| ViolentAbacus 09/18/21 8:55:41 PM #464 | Death's Door (PC) Didn't know what to really expect going into it, just heard them talk about it on MinnMax one day and daggum it's a pretty great game. Kind of like Nanis said, the lack of map is the only thing I really dislike, but honestly after going through a zone I had the areas down pretty well on how to find stuff. Not sure if I'll hit 100%, but gonna try. --- |

| ViolentAbacus 04/12/21 8:54:13 AM #211 | Forgot to post about Ghost of Tsushima Loved the story and the progression in this one. The map was way too huge for me though! Star Fox 64 3D Beat as part of the GotM thing. Wasn't sure about it at first, but I ended up really liking it. It's short, but has a ton of replayability. --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/26/21 8:09:41 AM #135 | Gears of War 3 (XBO | Gamepass) Meh. I'm not a fan of straight shooters, which I've mentioned before, but the changes between 1-3 are really minor between games, so they all felt the same. The main difference in this one being that the enemies were even spongier than usual... --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/24/21 1:43:19 PM #89 | Four (?) people watching Willy's Wonderland was way more than I thought, considering it wasn't the pick! Also seems you either love it or hate it. Going to watch Wilderpeople tomorrow, been on my watchlist for a long time --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/16/21 7:00:44 PM #120 | I figure there's enough differences to consider it a separate (albeit short) game Bowsers Fury (Switch) I really enjoyed this mode, and enjoyed it a ton more than 3D world itself. Being open, and allowing you to go from Shine to Shine immediately without much delay was nice - one of my issues with Sunshine and Galaxy was that it would kick you out of the maps. --- |
| Topic | Post Each Time You Beat a Game: 2021 Edition |
| ViolentAbacus 02/15/21 11:06:31 AM #117 | Been forever since I've beaten a game it feels like, but I have two now. The Last of US 2 (PS4) It's not nearly as bad as everyone online made it out to seem. The story was all right. Not great, but not terrible. The gameplay was great though - I love stealth games so it scratched that itch pretty well. Super Mario 3D World (Switch) I didn't like the locked camera, and I wish it were more like a traditional 3D Mario, but overall I really enjoyed it. The levels felt unique, I really like the Cat powerup and the different playable characters. I swapped between Mario and Luigi until I was able to 3D Mario game rankings (of the ones I've played): Odyssey > Galaxy > 3D World > Sunshine > SM64 --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/14/21 12:52:36 PM #58 | Yep, that's it. You'll have to play wired, so the cord may feel a bit too short, but it works. Other than big picture mode there shouldn't be any more steps, but if there is it just involves going to the settings and changing the controller configuration to the Switch Pro controller which you can find a step by step guide fairly easily --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/14/21 12:12:35 PM #56 | Underleveled posted... I'm not much of a PC gamer, like, at all. But this seems too good to pass up and risk waiting for a sale on a console that might not happen. How complicated is it to get a Switch Pro Controller working on Steam? How about Steam Link? (This sure would be an opportunity for me to actually use that) If you have the USB to usb-c it's pretty streamlined, Steam supports pretty much any controller. Though you may have to play in big picture mode. I used my Switch Pro controller for a long while on it. --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/13/21 2:52:28 PM #11 | Fargo (1996) - Despite the Coen brothers being in my top 3 directors, and hearing a ton about it, I've never watched it. It was a hoot and a half! 9/10 Rankings for overall Coen brothers movies I've watched: No Country for Old Men > Fargo > Big Lebowski > The Ballad of Buster Scruggs > O Brother, Where Art Thou? > Hail, Caesar! > True Grit > A Serious Man I also went ahead and watched Willys Wonderland since I was going to do that anyway. I wasn't going to talk about it, but since Snake did, I will too! Willy's Wonderland - 8/10 I tried starting up 45 Years and just wasn't feeling it at the time... Maybe eventually! --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/12/21 4:05:05 PM #493 | kateee posted... as far as official versions go, Willy's Wonderland is available for rent on amazon prime, microsoft store, fandangonow for $20 Weird they didn't announce that previously. Also think it's on Vudu? The main reason I recommended it was I was going to watch it tonight regardless haha. Other than that all of the other noms were ones I've wanted to see for a long time. I was kind of surprised to see Into the Woods get so many noms! Figured that any Willy's Wonderland would have the least. --- |

| ViolentAbacus 02/08/21 1:13:07 PM #37 | The big enemies always took me a few tries. I recommend the ability that lets you notch multiple arrows and the one where time slows when you jump. I always thought stealth was pretty much useless against large machines outside of the first stealth hit. --- |

It's the same length, and the additional stuff is optional. Though I think it gives the option of playing through expansion stuff earlier on (I could be wrong on that, I didn't do the expansion when I played) --- |

| ViolentAbacus 01/25/21 7:27:17 PM #15 | Colegreen_c12 posted... One punch man basically becomes chicken scratch art wise after a point and the story isn't quite as good after the anime. This is just not true in the slightest. I would say OPM. The art is amazing, and the story is pretty cool - though the current arc is a bit dragged out. --- |

| Topic | Ever lose a shit ton of progress on a game and just quit it? |
| ViolentAbacus 01/25/21 3:53:09 PM #41 | It depends on the game, I guess. But generally an hour is no problem, I'll shrug and redo it. In FF6 I lost like 2-3 hours of progress twice, but still went through it. In Thief 2 my game had a glitch where I would have had to restart. I was half way through and just said screw it and never went back. --- |
