Lexx

I've started watching Lone Wolf and Cup. It's actually really good for a tv show from the 70s.

Green blood and stuff wasn't done anymore in years. Germany had such a phase 10 years ago, but that's pretty much gone nowadays.

I played ESO in the beta. It's an ok game if you play TES for the story, I guess. Personally I'd be more interested in the Morrowind expansion, but I see people only rarely talk about it, so I guess it's just ok-ish too.

To be honest, most of it sounds like pure shovelware. It's kinda crazy... and sad. Technically, "so many people bought game x", but in truth it just has been in a package with something else and nobody really looked at it at all.

I would just ignore such folk. Plenty people are making the mistake and react on it, therefore fueling it even more.

Watched Baby Driver. It's a good movie.

The ending of Enter the Dominatrix had been the best game ending I've seen in a long time. It was just so completely nuts. It would have been even more awesome if you could have kept the... dinosaur ride... in the game after that.

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer had the same system. You play a match and then you get random loot. You could also spend money and get random loot. Nobody cared about this at all. Probably because the "chose your own color"-ending overshadowed it, no idea. I guess DX:MD really just had bad marketing. Ever since this "augment your something something" pre-release stuff happened, people were jumping on it at any time possible. Once you're in this phase, it's very hard for a game to get out of again.

Did these big walker thingies always had red evil eyes?

I don't really get why they had to waste a truckton of money on an online game first, to be able to make the singleplayer game. Pretty sure they just wanted to follow games such as World of Tanks, instead of releasing a singleplayer game that might or might not be played by just a few people before it'll be forgotten again. Now we're finally getting what we wanted all along.

I don't mind spoilers, so... how? I've felt like I didn't really missed anything, but apparently I did. /Edit: Wait, does it have anything to do with this time travel mission, by chance? That one was pretty nice.

Just finished Death of the Outsider. Think I liked it a tad more than Dishonored 2, though kinda sad about the much smaller maps. Then again, this also helped the performance a lot... game was running much better than its predecessor. Though I thought the story was quite confusing at first. It's set after Dishonored 2, but in the beginning Billie still has her arms and eye? Then loses the body parts by the Outsider? If it weren't for that news article at the beginning, I would have thought it's set *before* D2 started, explaining how Billie lost the limbs... Still pretty cool game, though. Wish I'd be a tad longer, as Billie is a cool character to play as.

Stardew Valley?

But what happened to Juni and July?

Death of the Outside is a bit annoying at times. Sometimes guards can see me, even though they really shouldn't. Same apparently applies to bodies I've tried to hide. It's especially annoying when you take a long time to finish a mission just to find out that somewhere someone had been found... or accidentally died. Also I have yet to figure out what to do to craft boncharms. Suddenly the option to sacrifice them appeared, so I guess it might be story-locked. Still, can't do much with it yet and I'm done with the story soon.

Talk to Ian and hire him as a companion. Takes either a couple of caps (you should be able to scrap them together even at the beginning), or if you're a bit skilled in speech, or charismatic, you can convince him to follow you "for the action". Give him a pistol and all is fine. Also you could check out Vault 15 first, but take a rope with you. Radscorpions are dangerous in the beginning, because of the additional poison damage. Well, you might as well just use a pack of dynamite at the entrance. Collapsing the tunnel will solve the quest as well.

30 hours on one weekend? In germany - officially - you aren't allowed to work more than 8 hours a day. This can be stretched to 10 hours a day, but within half a year of time, your average hours per day must not be more than 8. Of course plenty people are violating the law, though, but if the gov. finds out about this, the employer can get fined (or you can sue your employer).

Reminds me of the germans in The man in the high castle. You can totally hear who's a real german and who had to learn a couple sentences. For a native speaker this is quite funny- the words are all correct, but everything is pronounced wrong... So wrong, sometimes I had to read the english subtitles to get what the "germans" were saying in german. :>

I liked it as well, but I probably would have never finished any of these games if not for the coop mode. Playing SR3 and 4 with a friend made it a lot better, because you are able to do stupid stuff every once in a while that you wouldn't do in singleplayer. And yeah, I thought the writing was pretty good most of the times. Most characters are likable idiots and that feels kinda fresh in the otherwise always oh so serious gaming world.

There wasn't much writing in it, though, and they even made fun of the lack of cutscenes ("too expensive"). I kinda miss the times of SR3, though. Back then cars still mattered. With SR4 and the super powers, nobody is using them anymore. They might as well not exist at all.

If I can't play as my custom douchebag in the next Saints Row game, I won't play it. Gat out of Hell was kinda crap, though, because it's pretty much a collection of all the minigames of SR3 and 4. Also couldn't play as my custom douchebag anymore, not even after finishing the story. Sucks.

Blackjack and hookers?

Price never matters to me, unless we're talking about horse armor, or the game is getting flooded with cheap DLCs like Payday. If it's a game I really love (like, for example FNV), then I just want more content under any circumstances. Thing is just.. this doesn't apply to any game. FNV completely hit the nail on the head for me. It's a one-in-10-years kind of game, where I'd eat anything I can get. The same would not apply to e.g. South Park, just because Obsidian made it. Heck, they could release a new FNV DLC right now for 30€ and I'd buy it without wasting a thought on it. They could release a new DLC for Dungeon Siege 3 and I likely wouldn't even notice it exists. PS: Shouldn't someone merge all these survey threads into one?

Heh.

Is it just me or is the Obsidian forum extremely slow today?
