    I'll be sticking to the PS4 for Destiny 2 I think. It just plays so well on a controller and as soon as you allow for keyboard and mouse using anything else will just get you yelled at in Raid groups and PVP. Don't get me wrong I'm glad there will likely be a PC version for those that want it it's just not for me.

    Yeah I imagine not all of them are intentional but then why send out posters at all? If it doesn't come out in til September do you really need posters out 5 month ahead of time?  The EU market is pretty big so maybe they do just really want to make sure they hit those stores at the same time so as not to give the impression they're prioritizing the US market over the EU.

    These days I don't know why you would put out posters like that unless you wanted to soft announce it. You have to know it's going to get leaked but I'd be willing to bet they also know that if they make it seem unintentional that people are more likely to share it like it's some big scoop as opposed to announcing a countdown to a countdown of a countdown.

    This game is like one UI polish pass away from me kind loving it. A lot of the side stuff is pretty, uh, there. The side stuff exits and is a thing. But I sorta dig the B-movie plot and really like the characters. It helps that I had my expectations adjusted going in for sure though. It also helps that I remembered how 3 tried to make you feel bad for all of humanity by having Shepherd dream about a kid she couldn't save and how bad that was and I think I'll take a good episode of Sliders over more of that thank you.

    Yeah I'm thinking it might be more of a summer thing for me. Once P5 is out that's kind of it for the year for me basically so after that I'll have more time. Still I'm happy to join up if anyone else wants to do one of the raids.

    That's fair. I will say the combat is sort of half way between Bayonetta and Kingdom Hearts in terms of button mashy-ness so if that doesn't appeal you may be able to skip it. I kinda dig Kingdom Hearts though so I'm enjoying the combat in this.

    Huh the open world bits are by far the least interesting parts to me. It sort of just feels like a bunch of dully designed empty rooms one after the other. I haven't got super far in though.

    The multi in this is really fun so far I have to say. All the free to play stuff in it is a bummer but it does reward you with a fair number of points for every bronze win so I don't think it'll be too bad and it gives you a decent number of classes to start so you should be able to find something you like fairly early on.

    Lag is what has me worried. My internet is fine-ish if none of the three other people in the house are streaming anything.

     

    Either way I have 8 hours left on my trial so I'm done to play some today for sure. I'll hope on Origin and fiddle with character creation for a bit so feel free to send me match invites.

    You spend a lot of time looking up and android's skirt at her thong and her general outfit is a tight leather dress that wouldn't look out of place in a CSI episode set in a BDSM club. It's sort of like saying you play a women in an MMO becasue you if you're going to stare at someones ass it may as well be a hot one to the ninth degree.

    I don't really have an answer for it. There are male characters who are sexualised, and there are other female characters who are not sexualised, and all of them have agency over their situation. But they're also all androids, and there are some references to their sexualities without any real answers. This is a game that is interested in asking questions of you every hour or so, sometimes frivolous, sometimes heavy.

     

    Maybe there's a deeper reason for it, maybe that's just how the developers decided she should look.

     

    Or as Anita Sarkeesian used to say, you can simultaneously enjoy media and be critical of its pernicious aspects.

     

    That's not really an answer, but like I said I don't one.

     

    For what it's worth I don't expect an answer from you I'm really just stating how I feel about it and saying to anyone reading the thread "Hey this stuff is here" so they can take that into account in their purchasing decisions.

    Would you say the game overall hews more closely to the demo, which I understand is the opening sequence of the game, or the quick look linked above? They are paced and presented very differently for me, and I liked one and did not like the other.

     

    I haven't watched the quick look as I already bought the game and may as well avoid spoilers but so far the first few missions are just sort of open world fetch quests and not the set pieces of the first mission. It's fine-ish but I have heard it picks up to a pretty big degree later.

    The animations are really the only way the game falls short at least through the tutorial. And that is pretty bad to be fair. It makes Dragon Age: Origins like modern by comparison. Otherwise the writing is the same level of B-Tier but fun and the combat seems really fun so far if you liked the previous games. I'm not expecting to love the game but so far I feel fairly safe that I'll like the overall product.

     

    I do suspect that the reviews will be on the lower side for a AAA game. There's been blood in the water for Bioware since DA2 and especially since ME3 and I suspect this game will end up bearing the brunt of that. Maybe not unfairly I only played through the first mission so I don't want to scream about ETHICS IN GAMES JOURNALISM but I do expect to hear "But The Witcher 3!" a lot.

     

    Also the default Sera Ryder looks in all the cutscenes like a character in an Adam Sandler movie who just farted and is waiting for everyone else to notice. She has like this slight grin at all times regardless of what else is going on and it's super weird.

    Natalie Dormer: "Your brother might be dead"

    Sera: "Yeah but wait til you smell this!"

     

    Also if anyone has more specific questions let me know and when I go back in I'll try to get answers for you.
