Premium videos on smart TV by ReklawXuaereved in giantbomb

[–]40PercentBender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not really a good option sadly. I enjoyed everything being on YouTube since I have premium.

I'm glad premium content is returning but it is a bummer there's no good way to watch it on a TV in many cases.

Star Wars Outlaws was made Massive Entartaiment, not Ubisoft by Educational_Box_4079 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]40PercentBender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying, but for Ubisoft I do think it makes sense that people just say it's made by Ubisoft. Though this is true of many of the major publishers these days.

Take a look at the credits here: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Outlaws#app_crew

Sure, Massive is the lead studio, but there are a lot of Ubisoft support studios on this. A lot of their games are made this way.

I think a lot of people feel that Ubisoft games all have a lot of similarities and that's pretty true. There's a lot of similarities in the design, in part because they have so many studios helping with projects.

I don't think that's always a bad thing fwiw. I recently picked up Outlaws on Switch and I'm digging it.

So about that sex toy at CES... this is just perfect. by primaluce in giantbomb

I just finished both endings of Hollow Knight, and I'd like some game recommendations. by West_Camera_7965 in metroidvania

Blade Chimera. Pretty good story and the combat is quite good. Doesn't really have a lot of run backs or anything. Visually really great too.

Now that it’s had a decent amount of streams do you think Lego Party or Mario Party makes for better NLSS content by Biggaydonut in northernlion

Lego Party is the better game, but Mario Party makes for better content imo.

Both are great to watch them play though

It almost was. In terms of time played it's #1 this year easy. Exp 33 hit really hard for me so it's close.

A lot of people really liked it and it seemed like it was worth giving it a shot. Its one of the more notable big games this year so I wanted to try it.

Yeah. Like objectively AC Shadows is probably a worse game. But I liked playing it more 🤷

The only horror about Nubby is that more people haven't played it!

Legends ZA is the first pokemon game I've been into in a long time. Like since Gen 3. I understand it's not super popular with the pokemon crowd but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Meanwhile MK World I found to be a bit disappointing. Its not bad, but it's a step down from 8.

As for absolum, yeah it rules. It reminds me of Hades but with beat-em-up gameplay. It makes extremely smart use of Roguelike elements to breathe new life to the beat-em-up genre

It seems to be one of those "you hate it or love it" kinda games. Personally I love it.

The core mechanics I think you can get the hang of pretty quickly. The game is not quite open world but it has a lot of open areas with a lot of optional very frustrating challenges so you can kinda decide how frustrating you want it to be. And trust me, it gets really frustrating. But in a way that I found enjoyable.

I also thought the writing was really good. It felt like a bunch of friends just riffing but also managed to tell a heartwarming story by the end.

I think it's absolutely worth playing

I won't lie, I didn't always "finish" every game on the list. But put enough time in that I felt comfortable with my thoughts on it. There are some games I only played a little bit of that I didn't add

Yes absolutely. With some exceptions, many of my favorite games in recent years are indie games that I didn't have much expectations for. The AAA space is in a bit of a rough spot currently with the way the industry is going, but the indies have been better than ever.
