As an action game, I prefer RDR1 vs. RDR2. With 2 they got way too far into the weeds with trying to have 800 types of food, a unique button for every function ever, item micromanagement, etc. It's 1/2 Second Life. It's a great game (or at least a great story/setting) hiding beneath a whole lot...

I'm sure it'll be the usual Assassin's Creed romp, but the setting feels years too late. Everybody and their mom has already made a game set in medieval Japan. A good chunk of them follow the AC playbook, too.

In all honesty, I haven't needed money minus that one gun. I bought a piece of shoulder armor super early that boosts 2 stats for 500 caps, but those are the only things I've really needed to buy. I guess there was one vendor selling power armor frames for like 5K, but I already have 7 of those...

Apparently I've done absolutely none of that, lol. I found around 15K in caps just playing, but that's it.

I totally missed out on that one, but (luckily) bought one with the same properties in the Nuka market. It cost pretty much everything I had, but that has to be in contention for the best gun in the game. Even just the normal handmade = elite. With stacking damage? Fuggedaboutit.

As expected, looks like patch #2 was 95% for the consoles: https://bethesda.net/en/article/0xBHwy048KMmWqzKkrknu/fallout-4-next-gen-update-2-notes

I've been lucky with ASUS, but this definitely isn't good. That said, it's better than Gigabyte which seems to operate all services in the west via Google translate. On the positive side, I've had nothing but great service from Corsair going back 15+ years. It's one reason my PC's are filled...

The Last of Us 2. The last chapters are pretty damn dark.

It's honestly pretty wild how massive the DLC's are in this game. I'm finally finishing up Nuka World and I spent more time exploring that area than most stand-alone games. My only disappointment is that it seems like all the gangs are using the same gear with different paint. At least minus...

Hopefully the PC version gets more attention that it did with the last patch. Maybe at least a fix for weapon debris? I don't think it's too much to ask for a fix for one of the basic system options. Either way, I'll just keep plugging along. I'm thinking that after I finish all the DLC, I'll...

Sticking with Fallout 4. The DLC stuff I never played before has expanded the game in a massive way. Nuka World alone is huge. I'm having fun building my compound, too. I never messed with it much originally, but I got the bug when playing 76 a few years ago.

I've definitely already noticed people breaking grabs more. It isn't as bad as T7's ability break 90% of throws by mashing jab all the time, but people are getting out more than they were. 14 frames is just enough to hit whatever button your finger was already on. Depending on the...

So what kind of game is this exactly? It looks like Diablo and Titan Quest, but people are talking about gathering supplies and building stuff? Am game for a vampire-themed Diablo clone, but I don't want another game that feels like work.

I don't think that has been implemented yet. It's in the patch notes for 1.05. Ducking is definitely the better option for reaction (especially if you have a big WS launcher), but stepping and walking would often beat grabs just by default in T7. I like grabs being a hard counter to side to side...

The 1.04 patch is live. People are interpreting the notes to mean that grabs are going to be steppable again in 1.05. Break windows have already been loosened and might continue to get easier. If things go back to Tekken 7's grappling rules I might bail again. EDIT: The new patch makes a weird...

Even beyond Samsung's software being wonky, it looks and works like complete garbage. Everything is still stylized like it's Android 4. Flat, single-colored, and ignoring the normal Android UI for button functionality. You can hide/disable and pretend those apps don't exist, but they still love...

That was always my issue. I've tried to play a few times and never could figure out what the hell I was supposed to do. People (even kids) seem to like it, but every time someone mentions the game it seems like they have a full posse of people they're playing with. Playing with online randos...

You can't uninstall their core apps like messenger, phone dialer, calendar, contacts, email, Samsung store, etc. without rooting your phone. You can hide them, but they're still there. Last I saw (the S21) they took up 9GB of space you couldn't do anything about, too.

Sales couldn't have been particularly strong. Anyone who was excited for the game probably got fed up with the half decade of delays. Mixed reviews couldn't have helped, either. People just wanted a new/advanced version of Black Flag.

