Video Games General

MH Wilds Title Update coming next Friday (April 4th) and I'm pretty excited about the roadmap they laid out and what they teased for Title Update 2 this summer. I'm a little bit disappointed because two of the additions, the Grand Hub and the High Rank version of the final boss along with its weapons and armor feel like they should've been base game but probably got cut for time. They're already adding an Arch-Tempered Monster a few weeks after that and even though Rey Dau isn't a hard monster I can feel in my bones that thing is gonna kick my ass.
 
Rey's kiiiiinda the least of the Apex monsters even if he his cool so it'll be interesting to see a super duper tempered version. They're adding Mizutsune and Lagiacrus too. I think there was something about a crossover with another Capcom series. I've been wondering if it'll just be themed gear or whatever or an actual monster. If it is, Dragon's Dogma is kinda the obvious choice. Fighting a chimera in Monster Hunter might be fun.
 
Started messing about with Infection Free Zone. It's a zombie base-building game that's basically RTS, but it's main draw is the fact that you can use actual places on the map. Even your own street. I didn't pick my house, because the difficulty was listed higher and it's my first game, but the spot I did set down a few streets over had a large building nearby that it notes has science/research materials when I'm confident about hitting it... and I fished it up on the actual map, and it's a school. Performing arts, but still. The game even got the shape right, as it's not a normal building shape. I also see grocery stores and such which will probably be some kind of food stop if I look.

Pretty neat so far. Tutorials could be a liiiiittle more robust because I've been a bit confused about the controls here and there, but other than that it's okay so far. It is Early Access, so.
 
This is more a fun pair of videos to share then anything else but first some context. So AC6's multiplayer occasionally has people just straight cheating in it, as you'd expect to happen. The most common cheat that I've heard about is people giving their zimmermans (a really strong shotgun that normally only shoots one round before reloading) a full magazine and auto fire, lot's more missiles and effectively never ending terminal armor (shield that procs when you hit 1 hp and to my knowledge is really hard to wear down at all, it just ticks down normally) so it's normally impossible to kill them.
Needless to say, this makes it close to impossible to beat someone cheating like that. But as you're about to see, close to impossible doesn't mean impossible, particularly when the pilot in question seems to be a Lynx that's escaped his setting.

That last one is particularly impressive because the dude had maybe a few frames where he could get a kill on him and he still pulled it off.

If we ever have Mecha in our armed forces IRL, as impractical as they are compared to tanks

There will be a common saying about how skill isn't much compared to the sheer strength and stats of the latest models

Then you eventually get some guys just tearing through armies using "old tech"

First note: Hate hate HATE "Eerie Darkness" Fuck it. This is why I like the bed upgrade, so I still have battery power when I run into this shit.

Second note:

You ever do something in a game and it's so wild you think "This should be an achievement"?

Was playing Balatro, a boss blind with Spades debuffed. Ante 4 or 5, I think, 10,000 chips needed. Had the joker that takes away your Discards and gives you three extra hands... so when I got a handful of mostly spades (using the spades and hearts only deck) instead of discarding them, I had to play them.

Five debuffed cards. Counted as a Flush anyway- I think my Flush was still at level 1, so no help there. I'm thinking this hand is going to make no chips at all.

...Beat the boss in one hand, all cards debuffed.

Burglur (No discards, +3 Hands) Bull (+2 chips per $, 80/90-ish I think) Green Joker (+1 Mult per hand, -1 Mult per discard, at +8) Abstract Joker (+3 per joker, at +15) Throwback (+.25 Mult per skipped blind, at 1.75)

Couldn't believe it.
 
Godspeed you crazy bastard. I think being sued by Nintendo caused Pocketpair to just decide to go full "FUCK IT, WE BALL."
All the partnerships, all the crossplay, and now they're also committing to the joke and thus making it even better. Wishlisted and waiting with anticipation. Even if it's stupid, especially if it's stupid.
Not to mention, I fully expect the meme factories to put out some gold.

Yeah, Balatro be like that. Isn't it great?
 
A colleague recommended Battle Brother since I like playing as mercenaries so much. He described it as a Mount & Blade crossed with Fire Emblem and slathered with ASOIAF.

After playing, I can't really disagree. And I am hooked. The UI can be a bit offputting, but the depth of the gameplay is enough to drown a man. Also, it's hard. Even the easiest difficulty can kick your ass out of nowhere.

My two cent if you want to start playing this beautiful game is this: Always buy shield, or at least a padded tunic for your mercs and keep in formation. Using Hollywood tactics or trying to be a hero will get your mercs killed, no matter how high-leveled they are.
