Likewise. My wife has zero interest in games but is always fascinated by the fact that I play Japanese games (with Japanese voiceovers) - I make sure that Yakuza is a laptop only job - no big TV Yakuza for me

 

 

I justify this to my wife (and myself I guess) by saying 'it's only zombies right?' but Days Gone is a violent game, no doubt about it. Is it any different to watching a horror movie though? It's escapist entertainment - who would really want to be stuck in a post-apocalyptic zombie nightmare?

 

Why no big screen Yakuza? Am I missing something?

really bad team members can ruin any game type but particularly true here. we had one chap go 1 and 7. he also did not seem to understand he could revive team mates. it is impossible to carry that chap in this game mode. even if you are @TommyG level. 

Really makes you want to shout out in chat “LarryStix598, stop running straight to your death!”

The visor you can earn, let’s be honest, looks shit. But comedy shit, because I had one match where 3 of us were rocking various green shades of armour and a visor and it was full on like a ninja turtles alternate universe. I wish you could choose to team up with randoms after a good game.

I haven’t really had issues getting into BTB. I had one time where it put me in a game without any HUD tho. No crosshairs. Lol.

Quit my first match last night. I jumped over the get the sword on a team slayer I think and was followed by one of my team who started hitting /shooting me. 
 

Alright, I dropped the sword, he took it, vanished and I was almost immediately killed by someone on the other team who had got hold of the sword from this schmuck. Proper tilted.

Had a horrible set of matches after, couldn’t aim for shit, put it down to being tired (my eyes were well tired) and turned it off.

Next day my kid is saying what’s up with the TV it looks weird and he can’t hit anything on Halo and it hurts his eyes. It was in a different mode from Game mode somehow. Amazing that such a thing makes such a big difference.

What is wrong with these people? Why are they not shooting back?

What do you mean? They are shooting at other people. The answer you want is probably “because they are crap”, which is also true.

That’s really nice of you Talvalin but Jesus Christ I clicked on that link and I’ve had 2 aneurysms already. Mobile friendly, it is not. Will try and view on iPad.
 

I played 2 stressful games of noshi aka no shields aka Tactical Slayer. Christ. On one, I had 21kills and 3 or 4 deaths. People really are clueless! But I don’t like it it’s still too stressful.

Also despite my heroic effort I couldn’t pull this back for a win:

I don’t think that smart contracts that pass a percentage to the originator are the standard, and even where they are used, most NFT art was actually produced by work for hire artists who don’t get any of that money. The firm that minted the NFT does.

 

I think they are the norm, and if the NFT creator is the artist then it bypasses the “firm”. 
 

Either way, if you cut through the bullshit there’s a chance for people to get closer to artists they like (in music, illustration whatever) in exactly the same way they do when they buy a limited edition album or a members only limited print. The never-NFT Artists seems to me like old painters rejecting doing work on computers. Fair enough, the line is different for everyone.

One shot + melee for both the bulldog and mangler will kill someone outright.

 

@sir stiff_one Think the first few pages of the thread have people's tags in, but not sure who is still playing. Most people still posting here have their tags in their signatures, just add em up. 

Don’t have sigs on on mobile. Dang. Ok. I’ll check the first pages, thanks.

as I was not satisfied with your answers I have done a review myself of the events . I could not accept that I had missed an entire clip. and indeed this was not the case. turns out, I can blame my team mates.

 

dude comes through the door and is already low on health on a 1v3 with me holding the shotgun. exhibit one

 

  Hide contents

 

dude gets shot by me straight in the face but this somehow does not pop his shield. exhibit two

 

  Hide contents

 

dude gets hit by damage from a nade which finally breaks his shield. exhibit three

 

  Hide contents

 

dude receives what should have been the killer shot in the buttogs. however my team mates flailing corpe blocks my shot. exhibit four

 

  Hide contents

 

dude receives killer blow on the final round of the magazine and the respective medal is awarded. exhibit five

 

  Hide contents

 

this was a lunch break well spent. 

 

I was thinking of doing the same but thought nah fuck it. You were miles away the first shot and then you kept shooting all around him. We’ve all done it. Shotgun is and always has been an up close shoot/melee death. 
 

It was just a messy kill, probably doesn’t that need much further analysis. 

Haha I thought, I reckon I could do this, my top 5 ever, right?

Then I look down the first page and nod yes at at least a dozen titles. 

I’m out.

There's loads of people here you can add up and jump in with dude ^^

Where does one start doing this? Is there a mediocre players group listed anywhere

can I get some opinions about what is going on here? am I missing? should I not aim center mass?

 

 

You should try making the bullets go into the other player if you want to kill them quicker.

Ok I don’t really have highlights most of the time as I’m not a particularly skilful player, but I have a nice barrel throw from miles away and also this 30 second stretch never to be repeated. Apologies for literally just filming the screen on my phone.

Haha they are all “this particular alien seemed to take pleasure in torturing humans and wiped out a squadron/small town of marines/people, she/he’s a nasty piece of work.

got it, go in kill em and get a sweet gun unlocked.

Anyways, completed it!

Bosses: shit

Some levels: excellent

Open world: sparse but quite magical. Military Spiderman fighting aliens. It’s my bag but not enough secrets stuffed into the open world map. 
 

Liked it a lot. Spent ages wandering round collecting everything I could. Nothing left to do now. Back to multiplayer. Give some more DLC missions!

Bosses: shit!

Exactly this. As a game designer your job is to provide players with the choice to play a game how the player wants, not to ram down your own preferences down their throats. 

How old are you out of interest? Like not in an aggressive way at all.

I ended up with one of these at home, not sure how, and eventually a floppy drive, probably through my headmistress gran. Loved playing Arcadians, Citadel, Barbarian, Tetrapod and all sorts. Strykers Run! 

Sir Stiff One

if anyone wants to add me and and me to a group. I’m not good.

BC coupled with no digital release in lots of countries and a thirst for Ridge Racer that Namco are happy to continue ignoring.

Has it happened with any other non digitally available games in the same way?

Ahhh ok! Goddamn I got rid of my 360 games in a bulk sale a few month ago, was thinking “oh might keep that” but realistically hadn’t played it more than an hour per 5 years. Never mind.

Wait, how come RR6 has gone up in value so much?

I will say the slight redesign on the Goblin Ranger does somewhat redeem it. It's still not the Goblin but it's marginally less goofy than Raimi's original.

OG Goblin be like let me ride this syringe.

I've never had any particular love of martial arts in films

So. Yeah. I think another thing that helps probably is that in All Clear mode you’re finding it easier to be thinking about the next piece while placing the current piece. And that’s a key thing that could be slowing you down in Sprint. 
 

Instead of:

Piece appears - Think - Place - Piece Appears etc

It should be more like you are looking ahead always so the instant the last piece is placed you’re instantly moving the next one to its place that you’ve already decided as it appears. If you can do it in twos and threes also (like remember that the next three blocks fit together quickly here), then you’re looking ahead even further and your time will fall.

I might even practice making lines with no rotations.

And finally - do Tetrises only and if you can count in your head 1, 2, 3 etc. So remember you need ten and don’t slow yourself down looking at the lines needed.
