OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[flyersnorth]

Okay, an XBox S has been gifted to me. What should I be downloading?

Not big on FPS games, but pretty much anything else is fair game.

I see some heavily discounted Castlevania and Contra bundles that could satisfy some nostalgia.

If you get GamePass like @trostol suggests (subscription service for 100s of freely downloadable and playable games), there are so many gems available that something will surely grab your attention.

Grounded is a ton of fun. Dishonoured 2. Any of the Forza games if you’re into that.

I do love racing games. Gran Turismo is a favourite series on Playstation consoles. I snagged Forza 4.

What does this do? I am an XBox noob.

think of it like netflix for games...all sorts of game drop that you can download or stream..they don't always stay there and are inaccessible if they get pulled..but they tell you when things are coming off...you also get perks..some for games..some , for instance like now, a free month of Paramount+..things like that..

there are I think a couple plans..a core one which is shit that only gets you like 25 games..a step up one that is console only and I think lets you run the full library..then there is ultimate which is the full library plus you get the PC plan if you have a PC ..which I assume you do

@Striiker 9-1 in qualifiers. Almost don’t wanna play weekend league.

Did Pulisic. Did Kimmich. Finally sitting on 1 million coins. It can only get worse from here.

Very nice. Yeah, I procrastinate when it comes to WL because I know it just causes frustration, so I know how you feel.

Did you finish Saliba?

Yup. He's beautiful.

After my 10th game some PC nerd kept sending me EA friend requests so I think my friend was not too happy with the result lol.

Think the chem on the feature stars evo is broken. Doesn't give team chemistry so Okafor doesn't even link to Pulisic. Whatta game.

That’s the best, isn’t it? Getting an Xbox message mid game is even better than winning.

They actually just fixed the final card evo full chem issue like an hour or two ago.

Speaking of this game being f***ed, in the last three days I’ve unpacked untradable gold Renard (x3), Ruben Diaz, Messi, CR7, and now today Putellas. EVEN ONE of those during TOTY and my whole team is significantly changed, but no… just a few days late. Meanwhile, I’ve done the stupidly expensive icon pick three times and got absolute shit. My account is cursed.

The evo’d player gets full chem but he doesn’t give team links. Pulisic would be full chem if he did.

At least you are getting good fodder. I only got one double walkout out of three 85x2. I’m completely empty on high rated fodder again.

Oh wow, haven't even heard of anyone having that issue. That's weird.

And yeah, at this point I have more 88-90's (21) than 83-87's (7). Which is nice, of course, but it makes doing SBCs difficult and feel wasteful. Oh, and just got duplicate Popp, so add that bullshit to the list. EA is mocking me.

also f*** you and your bench Mbappe and reserve Salah

 

[TB87]

Nameless Puppet from Lies of P

1st Phase: “Man this is tough”
2nd Phase: “Holy shitballs. What the F******************?


lol. Nowhere close to beating this dude. Very impressive boss fight.

That was just squad battle testing lol. I haven't used Salah in a while though. His 3 star weak foot was killing me. Although I secretly think they buffed finesse shots again. Some dude hit a 40 yard untimed finesse on me today. Everyone is finessing with them with that new Pina card too.

21 88-90s is crazy.

I was thinking the same thing because I can’t believe how often people are scoring finesse shots from WAY outside my box lately.

I used HM Salah in drafts yesterday and was 2 for 2 on them.

Good thing they’re nerfing trivelas. Problem solved.

You've surpassed me, I'm still stuck on Laxasia. Her first phase really isn't too hard, but the second is balls to the walls insanity.

Acid Grindstone
Acid Abrasives help too
Friendship Wishstone (use when the Specter has 50% health left)
Thermite
Carcass Body Fluid
Perfect Parry the Lightning back at her
Dodge, Dip, Duck, Dive, and Dodge

@Striiker the key to this game is when you go down 2-0 you switch to a 5 back and immediately everything goes in your favor. Whatta game.

The bigger the rat, the bigger the reward.

I have my tactics for 5-2-3, 4-4-2, 4-1-2-1-2(2), 4-3-2-1, and 4-2-4 saved for any situation.

Unfortunately, I’m still starting off 3-4 in WL because my team is full of shitty frauds, I’m playing half TOTY squads in every f***in game, and my goalie DDA-f***s me. Was about to rage so I turned it off for a while lol

I started 6-1. Sitting 8-6 now lol.

 

[Striiker]

I'm going out of my way to learn more skill moves and use them more. My team is significantly worse than my opponent 90% of the time, so I need the help.

My new favorite is L1+R1 then move the right stick to the left or right side of the player. Don't know if you use it but it's amazing for when you need to cut inside fast, especially when running down the sidelines or in the box.

 

[TB87]

Lies of P Nameless Puppet has been defeated. What a bastard. Took me hours and hours to finish this today.

2k wants that pay to win money.

Never played a 2K game. Any reason for optimism?

I think most people will just stay on FC regardless. People say they don’t want pay to win, but they’re little pack addicts.

I hear NBA 2k is the most pay to win game, but competition ain't a bad thing.

This game is so shit. I'm losing my mind.

Ended 10-10 and I think I actually deserved to lose maybe 3 or 4 of my games. Every other one looked like this, thanks to the absurd teams and DDA.

17 f***ing shots, 2 goals. And these aren't outside the box either. I'm in the box with Kane, Malen, Hamm, etc...
