Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

[Hawkingbird]

I don’t know honestly in the case of lootboxes. I hate them all. It’s a shitty mechanic that’s only really there to prey on gambling whales. In the process they make shit worse for the rest of us because they have to up the grind to make the boxes attractive. But I guess if you don’t put too much cool or game-altering stuff in them, and make good, non-grindy paths to getting the stuff otherwise, they’re not that bad. I only said some people have to be using them responsibly because there has to be some good use out there I’m not aware of.

Other micros can be used responsibly. Just charge fair prices for items, and don’t sell stuff people wouldn’t expect to be behind a paywall when playing a certain game. If it’s a fighting game, don’t put special moves or modes behind a paywall. If it’s a shooter, don’t put reticles behind a paywall (unless you have a shit ton available already and they’re really cool reticles). Stuff like that.

Unless the game is Free 2 play I don’t support any kind of MTX. Even then it’s only to an extent. Even if a game is free the model of making players pay to reduce timers on a game to continue playing is utter bullshit.

In terms of lootboxes, EA and ActiBlizz ain’t got nothing on the whole gacha industry in the East.

The official social media accounts for Call of Duty have changed their logo and their bio reads “Going Dark”

Supposedly the announcement is in two days

Gameexplain had some hands on time with smm2 for those interested

Does anyone have any recommendations for platforming games for PS4 that involve jumping on top of the enemy heads a la Super Mario?

I’m disappointed shattered soldier and Hard Corp Uprising ain’t in the collection. What’s there is good enough for me to pick it up on the switch.

[LiangHuBBB]

anyone here playing dauntless?

So after the cutscene I landed on this island, but I can’t walk or do anything. My character is just standing there stucked after the plane crashed and all I can do is rolling but only on that little area.
Is this a glitch?
I tried to restart the game twice and my character is still stucked.

No need to play discount Monster Hunter when I have the real thing.

[HD-Man]

Dang. Those two were my favorite Contra games

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Can’t say I will miss either of those Contra games. I only played a little bit of Uprising so not much experience with it.

I fucking hate Shattered Soldier. That game and it’s % based progression system can eat a bag of dog shit far as im concerned.

[J-ride]

I’m guessing they didn’t include those two because you can still buy them on the PSN store. I got both in a sale a while back so I am still interested in the collection.

[Gasaraki]

Uprising is fucking amazing dude.

[Darksakul]

The two shit Pal games make it a hard pass for me.

Get this Probotector shit out of here.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Yea I heard good things. I was kinda turned off the game cuz the most fun looking character was DLC.

[Sonichuman]

No online multiplayer with friends for smm2

Sooo they’ll still make bank bust just less bank

I know not many of you all have PSVR, but those who do, anyone pick up Blood and Truth today? I got it but haven’t opened it yet and hope to get some time with it later tonight. Looks pretty badass and London Heist was awesome.

[Hawkingbird]

I know not many of you all have PSVR, but those who do, anyone pick up Blood and Truth today?

Is it exclusive to PSVR? I want to put it on my bucket list for when I finally pull the trigger on VR.

[purbeast]

I’m pretty sure yeah.

Have you played London Heist on VR Worlds?
