I found the whole "lab" funny in that it's what I bet children think a state of the art "science" lab looks like, complete with arbitrary display cases that tell you neat factoids! Being a comic story, this is of course on brand though.

Last game had some of he best traversal in the business. That they managed to make it even more fun is amazing. They are really leaning into that speed they can do with the fast streaming.

This year man...

I did the same.

Answering my own question: it did eventually appear on Amazon tonight for purchase. (But I haven't watched yet)

Anywhere to stream this without cable? Amazon has a stub for the page, but no episodes listed. I'd be willing to buy the season if they actually release the episodes there.

Ridding myself of the completionist attitude and need to finish every game I start was hugely liberating and made me enjoy the time I spent in games much more.

My synopsis. First attack was out of combat, which then starts combat with surprise giving you an action. The first attack gives you an extra attack though, which doesn't use your action so you use it and your action remains. Then you attack another enemy, this uses your attack for the combat round that started, but then you also have your extra attack for making an attack with your action.

The only class change to the party I made was Shadowheart -> Life Cleric. Heavy armor + tons of heals is pretty great. War Cleric is solid too though.

As the AI expert, I know for a fact that it doesn't have to be that way though It also doesn't have to be that way either though! I don't play competitively because I don't have anywhere near enough time required to play a fighting game competitively. The fighting genre community is generally very hardcore. But I still get these games because I usually enjoy the over the top stories and some of the other SP modes. And if it's true that 99% of people show up for the story, maybe it should get more love! If the game developers simply don't want to make a story mode, that's fine, I have not objections to developers focusing on the game they want to make. But they clearly do put a bunch of effort into them, so it's a valid place to criticize!

I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, the history of mortal kombat bosses were hard because they were cheesy. So I'm glad to do away with that. But on the other hand, when you're rocking everyone's world it's not as satisfying to smash their head in as it is when you have to struggle toward it.

Finally got around to finishing this. It is probably the easiest mortal kombat I've ever played. The final boss fight was just a fight and I cleared it nearly instantly. I'm not even good at fighting games!

No, you don't need the expansion for that. You get all the system changes for free. The expansion is just the new quests and location (maybe iconic weapons part of the new quest I suppose are also locked to the expansion?)

I’m guessing they don’t yet have the compute to open it up.

If you speed run it and ignore everything that's not absolutely necessary you can probably do it in 10, but 20hrs does feel like the time you would spend if you're playing casually and actually trying to enjoy the time until then

Top 10 were the following. Seems about right. Definitely hard since the pairwise comparisons are always a bit fuzzy, but this seems like it lands close enough that I don't want to try to fine tune it! 1 Halo 2 Baldur's Gate 3 3 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 4 The Witcher 3 (+ DLC expansions) 5 Myth 2: Soulblighter 6 Portal 2 7 Diablo 2 8 Deus Ex: The Conspiracy 9 Persona 5 (Royal) 10 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Oh to be clear, I meant that duality of the character is good and what it's used for. The actual legal stories themselves are not the part that's interesting though and it seems counterproductive to try and make that the focus and interesting.

Um yeah, who the fuck thought anyone was watching Daredevil for its riveting legal stories? Him being a lawyer provides context for the character and a duality of working both within the law and outside it. That's about it.

This is peak Japan.

Someone's been watching Gen V!

I wasn't sure whether to respond to this with the laugh emoji or cry emoji.

You know what's aged super well for him? Calling game developers who didn't want to incorporate monetization into their game from the start "fucking idiots." ("pure and brilliant" but also "fucking idiots").

FWIW, there are also still big side questions that tie into the main story. In particular, the companion quests often tie in quite strongly, as do some of the others.

It is recommended to start fresh because they overhauled the game and the entire leveling system. But it is not required. You have three options: 1. Start a new game. You will get a call that launches the Phantom Liberty story after you do the Voodoo boys main quest. 2. Start a new character directly into Phantom Liberty. This is an option from the main menu. I think they just advance you to that part of the game and give you a level 20 character or something to start with. 3. Load a previous character. When you do this, you keep the character level and question progression and just have to reassign all of your perk/attribute points, because again, these systems are entirely different now. It's a little weird in that you won't really know exactly what you're selecting since you didn't get them naturally, but you can also always respec whenever you want so you can experiment in PL. As long as your character that you load is past the voodoo boys quest, you'll immediately get a call starting the PL quest. If your previous save is a "game completion" save, that's perfectly fine, because game completion saves always take you back to right before the point of no return.
