What are you playing?

There’s plenty of room to expand things without locking content and doing so in insultingly greedy fucking ways/designing game aspects around purchase power/economically incentivizing a pay to win mechanic or even the stupid ass cosmetic marketplace crap.

don't you dare talk ill about my ability to dress up my stupid dudes in stupid things Russell. It's the only thing I like to do in games anymore. I blame Saint's Row 2 and their fucking hot dog suits.

[Captain Russ]

Hahahahaha

But we didn't have to pay for access to said hotdog suits.

[Abraham Smashington]

True that. Man that game was so much fun multiplayer.

[Captain Russ]

It was a different time.

Now you can have the same experience, but only if you buy the season pass, and then the expansions that add back in all of the endgame content the studio cut from the initial release, and best of all, you'll have to gamble in our virtual casino to gain access.*

I like when games I enjoy keep being enjoyable and giving me new content.

I'm not arguing against that, but fuck man, does everything have to take ungodly amounts of time AND require crazy ass PVP shit to get? Just tiring of the absurdly long grinds.

Downloaded the Modern Warfare beta this morning on PC and jesus. I really do have to build a new rig from the ground up soon. Pretty much all new big games have been defaulting me to low graphics settings, and Modern Warfare is basically laughing at me.

[Abraham Smashington]

Lol.

[Captain Russ]

Blasphemous is goodish. Fun to see pixel art done so well but sometimes the hit/stagger sticks and the platforming can be tedious with how your dude the Penitent One is obviously a white man who cannot jump to save his dumb edgelord ass. The amount of backtracking and lack of legend for specific items (chests, quest items, weird cherubs in glass housings,etc) becomes a chore toward the end of play when you’re wanting to wrap that gavel up, B.

Save it for a sale, but prepare to get pissed when you lose to a shitty SAM in the form of some thrown item or floating exploding head that drops your ass into the void/spike trap below.

Also, some of the cut scenes remind me of earlier years of South Park when they were throwing stilted animation and gore around.

Kinda uneven but worth a go if you like the Vania mechanics and would rather spend your time in Edgelord Inquistion Land than go outside.

Hmmmm, mine handled it just fine.

I finally loaded Control and that shit is rad.

[Abraham Smashington]

It's pretty fun. Picked up Link's Awakening on the Switch. Love the art style. Would love it more if the framerate was better.

Trying to burn through Bloodstained before my 2 months of free PC Game Pass expire. Pretty good so far, definitely giving me DS Castlevania flashbacks in the best way possible

[Abraham Smashington]

Bloodstained is great. It's no Symphony of the Night, but it's freaking close.

I just watched some footage of this and that pixel art is gorgeous. Will definitely check it out when it's on sale. Hadn't heard of it prior to this post.
