Cool trailer, if way too short. The question remains though, when's Baiken?
Hopefully in the oven, getting a redesign closer to her original looks than Xrd's mess.

I'm not sure if we have an "interesting Kickstarters" kind of thread, but this looks super interesting (PC only so far):

David Gaider
Troy Baker
Laura Bailey

The budget analysis seems credible, they already have some start-up funding... I think I'm in!
It got a thread some days ago: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ch...of-dragon-age-and-pillars-of-eternity.146311/

It looks rough around the edges but interesting theme.

Teeth I started Gears Judgement, after first chapter i can't say that i am impressed. So far it really looks like horde mode with few changes and a story xD
I mean, what is really the difference between the encounters in Judgment vs the encounters in the rest of the Gears games? You go through a door, you fight rock goblins, you progress forward, fight more rock goblins, go through another door or slow-walk-and-talk, etc.

Mainly what Judgment does is cut out most of the slow-walk sections, turret sections, boring "horror" levels, terrible vehicle sections, etc. Yeah, the explicit gamification of each area makes it feel like less of a journey and more of, well, a game...but by the fourth Gears game, I was okay with that change (especially since 4 and 5 go back to lots of walk and talk sections).

And yeah, the literal 'defend this point' sections are literally Horde, but Horde is fun, so I'm fine with it.

What you will get is really fun variations on Gears encounters, especially if you do all the declassified stuff (which, if you aren't...why are you even playing Judgment? Hahahah). You'll also get the most enemy variety, situational variety, and weapon variety in the Gears series.

I think I said it back when we first discussed it, which is...while Judgment may not be the best first-time through Gears game, it's definitely the best Gears game to replay (especially with the procedurally generated enemy spawns). It also has some fun Gears lore regarding the UIR, with Paduk and Sofia (and an interesting later level), which has a slight pay-off when you get to Gears 5. It also has, by far, the best playing last boss in the series. Oh, and once you're done with Judgment's campaign, you get a really solid bonus chapter that is lifted straight out of Gears 3 (including the standard campaign format, control scheme, and 'go on a contiguous journey' feeling).

And like I said way back then, I totally understand not liking Judgment, as it's entirely dependent on what you come to the series, or games in general, for. It's less 'journey' and more 'just action'. If you're in it for the sense of adventure, characters (though I'd argue that Paduk and Sofia are good additions) and meaningful story impact, then yeah, Judgment does not deliver at all. But if you like Gears for the fun combat setups, enemy variety, and encounter design, Judgment is ace (there's even a really good 'storming of Normandy' level).

Can we avoid posting super gore pics in the middle of a thread that's not explicitly about MK?
You wouldn't do that with tits, don't do that with a ribcage.

I guess i like those downtimes. For example when i played Doom 2016 i liked game but i was getting tired when there were too many arenas after arenas. I like slow moments in games after intense moments.

Totally understandable. I'd still say Gears 3 is overall the better game (because those elements probably do elevate the package ultimately), but on replay, stuff like the level where you go back to Maria's grave and touch a bunch of buttons on pipes, or the submarine level, or the ash level before meeting Ice T, all feel like a real slog.

I usually replay games to experience story again not for the gameplay. There are exceptions like immersive sim games that i play again for the gameplay. So i guess Judgement is not meant for people like me. I mean it is still Gears game that is bit light on story (so far) and with bit differently designed encounters.

Repost from the other thread. Help please.
If it happens on every boot, right click the taskbar, go to task manager and the start-up tab, disable everything there, reboot and see if it happens again. If it doesn't happen anymore, start enabling things and narrow it down that way.
After you narrow it down, reinstall that program.

What does your favorites tab look like y'all?
I'm boring and simply fav the games I am currently playing.

  • ASTRONEER is my current relaxation game. Just wandering around, making paths, gathering stuff. It's great!
  • Really happy I started Bioshock 2 again, it's such a fantastic game. Got put on hold due to an event in Dying Light but I'm itching to get back to it.
  • Dark Souls III is currently only for co-oping so it's going slow. I'm done with all the covenant item farming and we're just having fun with NG+ now.
  • I'm also happy that I picked Dying Light back up. Finally 100%ed the main game and I'm about half way through The Following I think. The current event called "Deadeye's Promise" is perfect for me because I pretty much only use bows. I'm trying to finish the expansion before the event ends.
  • The Letter is taking me quite some time to finish. I'm at 45 hours and I still have like 50% of the stuff in chapter 7 left to unlock. I was gonna play a lot of spooky games this month but this game took way more time than I thought it would!

A friend of mine bought me Star Citizen and I don't know why but it runs like poo at 1080p on my HTPC. It's a Ryzen 5 2600 with a 2080 Ti Soni expected it to run decent. Anyone have any experience with what could be causing massive stuttering.

Ugh... the only thing that prevents me from trying the new beta is the old horizontal banner some games still have. I know you can manually put custom images for that, but it'll be a slog for my huge library.

I really love it. Was fun to revisit it. Played it to death on the PS3 at launch. I know people have reservations about the price but totally worth it to me. Holds up so well and personally a better game that the second one. Love two as well!
Random shot in the dark, but are you aware of any save converters to bring a PS3 save forward to the remaster. I made some decent progress a couple of years back, but didn't get around to finishing it. Wouldn't want to restart if I didn't have to.
