Willie 01.26.23	Got a PS5 over Christmas with the PS+ subscription so making my way through all the Sony games. Finished Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet & Clank. Now doing the Far Cry games starting with 3.
Vinnymcscoop 01.26.23	I have a lot of games on my Switch that I need to beat, but I'm close to beating Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I just need to beat the final boss, and then I can put it in my cloud storage to save it for later I'm also really close to beating Doom as well I'm planning to get Link's Awakening remastered, I was always a sucker for Legend of Zelda games
SomeCallMeTim 01.26.23	been playing gta online with a friend and the script kiddies in that game are wild
protokute 01.26.23	Not playing so frequently, but I've been coming back and having a lot of fun with Slay The Spire. And I also started Cultic, which is amazing.
SomeCallMeTim 01.26.23	lol anybody in here played Cruelty Squad? game is insane
protokute 01.26.23	I've seen videos of it, game is mad. But I don't know how much I could enjoy actually playing it.
MO 01.26.23	doom eternal it's just too fun
frozencarl 01.26.23	raiding Ulduar with my dad guild in WoW classic and having the best of times. slogging through RDR2 on the side along with some Hearthstone BGs
someone 01.26.23	one of these days i'll finally sit down and try Doom i've heard and seen too many good things anyone tried GTFO? it's like a third person multiplayer Doom
AsleepInTheBack 01.26.23	Just finished Doom Eternal (honestly top 10 FPS ever, top 5 in terms of combat crunchiness alone) Just started Rimworld and am hooked.
Sinternet 01.26.23	replaying new vegas for the billionth time and spamming out some fm and vampire survivor sessions in between
zakalwe 01.26.23	Yeah, Iâ€™m doing New Vegas as well sin. Absolute classic.
BaselineOOO 01.26.23	Sekiro and Overwatch
DadKungFu 01.26.23	Played Halo CE recently, haven't played anything in years but me and my brother have been doing co-op and it's been a great nostalgia/bonding experience for us both
protokute 01.26.23	ownnn, that's nice! i wish i had a brother to play games with
Manatea 01.26.23	Iâ€™ve been going back and forth between Hades and Dead Cells after having recently completed Hyper Light Drifter for the second time.
Demon of the Fall 01.26.23	'Yeah, Iâ€™m doing New Vegas as well sin.' (2) got the urge after seeing it mentioned t' other week. Early days but for the first time ever I've taken the Powder Gangers side over the people of Goodsprings, I've not followed this 'questline path' before, so we'll see what happens.
botb 01.26.23	Just finished the crisis core remaster, shit is sick. Then pubg with the boys sometimes and been playing pathfinder: kingmaker in between
Sinternet 01.26.23	based new vegas enjoyers "I've taken the Powder Gangers side over the people of Goodsprings" you goddamn traitor leave easy pete alone - next thing you'll be joining the legion
ConcubinaryCode 01.26.23	Replaying ffx
unclereich 01.26.23
twlight 01.26.23	Haven't been gaming at all since I bought a house but I might snag the dead space remake tomorrow because I never played the original
Hyperion1001 01.26.23	wrath of the lich king Ulduar kicks ass so far
pjquinones747 01.26.23	recently been back on Oblivion and Skyrim as well as playing Pokemon Scarlet when i'm not doing that. big on my comfort games lol
frozencarl 01.26.23	hyperion what faction/ server you play on?
Gameofmetal 01.26.23	Been skipping back and forth between Total War: Troy and Dying Light 2. Troy is fine, just not much new from other total war titles. Dying Light is disappointing, feels like there's nothing in it that's an improvement on the first game, which had a generic story but was ultimately still very fun.
PitchforkArms 01.26.23	Playing all of the Fallout games for the millionth time. Comfort food type games for me
Brabiz 01.26.23	Nioh, and itâ€™s pretty awesome actually
nol 01.26.23	â€œReplaying ffxâ€œ have you beaten it? Iâ€™ve tried twice in recent years and I get pretty far until I hit a particular Seymour boss fight, right after he says he kills kimahriâ€™s tribe. Second playthrough I finally beat that boss and 2 seconds later I was in another harder boss fight and I said fuck this shit lol
nol 01.26.23	I keep on hopping from game to game I canâ€™t decide. Sorta playing smash, PokÃ©mon ultra moon, crash bandicoot, marvel v Capcom 2, and fire emblem engage
pjquinones747 01.26.23	@nol seymour flux is such a bitch. if i remember right you have to make sure you get auron's HP super high so he survives the fuck-you swoopy blade manuever and spam esuna whenever seymour zombies everyone. nowadays when i play FFX im good at manipulating the sphere grid to get yuna and lulu's black magic super powerful and then most of the game is a cinch after that, so my strat assumes you've done a lot of the same stuff i guess. sounds cheap but as long as you use a game guide up to that point you should be able to handle him.
nol 01.26.23	I used no game guide lol, but if I recall keeping auron alive was how I got his ass finally. Itâ€™s been a little while
Hyperion1001 01.26.23	â€œhyperion what faction/ server you play on?â€ pagle alliance. have a 4200gs hpriest and a 4Kgs hunter. no ulduar loot yet tho.
pjquinones747 01.26.23	i am Bad At Video Games but still want to enjoy them so i use guides lmao no shame here. i played final fantasy games throughout my childhood but never came that close to beating one until i swallowed my pride and picked up a guide lol
nol 01.26.23	Iâ€™ve beaten 7 without a guide thatâ€™s it. I think Iâ€™d have to use a guide if I actually ever wanted to beat X, but ehhhh thereâ€™s things that make me not wanna go back
ConcubinaryCode 01.26.23	@nol yeah I've beaten it a few times. I actually got the platinum on ps4. I'm using the expert sphere grid this time because it let's you change characters "roles" way koeasier. You can get tidus in aurons grid, kimahri in rikkus at the start for example. One you get to Seymour Flux it's when the game gets serious about bosses and you gotta work out strategies a bit on the fly. Zanarkand keeper is the boss I'm pretty sure you're referring too and iirc he uses a ton of buffs and debuffs so shit like dispel is what you need to keep him from overwhelming you. Fwiw people have playthroughs without using the sphere grid at all so there's a ton of ways to cheese the game (mostly revolving around using rikkus mix) and I def wouldn't play again without a cutscene skip but that's just on pc for some reason. I'm at the thunder plains now so about halfway through the game atm.
pjquinones747 01.26.23	i forgot to mention that i restarted FF8 yesterday as well, only to get immediately discouraged when i was reminded that i'd be spending half of my time drawing for spells again lol
Drifter 01.26.23	bone brothers - bone brothers m/
ArsMoriendi 01.26.23	New PokÃ©mon Snap It talks down to you a lot, but the actual photo sections are fun
robertsona 01.26.23	imagine if pokemon snap were hard this isnt a dig or anything I'm just imagining. "oh jesus dude GET IT OUT GET THE CAMERA OUT FUUUUUUUCK we missed it
Purpl3Spartan 01.26.23	Right now playing RdR2, Witcher 3, BONELAB, MW2, and ready or not. Will also be getting into half life Alyx eventually. Rainbow six siege is also often a main stay with friends
DungeonBoy 01.26.23	Ctrl + F "Darkest Dungeon".. welp guess i'm the only masochist in this thread.
madrigal30 01.26.23	rn not actually playing anything but the last vidya i really got into was elden ring big time fun
frozencarl 01.26.23	"pagle alliance. have a 4200gs hpriest and a 4Kgs hunter. no ulduar loot yet tho." yo nice dude! idk my gs but i've got a full naxx-bis rogue that ive been playing since day1 of classic vanilla. picked up my first piece of Ulduar loot the other night. super excited to progress through this place, Naxx for the 3rd time was driving me insane
Trebor. 01.26.23	I'm playing more Slay the Spire than is healthy
JayEnder 01.26.23	Dead Space remake tomorrow boyz
Colton 01.26.23	just beat both The Last of Us games. absolutely amazing series, can't recall a more immersive and engaging game experience in a long time. now I'm playing the Uncharted series
Colton 01.26.23	before that I played RDR 2, which was amazing in many ways but the repetitive mission design really started to wear on me by the end of it
trilo 01.26.23	WoW Classic on raid nights (helpless fiend since 2005), Super Auto Pets when i need a quick dopamine hit, Slice & Dice and Slay the Spire. may pick up the Dead Space remake, never played the original
Koris 01.26.23	Currently revisiting a nostalgic classic with the original Golden Sun. Easily one of the best RPGs of its era, handheld or otherwise
Hyperion1001 01.26.23	â€œNaxx for the 3rd time was driving me insaneâ€ i quit during live BC back in the day so I never got to do any of the wotlk content, which is why I came back. always heard ulduar was the best raid they made and I have been having an absolute blast so far. naxx was fun too just a bit too easy tbh.
trilo 01.26.23	naxx was horrible but trying to improve my parse every week was the motivation i needed to get through it. ulduar has been great tho
Emim 01.26.23	Destiny 2 still eats a lot of my time. Recently went back and played some Black Ops 2 zombies with some friends
FreakMachine 01.26.23	Recently reinstalled Battlefield 2042 to see how it is now, and I'm surprised how enjoyable it actually is.
ConcubinaryCode 01.26.23	@robertsona check out fatal frame.
