What is the last video game you played?

[Quintus 5,399]

They'll just do unveils on YouTube instead, it's cool. 

 

This year is a biggie for gaming. E3 being cancelled can't get in the way of next gen system reveals.

[Nick Parker 3,040]

Maybe they'll unveil those in a special Fortnite event.

Yeah, all the publishers will just release Nintendo-style directs and realize E3 is obsolete in terms of delivering a message to their audiences. It’s time for the trade show to die, especially after the ESA doxed thousands of journalists last year. All we really need are some nicely edited trailer reels. 

[King Mark 3,631]

you can;t do everything from your phone. I'd rather they continue thse events , it feels more real than a you tube video

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Are you going to these events live in person? So either way you’re watching a “YouTube video.” Except now we won’t have to endure hours of boring marketing speak and just get to watch cool trailers. 

[Quintus 5,399]

KM would rather these people risk further widespread transmission of coronovirus for his viewing pleasure. Gaming is after all an important hobby to him.

[King Mark 3,631]

no , I mean next year

[Bilbo 3,709]

Played The Last of Us over the last few days. 
 

I was a little apprehensive about it because of how underwhelming I found Uncharted but damn. This game lived up to every bit of hype over the last 7 years. Pre-ordered the second before I even finished the first. 
 

will play through the DLC tomorrow. 

[karelm 2,913]

I bought Doom Eternal and love it but it's so damn hard!  I'm only on level 1 and keep getting killed at the same spot because I run out of ammo. 

[Disco Stu 15,495]

Multiple outlets are giving that Half-Life VR game perfect scores.  I'm happy for the people who care about Half-Life!

 

 

[Jay 37,346]

I still feel like VR landed with a thud, overall

I’ve since finished TR2013 and started Rise of the Tomb Raider. Might have to look into buying a new game soon...

As someone who thinks Half-Life 2 was a hollow physics playground, this game looks awesome! Not that I'll play it anytime soon.

Chainsaw enemies to get more ammo. Also don’t stop moving! The game is designed around kinetic non-stop combat. It’s great!

New trailer for Shantae 5, which drops May 28th, the day before The Last of Us II & Xenoblade Chronicles 1 Definitive

 

 

Graphics look great, new powerups seem cool, sounds like they reused some voicework though

 

Should I play Shantae 4 since so far I've only played 3?  Hmmm.

Ehhhh. The third one is definitely the best of the series. The fourth one is kinda fun, but it feels like they rebooted it to be able to hit a wider demographic...the cute risque of the older games is practically nonexistent, and the humor didn't really hit me at all. The game was funded through Kickstarter, and did not receive all the funding they asked for, and it shows. The game was designed in a "modular" way, so that way if they couldn't get certain levels etc. funded it wouldn't hurt some core plan. As such, things don't really feel like they progress...it's not a bad game, in the end, but I'm lukewarm about it...as I am the first two Shantae games, if we're being honest.

[Jay 37,346]

I bought it on Switch the same time I bought Shantae 3, so I'll probably check it out.  I doubt I'll worry about beating it before playing 5, though.

[Nick Parker 3,040]

I doubt there'll be any significant plot development or whatever that you'd be missing, yeah.

[Edmilson 7,434]

Anyone else using the quarantine to play lots and lots of videogame? I didn't had the time to game in the Pre-Coronavirus Era of the World, but since I do now, I'm playing a lot of stuff:

 

Destiny 

I don't know why this game was so criticized, it's great! Lots of fun to shoot aliens when you're stressed. Sure, it's repetitive, all the missions are pretty much the same, but still fun.

 

Star Wars: Battlefront

Also a game that was better than I expected, although people are playing just the 12 player matches. I really wanted to try the 40 player matches, but 5 years since its release, there isn't that much people still playing it.

 

Call of Duty: Warzone

I had a prejudice against the Battle Royale genre much because it was associated with Fortnite and tweens, but this one is cool. I'm unfortunately terrible, but I hope to get better at this genre soon.

 

Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order

Started it today and played the first level. I really like it, it's like a mix between Uncharted and a Souls game for the combat, with a pretty cool atmosphere and wonderful graphics. I'm sure it will be a better Star Wars experience than that abomination released on theaters last December.

I wish I could, but my job never stopped so I just go out, mingle, and try to keep my coughing to a quiet minimum. 

