OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Crusader Kings II is currently free on GOG if anybody is interested in giving it a go.

 

[TB87]

Uncharted rules. The closest game has to be The Last of Us. Chances are you already played that, but if not, you should give it a go.

I just finished playing all 4 of those games. 4 in particular is phenomenal. I’d recommend those to anyone who is even slightly interested in playing video games.

They were a nice fun palette cleanser after playing the brutally dark The Last of Us series (great games but so dark).

I played against my first "Real 99" guy the other day in Show co-op, @FLYguy3911 . He's a high A relief pitcher for the Twins. He warmed up his card but didn't put him in, just threw in Loup and Goose like every other schmuck. We won, but I joked with my friend that I really wanted to go yard off his card.

Do you check each players lineup or does it pop up?

The chances you'd play an actual pro with a card are very very slim. If it's a hitter or SP, easy enough to see because they have a "Real 99" card when you load in. But sometimes the logos will glitch in co-op and give you theirs. My name had a "Real 99" logo, so I assumed someone on the other team had one. So, I looked at their roster stats and found him under pitchers.

That’s cool

Loup is 199.

I think that might have came off as snarky. I do think it’s pretty cool, just wanted to make sure that was clear.

They're remaking Super Mario RPG

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Every single magic find item that has dropped is completely useless in all other ways lol. For most of this run, the paladin wore gear out of my stash that my necro had found in a prior play.

Because the itemization is as bland and uninteresting as possible. Numbers go up good.

The whole game, really. It gives you the illusion of depth. But it’s ankle deep and a mile wide. You’ll see people talk about the different builds they can make, but there are precious little variations between versions of those builds. It’s an ARPG on rails.

I’m glad others seem to be enjoying it, but sadly it seems to be exactly what was expected. It looks good. The combat feels good. Blizzard always nails those. But the gameplay loop is miserable. There isn’t an endgame.

 

[Amorgus]

I've been playing Diablo 4 with my friends and I'm also a necro. I struggled to beat the end boss with my minion build and have finally got the equipment for a feasible Bone Spear build. Everything online says that's the way to go for after lvl 50 and now that I have figured out how not to die it truly delivers. Make one corpse, use Corpse Tendrils to pull every mob in range into one spot and make them stunned and vulnerable, hit then with a fracturing spear of pure death due to stacked crit damage. Watch numbers of over 20k appear over the dead and laugh.

I go to put the switch on the tv for the kids to play. We’re getting sound but no image. It worked fine two days ago.
We get video and sound on the switch itself but not when docked. F.

Did you try a different HDMI port?

 

[Lord Defect]

Power cycling the tv and switch worked. Kids are happy!

Yessir. Just some weird little temporary f you apparently.

Not sure why it says "This message was deleted", since I didn't delete them, but that's fine because I would've had to censor the spicy language lol

 

[trostol]

I really need something to play on my switch

 

[Magua]

Because Xbox deleted them, and buddy probably has a week long communications ban.

Nothing worse than a guy who spams the same play though. Need more creativity out of you.

Yeah.... if you saw them that would make sense.

I wasn't even spamming the same play anyways. All three goals were different. He's right though, I'm definitely guilty of running down the field.

He's just mad that I scored in stoppage time and made him watch the full celebration.

I play The Show. The toxicity is next level, if you want it to be: 2-3 minute passes that reset, rewatching home runs, doing a pickoff move on loop, stepping off the mound, looking at the manager to pretend intentionally walk, spamming bunt (i.e. bagging), holding the trigger so they can’t pitch for a few seconds.

I have a strict never fire first policy though. I’m an adult.

Sounds like a nightmare.

And yeah, I have the same policy. I’ll be cool until someone else starts it but then I make an effort to be as toxic as possible.

I played this dude in Events yesterday. Imagine how long that 3 inning game took?

I just finished playing it for probably the 15th time so I am definitely biased but for anyone who hasn’t played it and loves dungeon crawling rpgs Dark Cloud 2 is such a fantastic game. The first one is damn good too but anyone who hasn’t played them give it a try. I’ve gotten quite a few others hooked on them. Wish the wasn’t an issue with level 5 and Sony over the rights to it because it deserves a third game

The first one was on the ps2 if I’m thinking of the right game. Every time you beat a section of the game you got a portion of the town to build how you like?
That game rocked.

Yes both were on PS2 and yeah that’s the right game. They are part of the classics catalog on PS4 and PS5. Think they are like 10 bucks each but free if you have PS Plus