Parallels 01.26.23	I just got a 3070 so I've been binging everything I can with it. I recently beat RE7, and I'm now going in and out of LA Noire, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, and RE8. >recently been back on Oblivion That game will forever have some of the most entertaining and hilarious quests to me.
Parallels 01.26.23	>been playing gta online with a friend and the script kiddies in that game are wild 2 types of hacker players there - You either get to fly through the sky in a car and get bukkaked with cash until the game crashes, or they endlessly enjoy ragdolling your corpse across the map
someguest 01.26.23	Euro Truck Sim 2 is my current obsession
insanedrexl1 01.26.23	Been playing through all the FromSoft games for the first time. Finished the Dark Souls trilogy not long ago, and is almost done with Bloodborne (as long as Orphan of Kos stops kicking my ass). Sekiro next, then finally Elden Ring.
DungeonBoy 01.26.23	Kos, or as some say Kosm?
insanedrexl1 01.26.23	Do you hear our prayers?
swallowtales 01.27.23	Currently on Shadow Hearts Covenant on PS2, not sure what is next - maybe FF Origins Stranger of Paradise, or Fire Emblem Engage. So many game to play, not enough time..
Flugmorph 01.27.23	I play all games.
Storm In A Teacup 01.27.23	Dragon Age Origins
DungeonBoy 01.27.23	Shadow Hearts 2 was good but the original still sticks with me. The spinning wheel hit mechanic is one of the best features of any turn based RPGs ever made
naughtcturnal 01.27.23	140-ish hours in Monster Hunter Rise. Been farming Malzeno for its full armor set but I frickin hate that thing. I main the Hammer. If any1 plays this on switch hmu!
Sharenge 01.27.23	beat Silent Hill 3 for the first time a week or so back - wanted to like it more than I think I did but I dunno it was pretty good in a lot of ways but not good in others been fucking around on old vanilla WoW private server a little bit lately even though it's low pop because people would rather pay Blizzard a subscription every month to play 20 year old content currently have a playthrough of Tomb Raider Legend and Telltale TWD Season 1 going sometimes play a little bit of old Pokemon on the DS might give PUBG a revisit here soon
Wildcardbitchesss 01.27.23	Finally ready to put down Ragnarok after 68 hours, until a NG+ comes out. Currently playing Uncharted Legacy of Thieves and MW2 when my friends are all on. Returnal I tried, but I feel like I wasnâ€™t ready for something like that, Iâ€™ll get back to it eventually.
Avagantamos 01.27.23	eternally oldschool runescape
ConcubinaryCode 01.27.23	I'm curious what you liked and didn't like about sh3 sharenge. At the time people did see it as a step down from sh2 which you liked a bit iirc. I actually think the soundtrack is the games strongest aspect and Heather is also a great protag.
deathofasalesman 01.27.23	been playing the first silent hill, gonna try to actually finish it so i can play sh3 proper
combustion07 01.27.23	Finished up my first playthrough of Red Dead 2 recently and about to start messing around on online mode for it. Outside of that I've started playing High on Life and I play Modern Warfare 2 online pretty frequently. About to reinstall Far cry 5 and finish it and hopefully some more Chivalry 2 once I free up space. I need to get an expansion card for my Xbox. I got an eternal hardrive thinking you could play the games you install on it but I was sadly mistaken and honestly bummed I wasted the money lol
twlight 01.27.23	just bought god of war ragnarok and already have buyers remorse after about 2 hours of playing. really hope it gets better but it feels almost identical as the last one and i really dont give a shit about any of these characters.
Purpl3Spartan 01.27.23	Any Rainbow six siege chads in the house
Purpl3Spartan 01.27.23	Also that new game forspoken looks awful lmao
DDDeftoneDDD 01.27.23	Eheh AC Valhala and its cooler than I thought it would be.
protokute 01.27.23	It's so sad to realize that my GTX 1060 is starting to really struggle with all the new games, even when only playing at 1080p and I don't know when I could get a new GPU... Would love to play Returnal when it come out, but don't know if it would handle it that well.
kodama 01.27.23	I've gotten sucked back into skyrim, but before that happened I was playing Sonic Frontiers and after was going into Horizon Zero Dawn. Some pretty fun stuff. Been enjoying some new pc hardware I picked up.
kodama 01.27.23	>It's so sad to realize that my GTX 1060 is starting to really struggle with all the new games, even when only playing at 1080p and I don't know when I could get a new GPU... I was pretty happy with my 1060 still, I upgraded to a 6700 XT because I run linux and AMD just plain works better with this OS. Like I can actually play Forza now, and never have to worry about drivers breaking my system. I also have a 1440p 144hz monitor and wanted to actually use its potential. The 1060 was still doing decent for what I needed but it was probably time to move on.
Purpl3Spartan 01.27.23	bro I wanna get back into it and play with this modlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPHTJo-d2YY&t=648s
Demon of the Fall 01.27.23	'you goddamn traitor leave easy pete alone - next thing you'll be joining the legion' that's the plan (RIP Pete & co)... honestly played this game multiple times before I even realised the reason I was attacked on sight by the powder gangs was because I helped the people of Goodsprings and killed their comrades. I just thought they were an enemy you couldn't ever avoid / ally with (which makes literally no sense as they're listed as a 'faction' you can have rep with). I even bought the collector's ed guide. Yeah, I'm clearly stupid.
Wildcardbitchesss 01.27.23	@twilight If you donâ€™t at least care for Kratos, Atreus, Mimir, and Freya then just give up lol. And if I remember right that Thor boss fight is in the first couple hours, that shit is sick
pjquinones747 01.27.23	">recently been back on Oblivion That game will forever have some of the most entertaining and hilarious quests to me." that is the beauty of it. and somehow even with its blatant ridiculousness, Oblivion's quests are still better than Skyrim's overall.
Purpl3Spartan 01.27.23	Whatâ€™s amazing about those two games is that you can play them over and over for years and still find new things
FreakMachine 01.27.23	Currently working on all achievements in Vampire Diaries on steam whilst I grind on OSRS.
twlight 01.27.23	I accomplished the impossible and got a refund for gow Ragnarok from PlayStation. Really wasn't feeling it. Will pick up when it's half off in a year
JoyfulPlatypus 01.27.23	I'm on a rougelite hype right now - been playing the shit out of Dead Cells and Binding of Isaac lately. Also picked up Steamworld Dig 2 last night, and that's been a good time so far.
rellik009 01.27.23	Rain World(Fave of faves, incredibly unique game), Celeste(2nd fave), Inscryption(3rd fave) Dustforce... oh and league of legends.
unclereich 01.27.23	share your ps gamer tags
BAT 01.27.23	Got a ps4 back in October but been slow to get into anything, couple of hours into god of war and a bit of Dishonored, picked up a stack of games around Christmas tho but only real multiplayer game I've got for it is mw2 and a buncha fighters(sf5/dbz/etc). ^tags Tabv_v Annnd I got a fresher ps2 few weeks ago and I'm gearing up to go on a survival horror binge(copped silent hill 2/siren/resident evils and contemplating rebuying clock tower 3 causmy childhood copies nowhere to be found). Atm I've just been playing more re4 lol but I'm doing the god of wars once I get thru gow2018.
ConcubinaryCode 01.27.23	@MyOwnKillingMoon psn

FreakMachine 01.27.23	"I accomplished the impossible and got a refund for gow Ragnarok from PlayStation. Really wasn't feeling it. Will pick up when it's half off in a year " Just torrent it during its inevitable PC release
FreakMachine 01.27.23	"but I'm doing the god of wars once I get thru gow2018." Yeah I just downloaded the PC version of God Of War 2018. Played it until the first dragon fight before, but gonna do it at 8k60 on PC
Storm In A Teacup 01.27.23	I can't play skyrim anymore. A year or two ago I realized I need decades to play the mods I had already downloaded so I just give up on Skyrim.
BAT 01.27.23	I'll add ya'll later tonight but I usually only play stutf at like graveyardshift/vampire hours. And lol the ps4 version is probably like a cubic root of 8k60fps, overall I'm digging it but wasn't what I expected coming from the ps2 games, a bit more unchartedy than dmc buuut I do like uncharted Also I waaanted dead space but my PCs too old and they aren't putting it out on last gen stuff :(, I'll just replay the ogs and wait for rem4ke. I've also been meaning to finaally play thru re6 so if anyone's trying to co-op that hmu on PSN or I've got the steam vers aswell
DungeonBoy 01.27.23	"I'll add ya'll later tonight but I usually only play stutf at like graveyardshift/vampire hours." Username checks.. out?
FreakMachine 01.27.23	"Also I waaanted dead space but my PCs too old and they aren't putting it out on last gen stuff :(," Out of interest what hardware you running? Because it runs on a 680, at 30fps, so it should run on anything newer
BAT 01.27.23	@dungeon lmao, I don't plan any of this out but it's the unfortunate truth @freak my pal gave me his old CPU/Mobo when he updated sooo I'm running an i7-4790 with a 1050ti and 20gbs of ddr3. It's worked well enough for years that I didn't find it nessisary to start anew but dead space is the first game that's tempted me lol. I did recently get a 4k tv aswell so maybe the stars are aligning. If ds 'gets cracked' or has a demo maybe I'll try it but the 'minimum req' seem past all my specs
neekafat 01.27.23	Returnal is so fucking good
FreakMachine 01.27.23	"@freak my pal gave me his old CPU/Mobo when he updated but I'm running an i7-4790 with a 1050ti and 20gbs of ddr3.

