OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

RE4 remake is really fun

 

[Magua]

Devers might be the best hitter in the game tbh.

Well......

 

[trostol]

just pulled some diamond captain Harper from a pack

 

[FlyerNutter]

Fired up this bad boy for the first time in years. Missed you Captain Kenway.

 

[Lord Defect]

Pulled my first diamond from a free show pack. I’ll take it.

RE4 remake is really fun

This is one of those games that I absolutely loved when it came out (and translated really well to Wii), but the idea of dealing with those controls again makes me physically and mentally ill.

STRAIGHT.

INTO.

MY.

VEINS.

 

[Chinatown88]

Damn maybe I have to rush finishing Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure. ARGHHHHH IT'S LIKE MY BOOK BACKLOG NEVER GONNA END.

I never got past the third boss in the last one. Just kinda stopped playing for some reason.

I get side tracked then bored when there’s a bunch of side quests and free roam but I complain when there’s no free roam and too little side quests.

See...now I might go try and get a Switch again

I made it to the AA all star game, hit three home runs and then was pinch hit while up by about 5 in the 8th.
Was that a “we want to give everyone a shot” or the computer being stupid?
Two games later I was called up to AAA, three games after they changed my position from SS to 3B.
Bastards killed my 35 game hit streak by calling me up.

Demand a trade.

I only picked SS to knock Stott off the Phils. I was apparently wrong in which position Stott played at.

The programs confused me. It didn't seem I could play anything? I have to go back and look. My team is a solid 73 ovr right now.

Do you guys spend real money on this? This is what I won't be doing lol

I think it's impossible to be a 73 unless you have 3 minutes played.

I haven't spent a dime in the 2 years I've played Diamond Dynasty -- it's just a matter of playing time (I also like to play the market early like it's fantasy). Fittingly in a year showcasing Sosa and McGwire, they juiced the cards to Herculean proportions. It's pretty easy to have an entire team of 92-97 cards in a few days casually.

Each individual program, of varying length, has missions -- some active, some passive. Generally, you start out doing all the moments (i.e. "Get 3 strikeouts in the 9th with Tainter Jainter") in any program. Then there's XP grinding stuff by playing with certain cards. You get more XP online, along with card rewards, but none of this requires online play. I would make sure to start with the World Baseball Classic program. There's also corresponding Conquests (the hexagonal shit) and Showdowns that give you program points. There's the Season 1 program, but that's just about cumulative XP: you play anything in DD, you'll progress naturally.

i've been hooked on Vampire Survivors the past few days..not sure why lol

 

[Chinatown88]

Just finished Trails from Zero. Dang Trails game go mega hard towards the end. Probably gonna do another playthrough on the hardest difficulty because save data ports over to the sequel Trails to Azure.

That's Resident Evil 4, right? I thought the controls for that (at least on Playstation) were mostly OK - RE 5 was completely unplayable.

 

[Lord Defect]

Do they ever throw strikes on anything higher than rookie? Jesus Christ. What went from a quick 4 minute 3 inning game became a 12 minute 5 inning game.

 

[kudymen]

I am back again with my annual Might and Magic VIII play through. Don’t know why, love that game.

Funny..not M&M related so much but I was just recently thinking of getting the old D&D gold box games

This is insane. A game that actually looks real.



He posted proof that it’s not real too

Saw about 10 seconds of this earlier today and turned it off because I thought it was a guy with a GoPro

This type of realism is a bit unsettling. Especially in a game designed to kill other humans as a Cop. I'd play a Zombie Horror game like this though.

We've reached the point where any video evidence we see can't be trusted. Fake things just look too real now.

Yeah, my first thought while watching it was that horror games like this would be insane.

Jedi Survivor apparently is going to require 147GB of storage space on PS5 lol. That’s a massive game
