

Eh, as someone who can’t really hang with most shooters anymore I like the Battle Royale stuff. I actually find it to be the exact opposite, I end up doing way better than I have any right to because the first 80% of the game is pretty heavily dictated by randomness. And the skill-based parts are more about…

Funny enough, it’s a bit of an open secret that most pro players use smurf accounts and Valve kind of just turns a blind eye to it.

I probably followed a dozen different “Ocarina of Time 2D” projects when I was younger, all of them fizzled out into nothingness for some reason or another.

Not quite the same but I fucking love how Prime does it, with a little panel on the pause screen showing what actors are in the scene and sometimes a little fun fact about production.

You’re not wrong but for as much as VR is still in its infancy, AR is even further away from being a commercially viable product. Hololens and Magic Leap, which have had tens of millions in R&D pumped into them over the last 8 years, scaled back tremendously and are now only used for extremely specific and…

In theory sure, but Israel is a key component of the military industrial complex and there’s no way in hell the powers that be would ever let that happen.

Metal Gear Biden: Tactical Kidsniffing Action

This is absolute insanity to me, Ashtray Maze was the highlight of that game for me. It’s the cherry on top - a shot of pure, distilled campy-ness right into your veins reminding you that you’re still playing a damned videogame and damned videogames are supposed to be damned fun.

I took it as Rian running a bit counter to how Abrams had pretty plainly set things up to go.

Thank you. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills whenever I hear people talk about how “subversive” The Last Jedi was. Like, it’s the same damn movie as all the others! I don’t dislike it because it’s different, I dislike it because it’s the same played-out formula they’ve been drip-feeding people since the 80's but they…

All these “live service” shooters are pretty much interchangeable at this point tbh

I believe the Bluetooth logo is actually an old Norse rune, and Nazi fucks are weirdly into Norse mythology so I guess it’s not that surprising.

Why do you need a pat on the back just for doing your job? Sounds pretty entitled tbh

You can buy the games individually for $10 (with Reach being the only one available on PC at the moment), or you can buy the entire pack for $40 to get them all as they release.

It’s been a while since I’ve played Halo, but IIRC you’re correct - you can crouch while moving.

Halo 3 really was the golden age of community-driven online games. One of the first console shooters to have an in-depth level editor, definitely the first to have a dedicated photo/replay mode with a built-in way to share your creations, and all in the days before XBL Party Chat or Discord isolated friend groups into…

And that’s totally fine! People are allowed to have opinions.