I did recently get a 4k tv aswell so maybe the stars are aligning" Upgrade the ram to DDR4 at least 2800mhz and DS remake will run
Flugmorph 01.27.23	started playing disco elysium today.
BAT 01.27.23	Wordword I'll look into it, never really looked into my CPUs specs but hopefully it isn't part of that Intel generation that's locked to 3-1600. Might look for a cheap board that allows dd4/oc if that's the case orrrr wait it out. Most new parts I'm seeing in mid range end up near a ps5 price Soo not sure when I'll ultimately take the leap
Parallels 01.27.23	@BAT >i7-4790 That's still a great CPU even today. You'll really only bottleneck in a few CPU intense games, maybe like the loading sequences of No Man's Sky. That can play nearly anything on high/max settings when paired with a 3 series card. @pjquinones747 Skyrim: Kill 10 Bears Oblivion: We need you to discover and oust an all-female gang that has been humiliating the men in our village. They tempt them with sex, then lure them up to to the abandoned cottage to strip them naked and then they rob them blind. The men are all too scared to come forward and admit that they tried to cheat on their wives but instead got robbed by a group of ladies. Oh, and if you're a female character yourself then the gang will even try to recruit you too.
FreakMachine 01.27.23	@Parallels "That's still a great CPU even today. You'll really only bottleneck in a few CPU intense games, maybe like the loading sequences of No Man's Sky. That can play nearly anything on high/max settings when paired with a 3 series card." This shows why people without knowledge shouldn't talk about PC parts. Even at 720p, almost every game today when paired even with a 980 isn't CPU limited. So saying "a 30 series" further reinforces that point. CPU bottlenecks on the low-mid range are a thing of 10 years ago and haven't been an issue for years. EVEN a 3rd Gen i5 is capable of 60fps in most games today. And that cane be shown time and time again online
BAT 01.27.23	Yeee never really worried about my cpu until I saw dead spaces reqs, I don't have much interest in other triple a games so wasn't planning to upgrade anytime soon. I've never been worried about resolutions so it's been fine for everything I've thrown at it so far, buuut 60bucks is a bit of a gamble lol. I've got an even older i7-860 and it also runs most moderner stuff fine(aslong as it's got all the nessisary CPU instructions). My whole rational was it's not worth getting a budget CPU/modern i3 because it'd only be like a marginal increase over my current rig. If I did get a new CPU it's prolly be like a 300bux i7/Ryzen. I wiiish I had gotten a 1060 ti instead but I bought the 1050ti when it was 110bux, I was shocked to see it upcharged to 300s a year or two ago, it's an underwhelming card tbh but works well enough. If it's on ea play/gamepass might try launching it as is, my hdds are probably a bigger bottleneck than my cpu tho lol
protokute 01.27.23	Disco Elysium is an absolute classic. Hope you have a good time, Flug!
FreakMachine 01.28.23	"Yeee never really worried about my cpu until I saw dead spaces reqs, I don't have much interest in other triple a games so wasn't planning to upgrade anytime soon.

FreakMachine 01.28.23	And nah the 1050ti as a low end 1080p card was excellent and is still viable in most games today. Nvidia haven't done a true 1080p card since, even the 3050 is capable of 1440p gaming using DLSS
Purpl3Spartan 01.28.23	LAPTOP GAMERS RISE UP ðŸ˜¤
Emim 01.28.23	I've been playing a lot of Empire at War mods on my laptop lately
BAT 01.28.23	I've heard the 1650 was just a rebrand of the 1050 so I feel ya, I initially bought it as an upgrade from a 650ti and aside from more vram/textures I was expecting it to handle extra effects better buuuut stuff like siege wouldn't have much of an advantage fps wise regardless of the vram, had friends that went with the Rx 580 instead with worse CPUs getting better framerates here and there, but I am glad I got the card when I did cause it's lasted me probably around 5 years now with no issue, might 4k CS go but haven't tried it. I did just get doom eternal thru humble and I assume that will be easy to run
RogueNine 01.28.23	NFS Unbound with some friends but it's not as good as its predecessor.
Parallels 01.28.23	@Freak "This shows why people without knowledge shouldn't talk about PC parts." Not sure how that is speaking without knowledge, unless I missed something earlier in the conversation. I'm speaking from experience, that specific CPU and older models do have problems with the loading sequences of No Man's Sky, which are CPU rendered, not GPU. There are other games out there that are CPU-intensive during gameplay but they're likely limited to script heavy indie games made in old ass RPG Maker engines. My second comment was to imply exactly your point - that it really doesn't matter, you can use any GPU really to do the heavy lifting in nearly all modern games.
Purpl3Spartan 01.28.23	Who got steam?
Koris 01.28.23	^ Me! I've actually been buying a bunch of games on Steam recently
Sharenge 01.28.23	dat steam gotcha
Sharenge 01.28.23	gotcha wit dem steam deals
BAT 01.28.23	@para think they were mainly concurring with you but i'll admit to being unknowledgeable about dead spaces scalability mainly cause of how new it is. i've seen many cases where the posted minimum requirements are much higher than what i have on paper, but my 'unsupported' cpu or gpu runs them perfectly. now that youtubes got some people testing on my gear i'm a little more interested buut still a bit apprehensive about buying it so soon if it'll end up being janky, i don't even have ssd's and that's listed as a minimal lol. haven't built a computer in forever so don't really know what cards/cpus are the best bang for the buck anymore and my steams https://steamcommunity.com/id/prollytab/ , added someone while back to play insurgency sandstorm but was too tied up to really get the chance, i'm still working my way back into playing stuff
someone 01.28.23	Got Steam so I could buy stuff on sale. Don't remember if I've ever bought a game at full price
Veks 01.28.23	Just bought Elden Ring. Kind of ooof starting it cause I know what's coming. It's the only soulsborne game I haven't played and finished (lie, haven't played Demon Souls). Still, plunging into known suffering takes courage and madness.

someone 01.28.23	@Flug, you have to open your profile in browser
ffs 01.29.23	well i did it folks i beat noita thank you all for believing in me
someone 01.29.23	Attaboy
Colton 01.29.23	so Uncharted 1 hasnâ€™t aged very well but Uncharted 2 is still pretty sick. on to 3 now
Ryus 01.29.23	persona 5. first time playing a game like that and not sure how i feel. also slay the spire as always
Colton 01.29.23	uninstall immediately that game is a pipeline
Storm In A Teacup 01.29.23	Yeah the federal investigation is crazy
protokute 01.29.23	came sooooo close to defeating the Heart for the first time in Slay The Spire as the Defect, but I failed. it's just too brutal
Hyperion1001 01.29.23	bought vampire survivors last night bout to dive in.
Effigy 01.29.23	Dark souls III, nameless king is giving me a hard time atm
CugnoBrasso 01.29.23	After loving Dark Souls and Bloodborne, I've been meaning to play Elden Ring for a while but I've been fairly busy lately. I haven't properly played a videogame in ages, but the new Zelda will be likely to change that.
protokute 01.29.23	@Hyperion get ready to get addicted
Hyperion1001 01.29.23	thats what my friend said lol. and for $6 for the base game and the dlc you really cant go wrong.
Sinternet 01.29.23	yeah vampire survivors is so addicting its unreal i feel like there was a barrier for me for the first hour or so i played it where i wasn't progressing much and then some of the power up combos clicked and it became this super fun i am a god delete hundreds of enemies every second slaughterfest
protokute 01.29.23	As someone who had only briefly read about the praise the game was getting on early access and not watching any gameplay video and decided to buy it, I was very much confused the first time I played it lol took me a while to get the hang and understand what was going on, but then it was all i could think about for a whole week
Tundra 01.29.23	Kingdom hearts III level 1 proud mode
Koris 01.29.23	N++. I didn't even know there was a sequel to N+, but this one is just as fun as the original. Lots of fun and tricky puzzles :]
Colton 01.29.23	@cugno Elden Ring falls off in the last 1/3 or so, but the first 2/3 are stellar. one of the best open worlds ever that actually feels fun to explore
Effigy 01.29.23	^Agreed hard, not a fan of lategame scaling
Colton 01.29.23	the map also just becomes a lot less interesting to explore. like the snow area felt completely unfinished
Colton 01.29.23	it peaks when you get to the capitol
Ryus 01.29.23	"uninstall immediately that game is a pipeline" to becoming a weeb?
CugnoBrasso 01.29.23	Seems like I'll have to get it then
Parallels 01.29.23	>a pipeline to becoming a weeb I will now play your game.
protokute 01.29.23	Agreed, Colton. Unfortunately, the repetitive dungeons and mini bosses, coupled with the lack of more interesting areas, start to drag down the last third of the game.
Colton 01.29.23	also recently finished The Last of Us 2. I know it pissed a lot of people off but for me it was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had. so good
Manatea 01.30.23	Iâ€™m seriously thinking about getting Tunic. Idk how many indie games you guys play but it looks great. Recommended?
AsleepInTheBack 01.30.23	criticisms of the late game of elden ring seem to just wave away the fact that miquellas hallaigtree and faram azula are two of the better legacy dungeons with some of the best bosses, and that the final run of bosses is also very good. The open world side of the game takes a dive, for sure, particularly in the tundra areas, but I get the feeling they wanted to make it more linear and direct as part of the urgency / climax of the story after the capital. Like if you were fucking around in side dungeons for 50 more hours after that point the pacing would feel off.