[Nick Parker 3,040]

I've definitely been playing more than I have in a looooonngg time, but I don't buy video games very often. I did decide to pick up F.E.A.R. on Steam since it was on sale, I decided 15 years was a long enough wait to pull the trigger.

I really dislike Warzone for introducing custom classes and killstreaks into battle royale. It has a lot of potential but I think it’s pretty terrible in its current state. Blackout from a couple years ago is infinitely better, although unfortunately not free-to-play. 
 

That being said I still play a ton of regular multiplayer.

It's so damn hard and you run out of gas if you only use chainsaw.  It's too hard, getting to the point where I'm giving up because I keep running out of ammo with tons of baddies ganging up on me at the same spot after trying a dozen times.  And I'm on the easiest setting!   Isn't it possible to activate the ammo cheats?

There are cheats in the game, but they are collectibles you have to find. They are also only able to be activated on a replay of a mission.

 

The chainsaw has enough fuel for about two hits. Should be enough to get you around the arena you’re in. There’s always health and ammo scattered about. You really always have to be running around. I’ve died here and there but am managing fine on normal difficulty. I primarily use the shotgun and its sticky bomb secondary fire. 
 

What mission are you on?

The first mission.   I can't get past this asshole:

I get to the point where he starts glowing so I can extreme kill him but he restores before I kill him and I'm out of ammo.  The stupid shotgun only has 12 bullets so I can't horde extras that are around before.  I suck at games.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Ah yeah I had a little trouble with that room. Just keep at it. I think I completed it on my third try. 

[Holko 9,519]

Whew, AC Odyssey finished again. 100% plus both DLC this time.

 

Wait... Fate of Atla... that rings some other bell...

 

Spoiler

 

Aw yeah, here we go!

Image & Form confirms new SteamWorld game is in the works

[Jay 37,346]

OKAMI HD is on sale on the Nintendo Switch eShop for 12 bucks, should I pick it up?

 

https://www.dekudeals.com/items/okami-hd

[Jurassic Shark 12,061]

Save it for the next JW expansion!

[Jay 37,346]

Does that mean you've played Okami HD and don't recommend it, or are you just wasting my time?

[Holko 9,519]

It's Shark. Guess.

 

But to not be just as unhelpful: I remember I once found a video of it and found it really interesting, I have it on Steam, but didn't play much of it because I found the controls and UI a bit dated and clunky, or just weirdly ported at the time or just wasn't in the mood.

[Jay 37,346]

I watched the trailer again and was less impressed than I remembered.  I think I'll pass; My backlog mountainous right now anyway

The final seasons of Schitt's Creek and Modern Family were not affected, nor the current seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Westworld, Ozark or Better Call Saul

 

On the video game front, Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing still made it out, and people have even received the Final Fantasy VII remake early

[Disco Stu 15,495]

I'm assuming pretty much all the April and maybe even some May releases make it out as planned (digital releases at least).  After that, ghost town.

[Jay 37,346]

Video game development is still probably largely unaffected; since it involves a lot of independent work at your own computer, plus meetings that can pretty easily be done through the internet.

It's the pressing of finished games to discs and cartridges that won't be happening as planned

[King Mark 3,631]

So I finished Bard's Tale 4 Director's Cut. Been at it  for a month (122 hours playtime).  That's the type of game you really have to be invested in

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Because we've got nothing better to do now than play fucken' video games, I have a PS4. I was briefly amused by GTA, going to the strip club, beating up hookers and getting into violent altercations with law enforcement while endless helicopters descend upon me, but at this point, the system is just collecting dust. I took the remote, paired it with my phone and downloaded emulators and Crazy Taxi instead. Much better. 

[Jay 37,346]

Cooking Mama: Cookstar Could Be A Cryptocurrency Mining Operation

[King Mark 3,631]

So I started Dark Cloud 2 , a "classic" RPG of the PS2 from Level-5 (NinoKuni..).I usually avoid pre-HD era games, but this one has 3rd person view and great reviews. I'll play it for a little while and see if I want to finish it

 

 

 

[Edmilson 7,434]

Any PlayStation fans here? This is the joystick for the PS5, and yeah it'll be mostly white:

 

 

 

[King Mark 3,631]

I hope the "options" button is better

[King Mark 3,631]

Why the fuck am I reading about Animal Crossing everywhere  . I refuse to even know what it's about. Is that the new Candy Crush?

[Jay 37,346]

No, it's significantly older than that

[Wojo 2,453]

Is JWfan the new Google?
