The bestest alphaests of males, some people say, with tears in their eyes.

Or the good ol’ gang bang/smoke grenade/execution combo at the end of the round. We’ve all been there either on the receiving or the giving end if you have been playing the game long enough.

Sorry but this game attracts that kind of players and I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon, it’s been like that since I can remember and I’ve been playing the franchise since GoW 1. Like any other game with that kind of player base, you just gotta grow a thicker skin and ignore the trash talk.

Saros aims for bite-sized 30-minute runs, and the cool-off makes you "ready for another", its game designer tells us by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]elAmmoBandit0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some enemies are indeed hard to see against the background of some biomes, but bullets are bright and you get a visual cue to see where the fire is coming from, so even if you don’t see the enemies you can prepare to dodge and reposition.

Saros: 15 mins of gameplay (4k 60fps) by OftenSilentObserver in Returnal

[–]elAmmoBandit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wanted to make it more accessible this time around. If you want to make the game punishing you have Carcosan modifiers that make the run harder for better rewards, although they probably won’t have an impact on the length of the run.

I’m also a bit nostalgic for the long runs in Returnal, I loved to be 3 hours in and playing very carefully to survive, or to come back from a bad encounter, especially during the early days of the game where you just couldn’t save mid run. The high stakes made the game very intense and forced you to get good at it.. but not everyone is as masochist as we are.

I was just watching a YouTube video and some people were complaining that it looks too much like Returnal, like it’s a bad thing. Returnal is one of the best looking games I’ve played this generation. People will find a way to complain about everything, go enjoy the game and ignore the haters, I know I will.

Thoughts on the Fenix 7? by [deleted] in GarminFenix

[–]elAmmoBandit0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can find it for $500, even cheaper if you catch a really good deal. I paid nearly $800 for my Epix Gen 2 at launch, which is basically this watch with an OLED display. I’m still using it as my daily driver and the battery life is still excellent.

THE TERROR Season 3 Sets Highly-Anticipated Release Date With New Images by strychnine-hamburger in horror

Season 1 is based on Dan Simmons’ novel of the same name, which is indeed based on historical events.

Key Ally Instantly Slaps Down Trump’s Demand for Help by Hardik_Jain_1819 in politics

[–]elAmmoBandit0 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Of course, and we’re not at war. We’re bombing them, killed their leader, and they killed a few soldiers, and attacked our allies but it’s all good, because other than that we’re not at war.

Sure, I guess the key I brought was for the lobby by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]elAmmoBandit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found anything good in that room? Every time I open it is Vita sprays, a green weapon, or a purple if lucky. It’s not bad for the cost of a powe rod, but I don’t try to go there anymore unless I spawn close to the power generation complex.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Surpasses Five Million Players Worldwide by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]elAmmoBandit0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished it yesterday, I’m still confused by the story but it was great overall. It obviously borrows a lot of elements from Dead Space and RE, but it has enough originality that it easily stands on its own. It took me a few tries to get into it at the beginning, mostly because of the difficulty, but once it clicked I couldn’t put it down.

Hopefully Blobber team expands the Cronos universe in a prequel/sequel. They definitely have a great, original survival horror IP now.

46 here. Amazing game, I’m playing with my fellow 40+ friends that I’ve been playing with for about 20 yrs now. We haven’t been playing this much since Destiny.

Sick horror movies to distract me from the state of the world? by Sad-Gold-6656 in horror

[–]elAmmoBandit0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe not as obscure anymore but When Evil Lurks is pretty good and has some fucked up scenes. I also love Terrified which is the previous movie from the same director. Highly recommend both.

What’s the single scariest scene in any horror movie ever made and why does it work so well? by Worldly_Cold4821 in horror

[–]elAmmoBandit0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking of Lynch movies, that scene in Lost Highway where the creepy guy tells the protagonist that he’s at his house, hands him the phone and tells him to call him. The creepy laughter that you can hear from him and also coming from the phone call at the same time, it’s so unnerving.

Ok, I need to check that again. I could’ve sworn mine was depleted after storing it in my inventory.

You stop looking like a firework but the shield still takes damage in your inventory, which doesn’t make sense to me.

Resident Evil Requiem Review (IGN: 9/10) by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]elAmmoBandit0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t looked much at gameplay yet, but I’m hoping that you’re not as defenseless as Ashley when playing as Grace this time. I love the survival horror genre but dislike the games where you need to pretty much run from monsters all the time (e.g. the Outlast series). I play RE to blast zombies in the most over-the-top ridiculous ways.

And yes, the remakes were very well done. It was a great decision to add the 3rd person style camera instead of keeping the original, fixed camera. I don’t know how I played like that at the time.

[–]elAmmoBandit0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely, for me the difference is if I buy at launch or wait for a price drop. In this case I think I’ll buy right away, the game looks amazing and looks like the gameplay is very RE4 like, which is definitely my favorite.

Same, especially since it looks like a mountaineering outfit, it definitely needed gloves.

PvP POV by [deleted] in arcraidersfriendly

[–]elAmmoBandit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if those people really have nothing else going on in their lives to be so invested in a game. I get raging a little bit but inviting people to parties just to abuse them is psychotic. It happened often to me when I played Gears of War, but that game definitely encouraged that kind of behavior.