Parallels 01.30.23	Regarding Resident Evil 8 (Village), its obvious that they just wanted to make re4 again so badly, they couldnt wait for the actual re4 remake
Parallels 01.30.23	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oXx0qwe0wc
FreakMachine 01.30.23	"Regarding Resident Evil 8 (Village), its obvious that they just wanted to make re4 again so badly, they couldnt wait for the actual re4 remake" I actually completely disagree with this, I don't see too many of the similarities between Village and re4 except that one village siege. "criticisms of the late game of elden ring seem to just wave away the fact that miquellas hallaigtree and faram azula are two of the better legacy dungeons with some of the best bosses, and that the final run of bosses is also very good.

Like if you were fucking around in side dungeons for 50 more hours after that point the pacing would feel off." I actually felt Elden Ring is good all the way through for the first playthrough, doing all the content, but repeat playthroughs haven't enticed me at all. It's much better with an enemy and item randomizer mod installed. Especially without enemy scaling, I ended up with Radagon instead of Margit and holy heck that was rough.. "also recently finished The Last of Us 2. I know it pissed a lot of people off but for me it was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had. so good" Amazing game. 10/10.
DungeonBoy 01.30.23	RE Village is one of the best RE games ever made, VII was incredible, but I think somehow they made VIII even better. Elden Ring was a masterpiece, but yeah by end game it gets to be a tad of a slog. I honestly think they could have made the game shorter and more succinct, but it was so fun just to run around and kill stuff and the atmosphere was so incredible, the length (end game) didn't ruin it for me. I do think it's a valid criticism. I think the problem with the length for me was that it turned me off from repeat plays, and I didn't really get that feeling from any previous SoulsBornes.
AsleepInTheBack 01.30.23	Elden Ring lacks replay value for sure, at least compared to the other souls games (I could play bloodborne forever honestly), but itâ€™s built into the design (same reason I canâ€™t replay breath of the wild and it saddens me so much)
Parallels 01.30.23	>I don't see too many of the similarities between Village and re4 except that one village siege. It literally brings back tetris attache case inventory, has the same currency system, with a mysterious merchant that can also upgrade your gun levels, shooting jewels off ceilings, action-oriented gameplay with enemy loot drops, a non-virus infection that plagues a random obscure European village, key items and treasures in their own slot, using furniture to temporarily barricade, and the entire plot is saving a little girl.
Parallels 01.30.23	Oh and theres a castle. I mean c'mn man, there's dozens of reddit threads complaining and conversely rejoicing about them being very similar in multiple aspects
FreakMachine 01.30.23	" I do think it's a valid criticism." Truly hate this phrase. If a person has a genuine from the heart criticism of something, it's valid, regardless of if someone else sees the merit in it. There sort of phrases are literally stock phrases from nerds who don't live in the real world. "It literally brings back tetris attache case inventory, has the same currency system, with a mysterious merchant that can also upgrade your gun levels, shooting jewels off ceilings, action-oriented gameplay with enemy loot drops, a non-virus infection that plagues a random obscure European village, key items and treasures in their own slot, using furniture to temporarily barricade, and the entire plot is saving a little girl." Yeah don't get me wrong there's similarities but I definitely don't think it plays anything like it at all. And the plot is literally nothing like re4
DungeonBoy 01.30.23	I'm.. uh.. so sorry to upset you? JFC dude.
wojodta 01.30.23	More RE4 isn't a bad thing and so I don't even care if they're similar games. I think it's more of a blend of RE4 + RE7 though.
Colton 01.30.23	FreakMachine why are you always so mad
pizzamachine 01.30.23	I do think thatâ€™s a valid criticism
frozencarl 01.30.23	here's a valid criticism for ya you guys are nerds!! get laid u video game dorks lmao
Colton 01.30.23	Melodic Death Metal (24%)
Parallels 01.30.23	Today I learned that melodic death metal is a genre
Colton 01.30.23	it's not
naughtcturnal 01.30.23	it is and it started when cannibal corpse did a collab with dua lupa in 1983 cmon guys do your homework
Storm In A Teacup 01.30.23	Well this thread appears to be ruined.
CugnoBrasso 01.30.23	Let me put it back on track: my favorite videogame is Deadly Premonition.
RogueNine 01.31.23	I do think it's a valid criticism.
Storm In A Teacup 01.31.23	Hm, fair point.
Effigy 01.31.23	Tried some Enter the Gungeon too but I dont get the appeal of roguelikes at all
KnickFurey 01.31.23	Finally started playing Hades, great game.
ffs 01.31.23	played darkest dungeon again, managed to kill the last of the "hard" bosses and somehow actually killed the shuffling horror in the first endgame dungeon with a kinda throwaway team. lost 2 guys. better grind some more dudes to level 6...
protokute 01.31.23	I love roguelike/lite games and played lots of them, but I couldn't get much into Enter The Gungeon too.
AsleepInTheBack 01.31.23	i do think that is not a valid criticism
Parallels 01.31.23	uhm, acktshually
DungeonBoy 01.31.23	Darkest Dungeon brother in the house. ffs, I just started a couple weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving it. I had avoided playing it for so long because I heard it was "too hard". I definitely struggled to figure out wtf I was doing the first day and kept using wrong classes in wrong positions and really not understanding the mechanics. Even then it was somehow frustrating but also really fun. I've started to experiment more, and I think i'm understanding a little better wtf i'm supposed to be doing. Either way, it's an absolute gem.
ffs 01.31.23	its quality, big fan of the art, the narrator and the general vibe. i think playing for hours and hours and making what feels like 0 net progress is the quintessential darkest dungeon noob experience, i did exactly the same. its the kind of game where learning from your fuckups is still fun, i wouldnt call it a hard game exactly but there are a crazy amount of variables to consider and you need to seriously grind to have guys that will stand a chance in later dungeons. it is extremely satisfying when you find good synergies and just crush an enemy or boss who previously wrecked your shit though. other than familiarising yourself with the classes and enemies i think the biggest hurdle is not getting too attached to your guys, especially for levels like 1-3 you should just dismiss anyone who has really shit quirks/excessive stress because they'll hold you back. save all your gold to upgrade the wagon, guild and blacksmith rather than waste it destressing deadweights. always have a blast playing but i tend to only play in binges, usually i'll lose a legendary hero to some brutal rng or dumb misplay and it puts me off playing for a month or two
DungeonBoy 01.31.23	Yeah I have like 4 or 5 members up to level 3, and I'm so afraid of losing them at this point lol. But yeah it's not that it's hard per se, it's that if you make a bad decision you feel the weight of that bad decision and there's no returning from a serious F up. I absolutely love the atmosphere though, the narrator, the music, the art-style, just the absolute oppressive feeling at times. It really is a masterpiece, I've never played anything like it.
frozencarl 01.31.23	shoot sorry didnt mean to derail the convo, but just fyi Colton my pie chart is a hit with the ladies (just ask ur mom rofl). anyways back on track playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint with a friend and thoroughly enjoying it despite its terrible reviews. tbh the terrible reviews are probably cuz the single player just sucks
gryndstone 01.31.23	Roblox
someone 02.02.23	Excited for the Dead Space remake.
Demon of the Fall 02.05.23	Dead Space good I just purchasedâ€¦ Pokemon Arceus Ni No Kuni: White Witch PS4 Tony Hawks 1 & 2 remake PS4 Should be busy for a while (nearly bought NNK for Switch, but way cheaper on PS4 so yeah)
Dedes 02.05.23	Bought Diablo III recently Fuck I loved playing broken monk builds so much Rn i'm going a necromancer playthrough tho
Demon of the Fall 02.05.23	for future ref whatâ€™s the most â€˜essentialâ€™ Switch exclusiveâ€™ RPG? Xenoblade 3 is on my radar, but I havenâ€™t played any of them before Nier: Automatica, Dragonquest XI, Persona, Ni No Kuni, Diablo etc. arenâ€™t exclusive
Sinternet 02.05.23	wait dragon quest ix is on switch? i thought it was still stuck only on ds - it's the best game in the series anyway
Demon of the Fall 02.05.23	Sorry Sint, meant XI really enjoyed IX on DS though, itâ€™s the only one Iâ€™ve played!
eekseeker 02.05.23	Dying Light 2. Solid game but holy hell those textures are dated
Hyperion1001 02.05.23	vampire survivors is so much fun omg. beat the first two levels so far.
someone 02.06.23	playing Stray adorable, even if mildly frustrating
someone 02.08.23	will play Limbo later probably
DungeonBoy 02.08.23	ooh Limbo is very cool. One of those games that sticks with me to this day
mkmusic1995 02.08.23	I'm going back and playing Dishonored for the millionth time. One of my favorite games!
