Thanks I'll check out the voicepacks. I will look into the XB1.

@ZombieGenesis
I definitely questioned the mental sanity of someone charging a wrestler on a stage full of wrestlers.

@BobGoblin
Its kind of like Crusader Kings meets Europa Universalis, with it leaning towards more of the latter. The gameplay is fairly solid and there are some new systems. Overall it's pretty fun for what I got to play of it. I was also told that it is actually what was created out of Paradox's Rome DLC for EU.

And so as not to double post:

For anyone on the fence about Days Gone. My initial impression of the game was that it was The Walking Dead: Daryl Edition; but that impression does not hold after you get a couple of hours into the game. There is a good story hook that you hit and after that, it improves. I will add that while there is a lot of borrowing for gameplay elements from TLOU, I think the gunplay in Days Gone is actually better.

New Edit Just Cause:

Here's an interesting article about the removal of the choice system for Days Gone

From what I understand he'll be making appearances on RAW but his return is mostly for the WWE to push some PPV events using his name, and Cena is there to help bring up some of the other talent who are going to get pushed into the spotlight.

I'm not sure how much ring time that they are going to be able to get for him though. The Duke Nukem movie and the Bumblebee sequel are both supposed to start filming later this year and into early next year. And towards the end of the year might be occupied making the press junket tour for the Doctor Doolittle movie that he's in with RDJ that is supposed to come out around Christmas.

Now I am not sure how much time the press stuff for a movie takes but I remember that all this stuff seriously cut into Dwayne Johnson's ring time when he was making the transition between careers so I am presuming the same thing may happen here.

I just found out today that my entire raiding guild is going to be playing classic. That will be interesting.

So. Hellboy.

My review is this: The only thing enjoyable about it was David Harbour as the big red man himself. He really did totally own that role. They also did a great job with the depictions of this iteration's bad guys and villains to fight.

The rest of it was...not really all that memorable. While I was not expecting much, the overall story was pretty derivative and generic. The pacing was all over, and it felt like they tried to throw in an encyclopedia worth of exposition throughout a lot of the movie which only contributed to that feeling of disjointed pacing. I think they could have better spent the time information dumping on some character development, instead.

Unless you are a super fan for Hellboy, catch this one on Amazon or Netflix after the dvd release.

Humble has Guacamelee for free. Lasts just a few days though.

Well definitely is the weirdest story I've heard so far this weekend. The first thing that popped into my head was "Hail Zoltan."

Now for my bit of RL Anger. I hate ADT sales agents and AT&T seems incompetent.

@Tempest
It has pretty much become accepted among gamers that console games will always tread the full price mark and lack the fluidity of pricing that PC games have due to things like that.

Since this originally came out for the Switch, it would be no different. Now that it is going to be released on PC, it might be best to get the game then because you can wait for the best sale price on it to get it at a cost more equitable to what you consider the price range the game should fall into.

Given a look at it myself I'm thinking the $15-25 range is probably fair, but I would not pay any higher than $25.

@Auspice
I have had the money waiting to do just that ever since the gameplay footage was released. This will be the first game I pre-order since Witcher 3.

@Ghost
Yeah go play some games man. Remember you can't have slaughter without laughter. Go shoot faces or something.

@Ghost
They do. But I just found out that the Collector's Edition of Cyberpunk 2077 won't be available in the U.S.

@Ghost
The consistent reasoning I'm finding is because the lack of storyline and better developed human characters.

Which leaves me thinking, "It's a kaiju movie. Fuck the humans."

The movie was great as it was.

@Ghost said in General Video Game Thread:

@Jaded I'm assuming like Conan Exiles the US/EU main different will involve nudity differences.

Which is bullshit if it is.

They have not specifically stated why but speculation is it has something to do with their deal with Warner Bros. Interactive, who is doing the NA publishing for the game in the U.S.

@Ganymede
Which funny enough I thought both Shape of Water and Wall-E were just bad movies. Which could just be me.

On the other hand, I enjoy monster movies where great swathes of the human population get wiped out. Go go Godzilla.

@Runescryer
Well Keanu did have a band in the 90s that did a lot of touring. He could be the vocals on some of the music.

So the Twitter for Cyberpunk 2077 last night said the company was going to backpedal on their Collector's Edition release and it will become available in the U.S. for PC owners, they're still checking for Canada.

@Ghost
I'm just hoping we see a lot more of the original kaiju get to duke it out before we see them introduce mecha-godzilla. But I have this little wiggle in the back of my head that whispers to me the studio will be eager to get started on that particular battle, due to the popularity of mecha-godzilla in pop culture and whatnot.

@Admiral said in General Video Game Thread:

@Roz Squaw was the worst protagonist of the series. He makes Tidus (Played brilliantly by Meg Ryan, by the way) look awesome.

Even so, it has Triple Triad and that was fun. I mean it completely derailed me finishing the game so that has to count for something.

@AeriaNyx
The reviewer I went with was amazed at some places, one point he went, "Fuck I can't believe they went there." you probably know the part. I won't spoil.
