Stadia is a stupid name. Isn't that the sweetener sugar haters put in their coffee?


Would require perfect/flawless/fast internet connection to be viable, right? I mean, my experience with mulitplayer/pvp says we are not even close in the regards. I suppose it would be ok for single player games, maybe?

I'd advise watching the stream or some summary, like digitals foundry's.

Supposedly, with a 20 mbit connection and above the latency is no greater than the latency between your console and controller or at least not significantly so.

If other players are also playing via Stadia the lag will be imperceptible.

If this tech works the way they promise, forget about PS5 and X-box whatever, this jumps way past that in pure power and game size.

Now Microsoft has to go back to the drawing board and make their next hi-power box 15 teraflops.

Well perturb my pissflaps, a pervert? Here?!?!

Konami announcing a bunch of remaster collections, including Contras and Castlevanias, coming to all platforms, including PC.

Fingers crossed they get to MGS collection next.

So you can use the Burial Blade in New Game once you've played with the other available weapons? I included the rest in case someone else wanted to try an early weapon - like getting the Chikage before Logarius - even if I probably wouldn't myself, but hiding such a cool weapon behind the majority of the game is a crime.

Also it might persuade people to give the chalice dungeons another go so they can fight some of the unique bosses there, some of them are really cool and others are utter bullshit YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU GIANT HOT DOG

I thought the Chalice dungeons were fun, though that fire dog really got to me with its bullshit.

[Illuyankas]

Yeah I'm really glad I got the pizza cutter because it helped so much with its bullshit (more like whirligreat saw)

of course it wasn't nearly as helpful on fucking arms for swords guy* as the true mentor, the guiding moonlight~





*Amygdala is such a piece of cake on the first try that you never learn its patterns as you don't need to, which comes back to bite you in the ass when it has a million times the health and you have half of yours - same with the hot dog come to think of it

Oh shit that's out soon isn't it, I've been finishing off my current OU module and haven't kept tabs

Gonna get that when I can, heck year

memba this? That opening used to get me. All the sounds of anguish and screaming. And then the way he says "the Wanderer". Properly freaked me out at the time.

Humble Bundle is giving out Tacoma for free. Gonna check to make sure I don't own it yet, and then probably grab a GOG code.

Blizzard's cinematics have always been amazing.

I remember being blown away by the teaser for Warcraft 3 where an infernal falls from the sky and kill an orc and human who were fighting to the death.

BLOODLINES 2 IS A THING THAT IS HAPPENING

I will pre-order the shit out of this once I get my tax return.

Given it's no 2 best-selling on Steam right now (a year before the release), don't see that happening.

Also, Paradox doesn't have as much console presence. They really can't afford to alienate PC gamers the way other publisher involved with Epic might.
Also also, they are already stressing mod support as big part of it. And EGS only has a roadmap for those.
Lastly, worse comes to worse, I'll buy it for the Paradox launcher,

ETA: if Cyberpunk also releases in 2020, AND Outer Worlds will be out of the 1 year paid beta (that's what these Epic exclusivity periods are to me now), it could be the best year for RPGs, ever.

Yeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

After they cancelled the CCP WOD MMO, I was worried we might not get another World of Darkness game for some time. God I hope this delivers. WANT.

There is also a Werefolf: the Apocalypse RPG in development, but that one's gone dark when the devs (Cyanide, the makers of the AGOT RPG and Of Orcs and Men & the Styx games) got bought by BigBen. The supposed publisher, Focus Home, tried to buy Cyanide, but they went with BigBen (a diff French publisher), and it got a bit messy. Focus Home removed the game from the list of their upcoming titles, and Cyanide sez that BigBen is publishing it now, but I haven't heard anything official in ages.

But yeah, Paradox is pretty keen on making WhiteWolf IPs, so I'm hopeful.

I liked that the planned expansion for Bloodlines 2 includes Werewolves as enemies. Gives me hope that this game might spawn or grow into a bigger WoD experience.

Went for a female Nord in Skyrim. Might go for sword and shield type with high damage protection. Dunno. Will probably make it up as I go along haha

DMC 5 is fantastic. Very fluid and all my old favorite combos are back with some new twists!

Exceed, colour up, streak, Max-act, combo c, lock onto biggest foe, combo b, Blue rose, blue rose, air hike, shuffle, split, Devil breaker, blue rose.

A friend is playing with auto assist on! I'm trying to work out a way to show off my utter disdain and contempt for him in a way that lets him still know I value our friendship despite him being trash.
