  1. Fair enough but I don't think its fair to see people hate the game because you and remij like it. Or because it outscored other games they liked. I could also say that the only reason people hate Rise of The Ronin is because its PS5 exclusive. Ill try the game at some point, but I do think the Metacritic scores are very interesting. It does seem like the average person (not reviewer) is more likely to enjoy something like RoTR than DD2 RoTR user score: 8.5 DD2 user score: 6.3
  2. Despite the issues UE is still a crazy efficient and intuitive engine to use. For indie devs making 3D games there really is no comparable solution anymore. Unity had its time in the sun but unless an established developer already has a history with it, there's little reason to use it over UE5 nowadays.
  3. I understand what you mean but once you've seen those dynamic moments the first few times, and then the game just repeats them constantly, would it actually still be entertaining? If I get picked up by a griffin and dropped off in a random part of the map, im sure that would be cool the first few times but I feel like that would quickly lose its appeal and just become annoying after the 10th time especially since I have to orient myself to get back to where I was, all while aggroing mobs of goblins or other groups of recycled enemies. I really have no experience with this series, b
  4. Grinding through mobs of the same few enemies over and over again while completing boring quests in its nearly non existent story doesn’t sound like it would be entertaining for very long.
  5. Yeah im actually seeing a lot of posts on GAF of people saying they straight up prefer Rise of The Ronin to DD2. I guess I made the right choice.
  6. Jonb owning you on both SW and unintentionally within games. Goddamn But really thats a fun story. Im surprised they still haven't added any kind of co-op to this series, I feel like the pawn system is perfectly set up for that kind of gameplay.
  7. Watched the first episode of Parasyte: The Grey. Its pretty cheesy and some of the CGI is laughable, but im enjoying it so far.
  8. EXCLUSIVE: Xbox President Sarah Bond has set up a new team dedicated to game preservation and forward compatibility | Windows Central Finally something good from MS. Digital games just being wiped from existence is not a good trend.
  9. Yokohama in Rise of the Ronin is impressive. Big cities was one thing I felt Ghost of Tsushima lacked, so Im glad to see them represented here in such scale and detail.
  10. The 3ds’ 3d was actually really neat and I would like to see it return in some form
  11. I was actually researching swiss bars the other day because I thought about how a neutral grip could help. They seem like a good alternative to traditional barbells But ill try neutral grip dumbbells first and see how those feel.
  12. Are stiff legs better than RDLs for glutes/hamstrings? I would liked to incorporate bench presses but im pretty sure I still can't do those without significant shoulder pain. That's why i've been opting for some sets of different push up variations. If not for those I wouldn't be able to get any chest training. I'd say right now my weakpoints are my shoulders, chest, and forearms. Im actually curious to see how deadlifts impact my forearm strength/size/grip as those are things I need to work on. I actually bought straps recently but im going to avoid using them for now
  13. ok, I realized today that deadlifts are actually really exhausting. I was winded for most of my workout. Since the back is one of the major muscle groups they work im going to just reduce all my pull up sets by 1 as I feel like I don't need the extra volume.
  14. Played through the Rise of The Ronin intro. Pretty cool so far. The combat reminds me a lot of Sekiro, but the parrying seems more forgiving which is nice. Im sure that might change as they introduce tougher enemies with harder to read attacks though. Haven't seen much of the open world yet but it seems like it has all the standard trappings of the typical open world game.
  15. An open admission from a popular vatnik about how Russia is suffering significant more casualties than Ukraine despite the ammunition and manpower advantage they currently have. But somehow the 'special military operation' is going as planned and its Ukraine who's losing and running out of people Anton Gerashchenko on X: ""When we find out our irrecoverable losses, everyone's hair will stand on end!" - Pavel Gubarev, so-called former "people's governor of Donbas," commented on Russia's losses in the war. https://t.co/FzigZm0Gub" / X (twitter.com)
  16. Yeah it worked. It might just not work in the chatbox The little home gym i've been setting up in my basement is coming along nicely. I've got a spin bike, a barbell set with numerous plates totaling up to 250lb, a little all-in-one rack that can be used for squats, OHPs, and Bench Presses, and most recently I added some dip bars and a plyo box I've expanded my full body routine because of the extra equipment and below is what it looks like. Its kind of a frankenstein of routine but it felt good the one day I tried it. It was only my 2nd time doing deadlifts and my form
  17. https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/exclusive-xbox-cvp-kareem-choudhry-is-leaving-microsoft-amid-a-large-xbox-leadership-shake-up another one leaves the sinking ship
  18. I bought Rise of the Ronin….its going to be my first team ninja game in a loooong time so I’m curious to see how it is. I haven’t played any of their recent stuff outside of brief demos.
  19. And Ghostrunner is next week's free game. Damn EGS still owns
  20. lovin it. the post reactions are so much better on this forum.
  21. Im not sure what their plan is for the final game but there's no way it could possibly be even bigger. In fact given how much of the original game has already been covered, if they tried to stretch out the last entry to Rebirth's length then Im convinced the final product will barely resemble FF7 at all.
  22. well i guess im not finishing rebirth. Started the final stretch, went through a hour and a half worth of different bosses and boss phases but got was stuck at what I assume is the actual final boss, and decided that was enough for the night and started getting ready to go to sleep. For the hell of it I decided to see where it would put me and assumed it would be at least one or 2 boss phases back at most..... Lo and behold the game didn't autosave AT ALL throughout that entire hour and a half, and because they were consecutive boss fights I had no chance to manually sa
  23. IGN blows. Ally > Deck. More powerful, more lightweight, not as bulky, quieter, more PC games supported, better emulation of old games, etc.
