Professional is easy to S rank with the infinite launcher. Even with the handcannon being easier to get I’d recommend the route for most people should be 1st playthrough at your own pace > 2nd playthrough on Assisted to farm for the IRL > 3rd playthrough to get S rank on Pro. After that you can jump to a S+ attempt on…

I hope the overall quality of episodes improves with this season. I think I only found 2 of them to be great last season, with the rest either being completely carried by the animation or just all around bad. They’re really short anyway so it’s not a huge time investment but there’s a lot more potential to be tapped…

Ada and Wesker were datamined, along with more Ada content so I’d imagine there’s more coming with an eventual Separate Ways DLC.

The ticket helps those who are struggling with the S+ runs. Don’t get me wrong, the practice here is still annoying/gross, but that’s where the value is. You can’t use a NG+ file to get S+ so if you have a few tickets in your storage at the start of the game you can at least upgrade some items right away to help…

I think a part of the reason you don’t see mass pushback against this is that it’s involving two huge yet incredibly insular groups of gamers - Blizzard gamers, and Call of Duty gamers. I really don’t mean this as a slight, I have a ton of diehard blizzard gamer friends, but those two groups specifically likely…

Given the reception to 5 (although it does have its fans like myself) I think Capcom has some freedom to really redo large parts of the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being the furthest diversion from original to remake by a long stretch.

A lot of the good stuff is to the left of where you enter - a sneakable path, shotgun house, etc. But don’t sleep on the right side. All you have to do is stealth kill the granny that is patrolling the pathway there (the villagers burning the cop won’t see you if you hug the wall), and you get to loot a shed, go…

Because we like them too? I loved Ragnarok and enjoyed the single player campaign in Infinite. I also love Return of the Obra Dinn and The Norwood Suite. Why would I stop playing games I like just because of some budgetary label?

Why was Overwatch 2 considered a sequel?

Not a Game Pass launch game, the deal has not gone through so they can’t really pull that yet. They could still make a deal with Blizzard to do so, but at least for launch that isn’t the case.

I think the sequel will wipe the slate clean and go to a different timeline. The choice system...didn’t seem like a system. Like, it didn’t seem the game was tallying your choices and molding the game around them. The binary choice at the end was so meaningless I can’t see them wanting a sequel to be tied down to it.

I do like Game Pass although I’m just an on-and-off subscriber, but comparing the list of adds to the list of games leaving, this is a net negative month imo. Quite the opposite picture that article is trying to portray.

Either the entire broom flying mechanics or the size of the quidditch field (pitch? who cares?) need to change. There’s no way a game like that is working with what we have now. 

It’s actually a really interesting story (which we find out about in the first game), and I would say at this point it is the best thing about the franchise as a whole. Unfortunately the “present” story is quite lame compared to everything we’ve learned about the world before HZD starts.

The game is an amazing technical achievement but I felt it got bigger in ways that didn’t matter and failed to expand on the story and lore in any captivating way. In fact, certain story beats and introductions in the latter half of the game were bordering on terrible for me. 

Edited as I missed the mention of the narration setting. Great list!

Yeah just looking at their steamcharts info the player count spikes when they get an update. Obviously a lot of returning players but even if they get 10-20k sales during those times (and that’s just on steam, consider it more for all platforms) it’s probably a huge boon to their dev budget.

Money trumps guilt. If the money wasn’t coming in, the studio would stop working on it. Nobody on the dev team would ever pay out of pocket just because they felt like it was owed.

I do like the game well enough, not as much as other it seems based on reviews, but I feel like we still didn’t get anywhere close to the Hogwarts game I always wanted. The decision to have you be a 5th year transfer was odd from the start, and you seem to just be a mercenary rather than a student trying to learn…

However, he was fined $50,000 and suspended from the NBA for one week in 2021 for using an antisemitic slur during a Warzone livestream on his Twitch channel. Following the suspension, Leonard was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder but was immediately waived. Leonard’s been out of the NBA since, both due to his…
