I NEED to play something other than Code Vein but dicking about with builds is too much fun even if i am rubbish at it.
I think some Ace Combat 7 is in order.

Until then I have decided that i'm keeping the Reindeer antlers on my CV character when i take off the Christmas items, Glowing Horns and Reindeer antlers just work so well.

I should play Code Vein. But the art will remind me that I semi dropped God Eater. Which, admittedly, was super boring.

From Klobrille and all games with the exception of Battletoads will be releases on Steam/PC Game Pass. Battletoads has simply just not been announced for PC yet. And there will obviously be more games announced and releases in 2020 by MS.



I will do as I usually do, use Game Pass to see if I like the game and if I do, buy it on Steam. Will probably get Ori on Steam some time before release.

Playing a plague tale and I'm enjoying it, but I'm not sure how to feel playing the older sister/brother figure in video games, because in my family I AM the little brother and I was a prick.

I managed to defeat Hino-Enma yesterday after all (when no one was watching :p)
Did the mission a second time today since I was missing one Kodama and defeated her without dying once this time around.

Just finished Life is Strange 2.

Went for the ending where Sean surrendered. It just felt fitting for the character of him I had in mind. Tearing down those police cars and likely killing dozens of people just seems super wrong.



Overall a great game, essentially a road trip game,with every episode featuring a radically different place, and atmosphere. It all connects well to the overall game, though. The relationship of Sean and Daniel was just great, where instead of your choices having consequences for just you, it was about how Daniel learns from your choices, not just what you say, but what you actually do, and how that reflects on him and his life. I haven't gotten the ending where they actually make it Mexico, but I assume it would be radically the opposite, where he would basically have to accept a life where he only cares about his own, no matter the consequences. Gotta look this up now.



Looking at the choices a people made, the one big diverge I saw between my playthrough and a lot of others, is how they deal with Karen, the kids mother who eloped 8 years before the beginning of LoS2
To me it felt that Sean wouldn't really forgive that character. He could come to some sort of acceptance, as in getting over it, but I felt that it would just seem strange and bizarre to someone who is right now doing everything he can to protect his family, just running away from it all, to "find themselves".



I was really impressived how great this game looked, they really used UE4 to great effect. Ran quite well on my old PC with a GTX 970 too.

To me too. I kept my distance to her. I know that people like that exist, but I'm not able to process or understand her motives tbh.
Choose the same ending btw, felt like the reasonable thing to do. Still had tears in my eyes during the end.

Btw, out of resent curiosity, how long did it take you to finish the game?

21 hours, so about 4 hours per episode. I like to take my time with some of the scenes, walking around a lot and looking at everything, so I'm sure this could be under 18 if you played at a more brisk pace, maybe even 15

Damn I really must have missed something.
i don't think you can miss anything ... other than just talking to everyone and inspecting everything ... like, there's no big chunk of story stuff you can just completely miss if you don't do something

I've been playing the original on my phone with retroarch 1.8.2/beetle core. It's still a great and unique game (though I keep dying with touch controls due to the way battles work, it's often hard to dodge enemy attacks while waiting for my gauge to fill up). I hope they're not turning it into resident evil (like the first sequel) with that camera angle. But for general exploration it could be cool. Aya looks a bit weird but I guess Square itself would make her that weird nowadays.

Thanks for recommending it! Certainly redeems Dontnod for LiS1. Guess even great dev teams have a fluke now and then.
indeed ... i like it WAY more than the first game (and i actually like that one too)

can't wait to get my hands on Tell Me Why

Anyone else having problems getting the latest holiday quest?

I've invited a few people but it doesn't pop. :cryblob:

Same.
I've tried multiple times with multiple games but nothing happens. Hell I don't think it even sends an invitation at all. I never use this feature at all., I don't even know with which games and how it's even supposed to behave.
Fuck you too Steam :disapproval-blob:

Hm, it worked with the EDF in-game invite option.
The quest description is a lie (it says to just Shift+Tab -> Right-Click friend -> Invite to Lobby, which appears to not work at all, or I didn't try the right games)

Edit: NO IT DID NOT GODDAMMIT

I tried with CSGO and Halo and neither worked, but I installed Underlords, invited some folks and it immediatelly popped.

I ended up getting it to pop by inviting via Remote Play Together.
Getting it via the regular invitation seems to be broken for (most?) non-Valve games. Great.

I couldn't get TF2 or Halo to work either (it wouldn't even show the invite for TF2 despite the fact I've done it before in the past and seen it). It did show my Halo invite in chat but didn't count for some reason.....
I'll try Underlords
