Curious to see your thoughts on 3, once you get there.
Are you talking about the different endings because I had a friend who, just had to spoil it for me.

Yes. Shame they were spoiled for you. Wonder if you're of the opinion that they were garbage

Just started Dragon Age Inquisition. What they did with loading simultaneously from the disc and the hard drive makes the frame rate horrible on my old system and there's also a lot of texture popping k :disappoint:

I just bought Skyrim Special Edition with all the DLC attached on the PC (my first time with the DLC, and I've yet to finish the game anyway)

Played it the entire day yesterday. Going to play it the entire day today more than likely. Creating unique characters to play is fun.

We've got the first one. It's fun, but the network connection kept dropping us out of matches, which soured me.

That's annoying. The first game was pretty good too. I prefer the 2nd mainly because the Switch controls > Wii U controls, but both are solid.

I got it. There's a difficulty spike when you get to the last third, but so far the game has been beautiful, frustrating, and very rewarding.

So, Transistor is amazing and I almost regret not having a decent computer 2 years ago so I would have played it already and wanted to sign up to Epi's mafia game of it.

I'm going through the New Game Plus.

It's so short though.

Also trying to nail every achievement before the second playthrough is over. So far so good, but the achivement that forces me to win 5 battles with all 10 limiters is scary.

Edit: never mind, found a broken combo online which let me do it with less than 20 game overs.

Without spoiling anything, are there any story / Easter egg / new content / etc whatever that makes it worth playing through a second time? Is it supposed to be more challenging? Basically, what's the difference?

Not really much story, but it lets you do some things that you usually don't get to finish in the first playthrough. You start the story over with whatever level you had, and keep going up. Also the process starts at the level they were in the end of the game.

Unless you did a fuckload of grinding with limiters the first time around, you probably did not get all functions (i. e. I did not get Cull and I barely got to use Void). So replaying lets you test them. Also read the character logs that come with them.

You most likely didn't do all of those oasis challenges, either.

And there are the limiters. You probably didn't get all of them (and read their logs). Considering the process is already stronger from the start, it gets ridiculous with limiters (20 enemies at once with shields and regenerations dealing 80% of your Hp every time they hit you). So there is challenge there.

So it's not really story, but gameplay.

I'm pretty sure I got all the functions and limiters and read all the backstories. I tend to be the kind of player who explores every nook and cranny of a region and tries to collect every piece of gold I can get my greedy hands on (which is probably a big reason I rarely finish games).

I'll probably replay it over the summer. It was a stellar game.

Sounds good. It's just that most people don't do it because the game gives you limited exp, so you have so abuse limiters early on to get to a level high enough to get everything.

There are another two games from this studio which sound really cool too. There is one called Pyre that got described as "Oregon Trail meets NBA"

I might play it.

I have played Bastion but have not finished it. It's fun, sort of an isometric run-and-gun deal, but not as good as Transistor.

Pyre is a title on my wish-list. I like SuperGiant Games very much.

I never finished Bastion, didn't really take to it as much but it was pretty and also had a great soundtrack of course but yeah I'm with Epi, transistor's better.

I started Pyre and likewise didn't get a ton out of it, it's pretty different though

I've played A Way Out and finished the most recent Batman Telltale game in the last like 4 days. A Way Out was so good, Batman was good as well. Both ambitious in their own ways but AWO was so so so so so so good.

So I just beat Brutal Legend, 9 years after its release.

This game is probably the biggest and boldest challenge I've ever seen to the concept that Gameplay > All. The gameplay is... okay at best. It wants to be an RTS/Action hybrid, with elements of sandbox and car games, and it fails to justify why that combination is even a good idea, ending up with an RTS that is a little too shallow, and at the same time an action game that is a little too simple, and a focus on competitive multiplayer that failed because the multiplayer community apparently died in 2011.

(though from what I've read this is less the fault of the studio and more of EA, who was against the RTS thing from the start and pushed the studio to rush the release since they just wanted a cheap game that capitalized on the heavy metal thing for marketing)

But when you take out the gameplay and look at the aesthetic part... HOLY SHIT. The game is a masterpiece, through and through. Everything is a love letter to heavy metal culture, with attention to detail, and little bits and pieces that make the game feel more alive and more badass, from famous singer dubbing characters that were designed after them, to landmarks in the overworld that remind you of metal album covers, to the names of attacks and enemies, to the very creative plot. There is a great sense of pleasure in just hopping into your monster car, tuning on Black Sabbath, and roaming the field, mowing down emos and glam metal groupies with a machine gun, doing quests to deliver beer or playing a guitar solo to melt the faces of your enemies (literally). Once you get used to the mediocre gameplay, you want to play it just to get to the next section of the story, because the cutscenes and exploring new map make it worth it.

9/10. Give me a sequel plz.

So in the past week or so i've beaten Danganronpa: THH and Danganronpa2: Goodbye Despair and it as an enjoyable experience overall. Im currently watching Danganronpa 3 which is the next part in the series but its an anime only

the game boils down to murder mystery at it's core and is enjoyable to play even through all the dying of everyone. 10/10 would recommend for any mafia lover.

bonus: wanted to [mention]Infected_alien8_[/mention] because I have Hajime as my avatar now

Puhuhuhuhuhu

i'm playing multiple games as i dont waste time if i get stuck in a game

right now concentrating on Arcana Gothic 4 for xbox 360 which is cool as it has aspects of dishonored with locating pieces of artifacts. Has the feel of two worlds with a main quest story line and side quests do on the side. The ability to save and having autosave points is also good
