Tyranny wasn't kickstarted and it didn't seem to have much of a marketing presence, which I think makes a bigger difference (and if it had been crowdsourced I think the gameplay would probably have had some of the rougher edges filed off; it has the whiff of a pet project about it that needed someone to step in and…

Hey, is anyone playing the Gwent beta? Is it strictly multiplayer, or is there some singleplayer content in there too?

DS3 has the best gameplay in the series—I kind of like the narrative of DS2 best, though—so in a lot of ways it's the easiest and most fun of the three. If you want a relatively manageable time, I recommend picking either the Warrior or Assassin starting class.

Oh crap, I didn't realize that the ARMS Testpunch was starting tonight! I'll have to download it and give it a go!

Tyranny has such an interesting setting and a unique style that it's a shame that I don't really like playing it very much. The character development system is godawful and the combat is a slog.

Maybe he "just stands there" because it's kind of weird for a grown man to go around randomly hugging his co-worker and that's a bizarre situation to be in.

It was just the whole gritty vibe. It works fine with Mortal Kombat, it even works fine with just Batman, but when everyone is grim and dour and trying to murder each other…I dunno. It doesn't appeal to me very much.

I played the first and didn't really care for it (but liked Mortal Kombat X) and didn't think that adding a loot system would solve my problem with it.

Funny that the Captain America films are widely considered among the best MCU films even as the current comics are viewed as horrible ideas…

The whole vibe kinda put me off. I like Mortal Kombat X just fine, I just think that aesthetic is counterproductive to a superhero game.

I think that RPG elements in action games should be mostly about gating progress so that players develop a unique style over time that rewards them not just with a fun experience, but one they feel is unique to them and reflective of their personal approach. Dark Souls is probably the best example of this.

But A Cure for Wellness was directed by Gore Verbinski, who directed the first three (four?) Pirates films. He didn't direct this one.

Also a belief that Superman is boring and so you need to put some kind of twist on him rather than doing what the MCU has done with the similarly Boy Scout-ish Captain America and place him in situations where his uncomplicated decency is both tested and admirable.

Soul Calibur has had various kinds of customization for years, but the serious players always turn off the equipment stats in the name of balance.

Ooh, new Guilty Gear! I wish they'd bring back the English voice acting from Xrd. It was surprisingly OK (and I love Sean Connery Slayer).

The microtransaction elements sound deeply repellent and balance-breaking, and frankly I'm not crazy about superhero fighting games that lean into the grim and gritty aesthetic; it shifts from a fun idea where you can pit your favorite characters against each other towards a legitimately kind of downer concept.

She tells Daniels to go back and does explain why when Daniels asked. I don't think that the original MUTHR was terribly sophisticated or proactive.

Remember the guy who got facehugged but the facehugger got pulled off? Turns out it still deposited the egg (larvae? what is the facehugger actually doing?). Whoops!

Reality is restored.
