3 hours into subnautica, highly recommended. looks great, taps into my mild fear of being stuck in the open ocean, my love for sci-fi, and ambiguous yet engaging story lines.

 

Easily one of the best survival/exploration games out there, highly recommended

I beat the final boss in Dark Souls 2 and this is a very good game.

 

Weakest of the series imo.

Only one I've played (for realsies) besides Bloodborne. Hella worth it imo. Good vidja.

I really disliked DS2, but It's only bad in comparison to the first one. I reckon if you haven't played DS1 first and come with no expectations it's pretty good

2 was the last one i played, I loved 1-3, and Bloodborne, but after playing all 3 of those DS2: SotFS just felt like a steaming pile of shit, I didn't bother finishing, the difficulty felt artificially ramped by just having more enemies everywhere, and the combat just felt off compared to 1 and 3. I absolutely love 3 though and I'm looking forward to the remaster of 1 as I've only finished it once.

 

Enjoying the hell out of Monster Hunter World lately, but Bazelgeuse can fuck right off, that fucker pops up in high rank at the absolute worst times and just ruins everything.

I wouldn't call DkS2 a steaming pile of shit but it was definitely the weakest entry in the series. My biggest gripe was the changes to combat, mainly the nerf to pivoting attacks. In every other Souls game (including BB), you can pivot attacks in any direction if they follow a roll/backstep. For example, I love dodging then following up with a light attack. The light attack after a dodge can be aimed (pivoted) in any direction (as long as you're unlocked from the target). This led to a lot of options for unlocked play and even created a lot of depth in PvP.

 

In Dks 2 however, you could only pivot ~45 degrees in each direction from where you're facing as opposed to the complete freedom to aim your attack in any direction offered by all of the other games in the series.

 

It really chapped my ass.

 

Edit: Dks 2 and 3 both allow the player to change the way they're facing while locked on. However, my point still stands.

I haven't read the rules lately, am I permitted to give out a redeem code here?  I would hate for it to go to waste.

maybe ask who wants it and then message them. also the rules should be read incessantly every day, every hour, ad infinitum.

Formula Fusion: EMLLJ-BP8DJ-YYK0W redeem on STEAM

 

https://www.formulafusiongame.com

 

Backstory.  This is a game from some of the the original Wipeout team and the shut down Studio Liverpool (modern Wipeout devs).  This is the "real" successor to Wipeout I suppose.  Designers Republic are also behind most, (if not all?) of the look and design.  Really good game, not perfect.  Not a surprise that there a some minor issues considering the size of the team and the lack of a publisher.  Just redeem it on Steam, "games" tab, "activate product on steam"

 

Please reply verifying you got it.  

 

bye.

I think this will work, as long as the bottom of the message isn't missed.  I have the rules refreshed and read to me through text to speech every hour, starting now.

Feel like I should play one of the other games I've been accumulating from PS+ but keep going back to MGS Phantom Pain. Those skulls are a bunch of cunts!

 

Also been playing a bit of Sky Force Anniversary. Used to love a similar game years ago so it's a true trip down memory lane.

Big fan of Sky Force as well, and I hear you about the PS+ games - Rime just came out (had been wanting to try it when it was released and never got around to it), and I haven't even found the time to download it yet!

i early accessed this and really wanted to like it but it just feels really half assed even at this stage. it's just not nearly as refined as the newer wipeouts or even the new competitors like redout or fast racing neo.

Luckily i can use the library without downloading that month. Otherwise id be shit outta luck, panic at the end of every month and never play half the stuff I want to. Got my eye on Deus Ex next

Counting down the days till Dark Souls remaster.  Never played the original so that will pretty much be my whole summer.

Oh shit son. Don't rush your first run. Take it slow and easy and enjoy and explore and play blind as much as possible.

It's trite but I really do wish I could replay Dark Souls with a blank memory of it. I imagine it'll be even better with a (hopefully) more robust online system.

I'm really looking forward to it, but I realize it won't be quite the same experience given that I've beaten Bloodborne three times and DS2 four times.

 

Trying to get through DS3 before it comes out but I'm stuck at the tree with balls.

the genius thing about dark souls 1 is that you can choose different routes if you sort of know what your doing,the first time you realise the way the world links back on itself is awesome

 

i,m playing at the mo...

human fall flat- frustrating physics co-op puzzler-can be hilarious at times

rise of the tomb raider- sorta uncharted with stealth/puzzles,pretty good actually,gotta be one of the best looking games ever 

assetto corsa- driving sim,just broke the 500 hour mark on steam,i,m so addicted to driving and modding this game,good online racing too

just had the funniest run in The Binding of Isaac. Azazel laser + piss tears + advanced damage, combined with a wide-area tear bomb.

 

i.e. a gigantic laser piss bomb. enough to kill anything in one hit. I took down Mega Satan for the first time.

shat numerous bricks playing subnautica. gg.

Found the Path of Pain in Hollow Knight. Fuck that.

i only wish they had gone a bit more all out on the variety of deep and creepy tunes/sound design that come in when you get to certain deaths. 

i've been noticing bad glitching in sonic mania. like game freezing glitches, maybe it was rushed? nothing that couldn't been fixed with a bit more attention. 

Looks like another Risk of Rain 2 update from Hopoo: http://hopooo.tumblr.com/post/170840621408/devblog-9-runnin-around-as-we-get-deeper-into

Which version are you running? I have held off picking up a copy for my PC as it apparently has that horrible Denuvo DRM eating away at it.

Hell thank you for reminding me of that ! I loved Risk of Rain and was really hyped when they first posted something about the follow up but I haven't been reading anything since ! Very happy to see they're on post #9 !!!

i'm playing on the switch

Dead Space is free on PC right now. Fun game, I think the second one was maybe better, been a while though.

The original was (and is) still the best - I would certainly play though a 4K remaster of this.
