Video Games 2019: Ready Go

jfc crackdown 3 lmao

By Laboured Go To PostJfc Crackdown 3 limits the PC player to 30 fps in cross-play lol

That's even more disgusting than the UN's pink agenda infesting our video games.

it's time to sell my csgo inventory, as i buy anything pink i can get. it just doesnt match up to my alt right steam usage.

I'm taking this right to the very top, Vapes m8.

Does CSGO have an MVP system? They just introduced one in Dota, but there's no incentive to vote so most matches end up with nobody being awarded it.

There's an MVP every round, but it's decided by the game itself. The system is also kind of shit, as you can do just one thing like plant the bomb (and have it explode while the other team is saving), and get the MVP, while someone killing 3 guys then won't get it. So people generally care little for it, although if you go through a game with no MVP's at all, it is a good indication that you get empty frags.

CSGO MVP system is the dumbest shit ever

Single handedly take over a site so your team can plant the bomb, but the bomb planter gets the MVP for holding his left mouse button for 3 seconds

nah the mvp system works well at motivating the bomb bitch

I picked up a PS4 on the cheap and it either hates my network or PSN operates at like a third of the speed of Xbox Live. I can't tell which.

Welcome to PSN

Have you tried yelling racial slurs?

disconnect and reconnect your internet connection until the speed improves.

Sounds like psn

By Kibner Go To PostWhat platform? I can walk you through some things on pc.

console unfortunately lol

so far i'm using a bow, there's little things that annoy me, monsters running away from me and seeming to tank so many shots being one of them--I was shooting that dumb bird who throws rocks at you so many times in the face and he took ages to die

but I like the vibe of it all

There's lots of techniques you can use with the bow. IIRC, sliding while holding the charge button lets you do both. Different bows have different shots. Piercing shots can hit a monster multiple times if they are long enough since it can go through multiple hitboxes. The move that calls down arrows from the sky has a good chance of knocking down the monster (especially if it is flying).

To stop monsters from running away, get some flashbugs and throw one out in front of the monster's face as it is trying to go away. That will stun it and probably anger it enough to come back at you. May need to repeat if it still tries to run away.

Also, using a flashbug on a flying monster will cause it to fall out the sky and give you time to wail on it.

Once you get some better gear and understand how to stack different armor bonuses on and learn how to pump out damage with your favorite weapons, that bird guy will go down in less than five minutes, if not much quicker. The tougher monsters will take 10-15 minutes to kill unless you are really good and kitted out.

Oh, I'm not sure if they ever fixed monster health scaling, but if you have two players in a mission, the monsters have the same health as if you had four. Capcom likes to think that your partner palicoes are enough to make up the difference. =/

In general, try to do the main quests as quickly as you can as features are often locked behind it. You will eventually be able to get things like a garden which will let you grow flashbugs and other useful items. Hunts go quickest if you prepare like you're batman.

Oh yeah, it's quicker to end fights if you capture the monster using either the pitfall or shock trap and hitting it with two tranq bombs. Typically, the monster will be limping when trying to run away (and may have a different cry when weakened, too) while at the threshold to capture.

If it still gets away, but is sleeping when you catch up to it, it is definitely capturable. You can throw a couple tranq bombs while it is sleeping without waking it up, letting you do an instant capture without worry about fumbling around with your inventory.

Maybe don't use the most boring weapon in the game

dark phaze went for Arsenal and bows

are you by any chance, tyrion?

Itsuno needs someone else to balance DMD. Say whatever about Kamiya and Bayonetta, but I never felt like the best option to beat something difficult, was to cheese it, in those game.

Witch time was a problem in Bayo 2. Hands down, no questions about it. In DMC5, I feel like if I'm not using Dr. Faust on DMD, I am playing myself. Fighting certain enemies, mobs, and bosses, is so fucking tedious, it saps the fun out of playing Dante: for someone of my skillset.

V just fucking sucks on DMD, straight up. I can't with how dreadful he is to play on this mode. This is beyond me.

