Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

So it looks like the recently leaked Watch_Dogs Legion is real, according to Jason Schreier’s recent tweet

According to the leak, WD:L will be set in the UK and feature the (post)-Brexit events, while the player will be able to control any person

I’m surprised they’re even attempted a 3rd watch dogs with how critically panned both titles were. I remember WD2 being in the bargain bin with in what felt like a few months.

Edit: both games to have sold a lot though…so…whatever I guess. I’ve never been interested in the series.

I took the list of games that are eligible for the “trade 3 get it free” and I called EBgames with like 5-6 titles that seemed eligible at this local shop I always go to but only 1 was eligible for the trade 3 get it free deal. Kind of sucks, but I still saved a bit of lettuce on Bloodstained.

It’s been what…10 years or so since Ecclesia if not more? Goddamn. HYPE ISRAEL

Haha, you and me are probably the only people who know about it in this thread. It looks pretty fun, but Path of Exile is dropping a new expansion on Friday with a ton of positive changes to melee characters(which are my favorite.) I do want to pickup Chaosbane in the future though.

The way you described how spells work is really cool sounding with a pad.

The whole OST is pretty awesome. I like the track on the 2nd level, it’s just so smooZe.

The Terry player Jackal? I used to get waxed by him early on in the game, but everytime I recently played against him it was the other way around. He’s a YOLO style player.

Jimmybones and D’nyce destroy me though, I think I’m like…15-1 against D’nyce in his favor. :rofl:

There are people playing but you need to hop on at peak hours. New characters and sales always bring in new blood, so when Area releases hop online and you should have a lot of competition.

Watch Dogs 2 was actually a critical darling but was launched in the fall and overshadowed. It improved on all the flaws of the original save some standard UBI Soft open world stuff.

My problem with Watchdogs is they were sand paper fucking dry. I kinda wish the series didn’t take itself so seriously and went with less realism so it could let lose a la Saints Row with crazy futuristic gadgets and tech. Always felt I was better off playing Saints Row or GTA when I devoted time to Watchdogs.

Watch Dogs 2 is less serious but all the characters are cookie clutter and forgettable.

I feel sorry for people who are too stubborn to give PSVR (or VR in general) a chance when I play games like Blood and Truth. God damn that game is so much fun.

I just don’t find the VR Library interesting. Not enough content to invest that much money into it.

I’m guessing (or wondering if) a lot of it is also because you don’t know what is out there. I didn’t myself until I had it. There are so many good VR games, a lot of them being like $20-$30. A lot of them are not your traditional games either, which is a nice breath of fresh air in an oversaturated hobby.

With all of the deals that have been around for VR, $250 for VR (obviously if you have a PS4) is a steal IMO.

I don’t think it’s stubbornness that’s preventing people from getting into VR. There’s two big barriers of entry for VR. VR sets are expansive and are a pain to set up. You’ll need semi-powerful hardware to get it to work properly. The total cost will scare off anybody who lives on a budget.

I don’t find VR even remotely interesting so I don’t actively look at its library. That said, what I’ve seen of their “must have” titles through trailers, reviews, let’s plays I use to watch that played VR Games…etc, they aren’t even remotely what I want when it comes to games.

Like…Moss is the only game that looks even remotely interesting. I got Trover Saves the Universe but I only got it because it has a non-VR mode.

Watching videos of VR and playing it is like apples to oranges. Videos of VR don’t do any kind of justice. I always thought videos looked so stupid of VR. It simply doesn’t relay the experience at all. I hated on VR for YEARS until I finally gave it a chance in the mall one random day. I was sold immediately.

Last night I was streaming Blood and Truth and I went back and looked at the video, and in the video you can’t even see me looking through the scope of a rifle. Like that is how different videos can be.

And on top of that, there’s simply no way to explain how the depth is until you try it.

But Moss is one of the best games for sure. I don’t know how you could be interested in Moss and not Astrobot. Those are 2 of the best games I’ve ever played.

Then you have games like Beatsaber, that you “may not be into” but I guarantee you that if you played it, you’d have a smile on your face the whole time and want to play more. I’ve let so many non gamer (and gamer) friends play my PSVR and they all think it’s so cool.

But one thing that sucks is if you get motion sick from it. There are some games that get me but I just steer clear of em. You don’t want to try and fight through it, not worth it.
