Reading Something Awful Star Citizen thread.
How on earth do we have these guys seem so level headed when any thread on Era on the subject is like reading a cult in the making.

By Punished Go To PostDo the SNES games on Switch work offline?Yes, you only need to check in online every 7 days.
Edit: I'm one lazy bastard. The answer is yes.
By Freewheelin Go To PostDead Cells is pretty cool so far, just downloaded it from Gamepass
Saw gameplay of that when it was early access, looked fun. Might get it later.
By s y ngmi Go To Postsquare knows how to get people's money
its a good thing for square that most people havent played ff7 so they can cash in on the 2 parts that people know of it
it's been 22 years and Cloud still hasn't got a decent haircut
should also probably get rid of so many black stereotypes in a character that is Barret
it's 2019

By rodeoclown Go To PostThe checkpoints in Gears 5 are bugged. I've lost progress three different times. The first two I was lucky, but I just now lost 20 minutes. More than a little frustrating.
Imagine replaying gears. It's barely tolerable the first time.
By Flutter Go To PostReading Something Awful Star Citizen thread.As a follower of that thread (and long time SA member), a lot of goons were large investors the first couple years of the project. They eventually became critical of the project in various ways, at least one got involuntarily refunded, and then it just became a source of comedy about how bad of a game development (but excellent money collector) the Star Citizen project is.

There are absolutely a bunch of insane goons but in general they're a lot better about handling things than era.
Started on Children of Morta earlier. Gorgeous pixel art, love the narration, combat seems promising.
Do I really need to jump through hoops, to get my game footage off of an Xbox One? I can plug anything into my PS4, and it just works. Wtf is this?

By Smokey Go To PostHmm?
I ended up just transferring it to One Drive. It didn't like my portable hard drive, nor anything else I wanted to use.
Didn't realize the quality was so damn bad, either, smh.
By s y ngmi Go To Postplacing my bet that MS makes online play free on Xbox starting next gen.How much do you want to bet?
By s y ngmi Go To Postplacing my bet that MS makes online play free on Xbox starting next gen.They have no reason to make online free. People have been paying for online play in the Xbox ecosystem for 17 years. They won the battle on that one, since everybody else charges for it now, too.
Also, they just rolled out a subscription that includes Live and Game Pass in one. It's not going anywhere.

I bet Nintendo finally drops the console and starts 3rd party software too

Really hope the next Elder Scrolls game figures out a smoother way to access your weapons and abilities on the fly. The favourites list is shit, completely destroys any desire I'd have had to use magic, shout or vampire abilities.
Just switching between melee and bow is a pain in the arse.

The favourites list is shit, completely destroys any desire I'd have had to use magic, shout or vampire abilities.I dunno how you went with melee, it was too clunky for me and the animations weren't satisfying enough, if that make sense. At least with magic there was an element of strategy and the mage guild storyline seemed interesting.

and as expected, there was a dark path to be taken.
I just want to smash my way through the dungeons with as few pauses as possible tbh
With better ability switching I'd have liked to try a stealth/dagger/necromancy build. The vampire controls are beyond shit, everything is assigned to the list and R1 when they've left 2 (3?) of the face buttons unused.
edit: seems I can assign two things to left and right on the dpad, swear the tutorial skipped that

Ah, I don't remember pausing much. Crowd control spells, shields, heal etc. Can't be arsed to make arrows or upgrade my equipment in these kinda games.
I think I stopped midway through the game, for no particular reason as I was quite enjoying it. Skyrim was just my side bitch till something better came along. The quests were truly awful though
By EldritchTrapStar Go To Postnot gonna lie this killed literally all remaining interest I had in gears
Whewww, I'm having fun, on insane.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostInterest rising....
Whewww, I'm having fun, on insane.
The cloak in Gears 5 really is a ton of fun to use. Any encounter that lets me choose how to engage always starts with me running up on three or four dudes while cloaked and stabbing them all.
Really, all of the Jack abilities are great. The side quests are all worth doing because his ultimate abilities are just crazy.

finally hit the time jump in three houses.
pretty much everything that happened in the black eagles story was super predictable. I chose Edelgard mainly cause the only people I dislike more than her are Rhea and Seteth. I would like to think that if you chose Rhea she is still some bad dragon but I am sure she isn't and that every route is the correct choice

By jjasper Go To Postfinally hit the time jump in three houses.She's a morally ambiguous dragon if you pick Golden deer.

Seems like you would have a complete lack of context about what is going on with blue lions or golden deer
The choice at the end of Gears 5 is messed up.
I couldn't let JD die. I couldn't do that to Marcus. he's already lost everything else.

Jack's powers are a lot of fun to use. Kinda feels like Crysis lite. By no means are they an instant win tho.

I hated this decision more than the one in Resident Evil 7. It managed to somehow feel even more unearned. At least, in RE, Ethan was shady enough to make the choice more palatable.
JD fucks off for 90% of the game, while Del was with her, through literally all of Kait's struggle. JD's development happened off screen. Marcus had to hold that. Del was the actual homie.
Couldn't help but to take advantage of 2 dollar game pass and pick up gears 5. Plugged my PC up to my 4k set and whew....they not playing no games. The tech is going crazy shit in the background to try to keep a seamless 60 fps lock too.
Gameplay feels like the first sequel in years with some really smart improvements.

By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI hated this decision more than the one in Resident Evil 7. It managed to somehow feel even more unearned. At least, in RE, Ethan was shady enough to make the choice more palatable.I see that and it was my initial reaction, too. But after pausing and thinking for a second, I went the other way.

I think saving JD actually sets up 6 to give him real, meaningful redemption and also gives the ending of 5 a sweet moment between JD and Marcus that they hardly ever have. It's alluded to that Marcus was kind of an absent father (Just like his dad. It's like poetry, it rhymes.) and they finally have a moment of understanding, since Marcus dealt with it with Dom, too. Their hug cut me deep.
I guess it's more because I considering the overall saga to be about the Fenix family. Del is the good friend, through everything with Kait, but it's not his fight, really, and it's more meaningful to me to have the Fenix clan try and end the Swarm conflict together.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostGameplay feels like the first sequel in years with some really smart improvements.Yeah, it's best in the series. It has the usual weight and feel, but the tweaks to the aiming and feel of the guns set it apart. Being able to score headshots with the lancer, for instance, feels awesome and Jack's abilities give the player choice in how they choose to attack a lot of the encounters for the first time.
I adore the open sections in, too. It gives such a nice break from the usual Gears rollercoaster, while also still giving them room for some cool set pieces, like later in Act III. I think they can definitely stand to improve it for 6, like just making more content for the world, but it's real good.
