Video Game General v8.01D : PC Gaming Golden Age, Big Box (Part 1)

think im like half way through gears 4. its fun

I also tried out gears tactics a week or two ago. Its ok for a strategy game I suppose but its not for me cause of the turn based shits.

RL going free to play, but only on Epic.

It will support cross platform progression though, so that’s cool. And legacy players are getting a bunch of cool swag.

My nearest gamestop store closed as well. Gamestop might be closing stores that were already struggling. They had an order online and pick up service for a while looks like that didn’t work. The FFVIIr flyer they had on the window sure looked awesome.

With play & trade gone, toys r us gone, gamestop gone my olny local options for gaming needs which still remain are best buy, target and wallmart, shieet!.

I have hated on gamestop a few times but I have also praised them other times. To see them gone thou I can’t help but feel a little sad, just a little.

Last time I went to gamestop, 5 or so years ago, was to get a charger cable for my ds3. Fucker gave me the cable for a ds4. Fuckin’ jerk. I had to go back but he exchanged it. I think that one might be closed. I looked at it last time we drove by it but I couldnt tell. Signs and shit were up but it was dark.

I haven’t checked on my local Gamestops, when we go back to closing nonessential businesses again I assume that will be the death nail. I have read articles that Dunkin’ is closing 800 locations while McDonald’s is closing 200 (most of those are associated with Walmart in-store locations).

Closing in on the end of Max Payne, despite it’s harsh difficulty, it’s such a great game. Never got to experience it back in the day but I’m so glad I’m playing it now. It really baffles me how you can have such a simple premise overall with some great set pieces and nice little quotes but fuck up a movie of it so easily.

You should of been in the Star Wars thread some times back.
The videos posted trying to explain why the Last Jedi is so bad that was longer than all 9 movies put together.

man, they need to bring back Ice-T’s character Aaron Griffin for Gears 5.

I’m curious what’s up with the legalities there— I’m sure MS and/or ā€œThe Coalitionā€ own the character ā€œAaron Griffinā€, but he is so closely identifiable by having Ice-T’s voice, it’s a problem if he didn’t agree to come back to voice new lines… I wonder if they could get away with simply re-using the stuff he already recorded for earlier games? …and if a company just reuses lines from an older game would they be obligated to pay him again since it’s not new voice-work? I guess it all depends on whatever deal they had with Ice-T in the beginning.

If I were them I’d go all out with the characters…there’s a lot of named characters which could be easy rollouts for multiplayer; that’s potential extra money they’re letting slip away by NOT putting it on the store constantly.

…would’ve been cool if they had the Arnold-looking version of T-800… I bet they probably tried but the deal fell through or something, since there are some Terminator characters in the game, but nothing with Arnold’s look.

I been playing Max Payne 3 here and there. Its my favorite mp game. The gunplay in that game is top notch. Max dont cur

They are technically not McDonalds locations, as all the Staff are technically Walmart staff, but Walmart don’t treat them as such.
McDs been closing Wallmart locations for a while now, as they are ending their contract with Walmart.

You gonna play the other two? They are equally as good as the first imo. Whole series is absolutly worth it.

One the very few things I liked about Captain Marvel was the fact they showed Blockbuster. Kids these days never experienced the feels of going through those aisles and pick up a game. Memories man

Oh most definitely, I’ve played 3 before a while back and adored it. 2 was always weird to me because Max’s remodel/redesign looks kinda like a British soap actor and once I made the connection it’s become very hard for me not to see it.

Nice to see Max Payne get some love, especially part 3 which somehow ended up being my favorite.

Part 3 was balls hard, in a good way. And that final airport level had some boss-like music

Gonna have to grab part 2 cuz I never got to play it unfortunately. Rockstar should release them all in a collection pack
