OT: Video Games V

[PB12]

So the Caps have a decent amount of legends. I'm adding Murphy, Oates, Gartner, Gonchar, Maruk, Iafrate, Langway, Carpenter, and Pivonka. Maybe Laughlin. The rest wern't here long enough or were not good enough.

Not having Bondra is silly.

I’m guessing it’s a licensing issue?

Yep. He isn't part of the alumni association. Then again there are some players who arn't that are in, but those were probably some bigger names.

Honestly not bad for the Caps. The biggest crime is not having Bondra and Hunter. Would like Kolzig, but you got Holtby so that eases that blow. You could make a pretty good Legends team for the Caps.

I do have fond memories of playing Burridge so many years ago...in some old NHL XX title....

I will run this into the ground if I have to but Celeste is the best game I've played over the past few years. The new Chapter 9 DLC is fantastic.

I just got Intellivision Pitfall flashbacks.

Borderlands 3 day

Borderlands 3 day

Hard to believe its been 7 years since Borderlands 2... and 5 since the Pre-Sequel.

They used to be so much faster at making sequels.

I read the dev team just got burned out and shifted focus to Battleborn or something. Here we go:

Borderlands 3 “wouldn’t be as good as it is now” without Battleborn

A break makes sense... feels like the 2nd game is usually the best.

I made it through the base game of Celeste and I have no desire to go back. That was literally painful, at least on the switch.

Still playing Control, crushing enemies with telekinesis is incredibly satisfying.

Yesterday, we played with some friends to this game. It was so funny.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

The new controller sounds bad ass.

 

[g00n]

Any reactions to FIFA 20? I don't see much difference in gameplay other than a few minor items (50/50 balls are somehow more annoying and players just stumble and get stunned). There are some improvements to the functionality/menus in FUT but still the inconvenient step of buying a player on some screens and having to back out to the transfer menu.

When is "holidays 2020"?

Between late October and New Years.

Update on NHL 20 Capitals legends

Now on the Caps legends roster is one Jaromir Jagr. Which is awkward because the first line center is Adam Oates. And we all know the history between those two.

Despite my feelings for Jagr for his time here in DC, i do respect his career. I put the 47 year old, 79 ovr Jagr on the 3rd line of the current Caps for 1 yr, 700k.

Pulled a De Bruyne 91 rating card from a reward pack yesterday. I don't think I've ever received a pack card higher than maybe 85 Falcao or something going back to last year.

Downside is my usual 100 chemistry, 83 overall team is almost entirely Spanish and La Liga so his chemistry is a 4 at the CAM position. Fekir is better there, and De Bruyne's presence lowers the chemistry of Rodrigo and Morales who have been gangbusters up front (backed by Vidal and Rakatic). And the card is untradeable so I can't sell it.

I guess I have to just build an EPL squad as well.

One thing I'm not sure of is why the AI teammates are so f***ing bad at defense. I mean they will just run right past the ball if you don't control them. Awful. Not sure if a higher defensive awareness score will change that. If so I may have to spend on Pique up the middle. Nacho is kind of soft that way and Bartra is OK but better suited to the outside with his speed (I run 3 CB).

 

[Devil Dancer]

Outer Worlds is pretty good. It's basically a Fallout game with a somewhat smaller scope.