That's more of a folding tablet. I'm interested in one like the Samsung Flip that decreases the footprint of a normal device. Current phones are getting too large to fit in my pockets and I'm not about to become one of those goobers with a holster. Until Samsung stops using their own system apps...

My Pixel 6 is basically still preforming like it's brand new. Battery life has barely changed at all. Maybe 5% over the course of 2.5 years. Since nobody but Samsung seems to want to make a folding phone I'll probably just keep rocking this thing until someone actually innovates. I'll never buy...

It's always tough to tell how much is true or not, but the team kept saying that they were given conflicting marching orders every few weeks. One minute they were making an MMO, then a vampire-themed Dishonored, then a Fallout clone, then a Destiny looter shooter knock-off. What we got was a bad...

Just tell me where, when, and why.

I'm legitimately impressed with the DLC stuff they added to the game. I didn't necessarily mean to start any of these, but I've had a total blast with the Automatron, Vault 88, and Nuka World missions. If you're at least level 20'ish, it's worth diving into all of 'em.

The level scaling is odd. It might've always been like this, but I'm definitely noticing it in this replay. I ran into a glowing ghoul that literally took 10 minutes of running around, 20 molotovs, 10 grenades, 200 rounds of minigun fire, and probably 20-30 rounds of 38, 308, and 10mm rounds...

For what it's worth, I feel like 60fps feels about as smooth as it ever has when you're running on high end hardware. At first I was disappointed, but after playing it for a few minutes I stopped caring.

I'm apparently the problem. I like it.

Good to know. I think I have that mission on my list. It's been so long since I've played that I don't remember what's what. I remember the Brotherhood of Steel airship, Fenway park, and the Enclave complexes but I have zero recollection what led me to any of those things. I think it's because...

Having never touched the later content, I'm enjoying the Vault 88 section of the game. There's a lot to do, the storyline is pretty amusing, and they're throwing tons of bosses, building materials, and XP at me. I think the zaniness that occurs in Fallout 3 and Oblivion has me scared to go too...

https://www.tekken-official.jp/tekken_news/?p=82#enCol The latest patch notes are up. Minus a slight damage nerf to his heat smash (which is totally justified), King was left alone. Considering how few tournament players are rocking the character, I think people are starting to realize that...

There's still something to be said for the Xbox being better than a comparably priced PC. At least for gaming. It might not be #1 console, but it gives people access to a Game Pass subscription and does it way better than a $500 PC. I see a need for one unless PC parts pricing falls off a cliff...

Akuma tends to pile on the damage in ideal situations, although Ryu/Ken often do more damage hit for hit. They always give him a boatload of extra tools, though. He has usually played the role of "glass cannon" with his super low health. The catch is that Capcom has almost never balanced him...

With so many fighting game characters claiming to use "karate" and doing a bunch of crazy supernatural shit, I appreciate Lidia.

No technical issues for me, although I forgot how brutal the game can be via level scaling. You can end up in some nigh unwinnable situations at times.

Looks like the same 'ol Akuma. If that's what you want, that's exactly what they delivered. I'm sure the waves of people who just keep jumping backwards and tossing fireballs are ecstatic.

If I get fed up with Fallout 4, I'll probably just start a new game of 76. I didn't think it was half bad back when it first came out and people say it's worlds better now. The gunplay in 76 much more natural than in 4. Since there's no VATS, it kinda had to be.

Good to know. My settings from 6 years ago were apparently retained as I didn't change anything. I started looking for a full-on fix, but apparently the mod loader people are using doesn't work with this update yet.

The weapon debris/RTX thing seems odd. I mean...that has to be a pretty big chunk of the population playing this game right now. You'd think that would be a priority with this update, but apparently not. If isn't fixable, maybe disable it automatically when it does the hardware detection thing?

Welp, I probably waited for this patch for no reason :P Luckily I only just reinstalled the game last week, so no big deal.

The update is now live.
