I think it was either MK3 or UMK3 that you could play as Shao Kahn if you put in a kombat kode (the symbols at the bottom of the screen on the vs screen). He kind of sucked if I remember correctly, his attacks were powerful, but he fought like a river barge.

Um....

That looks better than 90% of recent trailers (I don't go to the movies because I don't support pedophiles and rapists.)

Um....

Casting a goy like Jim Carrey as (((Dr. Robotnik))) is cultural appropriation. Also, that cgi puppet looks like shit.

So Paradox's new grand strategy game released a few days ago. Imperator: Rome

Anyone playing it? Any good?

Normally it'd be a day 1 buy for me but I'm not particularly in the mood for the time period right now.

Video games have lost their appeal to me I used to love them as a kid and teen. But now they just seem really bland to me It's hard to get invested When all the stories seem so similar I miss when games had unique plots And interesting mechanics. Now they're just all open world games With tedious side quests.I'd much rather focus on building myself up as a man and video games seem like a wast of time and money.Sure i'll play the occasional shooter on PS4 but other than that I don't see myself getting back into Gaming.We have so little time on the earth and so little time to enjoy our youth.

That sonic trailer looks so bad. And terrible use of gangster paradise. I feel molested by that character design. #metoo? Its horrible, can't look at it. Will have nightmares! Why not just look like the game design. Ace Ventura is Dr. Robotnick? Dr Robotnick is supposed to be Jewish?

That is one of the worst mainstream movie trailers I have ever seen.

I don't know whether to



or to

Are we sure this isn't a Five Nights At Freddie's movie?
Sonic's looking like an unholy abomination

I miss the days when every comic book film and tv show had mediocre to occasionally rather good and even excellent tie in game in the mid 90's to mid 2000's. They made these games in about a year and they shat them out all complete without glitches 99% of the time. (We had no updates then). What happened to light gun games for homes eh? House of the Dead Time Crisis.

I'd rather play them then most of the indie trash going now, back when cover mechanic weren't standarised:





The swinging in this is faster, more nimble than the PS4 version:

Wow they are redesigning Sonic at this stage in production due to the massive backlash!

They created a Sonic that is going to be the fap-dream of the furry community with human legs, hands, proportions, mouth and eyes. Heck - maybe furries were on the team wanting to make that dream come true.

And I would wait and see whether they will change it. If at all then SEGA might force them.

At this stage of the game it's possible that the movie was indeed a subliminal attempt to push new furry-bestiality boundaries.

I see these posts here and there about the good old days of gaming and how most modern games suck in comparison. To each their own, but personally I've rarely enjoyed gaming more than in recent years.
That's partially due to graphics - as much as gameplay is the most important aspect, I find so much more enjoyment in particularly open world games with beautiful landscapes and weather systems than the blocky worlds of 10+ years ago. Just tonight in a brief Ghost Recon Wildlands session I had to stop and marvel at a spectacular dusk view from rainslick rocks on the edge of a desert, out over distant forests and fields with a thunderstorm and fading sunlight through clouds making the sky a work of art.

After that I had time for an hour in Days Gone where I was riding my motorcycle through rocky mountain terrain with snow covered mountain peaks and a small zombie overrun village in the distance, while rain started to roll in (I still haven't visited or unlocked most of the huge map, but I've seen videos of the ground being slowly covered by real time snow in other regions).

Assassin's Creed Odyssey - while feeling less inspired than the others - gives you a condensed and beautiful playground of most of ancient Greece.

Horizon Zero Dawn was a visual marvel as well with it's robot animal and tribe inhabited post-apocalyptic, overgrown world. And the latest God of War, a much more linear game than the others, was gorgeous as well (although so were the previous ones for their time, and even the newer remastered versions look quite good still from what I've seen).

And then there are the recent city based open world games like Spider-Man (which you mentioned - and which I think has fantastic web slinging, although I only very vaguely remember that old PS2 game for comparison) and The Division 2.

I've pretty much only talked about visuals here, but all the mentioned games have given me many hours of great entertainment. Still many hours to go in Days Gone, and Ghost Recon Wildlands is a game I may never finish but still load up once in a while just because I have so much fun traveling around the massive world and sniping or assaulting enemy bases and doing missions.

I'm certainly not trying to deny that modern games are overall better than the old ones, but for me old games in 3D are way too hideous for me to enjoy now, so that leaves some of the old classics with hand drawn 2D art if I felt the urge to revisit the past. Which I don't really, as I barely have time to play the best of recent games, and to be honest there are probably no more than 10-15 games, more than ten years old that really stand out in my memory.

They'll probably go with their discarded alternative Sonic design choice:

Uh oh - EA may get clobbered and lootboxes may get banned.

Too bad that they banked on the "service" features:





This will hit also games like candy crush or Fortnite, since kids and teens spent sometimes thousands of dollars on those idiocracies.

And yes - this is a thing that could go through, because the globalists wouldn't care too much whether there are microtransactions or not in those games.

This might seriously ruin my video game i'm in the process of making.

Ghost Recond Wildlands was awesome and has one of the largest and prettiest open worlds ever in game, and they've just announced Ghost Recon Breakpoint, fortunately open world again and releasing in October.





I was a bit underwhelmed with the following gameplay segment, but that was also the case with alpha stage Wildlands footage.

I'm just begging for another splinter cell game.

Sam Fisher - with original voice actor Michael Ironside - made a DLC appearance in Wildlands (though I've still yet to finish the main game), which obviously caused speculation that a new Splinter Cell might be coming.

No one mention the PC release of Yakuza Kiwami 2? I'm disappointed.

Sega's just been making the same Yakuza game over and over again for literally over a decade now.

The story and engine haven't been updated since George Bush was still president. It's fun the first few times, but after a few you realize you're just playing the same game over and over.