DungeonBoy 02.08.23	ya know what they say, find one you like and you'll never play another one again
someone 02.08.23	yeah i got a Limbo+Inside combo on sale and am very excited to dig in. seems up my alley, a bit like Little Nightmares
DavidYowi 02.08.23	Iâ€™ve recently beaten Simpsons Hit and Run after not playing it since I was a child and you know what I still had a lot of fun with it! When I was a kid I didnâ€™t do any of the missions, just drove around the map, and I was shocked how much of the game was etched into my brain. Even though some of the missions are ungodly infuriating I was never really annoyed
frozencarl 02.08.23	I'm about due for another Dishonored 1 and 2 playthrough. I cant get enough of Dunwall, its my favorite video game setting. was playing a bit of Deathloop and it seemed like Arkane just reskinned the Dishonored maps
gryndstone 02.08.23	Disco Elysium with my boyfriend. I'm letting him pick everything this time. He seems to be enjoying the style
gryndstone 02.08.23	Also back on my Pokemon Go grind. monkey brain needs to Collect sometimes
DungeonBoy 02.08.23	@someone, it's the OG little nightmares. Inside is a better than Limbo IMO, but if you are going to play them both you'll dig em.
Colton 02.08.23	my mom texted me to tell me her coworker has apparently played 22 hours of Hogwarts Legacy already
deathofasalesman 02.08.23	finished Silent Hill 1 and got the worst ending possible LOL really excited for Sons of the Forest early access this month. anyone else down?
AeniasGaming 02.08.23	Despite my name I really haven't played much lately (I made this account in high school, if I could get rid of the "gaming" I would). But I got re-addicted to Rainbow Six Siege a few weeks ago
Slex 02.08.23	Playing new Dead Space It scawy
artificialbox 02.08.23	where my Path of Exile heads at fr
Demon of the Fall 02.08.23	Dead Space was legit scaryâ€¦ is this just a standard remake of the first one?
naughtcturnal 02.08.23	@demon: from what Iâ€™ve seen if the game it is a massive overhaul with nothing but improvements in pretty much every aspect and more story elements and character development
Slex 02.08.23	I am genuinely shocked how much of an improvement it is tbh, the story is more fleshed out, the new side quests are fantastic, and the ship being fully open without loading now is a game changer I was very down on the reveal because Isaac talked so much and that's weird but that's my only complaint
nol 02.08.23	i am finally maybe potentially starting to get used to traditional fighting games via Marvel V Capcom 2.. what a classic fuckin game dude Getting my training in before Street Fighter 6 comes out in a few months, that shit looks pretty incredible
ConcubinaryCode 02.08.23	Talk to the mods in the forum Aenias. Many users have gotten their names changed. I started GoW Ragnarok recently. Shit is legit. I just rescued Tyr
combustion07 02.08.23	Just started The Darkness. Seems fun so far although I have yet to get used to the shooting system and have been dying a lot. I enjoy the plot so far though. Also started up a career on UFC 4 recently. I was struggling in the beginning practice matches and even took a loss but once I got into the main mode it's been constant wins and I'm on my 6th match of the UFC contract and even when I'm trying to keep a match going I can't even make it two minutes without getting a walk off knockout lol. Started Red Dead online a few weeks ago too. Been fun so far although it's slow going getting gold bars. I'm planning on buying the new Harry Potter game next check also. My coworker has been hyping it up a ton so I'm gonna give it a shot. Haven't played any of the past games and up until a few years back when I binged the series with my ex I'd never even seen any of the movies either. Been meaning to return to Farcry 5 too. I'm still in the first zone when I stopped but I think I'm nearing the end of it
DocSportello 02.08.23	I am bouncing between my nth play of ER, Doom 3, and SOMA rn
combustion07 02.08.23	I never got to play Doom 3. How is it? I have it installed and been meaning to try it along with Eternal
DocSportello 02.08.23	It's fantastic! But about as different from eternal as you can get. I may prefer 3 tbh
nol 02.09.23	with todayâ€™s Nintendo direct it looking like Iâ€™m interested in getting Botw2, Pikmin 4 and the Advanced Wars Reboot (after the price drops when it sells 5 copies). Add on Street Fighter 6 and holy fuck this is gonna be a great year for games
anarchistfish 02.09.23	Horizon Forbidden West and Apex Legends
combustion07 02.09.23	I need to start playing Apex again. A few years back I got stupid good running with Loba on it but I had to take a step back for awhile lol And good to hear on the Doom 3. Definitely gonna start playing it. I'll probably give it a go before I dive into Eternal.
Parallels 02.09.23	>Horizon Forbidden West How is that so far? I'm loving the first one on PC and really hoping for the second to get ported too.
Demon of the Fall 02.09.23	'Talk to the mods in the forum Aenias. Many users have gotten their names changed.' yeah, the forum is completely down and no name changes are possible at present, happened after the outage / issues. That's why Sowing started a 'meds' list topic on the review site, so problems can be reported
BaselineOOO 02.09.23	Anyone wanna play Overwatch 2 with me? I main Mercy, DVA and Ana.
DungeonBoy 02.09.23	Doom 3 was Doom's attempt at FPS survival horror. It feels drastically different than any other game in the franchise. It's not nearly as fun as the old or new games where you have that rewarding blowing crap up vibe throughout, but it has a certain charm to it worth at least checking out. It's not the best Doom game, but for what they tried to do it's worth checking out if you can get it on a heavy discount.
Demon of the Fall 02.09.23	oh yeah, Doom 3 is actually fun for what it is expecting old school Doom carnage is missing the point, you're playing at a much slower pace that said, it's not without fault
frozencarl 02.09.23	my roommate finally brought up his PS4, any exclusives worth checking out? lifelong pc gamer so i'm thinking Uncharted and Last of Us (which is already hard to find cuz of the show)
DavidYowi 02.09.23	Love Doom 3. Great atmosphere and I love how it uses lighting
artificialbox 02.09.23	@frozencarl can't go wrong with Uncharted and Last of Us. check Ghost of Tsushima and new God of War also.
Demon of the Fall 02.09.23	+ Persona 5 + Ratchet & Clank
PumpBoffBag 02.09.23	Just started Disco Elysium Final Cut and I am loving it
artificialbox 02.09.23	I think I finished like 90% of the storyline in Disco Elysium and then just stopped. Don't remember why. Amazing game though I might give it another run soon
PumpBoffBag 02.09.23	Yeah it really is something special. Been craving a post-Elden Ring gaming experience that I can really sink my teeth into for a while now and itâ€™s a perfect fit for me, sooo glad I finally started it
AeniasGaming 02.11.23	@Demon thanks, I'll look into that!
protokute 02.11.23	Disco Elysium is a masterpiece in gaming.
twlight 02.11.23	Playing dead space remake now and it's so great. Love sci Fi horror so this is perfect. Never played the original.
zaruyache 02.11.23	still puttering around in elden ring, but i'm looking forward to Atomic Heart and Scars Above, also want to fit in the pc port of Returnal sometime too.
someone 02.11.23	Ended up playing Limbo tonight. Felt intrigued by the art style and the simplistic mechanics that rely on your own logical wit, but still came away rather frustrated with the game. Gonna go back to Stray and then return to this and try to finish it.
combustion07 02.11.23	My bad thought this was the what are you listening to thread. Edited my nonsense music talk into oblivion
combustion07 02.11.23	On topic though I just bought Mars from the Microsoft store on sale for $2. It's an Xbox 360 game that looks pretty solid. RPG that takes place on Mars where water has become an extremely sought after item and it somehow leads to you fighting off wild looking creatures/aliens! I remember seeing this back in the day but never trying it. Love getting these older backwards compatible games though and taking little journeys back in time
twlight 02.11.23	anyone who is still putzing around in Elden Ring is cool in my book i have a real feeling that i need to play Sekiro again, i got fucked up on the last boss in sekiro and gave up, it was so hard
PumpBoffBag 02.11.23	Sekiro was great, but probably my least favourite FromSoft after DS2. Still a class game but didnâ€™t grab me like the others
twlight 02.11.23	really? why so? ive only played Sekiro, BB and ER
PumpBoffBag 02.11.23	Honestly I think itâ€™s just a personal preference. I was inducted with bb and then I went onto the souls games and sekiro seemed really jarring by comparison with the different setting, more vertical gameplay and combat system. I still had a lot of fun with it and it retains the challenge factor so no complaints on that front. For me bb represents the apex of the collection, but thatâ€™s probably just because I played it first and the horror aesthetic appeals to me
Parallels 02.12.23	>Just started Disco Elysium Final Cut and I am loving it my coworker hyped that up to me and said it was communist propaganda and now im not sure if he was complimenting it or dissing it
botb 02.12.23	Been working my way through the mass effect trilogy remaster but I really wanna play dead space
teamster 02.12.23	Destiny 2 QuakeLive Wonderlands Doom 3 BFG Edition Wolfenstein The New Colossus
Wildcardbitchesss 02.12.23	It is communist propaganda and thatâ€™s a compliment. And botb, if you never played the ME trilogy just work on that dude, those games are incredible.
botb 02.12.23	Have played 1 and 2 but never beat them and never played 3. 2 was my favorite of the 2 I played, but Iâ€™m almost through 1 and I loved it this go around
botb 02.12.23	Also +1 for disco Elysium, havenâ€™t finished it, but have played it on and off for like a year. Itâ€™s incredibly entertaining and narratively batshit insane
protokute 02.12.23	and one of the most genuinely humorous games I ever played
protokute 02.13.23	finally killed the heart as the silent in Slay The Spire (Ascension 6)
artificialbox 02.13.23	brooo I just started playing Slay the Spire again after getting into Dominion (the card game) as they have a lot of similarities. Trying to get better at it but I still struggle to make it thru ascension lvl 3
climactic 02.13.23	just beat sekiro and ds3 ng+, probs get the DeS remaster next
Minortimbo12 02.13.23	rocket league :P
protokute 02.13.23	man, i never thought I would get this much into a card game, but it certainly has gained the status of one of my favorite games, it's just so fun coming back to it every time I'm free to play something, it never gets tiring.
