That's the one. They held a 'we are not going out of business after all' reception three days ago.

hhaa. I wish.

My comic store, which I have been frequenting for 30 years, is not closing after all. All is well in the world.

Allright, let's make an attempt to differentiate Skarpen from Sharp. New beginnings and all. If Skarpen has no relation to Sharp_One then the reference is annoying, if he is an alt then he can use the opportunity to turn a new leaf. Let's not make assumptions is what I'm saying.

Warhammer total war 2 Dark Elfs campaign. Can recommend, although all the 'dlc' stuff is not far from microtransaction territory. Get it on sale.

First thing in the history of the world that has even been made better with the addition of terrible recorder flute.

I can't believe I ever thought this guy was hard. Posting for the voice acting meme. So badass, I ****ing believe him.

lmao, pretty boy with the long hair.

Remember Morrowind, like that. I can't remember if you can play Oblivion in third person.

There is a third person idle cam, it isn't animated though and it probably won't work everywhere.

Also, Lame. If someone paid me to beat SEKIRO the way it was intended, that's what I would do.

Made it to the sword saint. I gotta say, although I enjoyed the game so far, after a point I didn't feel like I got better at anything beyond memorising every boss' moveset. I can't tell without knowing in advance what attack is a thrust and needs a mikri counter and what attack is a sweep and needs a jump counter. If you are facing someone with a spear the windup animations all look the same to me, yes you can react to a sweep in time, but not a thrust. It's kinda a weakness, but not so different than Dark Souls I suppose. If you beat a boss the first time in less than 20 tries you got lucky. If the signalling works so poorly, why didn't they make the thrust danger signal a different colour or something... I just wish they had focused more on the windup animations and made some universal signalling as to what attack type this is going to be, instead of just doing the 'danger' kanji. I know I can beat the sword saint, but I just don't feel like spending hours learning his every move first.

Well, who even has a CD/DVD drive anymore. These days it's Denuvo and an internet connection to even get to play a game, and there is no way around that unless you want to chose what games you play on the basis of DRM, which is going a bit too far in my book.

That worked ?. It never does when I try it. UT announcer for the win.

Well..... If shooting a whole bunch of sponges is your jam then sure, the shooting is solid. Otherwise weapons almost universally feel like they're shooting peas - unless you happen to find a gun that's just the right level, in which case the guns temporarily stop feeling like they're shooting peas, then you reach higher level quests and you are, yet again, shooting peas. Granted, Borderlands 1's a lot worse in this than 2. If the guns still have levels I'm not interested in borderlands 3. It's probably going to be jam-packed full of microtransactions anyway.

I thought it was awesome. Because **** essential NPCs in general.

Mechwarrior RPG it is then.

Sekiro is awesome. I think I like it better than souls, and I'm one of those impossible people who play fighting games with an arcade stick. Let me tell you, it's HARD. muhahahahahaha. I tried a little bit of Devil May Cry and the difference immense, it was like the enemies were just standing around waiting to die.

I keep thinking Microsoft has the Mechwarrior license, that was Microprose, like 20 years ago.

It's a good question. I think the on Having exclusives does the precise opposite of forcing competition and innovation, except for competition on buying exclusives, which is nothing the consumer benefits from. Competition happens when several stores offer substitutable products. Then the consumer can pick one over the other because the overall package appeals to them the most. Whether that will translate into a benefit for the consumer still remains to be seen. It does not, and it will not. Steam is actually throwing money at new functionalities (they have a new game-event display thing or whatever it is coming out of closed Beta now - whether it's good is anyone's guess), meaning it was something they'd alreayd started long ago before the trashfire that is Epic. Hells, they're even nice enough to let the TOW and Metro pages stay up* instead of nixing them. If this exclusives thing starts catching, you can say goodbye to that, because no-one's going to spend money developing, testing, and adding features that people may or may not like to a product when they can just spend it making sure people have no choice using that product regardless of how crappy it is. *I hear the Metro devs are telling people who bought the game on Epic to go to the Steam forum to report bugs - I have the entire Metro seires on my ingore list because the games never interested me and I'm SURE AS HELL not touching the EGS to find out, does anyone know if this is true? I don't consider STEAM or any other distributor to be worth anywhere near what they are charging and I don't think I've ever used one of their 'features'. The friends list maybe, sometimes a post on steam forum. I mean, how hard is that to do ?. STEAM, please don't continue 'developing' your platform, there is already too much bloat autoloading into my game. If no distributor is worth what they are charging, why are all companies using them instead of doing the distribution themselves? You don't think that, say, Steam showing your game on the splash page or on the discovery queue during sales is a ridiculous amount of targeted publicity at *checks numbers* EIGHTY MILLION PEOPLE (holy crap)? On the user side, you've never checked reviews on a game before buying it? If you have a technical problem with a game, you never check the forums to see if anyone has encountered it before and if (and how) they've solved it? You've never bought more than one game/x-pac/DLC at a time (remember, Epic has no shopping cart, which is something i still lol at)? Edit: Do the devs of the games you play not post announcements or patch notes on the forums? Do you not read those? The ease for customers in having everything in one place. That's it I think, that's the only real reason everyone doesn't have their own distribution and the reason change has been so long in coming. PS : are we really calling patch notes a 'feature'.

Well, it IS competition clearly. Whether that will translate into a benefit for the consumer still remains to be seen. A shakeup of the STEAM monopoly is overdue in any case. Nothing can happen without it.

Depends. Is it really a boss or just a miniboss? :D And what do we even consider to be the first boss? :D The first boss - boss. The one you are supposed to lose to. I *am* going to beat him so I can get 2 seconds of different cutscene.
