Aight, since I might not be able to solo Ending E in Nier:Automata or get some help without a ps4 acc, I decided to just watch the credits and hhhhh what is this feeling in my heart,,

[Fabricant451]

Nothing political about the *checks notes* Cold War. Everyone knows the Cold War is the most apolitical war in history, it was just about people needing blankets and cocoa for forty years

[Hey Im Jordan]

TSM WONNERED

[mickilennial]

yeah i guess it's okay

@Fabricant451

So I've finally gotten around to this game and I really enjoyed it and it is a very competent game, but I feel very fatigued by it. The question I asked myself after happily beating it (not to the level you have but hey we ain't all you) was this:

When did every action-adventure game become a stealth-action combo collectathon sandbox game?

also i played entirely in japanese-only with kurosawa mode on the whole time, kneel to my aesthetic greatness

I don't understand who at Nintendo approves things but whoever decided "We'll release Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy on the Switch but only for six months" needs to be fired immediately.

@Majoras End

If you buy it you'll always be able to play it even after the six months but sucks for those people who don't buy it in time I guess.

@Fabricant451

I thought you wont be able to play it after awhile, even if you buy it??

@Majoras End

That's not what I heard, I heard that so long as you buy it you'll always have it.

But the fact that there's confusion about this is another reason why it's fucking stupid to have something be a 'limited time release'.

True.

@role model

Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, etc. Could try places that sell refurbished consoles like Gamestop, too.

@Andreyich

There were a few people talking about CK3 about a week or so ago in RPGO's #gaming channel if you want to ask there as well.

I'm extremely excited for more Monster Hunter. I fucking love Monster Hunter. And the return of MH Stories is awesome news.

And...

Been replaying Assassin's Creed Odyssey and I still can't believe that this game is simultaneously tedious and fun. It should be a paradox but it isn't.

@Inkarnate

As someone who loves Odyssey enough to call it my GOTY of 2018, it was still the game that broke me out of the 'explore everything in an area before doing the main quest' thing that is my open world curse because it's just so easy to arrive in an area then fall into the rhythm of 'oh what's that '?' over there and combined with all the islands available it can really get away from you.

Exploring Odyssey is super fun but if I had a huge complaint it would be how the exploration and the story don't really form a coherent picture - especially if you take out camps and stuff beforehand because almost every quest will then take you back to those camps anyway. Also conquest battles, while neat, seem to work backwards (why is it easier to defend a nation that you've just worked on taking out its defenses in the first place, moreover why would they hire the person who just took out their supplies and generals and money?) but fortunately the game shits loot and XP at you so they're like entirely optional.

Still, the game has a lot of good going in it and with the way Assassin's Creed works I can only hope that Valhalla improves on the things Odyssey introduced because fuck would that be cool.

Also if anyone prefers Alexios to Kassandra what's it like being wrong.

[mickilennial]

I mean obviously Kassandra is the coded main character (which is reinforced by the novels/comics), just like female Øyvor is already coded to be the main character in Valhalla, haha.
