The answer is likely - no.

Are you saying stock is available?

It's been available on and off since release day. It's an in demand commodity. If people don't put any effort into trying to get one at this stage in the console lifecycle, I'm not sure they have a legit complaint about not being able to get one.

[Malankazooie]

Uh, so, put me in coach, I'm ready?

I've been thinking about giving Xbox Game Pass for PC a try and am wondering if anyone here is using it? I was going to buy Wasteland 3 whilst it's in the Steam/GOG sales but I noticed it's on the Game Pass list as well. Quite a few other games on there that I want to play, too (and quite a few that I've already bought, as well, sadly).

Some people have been complaining that the Windows gaming app is pretty awful, especially when it comes to resources allocation and installing extra crap on people's PCs that's extremely hard to remove (extra user files, not bloatware); which can be a problem if a AAA game isn't working properly;

Aside from that, it feels like a pretty amazing value; I haven't made the plunge myself, cuz I'm too deep in the GOG ecosystem, and most of GamePass' cool non-AAA stuff end up there as well, and i'd rather pay a bit extra to own it forever.

[Serenity]

Thanks! Yes, I completely understand that feeling. I watched a review last night that was saying about the issues with the app, too, so I think I'll probably wait for a bit. It's not like I haven't got enough to play at the moment, anyway, and the three games I've bought most recently in Steam and GOG sales (Phoenix Point, Gears Tactics, Desperados 3) are all available through Game Pass, so if I was going to try it those would've been good opportunities. I'll keep my eye on it.

Indiana Jones game announced:

For those unfamiliar with the names, it's being developed by the studio that made the recent, well made and well received Wolfenstein games and it's being directed by Todd Howard of Elder Scrolls fame.

This project is in good hands.

Did you guys see that announcement that The Division developer (Ubisoft Massive?) will work on a Star Wars game with Lucasfilm Games? I think I saw something recently about Disney and Lucasfilm and video games. This must be the first big announcement?

[Aptorian]

I think there was another one. But it escapes my mind.

I am so fed up hearing about TLoU2 that i dont ever want to play it.

[Aptorian]

You shouldn't, it's a terrible story.

[Tiste Simeon]

I'm definitely still playing it I don't care.

[Malankazooie]

I would just add my part and say play TLoU2 and make up your own mind, which really is what you should do anyway, so nothing ground breaking with that advice.

What has been said about the game, +/- , has been gone over ad nausea (and probably will continue to). I place it up there as one of the wholly unique and satisfying video game experiences I've had on the PS4/XBone console generation. It also was one of the most enervating experiences I've had playing a video game. I don't think I'm alone in feeling the conflict in love/hate the game leaves you with. My final takeaway on it all is The Last of Us Part II is a game worth experiencing.

I've managed to avoid any actual story spoilers from TLOU2 so I'm quite happy to just experience it whenever I get the game.

[Aptorian]

You fools! You don't understand what you're doing!

Massive is also supposed to be working on an Avatar game, iirc

[Malankazooie]

When / if you do play The Last of Us Part II, I strongly recommend watching a summary or a "lets play" video of the first one. Or better yet, play through the first one again, but that might be too much. A refresher of the first one will go a long way in your enjoyment of Part II.

PS5 restock supposed to be delivered by Tuesday morning.

I'm going to be at the Target dock with my best shade of lipstick on full sexy display, if you know what I mean. I'm going to get me one of these sumbiatchs and I'm willing to work for it.

[Malankazooie]

First thing we're gonna do is raid the village where the barber who gave this burly summbitch a haircut has set up shop.



Serious question for you guys who are playing through the game. How does the Jomsviking game mechanic/economy work? I recruit these bastards and give up silver in the process, but I'm not sure if I notice any benefit. And I've recruited a lot of them. Do they go with you on raids and stuff? Cause I can't recall ever seeing any of them. And some of them have rather distinct appearances.
