shit man this guy was tough
took me like 10 tries to beat him, really fun and thrilling boss fight. dude is simple but quick and finding windows to heal is really tough and requires a lot of preparation which is pretty hard to do (and a bit of rng i guess). all the boss fights so far had been pretty easy, only taking me two or three tries at most, but this guy is the first one that really had my heart racing, i kept getting nervous and screwing up midway through hehe
i'm kind of lost of where to go so been just randomly exploring and finding crap. i've unlocked a couple new abilities but still not sure where i can make some serious progress. we'll see, this method of exploring everything hasn't failed me before so will continue doing so
also
went ahead and deposited my money. i feel it's the honest thing to do and i kind of want to see what happens hehe
i feel this is kind of a complicated thing
yeah quests can sometimes be really loosely justified fetch quests but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad
take two of my favorite open world games, dragons dogma and stalker. both games have absolutely trash quests, often of the "go to x and kill y" variety. what makes these quests cool is that they're there to guide the player to different places in the world, so that they might get lost there, find interesting stuff, fight new enemies, unlock other quests, etc.
so while i agree generic quests aren't too interesting, they do serve a useufl purpose if you look at the game holistically
heck, even in nier the quests are all fetchquest trash but the writing is good so they help you get in the mood and soak in the themes of the game
so yeah, it's not always about being the fallout style billion different outcomes. sometimes they just serve a higher purpose
this is me with every character creator
i don't spend less than an hour on creating my character like ever, and if i'm able i often end up changing it multiple times during my playthrough
As i said MS thing is at 21:00 today so yes.
Also i am downloading DmC. Time to cross another game from the backlog list.

You're going the right way. The mid-game is weirdly paced but if you managed to fight that guy you're making progress. The first time I reached that zone I hadn't explored the
Crystal Peak (or whatever it's called)
Also, do you have
the Dream Nail?
If you do you should try it on that boss's corpse.
well to answer your question i'll just say there's a reason it took me like 10 tries lol
But they don't do that either. They don't lead you to interesting places, they don't offer you interesting narrative, they don't give you any cool new gameplay or enemies to fight.
All they do is spawn an item or a generic enemy somehwere and tell you to kill them.
Trust me when i say there's been no design thought put into these at all, just like with most of the rest of the game.
FFXV is a case study in what happens when you do not put much thought into gamedesign and just go with "Let us put that in too"
Have fun and don't take the amazing story too seriously.

So is this literally Dragon Quest Minecraft or am I missing something?
It's a Dragon Quest with building but it's rather different from Minecraft from what I've heard
Which is why I'm actually interested in it

I just beat the game yesterday. The normal version of that guy took me a couple of tries too, but I managed to defeat that fucker faster.

I was going to say Warhammer 40k: Space Marine but you don't appear to own it. You should rectify that at your earliest convenience.
Darksiders I or II or Enslaved, Lost planet 3?
Strangely while I was writing this post I got 2 achievements from the game Collisions, a game I haven't played since 2015, it wasn't running, and is not installed on my computer!

Thank you JaseC. But why if it's unrelated do I need to use a VPN for PES 2018. Also I'm just a little hesitant to use anything VPN related in case something goes wrong. Steam could ban my account right?
Yep that's exactly what it is but it's minecraft with mission objectives and with a story. There are four acts/chapters. The first act is basically a massive tutorial. They'll tell you find materials and go build a room, a chair, cook food, defend your town etc. it's pretty fun, relaxing game. Just fun to explore the world.
The rest-of-world retail packages are set up in such a way that they cannot be registered to your account from a Malaysian IP address, however this isn't a result of the store page not being available on the Malaysian store. The two aren't interconnected in any way.
In theory, yes (well, restricted rather than banned as Valve stopped banning/suspending accounts ~six-and-a-half years ago), but in reality there are no reputable reports of somebody being banned/having their account restricted for VPN use unrelated to cross-region purchasing on the Steam Store itself. You'll find no shortage of people here who've used a VPN to unlock a game early or circumvent a regional restriction on a retail key, myself included.

Can find some comments that it has been 20$ in the past for PS+ members, probably lot more normally.
I guess grabbing the physical would be good choice then dlc separately from sale if you like it, it wasn't that expensive in the first place.

Looking good! I hope they die nicely... my premades always do.
The one bummer about XCOM 2's premade characters is that armour upgrades nuke their visuals. Hopefully weird stuff like that doesn't happen to the posters in-game.

Everything they touch turns to ashes, yes. But at least we'll have that one brief moment to enjoy the idea of it all.
Edit: I was thinking of Deep Silver with the Saint's Row side of THQ... however, my statement stands.
That doesn't make any sense, Nordic has done a great job so far.
TIL mainline Monster Hunter games have been releasing on PC for years, but only in Japan. Mindblowing that they didn't bring at least one of the multiplatform releases west. The timing may have been strange since Capcom JP wasn't paying attention to PC back in ~2010.
There's also the MMO that they released for the Chinese market. That's more understandable as they likely made a deal with a local publisher, and they own the game at that point.
These are amazing, do these only come with the new expansion, or as part of the regular game?

It's all available in the XCOM 2: War of the Chosen Propaganda Centre demo.
But, to answer your question, the character creator (first set of Hektor's screenshots) is part of XCOM 2 vanilla, while the Propaganda Center (poster creator, second set of Hektor's screenshots) is part of the War of the Chosen expansion. The posters will appear randomly in missions.
It coming from Nordic means that you probably shouldn't expect absolute AAA production values. But you don't need those to make a good game afterall.
I'd think the posters are a one and done kindathing since they're just saved as .png's, tho there's also some actual data file in that folder as well.
Some of these items require you to own the DLC(s), some are from the base game.
I think you don't need to own the DLC to make them in the propaganda center, tho i don't know what would happen if you then import them back into the game

Blandsiders wasn't made by them so that's hardly something against them.
Are you talking about the Frontier games?
They're not really mainline, I think they're more like MMOs which is why they appear everywhere even on PC and get no Western release
I think they're also not as well regarded as the main games
I still want then because they have tonfas

Nah, this never happened; You're mixing with the other MMO, Monster Hunter Frontier, which is a different MMO than Monster Hunter Online which was meant for China.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
so THQ Nordic is just a publisher then, and apparently the developers are a small indie group
well this is more of cautious optimism, but I still am not fond of most of what THQN have published
Have they published anything that isn't a port of some IP they bought?
Also Darksiders is great fight me

I couldn't resist playing with the character creator:
That's probably it. I was looking at a video on the history of Monster Hunter with brief gameplay footage covering every game.
So it's fair to say that this is the first mainline MH game on PC.

huh, surprised about many stuff they published being handled by many publishers
and yeah I will fight, even Transformers Devastation feels more compelling to play than that game

Seems to be a few ones but I'm not really familiar with them
You talk like Devastation isn't also great