Sy single handedly kept me from dropping this shit, on DMD. LOL. Having more fun, now that Dante's missions are actually manageable. My dumbass was trying to Royal Guard mission 12 Urizen to death. Came back with the MJ hat and scarf and killed him in like 60 seconds. Fuckkk this mode. 😂

Honestly, this game really shows it's negatives on DMD, which is a first for the series, for me. It's only great on the Very hard equivalent, where shit is actually balanced.

To be more honest, I wish I could just play through the full game as Nero. Holy shit, he's just amazing to control.

Yeah, beating the missions on DMD is doable but good luck getting s ranks on those Dante missions without cheesing in some way(Dr Faust or dashboarding no damage runs).

Fuck V though. Pure trash. I'm hoping they announce that divergence mode at e3 or something.

I'm still stuck on hell and hell mode.

If you're struggling with that shit, it might be a pass for me. Not trying to break my controller, using Dante and V. Lmao

posted on era, dont know who he is, but wouldn't shock me. shit im surprised nintendo didnt get to it before sony.

edit:

David Gibson has been reporting on Nintendo Financials for years. He's usually the source for anything coming directly from Nintendo financial briefings.

Funny thing is, I'm stuck on mission 8 with Nero.

Didn't get to what, streaming?

There's already game streaming on the Switch. The most notable is Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I won't be surprised if they open up the Switch to xCloud, Stadia, etc in the future.

A deal with MS before Sony.

By Smokey Go To PostA deal with MS before Sony.

Think so too. The rumor of a partnership between MS and Nintendo has been heavily rumored since E3 last year.

good stuff kibner

yea, only reason i went with bow was because mobility seemed wack in general and it'd be one of the easier weapons to use to hit crit spots

after having tried everything else in training, I'm intrigued by long sword and the charge sword, though i'm not quite sure how the latter weapon works--lots of ways to use it it seems

Greatsword or nothing tbh

I was long sword for a while, then bow until the endgame, then greatsword postgame

Made a start on the dual swords, but never felt like I was in control of where my attacks were taking me

By HottestVapes Go To PostWhat even is AAA now? Is it just the budget that dictates if a game is AAA or not, or the actually quality of the product?
There's tonnes of buggy af big budget releases, and there's tonnes of extremely polished games made by about 5 people. Where do we draw the line?

It's production value to me. Graphics, writing, voice acting, multiple gameplay systems and loops.

bugs are whatever. AC:Unity was buggy as hell on release but no one thinks it's not a AAA production

AAA is budget/production size, duh. They're like big hollywood blockbusters.

mortal kombat is kind of intriguing me--gameplay looks pretty good which I haven't really said about previous entrys

yikes

Cant believe Epic games store doesnt even have a shopping cart. Apparently it caused a few banks to flag purchases at EGS as fraud use.

You'd think these sort of teething problems should happen to a store helmed by a billion dollar company.

iirc, long sword is one of the highest dps weapons in the game but takes good timing and experience to use well. I think charge sword is supposed to be one of the biggest burst weapons in the game. They are both good choices, though lacking in support options.

Playing longsword but at heart I'm a hammer man

got 80 hours out of the longsword. everything else clips horrendously with your outfit.

in case anyone didnt know, they added multiplayer to garfield kart, if you opt into the beta through steam

If your weapon doesn't transform is it even a weapon

I have like 200 hours on it between ps4 and PC. Mainly have used that and both lances.

amazing play

Never, ever thought I'd say this, but I'm actually sort of enjoying Crackdown 3.

I bought it to play co-op with my wife who loves Crackdown games, but then the whole 30fps thing was so bad we just went on playing SP at the same time instead. And yeah, it's kinda repetitive and a weirdly straight-forward open world. But it's also brainlessly fun. And it's not as long as most open world games too, which is quite nice. I was honestly kinda expecting to despise it.

But the pink agenda! You’ve failed as an epic Gamer.


tbh, when you ditch the hive mind of what games are considered good and bad and just play games for the sake of playing them, you can often be pleasantly surprised that some “bad” games are quite fun.
Except Anthem, fuck that trash
