Well post the gat out of hell ending they could declare one cannon and have the saints starting again from scratch?
I mean they manage to retell almost the same story every few years on gta.
that is true
IIRC, SR2 was a horribly done port, it was originally done just for consoles. Kind of like recent WB games, where that company got so sick of the bad ports that they're now just flipping off PC customers (if you bought Mortal Kombat X for PC, for example, you won't get the DLC, because it's too much effort).Quote:

SR2 is when they started really finding their own direction, took off with it in SR3, and then decided to soar in SR4.

That's a problem with most games that have alternate methods of transport, it's either easier or more fun to use the other. Like in Arkham Knight, it's a lot more fun to swing and glide around the city. I've been playing Just Cause 2 (was on sale), and it's faster to drive a vehicle, but a lot more fun to grapple around everywhere. But in games like Saints Row, the cars offer more than just transport, like customization, and radio (except you could do that outside the car in SR4, too).Quote:

This looks intriguing:

A post-apoc city management game that also mixes in a bit of Civ elements. Could be pretty fun. I'd certainly give it a go.
Seems a cash in on the settlement building. I'll wait and see what happens with it, if its done right it could still work.
It's already been greenlit, so that's one step in the right direction.
It's an interesting concept. Not sure if a small studio will be able to realize all that they want to do with it, but I guess we'll see.
So it looks like reasonably priced gaming laptops might be a thing soon

started Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin on Xbox One, ahead of Dark Souls 3 coming in April. so good, but so very tense. all of the time. there is an obelisk in game that tracks the total number of deaths. it is approaching 57 million now.
The game Party Hard was included in Angry Joe's top 10 games of 2015, and looked fun from watching him playing it. It's only $12.49 normally, pretty small amount, but right now Humble Bundle's weekly bundle has Party Hard and other stuff for $8, so you can say over 33% and get a bunch of other stuff, plus help charity. I snagged it, pretty light download relatively speaking (under a gig), it even runs in a window. But it's fun. Pretty tough, though. As someone with annoying noisy neighbors, it's a nice way to blow off that steam. For those unaware of the game's premise, you're playing a guy sick of noisy party-goers who goes around various parties killing everyone, but you have to be careful not to have witnesses or have people spot bodies just lying around, or the cops will come along. Not so easy when there's often 50+ people and it's hard to get one alone (or catch multiple people where they can't escape). Plenty of environmental stuff to use, and it randomly generates the crowd and environmental stuff, so good replay value.
And it's played up as a bit of a joke, not just playing a murder-suicide simulator like Hatred.
for those that haven't tried it yet, Cities:Skylines is on a free weekend right now - no better time to check it out if you have any interest in city-builders!
Also pretty cheap on sale. And the latest expansion had some free upgrades. Both expansions are worth getting... you can get them and the core game for less than a AAA title, and it'll provide a LOT of fun.Quote:

