The human encounters are so similar and repetitive, they might as well be randomly generated. The game quickly turned into a bore for me, and im someone who really liked the original.

That's a shame to hear since I'm already finding the rest of the gameplay a bit of a repetitive bore.

RE7 - Godly game. 

State of Decay 2 - The gameplay loop already starting to wear a little thin but I want tot play more to encounter more human survivor scenarioes

Sea of Thieves - Literally turned it off after 15 min. Not in the mood for whatever the shit that was. 

Started @JonB1 's GOTY. Too early to give impressions

Trailer I just saw for the show when starting Westworld tonight.

That looks really good! Seems like they nailed the atmosphere and tone perfectly from what I got while I was reading.

Kid actors these days are incredible so I have no doubt they'll get it right. They got the casting right on with Patricia Clarkson for the mom Adora role and a young unknown girl to play Amma. The show pretty much rides on her character being right because I think the other two can handle the material.

Yeah, you're right. Hopefully they be as loyal to the book and Gone Girl was.

Premiering in July. Had no idea it was so close. Really glad I read the book now.

Thankfully it's on HBO so they can have free reign to do what they please. I think Amy Adams will be awesome in it.

Yeah Amy Adams would be a good casting choice imo. The other two major roles arguably even more important too. 

Finished reading Sharp Objects @Ike . Was a fun read, still think Gone Girl is easily her best book but this would be second. If they are making this into a TV show I don't know how they are going to depict certain scenes....Deals with far more iffy subjects for film that Gone Girl

Not sure why, but it will go there eventually.  Don't even worry about that though FH4 will be there day 1.

 

What a fucking godly service really, when you think about it.

Yeah the value is ridiculous, I mean unless you literally just play one single MS exclusive game a year and zero multiplats, then it is pretty much a no brainer. Even with me just using it for the PC titles it is still worth it. The requirement to have Gold on Xbox makes it lose a tiny bit of it's value but still, it is extremely good. 

Pretty keen for the Origin Premiere Access pass to, $120 a year for every EA game day 1 plus heaps on their back catalogue. Hopefully this is the future for all publishers. Even if you require multiple subs it will still be more value than how it normally is. 

RE7 is ridiculously good. 

Also just got gamepass but really only for the PC play anywhere titles atm (Was $1 for a month). So will try SoD2 and maybe even Sea of Thieves.

Also why the hell isn't Forza 7 on gamepass?

I just saw some minor scares that would totally go unnoticed without VR, like crows flying past by you as you approach them but that's already enough to make you tuck your head in VR

Haha, yeah I could imagine. I'll definitely give it a go in VR, the atmosphere and tension are incredible.

Started RE7 in VR 

I haven't built proper VR tolerance yet and the graphics are quite downgraded but this is pretty amazing already. 

Walking through a sewer, water feels like it's almost against your lips and the reflections/riplles look real enough, then a dead body emerges right in front of your face 

And this is just the very beginning 

Also just started RE7 for the first time last night. Didn't have the balls to do it in VR yet though but holy shit I am already blown away by the first hour of this game.

It requires a good 2 or 3 full playthroughs and knowing how to use the flow chart to your advantage. My last one will be tricky.  Basically, I have to have Connor die in every situation where he can, in fact, die. It’s 14 situations   

Holy shit lol yeah I think I'll give it a pass

So close to getting that platinum in Detroit. 

Is the plat a pain to get?

Finished Detroit last night. Excellent game. Way better than I expected and tbh I didn't think David Cage was capable of it. Some scenes were not the usual David Cage stuff at all. 

It is a new standard for this type of game. Speaking to my friend who also finished it and our stories our so incredibly different. This is some illusion of choice like Telltale games are or a simple pick A or B. There is massive changes and implications from the start than effect the entirety of the game. Probably an 8.8 for me and dethrones Until Dawn as the best of it's genre.

Starting Ozark.

Great show.

Nice, then you can criticize the show with me in the summer.  

 

There’s one role that they needed to really get the casting right, and I’m really curious to see if they can. 

I'm still very early but it is an interesting start so far. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done. 

@Ike, I started reading Sharp Objects btw ;)

About half way through Detroit. Taking my time. Great game. 

Detroit

Sharp Objects is better and honestly, the twist is fucking insane even moreso than the one in Gone Girl. I really like that author. 

I've only read Gone Girl and Dark Places, with Gone Girl being far better. Gotta check out Sharp Objects.

The Gone Girl movie btw is one of the best book to movie adaptions ever.

Dude you have everyone on the forum disagreeing with you. Lefties and righties both agreeing on this. Why do you think this is? Everyone is wrong and you are right? Lol

Jerry just argues to argue . Having everyone against him is what he loves .

Then he just acts stupid and claims he won.

 

Same story every time . Same argument Everytime . 

 

True narcissist. Just call him dumb and move on . He doesn't know how to combat that.  Just tried with dumb Xbox jokes lol 

There needs to be like a mod tag in a thread title after a topic have been Jerried. Or make a sub forum of every thread that got jerried and move the new ones there continuously

Yeah, you guys are in the right. I was in a popular bar the other day and even though it closed at 1, a lot of people (myself included) were there until around 1:10-1:20 while finishing up our drinks. There was a bouncer who prevented people from coming in after 1, but obviously a small bakery isn't going to have the resources to hire one to stop the woman in the OP from coming in.

When I use to work at a bar in a restaurant, the second you accept customers they can order and take as long as they like. There were days where the place was 'closed' at 10pm or so but we still had people there at 12am. Ppl that were accepted from before 10pm. THe amount of ppl we would reject every day (after 10pm) while the place was still full and still have to serve the people at the tables. Eg, new person comes to order a drink it's 'sorry we are closed', but if a customer who was already there eating ordered one you have to serve them. It's the most common practice everywhere. Jehurey just lives in la la land.

LOL, I love how you want this to be true.

 

Beat me at the argument...……….don't try to make the argument about me.

 

You're experience is irrelevant to me, only what you can argue.

Everything is an argument and some contest to you. Everything you said there just proved my point. Experience is the ONLY thing that matters in reality not some laughable internet argument on a gaming forum. There's nothing to even argue, there exists your imaginary world and there exists real life. You clearly live in one over the other.
