That Xenonauts 2 beta key is only for the beta or will it transform into the real thing later?

X4 looks good to me, but I won't even try it, as the it's a franchise that needs just so much time.

Well, New Vegas was their biggest success, so I find it not a surprise for them to try to recreate that.

Seen The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Weird movie, not sure what to make of it.

Yeah, after Borderlands and Rage, Futurama was the next thing coming into my mind.

Kinda agree, tbh. But at the same time I know that trailer and final product can be worlds apart. I mean, you could make a funny things™ trailer about New Vegas as well even though it really ain't like that primarily. Yadda, yadda, I'll wait and see.

The whole flair kinda reminds me of Futurama.

Meh, I don't have questions, except if they can be about The Outer World.

Reminds me a lot of Rage and Borderlands as of now.

https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/60735/Red-Dead-Online-Beta-Week-1-Update?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=reddeadonline-week1&utm_content=newswire First RDO patch is out. Not bad so far, but by now the game is plagued by something much more serious: Lots of people are using rubber bands and tape to make their characters move around in races and other game modes. This way they farm xp and money without actually doing anything. Apparently this stuff even worked back in GTAV online, lel.

I'm starting with Star Trek DS9 season 4 today. Is it just me or did Sisko's character change once he got a beard? I felt like he is kinda behaving different now. /Edit: Oh no, Sisko is with beard AND bald now. He became 100% evil from season 3 to 4.

**** Fortnite.

Yeah, anno 2070 was good, but also very simple. I had never much problems with anything. Also hated the enemy ai, especially the pirate attacks, which were always exactly the same. Never played the last title, because it didn't interest me at all.

So we are the KKK now. I lol'd. PS: Anno 1800 will be awesome. Played in the recent closed beta and it's shaping up great. Much closer to the older games (1404) again.

Reminds me of Risen, where the end battle was a stupid minigame. :>

Everyone's running to look under her skirt.

Almost got a heart attack in this scene. I love that you can equip a pocket watch and then use it for real. Well, sheet, online story mode does have some fun missions. This is how they apparently fight in Australia.

What did he do there anyway all these years.. certainly not working on a good rpg.

#JustSonicThings again. RDR2 is not an rpg and lots of its features have been done in other games before as well. Yes, I played RDR2. It's also a very linear game that expects you to play in the way the developers wanted. There is no choice&consequences in any kind of way, even though the game likes to make you believe so. /Edit: The most cringe example was a bounty mission where the character asks you to spare him. If you do so and go away, they say something like "he lets us go, quick, before he changes his mind!" ... then they run away... and you get the mission failed screen. No matter the dialog, you *have* to lasso that guy, because this is how the developers want you to play.

I don't mind paying for a service, just not for 10 of them.

Damn this is like a couple years back when everyone had to subscribe to channels on the regular tv. Now you just have to subscribe to all the streaming services and sometimes even add sub-channels to the bill. So annoying. I thought we made it past this with internet streaming, but it just started all over again.

Yes, you're not missing out, at least right now. I would love to just throw that stuff away, but in a weird way I'm still addicted to the game and can't stop playing. I fear that once more interesting content will hit the game, I'll be burned out from it forever.

So I've played Red Dead Online for two days now. Here's my current thought on it: RDO has so many items to unlock, but none of that matters to the player, as everything costs a fortune and thus can't be bought and used. PvP in free roam is dull, boring and has no point. It costs you money and morale and in return offers a tiny fraction of experience for another rank increase which unlocks items you can't buy. Due to the instant respawn right around the corner, it pretty much adds no value to the game. Participating in it just wastes anyone's time that - at this point - is probably better spend at grinding stupid pelts to get your $1.50 from the butcher... the only trader of value. The coop missions could be fun, but again, they offer no reward. In the last mission I've completed, they granted me a wooping $10... and I've used a couple healing items and about 100 bullets, which probably costs about $10 if you'd buy them at any trader. "Stranger missions" are some sort of open world PvP scenarios. Escorting a caravan, kidnapping people, etc. etc. Kinda fun, but again, reward is something between 2 to 5 dollars... so not worth the time. Deathmatch, team deathmatch, battle royale, etc.. are all dull and pointless, because of auto-aim and instant respawn. Also you have to bring your own weapons and ammo, thus it often costs you more to participate than you get as a reward out of them. I'm guessing all of this is why free roam is utter chaos at this point. Players are bored and start shooting each other, even though there is no point in any of this. You can't play any of the minigames from the singleplayer either, which disappointed plenty people. Me not so much, because I never play them anyway. HOWEVER. If you've finished the singleplayer and want to play more in the environment, but don't want to restart the campaign for whatever reason... RDO is not all that bad. Landscape is still beautiful and at least on PS4, most players in the wilderness don't seem to mind each other. Usually you can ride around, hunt some animals and stuff like that without anyone bothering you. If that's all you want to do, then yeah, it's not that bad. Feels like the endgame of the singleplayer mode, but you have the option to do some coop stuff or play with friends, if you feel the mood. The only thing you have to overcome first... is all the grind to get your basic gear back. Bow, binoculars, horse brush,... that stuff costs time, money and much dedication as of now. In the end, it pains me, because this thing could be great fun... with more attractive activities and a real reward system. Who knows, maybe Rockstar is going to deliver exactly that... but right now, I'm rather pessimistic here. Oh, there was some "money exploit". If you killed pigs in certain places to get their hides, you could make fancy $20 every 15 or so minutes. Of course Rockstar fixed this within a day. lol. Just shows once more that the whole RDO experience is made to extort money out of you to decrease the grind. If it stays like that, the game will probably lose most of its playerbase within the next weeks. /edit: Just had a story mission that was quite funny. The NPC said "take a bow with you", but all of us were around rank 6 or 7 and the bow is not unlocked before rank 12. We just killed everyone with normal guns and nobody cared.

Native 4k is a lot less blurry. What a surprise.

I have many small scars from girl scratches on my hands. Don't ask me why, she liked it. Teen years were weird.