The basic premise is you run a store in a fantasy setting, selling to adventurers. Starts off small, just one room and some very basic gear. As you sell more, you level up and gain access to better furnishings to display stuff and more gear, and you can also spend gold to get a couple of extra rooms to increase your sales space.
Each day in the game is four phases: An untimed Build Phase, then five minutes each for Morning, Day, and Evening, at the end of which everyone still in the shop will run out and go home and the doors will close, starting a new Build Phase. Traffic really picks up in the Day and Evening. You have to go around sweeping and repairing the shop, too, or overused furnishings might fall apart and people will get sick of all the dirt on the floor. You also have to watch out for thieves, who'll grab your items, and then you have to chase them down and try to kill them without killing bystanders to get your stuff back. (At the moment, it's a bit hard to spot them in a crowd, though, because sometimes a paying customer will take off running, which makes them look like another thief.)
I've put a few hours into it (already well worth the price) and expanded my shop to two rooms with all furnishings and Warrior Tier 1 (no Druids, Mages, or Rogues coming in to shop yet... that'll take time). Got tables, armor and weapon racks, counters, and shelves stocked with all kinds of stuff, and I try to start each day with a lot of spares in stock so I can run around restocking shelves quickly as people buy. There have been times it's been super hectic, and I'm selling health potions literally as fast as I put them on the shelves (I place one and it disappears in a sale). There's also times that it's pretty quiet, because what people want tends to change from day to day.
There's not much "action," but it's still a really fun game, mostly calming, and a pretty low price, so you get lots of value out of it.
Not everyone's cup of tea, certainly, but for some folks, it can be a lot of fun.
Still in Early Access, though, and they do warn you that. I haven't had any serious issues, just one with a guy clipping through a wall, but out of hundreds of people, just having one do it is pretty good. Probably some balance stuff to work out, but overall it feels pretty polished. As opposed to Street Fighter V which is charging you $60 for a game that still doesn't have a lot of its core features (and will charge you more for DLC down the line).
Anyone got Just Cause 3 on the PS4?
I'm kind of tempted as its £32.00 on Amazon, but I still have bad memories of the exceptionally wonky vehicle physics in the first one (drive tank at top speed into a moped. Moped wobbles and drives off, tank goes flying and lands upside down in a tree)
I have it on Xbox One, thoroughly enjoyed it. much better story and characters than two, stunningly beautiful scenery, just so much fun start to finish.
If it's as horribly broken as 2 when it comes to spawning enemies it'll get old quickly.

I kind of want to get it just because of all the funny shenanigans I see the Outside XBox crew get into with it, like ramping a tank off a "sky fortress" and jumping out at the last second.Quote:

That's annoying. The only game I ever fancied getting all the achievements on, you had to have played in the beta. And I didn't.
I mean I don't achievement grind a lot. But occasionally when they seem reasonably doable I'll have a go. I mean I had half the TF2 ones, then they keep releasing new ones...
Still greatly enjoying Freeblade.
Up to level 33 as a Knight, and about three chapters to go. Whilst you can very much pay2win, it's by no means necessary - everything can instead be achieved by grinding in the game. As the levels themselves are short, that's not the chore it sounds.
Though I have to admit I did make a £14.99 purchase of Gold. Given I've been enjoying the game and playing it loads, seemed a fair price - and that gold did make things a bit easier!
If you've got a suitable platform for it, definitely give it a bash :)
Sniper Elite 4 announced yesterday, coming this year. very excited.
looking like a good year for gaming really, Earth Defense Force earlier, Twilight Princess HD just come out, Dark Souls 3 soon, The Division looks promising, XCOM 2, Uncharted 4, Fire Emblem, Star Fox Zero... I am somewhat curious about Farcry Primal too
Interesting to watch both the cynical brit's, and the other cynical brit's takes on xcom2. TB seemed to like it. Yahtzee seemed to think it a lazy cash in on the first one. At least that was my impressions from their videos.
Star fox zero? please tell me its a wii u game and back in an arwing? :D
I did discover mass effect 3 is on the wii u for about £8 new the other day, so I might get to play the third installment afterall. Won't be the same without my PC shepard though but oh well.
yes and yesQuote:

It's a good job I now work mostly alone.
it is looking really good, same sort of approach as Lylat Wars, same enemies etc. like Star Wolf. but looks lovely, some vehicles changes, tank looks cool. I am pretty excited. out April 22nd, so not far away
Very nice. Don't think it'll be afull price purchase for me though, the N64 version was it lylat wars? I completed in a single sitting without losing a life so I've always been wary since (luckily I'd only rented it from blockbuster- remember when you could do that?)
Although i was a lot better at flight sims back then than I am now as used to play more. hmmm.
well Lylat Wars had multiple routes, easy medium and hard, and secret routes. plus targets for getting gold on every level, I played it for years, was only one gold medal short.
oops so I "completed it" and never realised there was another way? what a muppet.
three ways standard :p
the third route had a much bigger Andross fight at the end too, and a submarine level instead of the tank level.
That sounds awesome...
it was really good. Zero is taking the same approach it seems, multiple routes to the boss. so don't just do one and stop :p
Yeah, I'm not quite that oblivious these days
are you suuuuure?
I was, now I'm not so sure
