BF2S Forums The "All Other Games" Chat Thread

People were upset you played as a muscular girl who had a weird sex scene too. and I heard the story was bad. Didn't play much of the first.

I read the story on Wikipedia. It seemed fine.

I've seen a bunch of headlines about how disappointing it was to fans of the first one.

I know it's a future-y setting and has Keanu Reeves, but I have no idea what else is exciting about it. Granted, I've never been much of a futuristic techno-dystopia fan, but what selling points does it even have?

Ah, that does explain the hype more, I guess. The Witcher 3 is like Breaking Bad to me. It's quite good, but I wouldn't agree with popular conceptions that it's "the best". There's a lot of repetitiveness in it and the map, while large, has swathes of just empty space. Likewise, it has many "open-ended" quest choices or skill trees, but they're not exactly balanced so the majority of the time you'll pick ____ unless you're doing some weird, specific route. One of the DLCs had a questline that was very interesting and charming compared to much of the base game, though, and the other has a much nice atmosphere.

When talking about RPGs like this or Fallout or Mass Effect, I generally want to get everything out of the way in one playthrough and then never revisit it because it's a pain in the balls. Skyrim is the one exception that I beat multiple times with different characters and builds, though that game also had its issues.

he was talking about david icke's anti-semitic conspiracy theories for like 20 minutes before he went offline.

with that said, they signed a multi-million dollar several year deal with him recently. i wonder if there's some sort of legal manoeuvring going on.

never watched him and honestly could not give a fuck about twitch or streaming generally.

his latest book which is inevitably a rehash of lizard people/global illuminati stuff yeah.

he has been certifiably insane since about the 1980s. he went on live television and told the host he was jesus reincarnate. very textbook case.

Dilbert, is there something you've been hiding about yourself that you'd like to share with the rest of us?

Wall running can be a bit of a gimmick anyway. I don't really get the feeling that losing it is going to doom the game. Maybe they couldn't figure out how to balance it with their map layout, or it was causing too many other balance issues with traits or abilities.

I wonder what that "lot of flexibility" is, though. Jump-jets. Bat-grapples? Hoverboards?

I would consider Day of Dragons to be a better example of a slow moving disaster.

I bought Red Dead II in the Steam sale cause I've had an itch to play in that setting for a while now. I've been naming my horses after varieties of cheeses.

I played the old one and it's fun for a couple hours. My brother got super into it despite all sorts of broken-ass game elements and frustrations. Sounded like Bannerlord had some issues at launch, too.

Has anyone played Dead by daylight?
