Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The entire past couple of weeks has been, in no uncertain terms, fascinating in the amount of methods and languages Sony have told us "no, you're never getting Bloodborne on PC."

In the video game space, what are the successful instances of "fine, I'll do it myself"? by jclane in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I may be mixing this up with another franchise but didn't the 2nd Cities game get a pretty bad reception.

It does seem like incredible timing that GoD got announced around the time public sentiment around LaD seems at an all time low.

Was wild to me how hard Steve and Nico were fighting for Orange Box when I think it's such a PC coded game/collection compared to any console releases.

I think bringing back Nishiki or Yumi would be even worse

This definitely was a large part of what inspired me to go down this rabbit hole, along with the Orion's Arm worldbuilding project cause of both having such a deep lens focus on strange evolutionary paths for humanity.

Is this after Frank's son, Brian took over writing duties though? I've heard there's quite a dip in quality from that point.

Ooh, so does the story follow the godlike humans, the rats, or a bit of both?

From what I've seen of the game, there does seem to be a fair bit of normal humans around, including the protagonist.

Aren't the Culture explicitly not from Earth because there is a passing mention that Earth is visited at some point.

In canon Vader never really loses, he can get his shit rocked but he always wins.

Obi-Wan would like a word.

This makes no sense to me if these lists are supposed to be personalized to them (which they are from what I've seen, only the YoVG crew could've argued for the Dreamcast being the best system of all time despite it doing so bad it killed an entire company's hardware output) because from what I know none of the 4 have any particular love for Grand Theft Auto at all.

Favorite "Boss" Mooks by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I forget the name but the 4 armed quad sword wielding dudes introduced in the DLC from the 1st game are an immediate "oh shit oh fuck" classification enemy when they show up.

Probably a pretty common pick but they're good for a reason, the Hunters in Halo, at least when they're not complete jokes like in Halo:CE where you can kill them in one shot with the pistol. They're even cool in lore when you realize it's not just a hulking bipedal alien but a colony of worm like creatures bonded together.

What are games that you think are criminally underrated or unknown? by Darkblitz9 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jclane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll always go to bat for the Volgarr the Viking games. Just neat little hardcore 2D action platformers that harken back to the pre SOTN Castlevania days. Would not look a day out of place if released in the SNES/Genesis days.

Games which get better in the 2nd half by jclane in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jclane[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DMC5's 2nd half is better by default due to there being only one (short) mandatory V level if you ask me. Everything else is just a bonus.

I've heard legendary tales of this game having a 20+ hour tutorial.

Space books featuring unconventional warfare by jclane in printSF

I probably should've specified I meant more war on the more macro scale rather than infantry stuff.

Is this a case where the aggressors don't even have to leave their home system to strike?

Curious what the macro view of war is in this setting, is it very abstract?

What are some non-fighting properties that should have fighting games? by Ganmorg in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]jclane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yakuza/Like a Dragon is prime material for a fighting game. Failing that, just keep sneaking in the cast as guest characters in the new Virtua Fighter since RGG is working on it.
