Wonder how Horizon 2 will handle the story
The past stuff in the first game was far more interesting than the present, and it was pretty much wrapped up by the end.

By Hitch Go To PostWonder how Horizon 2 will handle the storyI'm wondering about that as well. The core story, peeling back the layers of the machine mystery, was the main attraction for me beside combat. They might try to make it more of a character-driven narrative this time around, which doesn't fill me with confidence, seeing how I'm struggling to remember a single compelling character from HZD.

Alloy felt like a newly created clone that needs to be filled in, which kind of made sense in the end, a not particularly interesting husk of a human being, with 'strong will' as the only noteworthy attribute. Sylens was alright I guess, there's bound to be more there, but they'd have to turn him up to eleven to make him work as a proper antagonist. Bring him into the limelight, so to speak, he was way too passive and chill in Zero Dawn.
Hopefully the whole thing won't feel like a long, drawn-out side-quest.
By Fenderputty Go To PostBiome 5 down … man … hollow seeker with portal beam and waves whewIf you can get serrated and portal turret as well? Enemies are merely a distraction

By Hitch Go To PostWonder how Horizon 2 will handle the storyI'm guessing it builds on the Hades/Sylens story since he was in the first trailer, but all that stuff totally sucks. The main quest in that game about the warring peoples is wildly uninteresting.

But, yeah when you find out the implications of Project Zero Dawn, it's truly horrifying.
what layers peeling are you guys even talking about
that info dump section was like straight up flaying, just downright terrible.

By Yurtlicious Go To Postwhat layers peeling are you guys even talking aboutWhich info dump? There's one of those missions every couple hours. Climb ruins, watch long cutscene about the past, repeat.

The Series X doesn’t allow for VRR and 120hz simultaneously on a monitor. SMOKEY?!
Edit: Logitech headsets don’t work either. GOD DAMN IT SMOKEY!

By aka Espi Go To PostSmokey busy moving in. Gotta ask again in a monthI don’t need him to answer for this sin, I’m just disappointed he has lead me astray.
In other news, BLACK is on gamepass. Still have fond memories of playing that on the PS2.
By Yurtlicious Go To Postwhat layers peeling are you guys even talking aboutIt's been a while so I don't remember all the details, but you were definitely fed lots of hints and pieces of the puzzle leading up to the big reveal. I especially enjoyed looking for Vantages and the story bits you got from that, it felt really rewarding, unlike some (most?) of the other side activities. Obviously they had to save the big hits for that one section of the game, but to me it didn't feel dump-y at all. And it hit me right in the feels.

The more I think about it ... it's probably my favourite story in a modern open world game.

hey a Switch game is fine by me ;_; anything
By cRrusheR Go To Postwhy does it say you quoted me
By Pennywise Go To PostYeahhhh it’s a spotty experience. Music sounds like it’s coming from the other side of a wall
@Yurt
By domino Go To PostYeahhhh it’s a spotty experience. Music sounds like it’s coming from the other side of a wallSwitch to Japanese VA or none at all pls.
English is jokes, I don't like how they played the characters at all, one switched from enigmatic to...bratty ;_;
By post-sy Go To Postare these(taken from the xbox conference banner) supposed to be MP skins for Halo Infinite?It's showing the redesigned armor options that they have in the multiplayer. It's on purpose because of all the criticism that they got for their awful H4 and H5 armor sets.
Would any of the PC lads like a copy of Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition for steam? I've got a spare one that could use a good home. First to quote
OH right! I forgot
don't side with any faction and try to finish the Kalpas, if you want to fight more bosses and get the true ending :3
but hey, more Nioh, I guess.

By post-sy Go To Postfinal DLC in nioh 2 is kinda disappointing with how little main missions there are.I hated it. No weapon too lol..
but hey, more Nioh, I guess.
I put off replaying Metro Exodus. Went with trying out Chivalry 2’s beta and starting a fresh game in Cyberpunk.
Chivalry 2 feels trash with a pad. The motions you need to make to be efficient at combat just don’t feel natural at all with a controller to me. Probably not gonna get into this with the fams like we’d planned to after playing it.
Cyberpunk still looks cummy. I’ve got a few mods on, better car handling, something that fixes a few bugs with perks and another to make the UI more OLED friendly. I’m also playing with the majority of the HUD turned off, and despite being made with a minimap in mind I’m surprised at how easy it is to navigate around to different destinations without checking the main map. Usually I find turning the minimap off leads to frustration in games without a minimap/dotted line to follow.
So far I’m liking it more now, and I already liked it when I played it in December.

it's been on offer for a bunch of days already in vape's steam key thread. Sending it your way zabo.
By Yurtlicious Go To Posthow was it?It was an overall enjoyable experience, but I didn't love it. Couldn't even tell you why exactly, probably because the world and story never fully clicked with me ... and because at the end of the day it's a shooter. It felt too basic, despite all the effort they put into opening up the levels, as well as suit and weapon upgrades.
I guess the Metro series just isn't for me. Wouldn't mind revisiting it for at least a couple of hours in full RTX glory tho, if I can ever buy a GPU again.

Ah, I see Children Of Morta has already been taken. I guess my bro will have to buy his own copy, if they ever actually add the online coop mode they promised. We've been waiting for over a year.
I don’t remember the soundtrack, Condemned was great though. Right up until they shit it at the end with the supernatural shite.

Shadow Warrior 3 is probably one of the artistically ugliest looking games in development right now. Seriously. The visual designers need to be slapped across their faces.
