You got me there. I used my free month of Games Pass for FH4.
This sounds meaner than I want it to, but I dislike Claire's face. She's too pretty, like she was cast in a CW show or something. The performance is fine so far, though. I love the way they lean into the B-movie stuff.
Only hardcore runs left for me. Midway through Leon on Hardcore. What a great fuckin' game.yea most likely. I will be doing another run of RE2 this weekend. number 6! here I come.
Yeah, that's true, I hadn't really looked at it that way. Thanks for changing my mind!TBF isn't it a b-movie thing to hire the prettiest looking blonde white chick irregardless of acting chops.
So, Bioware, would you like to explain why the Challenges of the Legionnaires mission exists? It'd be fine as a side mission you can passively make progress towards while doing other things, but gating main story content behind a bunch of random grinds is just ridiculous. Is it really just padding for time or is there some other reason that the mission was added?
A whole bunch of random things like 50 melee kills, 50 ultimate kills, 3 multikill medals, 3 world events, open 15 chests, find 10 random tiny collectibles on the ground, etc.
I haven't done the grind myself, but the streamer AdmiralBahroo is still working on it after nearly 2 hours

Her Lost days? Has she even had any others?
BioWare's sense of humor has gotten increasingly grating for me. Like lately they really love creating characters that are capital-Q Quirky, as if they're trying to fill an entire cast with that #adorkable character that everyone will write fanfic about where they awkwardly confess their love to the MC and then spill soda on themselves or something

Once you do ~10 missions, and get to the freeplay stuff...
Here are the full requirements
All four are required to advance the main quest.
- Artinia: 5 World events, 30 Weapon defeats, 15 weak point defeats, 9 elite defeats
- Cariff: 3 missions, 30 gear defeats, 15 combos, 3 multikills
- Gawnes: 50 Melee defeats, 50 ult defeats, 3 legendary defeats
- Yvena: 15 chests, 25 harvests, 3 javs repaired, 10 collectibles
Fun Fact: Feat tracking is broken, so the only way to check progress is by manually flying to each tomb to see!
Yay! Isn't locking main storyline content behind an absurd grind fun? /s
I'm still coming up with a good path for getting the puzzles done and learning best habits for window boarding and x dodging. I wanna go for S rankings for each difficulty for both A/BOnly hardcore runs left for me. Midway through Leon on Hardcore. What a great fuckin' game.
JFC BioWare, you thought this would be cool with the player base?
There aren't that many, it's just that there's a lot grouped around the end and beginning of the year. September has Labor Day, October has Columbus Day, November has Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving, December has Christmas and New Years, January has MLK Day, February has President's Day. Then there's nothing until Memorial Day in May, then 4th of July. So from now till September there's only 2 more holidays, and not every business observes Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, MLK Day, or Presidents Day
When I started to replay Andromeda I definitely got the sense Bioware was trying their hardest to get that Guardians of the Galaxy tone, and failed horribly.
Natalya was a stone cold killer in the jungle. We're sure she's going to be just as useful on Control!
A depressingly large amount of what's left of the Bioware fandom at this point are people who just really want to fuck their Bioware waifus/husbandos. I'm not surprised they're leaning into it.
Yeah once you get a plan going it's smooth sailing.I'm still coming up with a good path for getting the puzzles done and learning best habits for window boarding and x dodging. I wanna go for S rankings for each difficulty for both A/B
That Anthem QL is not pretty for Bioware. It's just Jeff shitting on it for an hour and to be fair to GB a lot of it seems justified (although Jeff's rejection of story in any video game ever is getting more and more extreme).
I can do the first maybe quarter before X appears in about an hour. I want to get it down to 45 minutes. As soon as I need to get the clock tower stuff down and X is fully out there is when I kinda start losing track of things and want to run everywhere despite knowing that lickers then clog up the best paths. It is handy that you don't take fire grenade damage at close range so I am judiciously running up against lickers and one shotting them in the face as I bolt past.Yeah once you get a plan going it's smooth sailing.
One note on the window boarding is that only the first window (near the first actual save room) is worth boarding. Don't bother grabbing any other boards after that. You will backtrack to the hallway eventually but theres usually only two zombies ready in the set path and i just blast them with the shotgun or nade launcher and run past em.
Eh. The idea this is a particularly significant portion of their audience or even that they're leaning into it is incredibly fanciful
If you want to use him to confirm a pre-existing negative opinion of something, I'm sure it's great and cathartic to watch him not like a game. And that's no knock against anyone in particular, because I've been there too.
Ive done it I brought fry cry new dan
I am the new blitzrules now that he has converted to ea
the lickers can easily be sneaked through by walking, usually the only lickers i bother killing are the ones at the lab and maybe the ones near the locker room if i really want to get the extra supplies, but yeah once you have a set path ready x is a non factor. The only time i find some resistance is maybe the library but there's a enough obstacles there to dodge him.I can do the first maybe quarter before X appears in about an hour.

why breezy you know it's shit you know it in your heart of hearts
You're right that them leaning into it is a bit of a stretch but I want to push back on it not being a significant part of their audience - the relationship stuff is absolutely a huge part of Bioware's mainstream appeal, how a lot of the time they get headlines (sometimes for bad reasons - like their awful non-hetero options in Andromeda, but at least they tried I guess) and multiple times in my life when I come across people that don't play that many games, but happen to have played Mass Effect or Dragon Age, they always have some sort of Bioware crush. Hell, back at the end of December I watched a stream of someone playing ME for the first time, and one of the only things she knew about it was how hot she thought Garrus was.
As Bioware's "hardcore" audience has turned more hostile to them I absolutely think an increasingly large share of their fanbase are people almost primarily interested in the relationship side of it. That writing has become more Joss Whedon-y is just a happy coincidence for that.
I don't think Anthem looks great, but Jeff does have a tendency in games with combat systems that have various "abilities" designed to spice it up, to just completely ignore them, which obviously creates a "this is boring" feedback loop. See: How he played through Bioshock. He finds the first, simplest thing that works and just does that.
Hell yeah.

Yea I should just get better at dodging the lickers, but they always seem to be right at the door entry whenever I cross their paths.the lickers can easily be sneaked through by walking, usually the only lickers i bother killing are the ones at the lab and maybe the ones near the locker room if i really want to get the extra supplies, but yeah once you have a set path ready x is a non factor.

( i make sure to kill most if not all the zombies in the library early to prevent freak occurrences)
