Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

Probably both are true

It is.

The only wonder to me is that it lasted this long.

But just about the only thing that surprises me anymore, is the depth of human stupidity.

It is a fascinating primordial soup of viruses.

#metoo might just be the super-virus to end the 24 hour flu that is E-Sports.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Yes because there is an abundance of women in the E-Sports community :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Here is the thing, in sports and e-sports you have two types of owners, the 1% billionaire who owns multiple companies and owns the franchise outright and then you have ownership groups, who have multiple people that have a share in ownership and may have one of the owners involved acting as a public face. The public face may or may not have started the idea, they may or may not have the most funds in the group and thus may not have power to make all the decisions that they like.

Rick Fox is in the later group, while they latched onto his name and he clearly seemed into growing the brand, just from his comments he obviously did not have sway with others in the ownership group at least compared to the member that made and probably was still making racist comments. So, he is actually doing something pretty ballsy in leaving, he could have done the bitch move, stayed quiet about the issue like he didnā€™t know the truth and kept getting a check or however he got his cut of profits. Instead he is exiting and saying unlike the other remaining ownership partners he isnā€™t going to just stay quiet and let racist shit slide like we know goes down in far too many upper levels of management and places of power.

Never liked Rick Fox as a basketball player, feel he is a so so celebrity, who has done a few good cameos here and there but he gets my respect for not being a stooge in this instance.

Not the point.

It is the social sentiment sweeping the scene, borne of the micro-organs of mental midgets, that is going to finally do what bacteria could not.

Interesting, didnā€™t know any of that. If this is the case, then I guess it makes sense heā€™d go really public to distance his name from that guy.

Lol. I just read how the storyline plays out in Days Gone and THANK FUCK I did not buy that game. I would have been so pissed. Iā€™ll watch the cutscene ā€œmovieā€ later to see if it plays out better than it reads. But manā€¦it sounds like a god damn train wreck.

Apparently there are performance issues, too. It looks great graphically, but there are frame rate drops and pop-in. It doesnā€™t have quite the polish you normally expect from Sony exclusives.

That doesnā€™t bother me since stuff like that can be fixedā€¦ish? A bad story and dull gameplay canā€™t really be fixed.

I played a bit of the XB1 version of Cuphead today; apparently I had left off on 3rd island, which happens to be where I am in the Switch version nowā€¦ just passed the hell that is Dr. Kahlā€™s Robotā€¦the odd thing about that is how the first phase of the fight is the real tough partā€¦if you can pass that with no hits or just 1 hit then you might be okā€¦but damn that first form is a muthafucka. Itā€™s basically ā€œIron Giantā€ equipped with a head laser that takes up a huge amount of screen (and prevents you from being able to shoot anything but special shots through it, so it works as both offense and defensive measures for that robot!)ā€¦ + a pink contraption that fires 2 vertical beams until you use a parry to destroy itā€¦ + a lower section that shoots glider-looking bots that also take up more valuable screen spaceā€¦

ā€¦but if you destroy the lower vent, what comes next from there is arguably worseā€” bombs that follow you around indefinitely. A lot of folks Iā€™ve seen commenting on this one agree itā€™s one of the toughest fights in the entire game, actuallyā€¦in the ā€œwhich is the hardest boss?ā€, Dr. Kahlā€™s Robot is a name that frequently makes the top end of the lists.
Observe the insanity:

The DLC title isnā€™t convoluted enough.

JUST DONT CALL IT FINAL MIX!

I still havenā€™t played KH3. Makes me mad I fed into the hype and gave square so much of my money.

Fuck me though. Itā€™s my fault. :woman_shrugging:t3:

Me to me.

Also apparently when Nintendo updated BotW for VR they updated the load times as well

Last boss in Sekiro is fucking me up. Not only that, itā€™s technically 2 bosses you have to fight back to back, with a total of four health bars.

Threw myself at them for like an hour before I had to stop from the salt. :rofl:

The OST is awesome. Itā€™s some funky stuff and it sounds almost nothing like the rest of the series soundtracks.

I think I finished original mode years ago, but Iā€™m not a 100%. I know I finished the Chronicles version and the original it was based off of though. The hardest CV for me is Bloodlines. The RNG boss gauntlet at the end is fucking retarded.

:+1: ^ Had to edit that one in there. One of my favorite OoE tracks is a remix from this game.
