  That’s a lot of fucking power for a “feature” I wanna avoid like the plague.

  Arkane used to be one of my favorites. They were amazing at creating games full of scenarios you could tackle in a variety of ways, where creative use of the tools and powers available was rewarding and fun. When they announced a multiplayer title I was excited to see how they would adapt this formula to encourage teamwork in a similarly simulated environment, but what we got seemed like it was built by an entirely different group of people. Maybe it was, I’m sure the staff changed over time, and maybe that’s the problem with development studios having a reputation instead of the people behind it. Either way, what they made was universally panned, to the point that it’s now killed this legendary name in gaming. What I ask now is why we would want a single player version of this thing, that seems to be a perversely messed up version of what they used to make. It was developed to be cooperative, and in doing so cut the elements that made their single player adventures so engaging. At best, its a shadow of what could have been. I get the merits of making this still playable for those who own it, but are they really coming back to play it more, or is this just for the principle of the thing? I guess it doesn’t matter, but it’s sad to see this as the end of Arkane. I wish we could have got a decent sequel to Prey or Dishonored instead. Maybe its good they didn’t shit on one of those franchises instead. I hope someone shits on the executive that ruined Arkane.

  I like the deck and am thinking about the dock for it, but the controller thing is something I’m wondering about. Any idea if it can handle 3-4 of them wirelessly? I mainly want to put it on the tv for local co op or party games, but I usually use ps4 controllers and have found their bluetooth is awful on PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After promising free DLC forever to some players, Escape from Tarkov locks a new PvE mode behind $250 edition⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now this is some grade A bullshit right here. I haven’t played this game in ages, so all the extra crap in a $150 edition is news to me. Good god I would never ever buy that, but these people that did have every right to be pissed. The verbal gymnastics these guys are doing to pretend this doesn’t count as DLC is just absurd. Asking $100 for ANY PvE game is ridiculous at best. Tacking that on in addition to a $150 price tag is so bonkers I need to go buy a thesaurus to continue describing it. WTF. Who the hell is buying this!!! Whhhhyyyyyy???

  Its kind of crazy they will actually raise the price for this. Last I played it was janky as hell, looks over 10 years old, and at this point it’s been mostly forgotten about. If you haven’t bought it by now I don’t think a price increase is going to grab a lot of new customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Check out the Humble Heroines Bundle with A Plague Tale: Innocence, Chorus and more⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played some of these.

  A Plague Tale was good, it had some interesting puzzle elements and stealth sections that I enjoyed. The major thing through out is using fire and other environmental elements to manipulate guards, rat swarms, and some mechanisms in order to proceed. One of these days I’ll snag the sequel.

  Chorus was pretty great to me, although I got a little tired of it by the end. The main thing here is getting through the beginning until you get your powers. When you do you can basically pull a drift maneuver that lets you rotate freely in space and then accelerate in whatever direction you’re facing. This allows for some major tight turns and being able to shoot sideways as you pass enemies and continue shooting at their backside as you continue floating the other way. Further powers grant even more maneuvers later. This was really fun to me because it eliminates the circling around that so many flight games suffer from, and really let me fly differently. Really sets it apart from any other flying games I’ve played.

  Metal: Hellsinger is a lot like BPM, with its own changes. I need to play more of this, but if you’re a metal fan the soundtrack is pretty cool and gets more intense the better you play. Shooting to the beat is tough, but doing every action (dash, reload, special) to the beat really takes practice.
