    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - coming September 5th

    For anyone who is like me, the antithesis of "no spoilers" and who has to know as much as possible, below is the story premise/outline of S2 I managed to piece together from the design docs etc. Within a couple of spoiler marks to avoid any accidents. I'll also leave out anything related to the...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - coming September 5th

    The Russians who hacked GSC and their design documents, concepts and dev build (Vestnik TSS/Вестник «Того Самого Сталкера») said what there is, indeed looks very, very good. The few things they are worried about include of course things like Skyrim quest markers (damn Westerners*), but few of...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - coming September 5th

    I guess it's the best topic to ask that - is there anyone (99% Russian speaking) who managed to decipher the plot based on the information we have so far (that 16gb leak/Nick Frost)? I think I pieced together a lot of it, but for all context etc. fluency in Russian is a must here. I also tried...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Bosses will tire you though. With how fuckhueg this game is, and how even before NG+ you can easily reach e.g. 120lvl, with a dozen of estuses upgraded to restore most of total health, it's "counterbalanced" by you getting one or two-shotted, or what essentially amounts to it, among other...

    From Software Bloodborne. Discuss or die!

    By all means, I'd say definitely do it especially if you have friends that can play it with you. Even if it's the core box alone, which is dozens of hours of fun by itself. As is usual with games like that, the core components like Yharnam street tiles is what you'll be seeing most of the time...

    From Software Bloodborne. Discuss or die!

    BTW the Rulebook is gibberish and unclear, so I had to watch hour long explanation videos and read 50 point FAQ posts to piece everything together, which is hilariously also a successful adaptation of a From game's "lore".

    From Software Bloodborne. Discuss or die!

    The general consensus is that, yes, it's a far more successful endeavor (both adaptation and actual game itself) than Dark Souls TBG. (Which was done by completely different company. albeit CMON already did a couple of years a BB Card Game before this, whiich I actually played) I'll start with...

    From Software Bloodborne. Discuss or die!

    So I got a little carried away... (pad for size comparison). It doesn't look like much but I got lightheaded and overwhelmed after only opening just the core box+extras. By some miracle I found that close to original Kickstarter price among all those japanese autists listing used shit for...

    Getting squeamish about realistic butchery in videogames

    Speaking of satisfying gibs, I unironically find close to perfection (modded) Fallout New Vegas. The ridiculous graphics of “bloody mess” (with or without a perk) combined with stellar sound - both “meaty”, squishy ludicrous gibs, as well as weapons. NV is the best gun porn, there is no other...

    Vapourware Fallout 4 Total Conversions - Now with Fallout: London "Coming Soon™"

    I always smh when people say like Point Lookout is halfway decent or whatever, but it’s some of the worst writing I’ve seen, ever. I think I did a short “let’s play” here a decade ago or so for fun, but it makes vanilla Fallout 3 look like War & Peace in comparison to that. Just look up main...

    World of Warcraft: Dragon Desperation

    I wholeheartedly agree, because even with decline slowly creeping in (homogenizing classes, DF in the form that it was in etc) the atmosphere, art direction etc was WoW at its best. Although I still have a bit of a soft spot for Cataclysm, because: - The expansion started off rather strong and...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    I just played DeS on the emulator, it's great, I wholly recommend it. There's an issue where rolling through boxes, tables etc. lags the game, but it's fully fixed by setting "Preferred SPU threads" to 4. Bloodborne is their magnum opus though. Sadly it's either Sony's hardware or shovelware if...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Also, maybe I didn't git gud there, but attack such as Godskin fatass rolling around for up 10 seconds. How do you even avoid something like that? Or is it just designed to trade estus charges from the player?

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Bloodborne, not particularly. Sure it was the "fast and aggressive" game(it feels like Dear Esther compared to Sekiro tho), but throughout the game the bosses stayed relatively simple, 99% of the time doing one attack or 2-3 at most. You could further cripple their limbs, stun or parry most of...
