Also isn’t the name Intergalactic a misleading title?

That word means travel between two or more galaxies - Mass Effect for example as a franchise would count (as first trilogy is in the Milky Way, Andromeda is set there).

Instead the new ND game is set on a single planet…

The issue I have with this game reveal is that it doesn’t show any gameplay. So there is nothing for me to hype about.

Only glimpse of gameplay it shows is somewhat similar to light saber in Star Wars. Which is good.

Insert GTA release date and many will skip to 2026

I’m afraid of that too. And this is while a slip to 2026 for GTA is very possible too. It’s tricky for the pubs.

The piece is written in a slightly tiring vibe similar to the trailer, but still worthwhile. And it’s the first time I’ve heard this:

On top of that, the universe is expanding beyond the game! The Outer Worlds 2 will be featured in the upcoming Secret Level anthology series, streaming on Prime Video. Tune in on December 17 for a short story that takes place between The Outer Worlds and The Outer Worlds 2.

So that Elden Ring standalone.

Is it the same map, creatures, etc as base game but just with three player co-op option? Or is this a new world?

As someone who didn’t buy the game because I just don’t like “punishing” myself too much, lol, a co-op experience could be just what I want!

After I finish Metaphor, I am going to try out Silent Hill 2 remake. I hope I like that game more than Alan Wake 2

Jesse reviewed it as part of this:

The Outer Worlds: The Company We Keep

I had high hopes for this one, and they were mostly delivered. Featuring Amos, a space orphan with unbelievable luck (at times) who is looking to earn a buck. He finds that Auntie Cleo’s company is looking for test subjects and he volunteers. Felicity was his friend who went to work for them, and he was hoping to finally see her again.

It’s The Outer Worlds, so capitalism has run amok and these tests kill most of their subjects. Amos’ luck holds out (a bit) and we get an emotionally satisfying ending. The CGI takes the style of the game and dials it up to 100, with really weird-looking human characters that are just a bit off. I dug it, along with how well it felt like the IP.

Score – 7 out of 10

There will be similar areas and enemies as it’s Elden Ring, but the team at FromSoftware heading this co-op game are bringing in a lot of stuff from previous souls games.

At least 2 characters from Dark Souls 3 have been brought over, the Fire Keeper: the woman that is asking us to fight and The Nameless King: the man ridding on top of the dragon shooting lightning down on us.

From the little I’ve seen of it, so far it feels like this is going to be closer to a Monster Hunter type game. But I will be watching lobosjr cover the IGN article about it(anytime I can skip IGN, lol).

Elden Ring Nightreign is a 3 player (you don’t make a character, there are 8 to choose from) survivalesque game. You try to survive three day/night cycles then the map shrinks and forces you to fight the boss.

I asked the same thing on a different forum and this person claims:

It’s kinda like a co-op rogue lite. There will be waves lasting 15 minutes and you have to survive it. It’s not a co-op of the base game.

If he’s not trolling me…it’s not going to be for me, lol. A actual co-op experience of ER would absolutely be my jam.

That being said, i see ER is in the sale now, shit, decisions, decisions.

There ya go, thanks.

That’ll be a skip for me.

I 1000/1000d Elden Ring and played through Shadow of the Erdtree and I won’t be getting Nightreign because that just isn’t my type of game.

It’s time for me to go to the water temple, the infamous water temple in OOT. As two children in the 90s me and my brother gave up on that, that is where we quit. I don’t remember the exact details anymore and why we never bothered to try again, but hey, such is life I guess.

This time I’m in it to finish it! Let’s GO!

It’s nowhere nearly as bad as an adult, and if you have the 3DS version, it’s been streamlined… that reminds me that I still need to beat the 3DS version lol. Guess I have another target for the challenge next year :slight_smile:

It’s the N64 version via Nintendo Switch Online. And at times I definitely am fighting these controls, I try to auto target annoying bats or crows and it just won’t do it but overall I’m having one hell of a good time! :ok_hand:t2:

Oh I bet, why oh why didn’t From implement that properly for console as well? I’d probably have been playing it on day one.
