I've heard mediocre things, but I wanna try it too. The character creator part is fucking great at the very least.

FF15 is literally how I wish FF Online would actually be as a game.

I use a PS4 controller on my PC. It's the hardest one to pair to a computer and it takes all of like 10 seconds. It really is worth it for a lot of PC games. Pretty much anything that isn't twitchy like FPS games where a controller puts you at a disadvantage.

From Software had a teaser too, hoping we get a full reveal at PSX but the current rumour is a Tenchu game.

Fucking longest trailer in the history of gaming, and I still have no idea what the fuck this game is.

Cuphead rules. Finally beat the ghost train after like 20 tries.
Need to beat that queen bee cunt now |
I guess SC6 takes place between Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Good. Screw that Natsu bitch. Taki 4 lyfe.
Also, hoping this is the game where Ivy gets all her stances back and plays like her SC 2 version. One of my favorite styles in a fighting game but she hasn't been as fun the last few times. |
SoulCalibur is my fave fighting game series. I will be watching intently. So far the reboot/interquel setting is good. The new gameplay details seem vaguely worded with the buzzwords and such.

Played the Monster Hunter: World beta.
Wish there was some more............depth. 3 monsters to hunt down at easy, medium, and hard difficulties. All weapons opened up, some armor pieces to choose from. Basically, find monster tracks, kill monster, reset. Will mess around with it some more try most of the weapons and see what I'm comfortable with. Learn the controls, too. Used the Insect Glaive the first go-around and it was smooth. |
So you hunt monsters in Monster Hunter?

Everyone who bought Street Fighter 2 for the switch probably not too happy right now.
|
It doesn't include Ultra SF2. They probably didn't include it for exactly that reason.
|
Well no, but it includes every other version of SF 2, Alpha, and SF 3.
If I knew this was coming out, I can't say I would have bothered with Ultra. |
Quote:
|
It's also missing HD Remix, Alpha 2 Gold, and Alpha 3 Double Upper.
|
I don't know why most collections ignore both of those Alpha versions. Are they seen as unbalanced competitively or something?
|
Alpha 2 Gold is actually thought to be the prime of the alpha series, as is Super Turbo in 2 and 3rd Strike in III. So it's exclusion is baffling. I would have it replace Alpha 2 altogether.
Alpha 3 Double Upper is a bit of a hard case. It's only releases were a handheld and DC at the turn of new consoles so it's not clear how good or broken it is as it didn't really have a big scene. Also some are speculating that they focused on everything that had an arcade release, which is why we have Hyper Fighting rather than SF 2 Turbo. |
Zero 2 Alpha was released in the arcade, at least in Japan, which just makes it weirder.
|
Is each Street Fighter 2 game completely different or something? Feels weird people keep buying the same game.
|
Quote:
|
Plus there's the simple historical and collector motivation for this package over competitive gameplay. 3rd Strike is the only SF3 worth taking seriously but it's nice to have the other two.
And what's notable is SF1 seeing a re-release and Alpha 3 having online play for the first time (outside of unofficial networks like GGPO). |
Alpha 2 not having online is a bit of a personal bummer, but I can see why they want to limit the number of games.
Shame there's not that SF2 Anniversary version where you could pick the different versions of characters, but with so much there, it's kind of nitpicking. |
If Disney buy Fox, they should be able to use XMen again and do a COTA/Marvel SH and Vs. 2D collection.

According to reports, Star Wars Battlefront II sold well under 1 million copies last month and got outsold roughly 5-to-1 by Call of Duty WW2.
EA was expecting around 1.7 million sales last month even with the recent controversies and sold around 880k copies instead. For some comparisons, launch week was 60% lower than the previous game in terms of physical sales. https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertc.../#325ebea22b38 |

Fucking awesome. I figured Beerus was a lock, but I suspected Goku Black and Hit would be DLC if they got in at all.
Good choices though, as they all have a unique style on the show. |

In Dragonball Fighter Z meeting certain conditions can give you a special cinematic mirroring the show. For example, beating Yamcha with Nappa's Saiba man attack gives you Yamchas death scene from the show.

Same guy who's been leaking fighting game news for the past year has leaked that Bardock, Brolly, Base Goku and Base Vegeta are going to be DLC for Dragon Ball Fighter Z.
Obviously Vegeta and Goku are a controversial decision. Personally, I'm happy if it's true. Saiyan/Namek saga Goku and Vegeta are my favorite versions of the characters, and there is a wealth of material that they can pull from to ensure they play completely differently from their SSJ versions. But I can understand how others who want completely different characters might be upset. |
Just wanna get it out of my system that four player squad PUBG is fucking awesome. I went into that game thinking it would be an intense solo game, but grouping with friends is significantly more entertaining.

Alright, I got it on a whim. Paid for it this time so you better not disappear and never play it this time, alvy.

Made it to 14th on my first go.
definitely has that early access jankiness. Kalyx would hate it lol. The tension is amazing though. Even just running to the next set of buildings is intense. Only got one kill, but it was great. Tricked a guy into coming into building after me. He tried to flank and come in from the side, but I had gone out the back and hit him with the shotty. Think I'm gonna really like this, but I want to play with other people. 2 questions 1. Do the duo and squad modes match you up with randos or do you have to have friends? 2. I got a 4x scope and equipped it but I can't figure out how to actually use it or even aim down the scope. |

Yeah, the love they have for DBZ is apparent. This is definitely a passion project.
For instance with Teen Gohan's lvl 3 one handed Kamehameha super, you can sacrifice 2 more bars to make him extend it and slowly walk forward, like he did in the climax of the Cell battle. Little touches like that are really impressive. |

Mankind Divided and Telltale Batman.
I suggest everyone get their hands on Deus Ex. Great game. |
Yeah, has its flaws, but it's still really good.

Can you purchase dlc on steam if you don't own the game it's for? Because I was gonna make a thread in wrestling for the Takayama dlc, since thats the only way for people outside of japan to contribute without jumping through a bunch of hoops.
|
Based on Steam's forums, seems you have to own the game itself in order to buy DLC unless you gift it to someone else.
Know on the eShop it will ask you need to own the game in order to be playable but doesn't restrict buying it. Same for Xbox Marketplace. |

Red Dead Redemption 2 currently rumored to be arriving by June 8th according to recent leak by a Danish retailer.
Adding some credibility to the rumor is this being the same retailer who leaked GTA V's release date which later turned out to be correct. https://www.destructoid.com/rumor-re...r-480100.phtml |
Despite gta v being the most successful game of all timd i hope red dead 2 does not take direction from it...i want solo Rockstar games...
|
There's going to be multiplayer and there's going to be a currency for it. The 60 hour single player will still be there I'm sure though.
They're not going to turn down millions of extra money. |
60 hours of single player wasnt there for gta 5. 25-30
|
And yeah in all likelihood this is the last rockstar game i play before i admit im not in the demo anymore
|
Quote:
The first game had multiplayer as well but very likely Rockstar expands it with a GTA Online-like system for this game. |
Though it doesn't have a linear narrative GTA Online really have a great deal of content and progression. It's unlikely they'll stop doing a main story. Do not see the issue.
