Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

I have a strong feeling just off the bat from seeing ‘button mash’ in the headlines that this review is on some massive shit. Exactly how many IQ points am I gonna lose upon finishing this review?

I have not heard anything about it on latin amertican sites.

@Hawkingbird I’m gonna try the new tracks for the first time if you wanna check it out. Gonna jump straight into expert.

No one read this review. Apparently it spoils a major plot point. People in the comments are roasting the "journalist’ that wrote this.

Caught the last two songs of the stream. Dude, I wouldn’t get past the opening notes on expert much less finish it with an s rank where I’m at now. I’m still doing the campaign and getting the rhythm of normal difficulty down. Doing all those songs on expert must have been one hell of a workout.

Yeah I got S on all 6 of the new songs on my first attempts at em other than the 4th one. Few of em I failed a few times but 3 of em I beat from the get go. I was gonna go for the S on the one I got an A on but was too hot so said fuck it lol. I’ll do it later.

Most of the new songs are good. I like em all except one is just alright to me. Playing it was kinda fun though cause it has good rythym.

You will gradually work up to expert most likely. Once hard start to feel “easy” is when I tried expert. Also playing some songs with no fail turned on just to figure out where the notes are helps with it a lot. That is how I finished some songs on expert+. Expert+ is kinda dumb though. Like it’s too fast and it’s so fast that it’s not even to the beat.

I honestly think that Resident Evil without cheese is just drab. Resident Evil 2 Remake didn’t add enough to justify what it removed. While the added orphanage bit was great, the separate campaigns were made too similar and certain sections like the sewers had many of their interesting segments removed or made irrelevant.

P.S. Chris on Rockford island really sold me on the fact that he was searching for his sister.

Got these today. Interested to watch the wife play Man of Medan.

Chris learns it’s pointless to be there the moment he gets there. If you kill the worm fast enough to save the jailer he’ll told you Claire made it out before he dies. The only thing that really happens with Chris in Rockford is knowing Wesker is alive. I would like to his portion of Rockford cut and have him start in the Arctic base. That’s where his involvement becomes important.

Yes. Got it from Magfest for the wife. Its pretty comfy! I got a Zelda one for myself that I got from the Nintendo NY store.

Edit: Its actually in that picture sorta. It black and yellow.

im playing that 2D sprite game Titan Souls.
bought it. cost like 4 bucks on steam.
its 100% like Shadow of the Colossus in every way except …its fucking way harder.
this. involves alotta freaking strategy.
it lets you choose between 4 bosses to first fight.
i think 16 bosses in total for the entire game.
im fighting the cube boss.
i must have died about 25 times now.
still havent beaten him but i know exactly how now. i just havent gotten the timing of when to toss out my killing blow yet.
i dont say this often but, this fuckin game is incredible!!! i havent had this much fun since the 1st day i played Dead Cells.
its good. real good. i highly highly recommend you guys try out Titan Souls
besides. its 4 bucks

p.s. the music is awesome.

It informs him where she went and it definitely cements that he is a few steps behind her, but the remake could probably do away with it.

They could just make it a more meaningful part of the game.

The makers of Bus Simulator are trying to tell me their EU physical copies are region locked…on the PS4.

I don’t want the game on PS4, but physical would be worth it. But since they are doing this practice to ensure I can’t have a disc, I may have to skip the game. $35 dollars for a download?

I can spend 30+ on DLC if the original 60 physical game was worth it. I did it for Test Drive Unlimited, and Mass Effect 1 and 2. But 35 on the game itself, with the inability to actually own something? That price needs to be free.99, no more than $20.

I mean, I raged at Friday the 13 getting physical copy after the fact, and Power Rangers BFTG also getting limilted physical release after I paid for the ability to play those games. Not bought, as I don’t have shit. If they decide you can’t play them after some time, you done son!

They need to show plans for media next gen, so I can know if I need to build another PC. Digital only, or mostly digital, might as well play the best version with free (if garbage hacker filled) online, and less cost per game.

Woo dat intro pretty hype.

I hate not picking up Astral Chain yesterday… I was just watching someone stream the beginning of it live…had to stop of course since I don’t want to spoil too much for myself… once stores open up this morning I’m on the hunt for this (heh, since I would rather have the physical cart, as usual)

there’s so much to play it’s getting increasingly difficult to keep up in the modern era… I’m still hooked on Diablo 3 after all these years… just got my seasonal wizard to paragon 31 …one piece of the Vyr’s set; soon the true godlike power will be acquired…

…and THEN I noticed the latest update for Marvel UA 3 is out! On top of that, my precious GEARS 5 will be available next Thursday night… THEN Borderlands 3 on Friday of the next week!!! Fortunately I took some days off that week (yes, the whole vacation was intended for Gears & Borderlands)

sidenote–ol “darksfadil” Phil continues to be so amusingly out of touch… yep he’s skipping Astral Chain AND Remnant, apparently… and I’m doubting he will stream Gears or Borderlands.