Ryus 02.13.23	"finally killed the heart as the silent in Slay The Spire (Ascension 6)" hell yeah, nice one. was it your first heart kill?
Colton 02.13.23	was recovering from surgery for roughly the past month and in that time I beat The Last Of Us 1 and 2 and Uncharted 1, 2, 3 and 4 it was fun
Colton 02.13.23	now I'm playing God of War
protokute 02.13.23	yes, Ryus!!! I got two very interesting relics early on, which kind of synergized very well, Prayer Wheel that gives an additional card reward every combat, which helped me build a nice deck very quick and Snecko Eye, that increased the number of cards I drew on the beginning of a combat, but randomized the cost of them, considering I had a bunch of 2~3 energy cards, sometimes I was able to get 3 energy power cards, or other 2 energy cards for free. I also had a relic that reduced the cost of a random card to 0 every time I used a power card, which helped a lot too.
DType 02.13.23	GTA Liberty City Stories
Spec 02.13.23	Liberty city stories is fucking awesome. I got a 360 and grabbed it just for fun. I myself have been playing rocket league and just got Mafia definitive because somebody told me it will scratch the RDR2 itch (doubt it).
DType 02.14.23	It's pretty fun yeh, i'm playing it on my PSP, there's an f tone of games i want to beat there
artificialbox 02.14.23	Oh PSP how I miss you. Iâ€™m considering getting a steam deck soon to fill that handheld void.
Minortimbo12 02.15.23	Anyone remember Sword and Poker?
kevbogz 02.15.23	been playing me:andromeda the past couple nights. it's okay-ish but pales in comparison to the original trilogy. honestly just makes me wanna try no man's sky when i see it on sale
Wildcardbitchesss 02.15.23	Andromeda is literally just a byproduct of that Joss Whedon type of writing that we all got tired of around a decade ago. Like god damn I took days off work and skipped classes to play that game and itâ€™s just so fucking mediocre. Itâ€™s a fucking shame honestly, aside from not having any control over your squad mates and no power wheel, itâ€™s by far the best of them when it comes to gameplay. Hopefully this new mass effect plays like andromeda and is actually well written.
kevbogz 02.15.23	kek i picked it up on sale for like $10 so i can't complain too hard. the combat is neat and difficult scales well, but the plot is just..... mid. like u said i've played this story idk how many times before in my life
Wildcardbitchesss 02.15.23	Itâ€™s not really even just the writing the more I think about it. Like, this is a whole new galaxy youâ€™re discovering. The only thing that felt like it didnâ€™t belong in the milky way is Habitat 7. The rest of the planets couldâ€™ve been in the original trilogy and nobody would know the difference. Going to a completely new galaxy shouldâ€™ve let them go wild with it, but instead we get a generic desert planet, a generic snow planet, a generic plant planet etc etc. and only one new race? Come on man. Iâ€™m ranting, I just love the original trilogy so much and Andromeda was just such a disappointment. Worth playing, especially for $10, but man, even like 6 years on it still pisses me off.
botb 02.15.23	Olli olli world is on ps+ for the Sony boys, super fun laid back experience
someone 02.26.23	gonna wait for some paycheck soon-ish and then sweeping that Steam Bioshock Collection deal
Hyperion1001 02.26.23	nfs heat gonna try carx drift racing next.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.23	Youâ€™re in for a treat with Bioshock. Playing Horizon Zero Dawn rn then gonna buy the new one when the dlc drops. Got Spider Man Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank, and The Quarry on the list too.
PotsyTater 02.26.23	Fire emblem engage and â€¦â€¦.genshin impact ðŸ˜¬
ToSmokMuzyki 02.26.23	with my wiener
Hyperion1001 02.26.23	â€œâ€¦â€¦.genshin impact ðŸ˜¬â€ ahh so youâ€™ve decided to become a pedophile.
Demon of the Fall 02.26.23	Ugh, why canâ€™t you add goals (or even gaps) to parks on the Tony Hawkâ€™s Pro Skater 1+2 remakes? It seems like such a basic feature thatâ€™s been available on other versions. Fun game, love the nostalgia, but yeah thatâ€™s a sore point
PotsyTater 02.26.23	â€œ ahh so youâ€™ve decided to become a pedophileâ€ ðŸ’€ðŸ’€ðŸ’€ Itâ€™s actually a lot of fun if you can manage to entirely avoid the degenerate ass community. Ignorance is bliss
Willie 02.26.23	Horizon Zero Dawn was awesome. Horizon Forbidden West was near flawless. One of my favorite game franchises. Mass Effect Andromeda wasn't as bad as people were trying to say, but it wasn't anywhere near the Trilogy. That is my favorite game franchise, right there. I still play the whole thing once a year (with mods now to skip the tedious mini games). I just finished Far Cry 3 and it wasn't up to the hype. I also finished the Final Fantasy VII remake, and it was actually pretty good (never played the original)
PotsyTater 02.26.23	I tried really hard to enjoy andromeda. Played well past the exhaustion of my actual enjoyment just hoping something would change. Itâ€™s pretty damn bad
Willie 02.26.23	Part of it might be my love of the original trilogy, but I powered through it. I've played it three times to get through all the different options (or the majority, anyway). The biggest problem is the open world is empty.
PotsyTater 02.26.23	That is the biggest problem yeah. The gameplay and mechanics are good itâ€™s just not an engaging open world experience and the tasks are too repetitive and thin
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.23	I feel so validated rn. I want to say the game is straight garbage, but there really are enough good elements there to make a good game. For one, BETTER WRITING. â€œMy face is tired.â€ Like shut the fuck up. The only squad members names I remember are Vetra because sheâ€™s cool as fuck and Cora my Ryder smashed. Thatâ€™s it. I donâ€™t even remember the Krogan. The game is aggressively medicocre
PotsyTater 02.26.23	Yeah characters were a lot more forgettable too. I was actually invested in the dialogue and choice making in the other ones but in this one I could not smash x through dialogue fast enough
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.23	Iâ€™m not 100% certain, but I think a lot of it had to do with drew karpyshyn not being involved. Iâ€™m not big reader, I maybe read 2 or 3 books a year, but his Mass Effect novels were phenomenal
Demon of the Fall 02.26.23	I didnâ€™t play Andromeda after the disappointment of 3â€¦ was it that much worse? Wow
PotsyTater 02.26.23	Much much worse than 3
Willie 02.26.23	Definitely worse than 3. They neutered the Krogan (the fight scene is pathetic), and the dropped the spy-vs-spy intrigue of the Salarian (just made them whiney and sneaky). Also, the protagonist isn't nearly as iconic as FemShep. I will say that even though the ending is disappointing even after the update on 3, the other 30-40 hours is some of the best.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.23	lol 3 might be my favorite, at least after the extended cut released SPOILERS FOR MASS EFFECT 3 People shit on the ending but viewing the whole game as the â€œendingâ€ really changed my perspective on it. Like thereâ€™s so many iconic moments in it. Mordin curing the genophage, Mirandaâ€™s whole arc involving her father, that moment on earth with Liara, making peace between the geth and quarians. I love that game.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.23	And ofc everything about Javik and the leviathans was fascinating
CugnoBrasso 02.26.23	Haven't properly played a videogame in years. Just bought Elden Ring on amazon.
Willie 02.26.23	@Wildcardbitchesss: Agreed. That's how I've always viewed it, too. Yeah, the Leviathan DLC fleshes out the story so much. I have Elden Ring, but haven't played it yet.
PotsyTater 02.26.23	Have you played other fromsoft games willie
Willie 02.26.23	I haven't. I can't say I'm a fan of that Soulslike style (or whatever it's called), but I bought into the hype. I've only played Nioh 2 for something similar, and I loved it and hated it at the same time.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.23	As far as souls games go, I really only liked Sekiro and Bloodborne. The dark souls games just feel like they move too slow, like I get the character is covered in armor but I want a little more mobility. Kinda why Iâ€™ve been hesitant on Elden Ring, because Iâ€™ve heard itâ€™s closer to the souls games than Sekiro or Bloodborne
PotsyTater 02.26.23	Iâ€™ve only played the first Nioh so I can only make an approximated claim but I will say that as much as I did enjoy it as a souls inspired game it doesnâ€™t tick all the boxes. A big part of what makes souls games great is how the world is built and connected and in Nioh you are just playing in isolated maps. Elden Ring is probably a good starting point but the problem is that if it turns you into a fromsoft simp then it will probably ruin gaming for you Very little hits the same after you get into dark souls lol. My attention span for new games has been severely crippled.
PotsyTater 02.26.23	@wildcard you have a lot more freedom over your build in Elden ring than dark souls, you can make a build that is like a bloodborne character and even have the quick step dodge mechanic. But also I think dark souls 3 combat was quickened a lot compared to 1 and 2 and Elden ring is probably even quicker than that.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.23	That really makes me want to try it out when it goes on sale. Dark Souls 3 is the only one I really made a dent in so maybe Iâ€™ll give Elden Ring a shot That being said I have a huge backlog of games and not a lot of time. But I really think I might give it a shot now Thx Potsy
Willie 02.26.23	Yeah, thanks. I did think it was weird that Nioh 2 was essentially just a series of video game levels instead of any kind of connected world. I also didn't like having to go back to previous levels to grind up before doing the next stage. At least Elden Ring is open. I just finished Far Cry 3 and now I'm starting 4 (got a PS5 and PS+ for Christmas). I also want to try High On Life for Xbox.
