I'm so glad I never had any massive hype for MCC outside the multiple campaigns thing. I feel really bad for people who took days off to play halo 2 with friends and got a steaming turd (Not counting the fact halo 2 was already a steaming turd)

I thought it only ended like two weeks ago

He oversaw some of it, but he wasn't directly involved, no. It's called "B Team" for a reason, and while they did improve some mechanics a LOT (as a sequel should), the huge complaint is lack of intricate maps, bosses, and atmosphere.

I remember Yahtzee saying that his main thing was that where DS1 bosses look like something from the Lovecraft mythos, DS2 bosses were just "dudes in armour". Is this accurate?

yes

You can pretty much tell it's Miyazaki if it has a ton if lovecraftian elements.

What? No, that was from Bloodborne you morons. Dark Souls 1 had Berserk written all over it. You can tell it's Miyazaki's Dark Souls if it's literally Berserk Souls.

I've only played DS up to the point verb's at

do I get a free pass here?

Just a shame that it took so long to get here that half the people who wanted it have stopped caring because other, better games exist that weren't glorified early access.

Not reallyl. DS2 has more knight / "dudes in armor" type of enemies, but that's from everything there is to the game. It would be like saying that DS1 is just "rehashed demons" because you have Asylum, Firesage, Stray and such. DS2 has its Dragonriders, Mirror Knight and Pursuers but there's also the Chariot, Giants, Gargoyles, Rats, Manscorpions, mutated spiders, human-faced frogs, Medusa-like snake humans, Dragons and Sabertooths. I do think there's a slightly disproportionally large amount of knights in the game, but DS2 still has a very varied and wide array of bosses that goeswell beyond that. And either way, some of the "dude in armor" bosses are actually really well done.

huh

Well ZP has a tendancy to exaggerate and I'm fine with that

I buy lego every now and then.

TFL?

IIRC, the developers said that they're considering bringing the game to XB1 and PS4 at some point. But the last one didn't do too well on consoles so it made more sense for them to spend as much effort making the PC version as good as possible and then consider porting it to consoles later on.

I hope it does come to XB1, looks pretty good. And apparently you don't need to have played the original as it retcons the original's ending anyway (TotalBiscuit's video).

Edit: I just checked. The CEX in my town (I walk past it every day) has a couple of copies going for only £3 for the 360 - is it worth it? XCOM 2 looks pretty cool and it's piqued my interest in the 'original' one.Original as in not ancient.

Get this version fam, it's the base game and the top notch expansion which makes the game a whole lot better. https://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=5026555262644#.Vrc9zECbupo

They don't have that in stock anywhere near me

I might look on amazon, though, and see how much it is.

I want Titan loadouts to change. Once you unlocked Quad Rocket, Electric Smoke and Cluster Bomb, there was no point in using anything else.

Stuff like Plasma Railgun, Triple Threat and the XO-16 Chaingun were basically useless. Titan loadouts need an overhaul, but the pilot weapons were pretty well balanced.

Never done it and never plan to. Extending to alcohol and tobacco, too.

Same as usual. Play xbox

Yeah. As far as book adaptations go, Harry Potter is up there with The Martian in terms of quality. It's far from World War Z levels of shittiness.

If I download the map in your fileshare, can I get 1000000000000 microsoft points as well??!!!?!?!?!?!?
