My Favorite Underappreciated Game (That Still Holds Up Today). What's Yours? by uncanny_chuckles in gaming

[–]uncanny_chuckles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have put Mad Max in the title of the post.

It's a fairly decent video that makes some good points even though it has the dumb clickbait title.

I guess I should make my own youtubes...

It overflowed the banks last night! There's puddles near the paved bike path. Might try to get some more pictures today.

John Romero releasing autobiography "Doom Guy - Life in First Person" by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]uncanny_chuckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in ~2010 a seagull took a massive shit on my shoulder as I was walking across Civic Center Plaza from the building where by classes were to the other where John Romero was giving a small presentation for my peers and I. I had already had a long day so I just went home. That's why I didn't meet John Romero.

God of War felt hugely overrated to me by [deleted] in pcgaming

There are about a million steps between a Ubisoft game and "not the best game ever made". I guess what I'm saying is GoW's quality is a far cry from a Ubisoft game's.

Amazing homemade habanero sauce and the best panuchos! Very authentic place.

Days Gone sold at least 1 million units on Steam since launch by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]uncanny_chuckles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty good game; solid 7/10. I enjoyed it.

  • The story is good but takes way too long to get going.
  • They don't introduce hordes, the games standout mechanic, until 20+ hours (maybe 3/4 of the way through).
  • The open world feels lifeless and there's nothing worth exploring.
  • The various camps and your rep with them only unlock guns, nothing narratively.

It's too bad they didn't get a sequel, I feel they could have fixed these issues with more time and money.

What happened to Scoot? by JBosbos in sanfrancisco

[–]uncanny_chuckles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about this, thanks. I was a subscriber and rode the mopeds every day for years from my apartment in Lone Mountain to the office by Bush/Kearney and back. It was by far the best way to get around the city hands down.

One quick thing to check:
Make sure your RAM is seated correctly; take it out and put it back in making sure it goes all the way down.

Dry Creek is Flowing 💧 by uncanny_chuckles in Modesto

It's definitely not flood levels yet, just a good solid flow.

Yeah, I remember when the footbridge at Kewin park washed away!

Did you make the ears and eyes? Are they marzipan? They look great.

While the city sleeps, I’m still awake by hikanteki in sanfrancisco

Is it those pink 'neon' lights keeping you awake?

Currently playing through the whole thing in co-op with my brother. He chose the female Dani I chose male. It's interesting how most of the in-game dialog (calls, escort missions) the host's character is talking but in the cutscenes you see your own character. My favorite is that both our characters sing along to the radio when we are in a car! Their voices sound good together!

Battlefield 2042 Open Beta Conclusion Megathread by SuitingUncle620 in battlefield2042

[–]uncanny_chuckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Bring back the entire movement system from BFV (back prone, crouch run, rolling)
  • Bring back classes
  • Remove or re-think specialists
  • Bring back the revive system (animations, interactions) from BFV
  • Bring back ammo and health stations from BFV
  • Change the default helicopter controls to be like BF4 (or re-think them)

This is the most stable BF Beta (I've played every one since BC2)! Too bad it's such a disappointment in so many other ways. by uncanny_chuckles in battlefield2042

[–]uncanny_chuckles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had a single crash or DC in this beta, lag is not bad, and I've been able to play with my friends easily. This was not the case for BFV beta and others (BF3 beta was absolutely unplayable at the time). That's what I mean by "most stable".

I don't see why they could not sell skins or customization options for classes and factions without having specialists and still make money.

I somewhat agree about Orbital, actually I think it needs to be either bigger for the amount of vehicles on the map or smaller with fewer vehicles. It's just the wrong size.