PotsyTater 02.26.23	I actually just played far cry 4 recently, it was a blast.
Willie 02.26.23	I'm about 45 minutes into it.
PotsyTater 02.26.23	Iâ€™ve only played a couple of them so I donâ€™t have the best baseline but I thought the villain was really great and it had the perfect amount of busy-work sidequests where you donâ€™t get overwhelmed and bored (it helps that they are fun). The weapon play is extremely satisfying, especially stealth options like the bow and arrow and sniper, hunting animals is a blast, and it gets really over the top and psychedelic at times. I was really surprised at how much fun I had.
artiswar 02.26.23	I'm just finishing up Resident Evil Revelations 2 and I love it, I had more fun with it than the last few mainline REs. Barry is awesome
Hyperion1001 02.26.23	tbh open world games are way too overwhelming for me anymore. I spend all day making decisions in a sandbox without ever knowing where Iâ€™m actually going, when Iâ€™m relaxing playing games I just wanna be told what to do and go do it.
PotsyTater 02.26.23	I feel the open world fatigue hard. When they are done well, itâ€™s my favourite kind of game, but too often they are just littered and overwhelming. Itâ€™s funny that when they were becoming a thing, everyone just wanted them to be as MASSIVE as possible, but now that they are so common itâ€™s more about paring things back and emphasis on quality over quantity. Thatâ€™s why Elden ring and breath of the Wild are peak open world games for me
PotsyTater 02.26.23	Also why I think Witcher 3 is severely overrated
artiswar 02.26.23	I hate open worlds. Witcher 3 was good but the gameplay sucked so I got bored of it after doing a bunch of side missions.
Willie 02.26.23	For me it's the opposite, I want to be able to just meander around the world and maybe do a handful of things before I have to quit. I don't want to have to finish a level or get to a checkpoint or whatever before I can stop.
Purpl3Spartan 02.26.23	Sekiro shadows die twice finally clicked for me last night
PotsyTater 02.27.23	My least fav fromsoft game purely because Iâ€™m old and my reaction times in video games are shit now Parrying is ahrd
Purpl3Spartan 02.27.23	Yeah itâ€™s tough as hell for sure lol
climactic 02.27.23	If youre struggling you can just parry spam
climactic 02.27.23	sekiro might be my favorite from game. or bloodborne
PotsyTater 02.27.23	i genuinely wish that it was as simple as just standing there and spamming the parry button but it most certainly is not
Supercoolguy64 02.27.23	Bayonetta
PotsyTater 02.27.23	ive been hearing kinda shit things about bayonetta 3 which is a shame cuz the first two were a blast
Dewinged 02.27.23	Trying to get the dlc trophies for Resogun cause I love pain. Oh and SFVI trials, currently at 77%.
nol 02.27.23	Giving Metroid dread a solid try, brother is lending me his switch. Gonna try the Prime Remaster as well but one game from a franchise at a time!
PotsyTater 02.27.23	I loved dread! It was really good! I will try Prime remaster at some point as well if not only to prove to myself that I am smarter than I was when I was 10
Hendoi 02.27.23	I'm playing SubLime with Rome
nol 02.27.23	have you seen the reviews for prime remastered? not that reviews are the final say but I had to scroll half the page on metacritic to reach a non-perfect score
PotsyTater 02.27.23	I didnâ€™t look at reviews but a friend whose taste I trust and respect dearly said it was beautiful and glorious and that was enough to convince me
JohnnyoftheWell 02.27.23	"It's something halfway between the all-or-nothing parries from Dark Souls or Elden Ring and the more forgiving perfect blocks from Sekiro. Your requisite Soulslike dodge is a jaunty little dash that, instead of providing precious invincibility frames, has to be timed with enemy attacks to open them up for a counterattack and raise their stagger meter for critical strikes. It's much easier to pull off than a Fromsoft parry, but a short delay and increase to your own stagger gauge when you dodge without nailing a counter heavily penalizes spamming." ...anyone else hyped for Wo Long next week? won't be able to play til April but mmm gimme those mechs and bosses
protokute 02.27.23	I need to give Bayonetta a fair chance again. Have it on steam, and played for I guess the first 3 hours and then I stopped, and never touched it again.
Demon of the Fall 02.27.23	'tbh open world games are way too overwhelming for me anymore. I spend all day making decisions in a sandbox without ever knowing where Iâ€™m actually going, when Iâ€™m relaxing playing games I just wanna be told what to do and go do it.' whoa, but open-worlds are MORE relaxing, no pressure to do ANYTHING. EVER. Wander around aimlessly or towards that 'interesting looking thing over there'. Bliss. If anything feeling like you need to complete section a) before doing section b) etc. feels restrictive and sometimes you just want to mess around achieving nothing substantial, or at least not purposefully doing so. Hmm, just realised why these game speak to me. I'm a lazy procrastinating sod irl as well.
Demon of the Fall 02.27.23	I totally get why you'd feel the opposite, because linear progression doesn't give you the option, so there's literally no decision making progress. I just find that less relaxing, as I cannot choose to do something 'less intensive' if I so wish
someone 03.07.23	played old N64 games with a friend. really fun stuff turns out Dr. Mario scratches a very particular autistic itch that very few other games ever have
DocSportello 03.07.23	Wo long looks like the be here now of soulslikes js
CugnoBrasso 03.07.23	Finally playing Elden Ring. Late to the party, I know.
Storm In A Teacup 03.07.23	Walk Astray (live) by boysetsfire
kevbogz 03.07.23	glad this got bumped so i can gripe about andromeda. got to the krogan planet (?) and was so bored to tears by the story and having to grudge thru a 3rd desert planet that i hung it up for another time decided to re pickup ae: odyssey and it's p decent as i remember
budgie 03.07.23	found a 15 +3 enchant ormus then sold it for 320 fg so many trav hork runs but no ber
Wildcardbitchesss 03.08.23	yeah fuck it dude the more I think about andromeda just straight up sucks. The gameplay is itâ€™s only saving grace and even then itâ€™s not nearly good enough for me to put up with the drab open world planets, losing control of your squadmates and power wheel, and most of all, the absolute dogshit writing. Itâ€™s not just bad because it doesnâ€™t live up to the trilogy, itâ€™s just bad. I really hope they donâ€™t drop the ball on ME4
Sinternet 03.08.23	ehh to me andromeda was a 7/10 game that was a 3/10 mass effect game, but i'm also a sucker for any kind of lore/content so take that with a grain of salt I JUST WANNA KNOW WHO MURDERED JIEN GARSON DAMMIT
kevbogz 03.08.23	ill prolly pick it up in a year or so just to finish the story. doing the same with ae:o rn lol. idk if i'm just getting older or disenfranchised hard by gaming, but shit feels more like a chore than anything enjoyable. i need to play elden ring but i keep missing sales unfort and refuse to buy $60 games because i know there's a high possibility of me not finishing it
Wildcardbitchesss 03.08.23	no those games just suck. donâ€™t mean to sound like an ass but I hate the direction Assassins Creed went in. I loved 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations back in the day but anything past that ranges from decent to horrible imo. I didnâ€™t bother with Valhalla. Havenâ€™t played Elden Ring, and same Iâ€™m totally waiting for a sale. Donâ€™t really fuck with the Dark Souls games, but I love Sekiro and Bloodborne, and Iâ€™ve heard the Elden Ring is closer to the souls games but Iâ€™m still willing to give it a shot for the right price.
naughtcturnal 03.08.23	Finished Pokemon Violetâ€™s main storyline. It was okay.
zaruyache 03.08.23	bleak faith: forsaken comes out friday and I hope it doesn't suck.
Veldin 03.08.23	WO LONG
Demon of the Fall 03.08.23	I still haven't played Andromeda, don't know if I ever will. Love ME1 & 2. ME3 was disappointing. and yeah Assassin's Creed was great for a while, but I also lost interest. The last one I played was AC3. The Egypt one was appealing from an aesthetical point of view (is this Odyssey?) but it'd likely disappoint in reality.
PotsyTater 03.08.23	I got assassins creed origins a couple years ago on sale out of curiosity because I hadnâ€™t played one of those games since likeâ€¦. The first one and I love Egyptian shit. Anyways it sucked.
DavidYowi 03.08.23	Iâ€™ve been replaying The Evil Within b/c I never beat it but never has game enthralled me and pissed me off in the same measure. Often at the same time. Great atmosphere and set pieces but thereâ€™s a lot of cheap moments. When I booted it up i started on easy then about 4 hours in I started a new game on normal b/c I didnâ€™t feel like I was getting to the â€œheartâ€ of the game, so itâ€™s doing something right.
PotsyTater 03.08.23	I played both evil within games last year, I liked them
DavidYowi 03.08.23	Good to know. I played a little bit of The Evil Within 2 and was worried it sanded off the edges that I liked about The Evil Within 1. Am definitely gonna beat TEW2 after I beat 1
PotsyTater 03.08.23	1 is better imo but 2 is definitely worth playing still, very different experience
Wildcardbitchesss 03.08.23	I donâ€™t play a lot of horror games (as in Iâ€™m just picky as fuck when it comes to them), but The Evil Within 2 is way better than the first. I still donâ€™t love them, itâ€™s really got that Japanese corniness thing going on that a lot of those games do. Iâ€™m usually fine with movies and games being corny, but when Iâ€™m shitpants terrified one second because of a good boss fight with great character design, and then just rolling my eyes because of bad writing or some dumb story beat, it just makes the horror aspect less effective imo.
