Having fun so far. I always forgot about grenades in BL so playing as Zane and using the second Action Skill in place of the grenade is ideal. Best friend is playing as FL4K and we're doing fine so far, though in the first couple hours ammo has been a serious issue. Too many fucking...

Vaping is a problem and requires serious govt intervention because 6 people died... Guns though, all good.

Its fun that PC Master Race wins out on the global launch. I had not carefully looked at the graphic before and am happily surprised I can play this tonight.

I figured the whole reason for Unseelie Jack in the first place was so they could communicate to the audience -- "yeah you think we're doing Jack the Ripper given the setting, but we arent and here's proof -- we just did it!"

I picked it up because I'm a sucker for a Bioware title. (Also my best friend will kick me in the balls if I play Borderlands without him so I need something to play when he's not around) It does lack the polish of controls one would expect from a title like this and the textures etc do get...

This is a complete riff on the original. Its essentially Watchment the Next Generation .

As for 'where was the scientist character?' I feel pretty confident that we will get some sort of scientist in the second season. Either some mechanical genius refugee from the Pact that the Burgh is wanting to butter up for technology secrets or some bio/zooilogical type ALA the opening...

JACK is pretty badass

Yeah that's kind of fucked up. The game itself offers up the moral choice to do what you say you want and yet you don't take it up?

To be fair I too often find myself trying the most diplomatic options in these sorts of games. I ended up with both the Quarian AND Geth participating in the Battle of Earth in Mass Effect 3 etc. Many times in these games I have a visceral reaction when I try to go 'off-brand' in terms of...

The purported plotline is extremely hackneyed.... and thus quite likely real.

Leaving a review embargo up until the launch is admittedly not a good sign.

I can empathize with this because you know everytime you are encouraged to rush that there is some collectible or JACK upgrade hidden nearby. The quasi-open world nature in ACT 2 where you can find side-quests is a bit of a departure from what I always thought of as a very linear series. I...

The most damning review so far comes from PC Gamer -- "An endless font of bad jokes and cool guns in the series' most vapid story yet, Borderlands 3 skates by on watching numbers fly and goons explode. " Which is exactly what I want from a Borderlands game so I'm good.

I'm playing it because it comes with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which I, and like a million other people, got for $1 for two years with the E3 special. I've never managed to play a Gears game before because I found the overall controls so awkward, but I've done alright so far. Im less wild...

This is back today with an episode that is really just the original season finale from last year with a few bits added on at the end. I can see why they decided to hold this back as it wasn't a terribly good finale, but it will serve as an okay season opener. Much of the last 20 mins goes...

I kinda wonder what the meetings are like in Blizz HQ given the reaction to Classic and the apparent evacuation of BFA. Is a charting process to see when the nostalgia runs its course and they need to have real content ready or?

Did the end boss again last night and managed to kill him with one trip into the flip side owing to Breath spam when coming out. It's very pew-pew but in a good way.

That's leomorphic you insensitive clod!

I have faith in this development team that the plot will indeed fix itself. The sheer detail put into some of these scenes is just bonkers given that its nearly all practical effect puppets.

I did like how much the stories dovetailed together towards the end. The overall effect, other than the two who are going on exposition-walkabout, was to act as a sort of prequel. I kept wondering why we were coming back to the theater dude when, in fact, it was just setting him up as the...

I should point out that he plays the scrapper at hunter-class distances. He did finally admit that my use of Swarm was a good thing and even slotted it himself when we fought Nightmare. There does need to be some balance done both on items as well as bosses. Anything you can do which...

Yer lucky. I play with a guy who rolled as a scrapper and is of the opinion that the shotgun is an amazing weapon at all ranges and thinks I'm stupid for using the 'pussy beam rifle'.

I thought it great that neither of the political incest dibs really has any malice towards the Fae and are just using them as a convenient target. Gotta wonder if some of the more privileged types wouldn't be protected from this new law.

So I just learned that this is a sequel to an Oculus Rift game. Most of the art assets are reused from that game as is the general plotline what with the dreamers, Ford, etc...

So I had rewatched the film a couple weeks back in preparation for this (and because it was a nice remastered version) and I spent the first 15 mins of the first episode going 'wait... what??' The storyline in the original movie was pretty basic --- Crystal is heart of planet and super powerful...

I did all the codes manually like a commoner. Don't even know if the 'bonus weapon' we get is even gonna be worth the effort. I do like their psycho adverts though:

I only remembered this when someone on Slack mentioned they were playing it. There has been zero advertisement for this sucker! When I went to look on the Xbone Store for it it didnt show up until the full name was entered and even then it was after a bunch of controllers. This is really...

I like how they treat magic in this world. They even make fun of the term as just being that which humans don't understand. Mind you what does happen goes waaaay beyond what we would count as 'science' but it's rather presented as a sort of scientific practice rather than waving your hands...

They kind of address this by mentioning that the Fae had millennia of civilization before the humans but never were interested in making machines / modern weapons of war. So they can fly but the humans showed up with machine guns. I suspect this will become a major plot point as the...

While a lot of it has obvious echoes in Victorian era stuff I feel that the 'war' itself has more of a basis in Vietnam what with the whole 'that was a war we could have won!' business. I also see that Jill Pantozzi of io9 disliked the show, which is also high praise in my book as she has...

I am interested to see what the deal is with The Pact. They are essentially faceless villains whenever we hear about them, which is not terribly often past the first 10 mins of the first episode Are they truly as horrible as they are made out to be? Why did they have all those women and...

Ended up binging the whole damn thing and it was great. Victorian to a T with all manners of elements from the literature of the period as well as the waning of the gilded age in the UK combined with the plight of the immigrants in America** with just enough dark fantasy to leave you wanting...

This dropped today. Not sure on the overarching plot yet, but the production values are through the roof. It's got BBC period-piece authenticity for a completely fantastical version of roughly 1890. (Though it's 600-something by their calendar) To the extent that there is a common 'big bad'...

Summons got fucked, so did Ex-Cultists since you are anchored to the original Ex-Cultist set now after Spirit was gutted.

He is gonna be one scrawny ass Muadib... but he is a good actor so I guess its better than some Shia LaBeouf level shit.

the Xbone version is quite playable. I may replay it bone-style if I finish with Remant before Borderlands hits

Is there a list of minimum levels for the different zones? I saw a post that said the World Boss for Earth was minimum 5 for example.

Well its clear that there will be a suitable gap in time between the last movie and this one. (As there should have been between TFA and TLJ). This will also allow, later, for a suitably epic animated series to fill in the interim ala Clone Wars.

FINALLY! My fucking B-Wings are back!! (Yeah and Y-Wings too...don't see any U-Wings though)
