Nice! I can't wait to get home and play some Mordhau

I'll be on tonight

Just started playing Yakuza 0 for PS4. Pretty cool so far

One of the funniest craziest games I've ever played.

[Zydar]

I'm looking for a fun platform style game for PS4. Any recommendations?

If you like old school, the Crash Bandicoot Remaster collection as well as Sonic Mania is excellent. If you like indie, both Celeste and Inside are really cool and different experiences.

I heard Ratchet and Clank is good too. Wait that's not really a platformer right? I never played any of the older ones.

[SystematicThought]

Would the first Jak and Daxter be qualified as a platformer? God, that game brings back some great memories

[The Walrus]

I 100% second Lynxo's suggestions. Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy is the poster child of what a game remake should be, Sonic Mania is fun if you're into that (it's like Sonic The Hedgehog 2 just made new levels for itself and put it on a modern system), Celeste is an awesome game from an amazingly talented developer.

I don't know if I'd call Spyro a platformer but the remastered trilogy looks absolutely beautiful and there's some platform elements to it but it's much more of an adventure-collectathon in the vein of those early era 3D games a la Super Mario 64. Either way it's well worth checking out.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I'm proud of myself, for the first time I had a significant positive K/D in Mordhau.  It's usually the other way round.

[ReaperKK]

Have any of you mordhau guys started building s custom character yet? I’m going to sit down and try to make one tonight

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Yea I buildt several characters for diffrent roles. I'm using the friendly perk (Attacks caused to allies are reduced by 50%) on my zweihander character because you pretty much hit everyone swinging that thing. 

[ReaperKK]

Do you get your gold back if you make a build you don't like?

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Do you get your gold back if you make a build you don't like?

I don't think so but i'm not sure.

[Chino]

I don't think so but i'm not sure.

You don't get your gold back, but I've reached a point where it doesn't matter. I have two characters I like to play with, and I'm sitting on $28Kish gold just sitting there. It kind of becomes a non-issue after a certain point.

I don't think I ever played a pre-built character


It seems like a number of us play. Add me on Steam! - chino1130

[ReaperKK]

I just checked my steam friend list and I see you on there but it says it’s been over 2000 days since last long in. Am I on your list? Reaper2195?

[Zydar]

Thanks for the recommendations! I tried Celeste, and it seems to be what I'm after. But damn, it's hard!

Weird. I'll have to check when I get home later tonight.


Thought this was interesting. Looks like all the maps are connected. I saw leaked images yesterday of two new maps, but I'm having trouble finding them on a site that isn't blocked by my company's network.

[cramx3]

That's pretty cool, and this game definitely needs new maps so that's nice that they are probably close to ready then

[Ruba]

I tried Celeste, and it seems to be what I'm after. But damn, it's hard!

I've seen couple videos about it and it seems like a game that would make me want to throw my controller to the wall. It has a cool premise, but I just don't have that kind of platforming skill or patience.

The creator, Matt Makes Games, way way long ago (10+ years) released some free games on the PC called Jumper - Jumper 1, Jumper 2, Jumper Redux, Jumper 3. Very interesting, fun games, but also frustrating in a similar way. If Celeste is something you're enjoying despite its difficulty, I highly recommend you check out those Jumper games. They're free, you can usually beat them in a few hours if you're dedicated, and they're super inventive platformers. The game Dim is also really, really cool.

You're correct

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Official Reveal Trailer

Haven't played a CoD game since the first Black Ops game. Since this is suppose to be a reboot I will check it out. They always did great SP campaigns.

[Chino]

Jesus that's pretty.

New Death Stranding trailer:  (Kojima's new game)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu8X7vM3Avw

Best game ever?
Worst game ever?
I have no idea what's going on 

[SystematicThought]

Probably will be some heady stuff that none of us will ever understand, but it looks so good (graphically speaking). Still have no clue what it's about.

Been playing Layers of Fear 2. Like Death Stranding, I have no clue what's going on. It's not really a scary game, but it does have unsettling moments. Graphics look great and I like the ocean liner setting and Hollywood theme. Some nice nods to horror films. Any game that utilizes mannequins is probably going to freak me out, so this game does its job

Still can't get over how terrible it is to control Arthur in RDR2. The game is one of the most beautiful games when riding a horse and looking at the scenery. But walking (slooowly) or running around as Arthur feels goofy as fuck. And why is Arthur always underweight even when I feed him a whole fucking deer every day yet everyone comments on how good the horse looks when I feed it a carrot once a day?

Rockstar got so much right and so much wrong with this game.

[XJDenton]

I never really had too much issue controlling either Arthur or the Horse. Once you take into account momentum and plan your movements accordingly the movement works fine. To me, the main issue with the game in retrospect was how much downtime there was in the missions and how little variation there actually is in how you can approach solving the challenges in them. The missions feel extremely at odds with the design of the open world.

On an unrelated note I picked up Dead Cells for Switch yesterday. 'Tis good fun.

I have no idea what's going on 

Honestly the trailer just left me feeling really cold. Considering all of Kojimas hype about this being a new type of action game/experience it just looked like a bit of a mishmash of plenty of other games out there.

I have no doubt it'll be good, I love the MGS games and I expect this will be good too but I feel like I'm really not seeing what others are regarding this game. It feels like a lot of people are going "OMG KOJIMA AND ITS WEIRD! GAME OF THE YEAR!"

Maybe I'm just being cynical so i don't get overhyped for it, so I'm more surprised when I actually play the game. I just... don't really get the hype for it I suppose.

[XJDenton]

I just think its impressive that in an age where trailers spoil almost everything, that I've seen a good hour of footage of death stranding and still have no idea what the hell is going on.

Oh ok, I think my account name is Reaper2195 and then I changed my display name. I'm dumb.

I hated the controls of RDR2 when I first got it but after a couple of hours I got used to it, and by the end of the game it wasn't a problem. I think my issue was I rarely play console games so I'm just not used to playing with a controller.
