Mamoulian War

The thing is, that most of the games, which were affected by the strike are still in development. I bet we'll notice the effect much more in a year or two.

Voice Actor strike ended. https://arstechnica.co.uk/gaming/2017/11/video-game-voice-actors-officially-end-strike-after-340-days/

In the case that game is offered as coop and SP experience in one, the issue is most of the time balance. It's either too hard to play alone or to easy to play in a group. The Mass Effect AI was completely useless on their own. 90% of work was made by the player. For three players, it would be a breeze through. Most of the shooters I've played before they became "cinematic experience" were already too easy for me alone on hardest difficulties. I would be bored to death plating them coop.

Why is there a bunch of medieval European armor in Japan? Because Nioh is about western samurai.

It really depends on the PC. If a steramer or reviewer says, that the performace boost is negligible, it´s because they are using top notch stuff. Unfortunatelly very few gamers are able to have 12k EUR computer as pewdiepie. So the loss of performance for them is much more notable...

I don't understand, how is this killing the ww2 mood...

Anyone who says that additional layer of code on top of the base package of software does not have any performance impact is either liar or Fortran god. And I highly doubt that in this case, the latter statement is the more probable one...

But you'll miss so much on the spectacular loot box drops!!!

Still enjoying it more than Lightning Returns

I am alternating between Mortal Kombat X grind (for last Trophy before platinum), Project CARS 1 (where I need 2 more gold accolades to get the platinum) and Final Fantasy Type-0. Type-0 is actually very interesting concept of a game, but I hate the action combat It is kind of overworld map running with FFVII-Crisis Core style missions, and with some added missions, where you are helping your armies to fight against enemy armies in bigger scale conflicts. Though combat is worse than what I remember from Crisis Core :/ Not looking forward to FFXV, which I have still avoided like a plague, because of the silly shift to gaming as a service model being tested on that game :/

:D

I wish my misery would be valued as much as Star Citizen's development :-P

Nier: Automata had already possibility to purchase achievements if I catched that correctly from some video reviews. Thankfully not with real money. Quote from playstationtrophies.org "Trophies can be bought from trophy shop (accessible after completing Route A, B and C)..."

You nailed it. With such a good story and crazy **** happening, you can forgive lot of flaws. All the Yakuza games are excellent at story telling.

In other news, another "evil" EA move *sighs* https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/10/ea-shuts-down-fan-run-servers-for-older-battlefield-games/

Gorky 17 is very nice gem, which I have completely missed when it was released, but thankfully it was bundled few years later with one Game Review Magazine, and enjoyed hell out of it!

@Katphood Well Yakuza is by no means flawless game. But compares to everything else, I've seen this year it's unique, fresh and original game.

Well, on the other hand, I am so ****ing happy, that Yakuza 0 is not another Open World Checklist Exploration Simulator , like every other ****ing game in 2016/17...

Haloween Sale started on GOG. Also new games available for GOG Connect.

Yes.

Started to play Final Fantasy Type-0 HD for the first time. After the 1st mission I have somewhat mixed feelings about the game. I somehow do not like the combat system. We'll see how it goes in next cahpters and missions.

In today's age if internet? I pretty doubt it. Thanks to oppinion bubble created by search engine algorithms, only extremes are atrracting the audience :-/

Finished FFXII-Zodiac Age today. I have decided to go for minimum sidequests and get to the final boss as soon as possible. Still had to backtrack little bit to get some more XP, but I have defeated the boss as level 42. Still took me about 65hours. In a year or two, I will go for more in-depth walkthrough to get the Platinum trophy. And almost finished MKXL. Missing only the last trophy, to get Platinum. Need to grind three more levels, which I am currently to lazy to do :-D

Cheapest you can get it here is 49.99 EUR for PC and 59.99 Eur for consoles :-/ even GOG asks 49.99 :-/
