Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Also announced at the Xbox direct, Ninja Gaiden 4 is coming out later this as well.

A full-scale remake of Ninja Gaiden 2 also got shadow dropped and is available to purchase right now

It’s so cold out that I’m playing Frostpunk again.

Doom The Dark Ages is coming May 15th. Sweet

So it turns out this exchange actually got Resident Evil put into the Guinness World Record for “Worst dialogue in a video game”.

I’ll never trust Guinness World Records again. That’s art right there I tell you what.

How many games gives children motorcycles they can ride?

Veilguard has reportedly failed to meet EA expectations. Despite selling a whopping 1.5 or so million copies it only reached half of what EA wanted.

It’s a good thing Veilguard resolved most of the series’ mysteries, because it might be the last entry we get.

Fallout News Vegas seems to be functioning fine, maybe all those “game is a buggy mess” ranters were exaggerating.

Oh hey I reached Black Mount-

It crashed, ok let me try again.

Another crash, once more then?

Yikes, I see the complaints now…

@CaptainXtra
That 18 month development didn’t do it any favors. You really need mods to make it run stable.

@Mikey
Oh and you can noclip outside the world because Obsidian didn’t get the tool that edits the world border (Only Bethesda can, it’s never been released to the public and may even be locked down in the exe for all we know. If anyone wants to prove me wrong, go ahead)

@Wiimeiser
I’ve never noclipped out of the world.

@Mikey
You need tcl (or glitches) to do it, because Obsidian was smart enough to surround the area with invisible walls. Normally Bethesda games don’t allow going past the world border even with tcl.

Finished Unicorn Overlord (and before you asked, yes, I romanced the fox girl).

This is definitely a game that takes a while to really get going, but once you get past those 8 or so hours of padding and figuring shit out, it really gets engaging.

It scratches that tactical RPG itch that Fire Emblem: Three Houses made me realize I had, and it does so in a way filled with some beautiful visuals (I’m a suckered for gorgeous 2D art in a video game), a mostly solid cast, and a plot that managed to make almost everyone in a war scenario feel sympathetic in some regard (while also avoiding the Steven Universe pitfall of redeeming the fascist main villain at the end).

That being said, the difficulty balance of this game really needed to be ironed out. A good majority of the game is rather easy, but there are two fights against Galarious (one within the first act, and one at the very end) that are just utter bullshit. I got so fed up with the latter in particular that I ended up cheesing the fucker with a Swordmaster.

Also, this game is surprisingly lacking in post-game content (or much of a reason to replay it TBH). Yeah, you get one last side mission, and a chance to recruit characters who either died or didn’t join in the main scenario, but it comes without much fanfare, and by that point, the only real use for them is in the colluseum. There isn’t even a New Game Plus, or anything like that. I wasn’t expecting like 30 hours of extra content, but I figured if they were gonna give us those characters, there would’ve at least been something else.

But yeah, it’s definitely still a great game overall, and I think Fire Emblem fans in particular will get a kick out of this game (it even has the rapport social link relationship system and everything).

Alright, that’s two relatively beefy RPGs finished back to back, so I think my next game will be something a bit different…

I suppose I could finally see what all the fuss is about with The Last of Us.

@Penguin Dragneel
That part you have in spoilers is what some FE games have known as the Creature Campaign. The only one I did was Awakening’s since it’s CC is available right before the final boss.

And good luck with TLoU.

It’s hilarious to me that speedrunners says that Freedom Planet is both a technical marvel for its time and also a miracle it works as well as it does.

I don’t trust speed runners.

They hate the games they play so much they try to finish it as fast as possible.

@Dustcan
They hate it so much most but in hundreds or thousands of hours into the games.

Just so they spend less time with it each playthrough.

@Dustcan
It’s advanced hate-watching.

What if the voice acting in the first Resident Evil is INTENTIONALLY bad, to go with the B-movie feel?

@Background Pony #B620
IDK if that’s a theory which has been confirmed.

@Meanlucario
I mean, the devs straight up admitted that the game’s held together with scotch tape and glue. It’s the main reason why they switched to Unity for the sequel (and why they ended up scrapping plans for FP1 DLC).

@Angrybrony

I’m playing Resident Evil: Director’s Cut for the first time, but I keep dying. How do I get good?

Shoot a zombi till it falls down, then knife it to finish it off. If it starts to get up then cut your losses, run away, then shoot it again. You’ll save ammo that way

If a zombie is on the ground it might bite your leg. You’ll take damage but your character will stomp on it to kill it instantly. If you’re low on ammo but high on healing items then it might be a worthwhile trade.

You can reload in your inventory screen. Use this to bypass the reload animation.

Always carry at least one healing item on you. If possible, make sure it’s a combined herb rather than just a single green.