PotsyTater 03.08.23	Idk man for me the improved gameplay and well incorporated open world aspects in 2 come with the caveat that the aesthetic choices of 1 that made me like it are not as immersive. So I guess it just depends on what you liked about the series.
pjquinones747 03.08.23	Started yet another Elden Ring save. This time to fully commit to a Faith build and try to main spellcasting. Good run so far. Also finally picked up Super Mario Odyssey to give Mario games a try for the first time since SM64
Wildcardbitchesss 03.08.23	I can see that potsy. And maybe itâ€™s just the time that I played them (during the first covid shutdown), like the first one just felt so old. Playing the second one, like almost immediately, I was like this is so much better. But again, they werenâ€™t really my cup of tea. Just bored and had too much time on my hands. Now horror games I do love, Alien Isolation with the mother VR mod. That was fucking incredible.
DavidYowi 03.08.23	That sounds fucking terrifying. I still havenâ€™t played Alien Isolation, which is weird for me considering how much I love the Alien franchise, but would love to play it. Iâ€™m getting a gaming pc soon so maybe that will be one of the first games I play on it
DocSportello 03.08.23	replaying Control and Alan Wake
Wildcardbitchesss 03.08.23	It was and honestly the game holds up. When you do play it, thereâ€™s an early encounter with humans that had me put the game off for months. Fighting humans fucking sucks in that game, but itâ€™s few and far between. Itâ€™s mostly you vs the alien. And they absolutely nail the aesthetic. It looks like it was ripped straight out of the 80â€™s.
PotsyTater 03.08.23	@wildcard yeah I was forgiving of the â€œold game jankâ€ because the first game had a lot of pretty evident twin peaks influence and that appeals to me
BAT 03.08.23	Started resident evil 6 and so far, it's aight kinda pissed I'd avoided it because of the gamespot 4.5 review. Reviewer just ranted about qte's annd its mostly just a thing when your grabbed by zombies, which is a mechanic that's been in resident evil since the og. Been playing the ps4 vers and so far ran into a couple of random coop partners which is nice cause the ai partners some bullshit. If anyone's interested in co-oping the Chris/Alex? campaigns lemme know. I'm also thinking of going through the revelations games(xbone/steam)/re5(ps4/steam) if anyone's interested. Gonna grab rem4ke in a few weeks
ConcubinaryCode 03.09.23	I started the old lotr the third age on ps2 cuz I never got a chance to play it as a kid but loved the hack n slash ones. There's some cool ideas like getting to play as the monsters but it is a very bog standard rpg. Music is banger though. 5/10
Wildcardbitchesss 03.18.23	finished Horizon last night, the endgame was a breeze because I was over leveled. Started Dead Space remake about an hour ago on hard, and this game is making me realize how much of a pussy I am. This shit is so good.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.18.23	also the first game that Iâ€™ve just let the haptic feedback on the ps5 do itâ€™s thing. I turned it off on most games but Iâ€™m starting to like it with this.
budgie 03.18.23	anyone try d4 does it suck
DungeonBoy 03.18.23	Nope, don't really want to shell out $70 for a pre-order. I plan on playing it once the price drops a bit. That being said it looks pretty sweet. Glad they went back to the gothic horror look of D2.
DungeonBoy 03.18.23	I just started Tales of Arise this morning. So far I'm very impressed
BaselineOOO 03.18.23	I'm playing Wo Long... it sucks coooock!
DungeonBoy 03.18.23	That's a bummer. It's Asian soulslike right? I remember seeing a trailer and it looked decent. Why does it suck?
CugnoBrasso 03.18.23	I haven't played video games for years (three years maybe) and I just picked up Elden Ring last week. Funny how my Dark Souls muscle memory is still there.
zakalwe 03.18.23	Now onto Cyberpunk. 4hrs in and Iâ€™m impressed.
BaselineOOO 03.18.23	@DungeonBoy: It feels like an unfinished product compared to Nioh 2. Enemy AI is dumb and easily exploitable, difficulty is two steps lower, attack combos are missing, controls feel very clunky. It runs like ass on PC as well.
DungeonBoy 03.18.23	damn that sucks, Nioh was great, I figured it would be similar
zakalwe 03.18.23	On to Act 2 and Iâ€™m bloody impressed. Amazing tbh.
ConcubinaryCode 03.18.23	Playing atomic heart right now. Budget Russian bioshock is about right.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.19.23	you waited the perfect amount of time zak Game was straight up broken for a while
zakalwe 03.19.23	Glad Iâ€™ve waited. Gave it a wide berth at release due to the reported issues and Keanu. Knew it had been improved but knew absolutely nothing about the actual game itself or what it was about. The world, the story, the characters, the quests. Fucking incredible.
DungeonBoy 03.19.23	Everyone was so focused on how poorly the game ran, I never actually heard much about whether it was a good game or not.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.19.23	Yeah itâ€™s good, gonna wait for the expansion to come out and finally replay it
Pikazilla 03.19.23	tales of series are great
Hyperion1001 03.19.23	grim dawn
budgie 03.19.23	yo hyp arpg bro im doin last epoch a bit this weekend
kevbogz 03.19.23	ur momâ€™s choochie
Hyperion1001 03.19.23	im playin a necromancer so i get to summon skellingtons its amazing
budgie 03.19.23	was there necro in base game? last time i played grim dawn it was with the reign of terror or something mod which added a load of classes
Hyperion1001 03.19.23	yeah im running soldier necromancer which is death knight i think? bone guys and 2 handers
naughtcturnal 03.19.23	finally started SMT V after 190+ hours of Monster Hunter Sunbreak
Wildcardbitchesss 03.21.23	About half way through Dead Space and Iâ€™m taking a fucking break man. Either I was way less of a bitch when I played the original 15 years ago or EA and Motive really knocked it out of the fuckin park with this game. Itâ€™s way more intense than I remember. Playing the new(ish) Ratchet and Clank, Iâ€™d never played any of them before but Iâ€™m having a great time with this one so far.
budgie 03.21.23	d4 open beta is after this week. anyone gonna give it a try
DungeonBoy 03.21.23	I will eventually get D4, but i'm not paying $70 for a beta/pre-order personally. I'll wait for the price to drop
PitchforkArms 03.21.23	I've got my gf set up playing Hogwarts on my Steamdeck & PC so that she can play anywhere and psuedo-spend-time with me while I play other things on PC or XBOX. It's great and she loves it.
Demon of the Fall 03.21.23	'I just started Tales of Arise this morning. So far I'm very impressed' I dig the 'Tales of' series, haven't played this one yet though. Nice.
kevbogz 03.21.23	jedi fallen order on sale for $4 iâ€™d be stupid to not get it right?
Wildcardbitchesss 03.21.23	Totally worth it
Shemson 03.21.23	Half way through a second Elden Ring playthrough, just seen Iâ€™ve put 150 hours into this characterâ€¦ holy crap
Wildcardbitchesss 03.22.23	Is there a new game plus or are you saying youâ€™re half way through and itâ€™s been 150 hours on this new run? Because if itâ€™s the latter, holy shit that game is huge.
PunkerBlast 03.22.23	Demon of the Fall. I am not a Tales of savant heh, but Tales of Berseria rules! I've not tried Arise. I've been playing Ender Lillies. Got it during the spring sale. So far it's a solid dark fantasy style not too punishing metroidvania. There is a limited heal and my deaths have been my fault and not cheap bullshit.
zaruyache 03.22.23	never done a roguelike before but I'm trying Returnal now. shooty shooty laser beams
PunkerBlast 03.22.23	Returnal was that PS5 exclusive that is on the PC now. I watched a PC review of that. It was more different than I thought it was hah.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.22.23	games badass honestly. Donâ€™t sleep on the co op if you got a buddy that has it
PunkerBlast 03.22.23	I could probably find some ppl online I know even some peeps, but my desktop comp is fucking dead finally and my laptop is decent/good but I am not trying Returnal on it. Switched to some Steins;Gate now. Even if ut's the silly one, it's the only I haven't tried besides Elite. In a pretty good mood actually.
Shemson 03.22.23	NG+ Wildcard but the game is absolutely huge My first playthrough was just over 100 hours and this playthrough Iâ€™ve already found a whole questline taking me to a whole new area and shardbearer boss fight I missed the first time round
SIMBOLIC 03.22.23	Iâ€™m doing my first oblivion play throughðŸ˜‚
Shemson 03.22.23	Oblivion was an unbelievable achievement at the time but itâ€™s a bit dated now, especially the combat system which gets boring very quickly Still some great immersive storylines and quests though, if you can get over repetitive boring combat youâ€™ll have a lot of fun!
Demon of the Fall 03.22.23	'Demon of the Fall. I am not a Tales of savant heh, but Tales of Berseria rules!' it certainly does. I've only played that one, Zestiria and parts of Vesperia and Berseria is the one that makes me hope they have another great game in them. I've put a lot of hours into it, did NG+ and explored everything I could. The combat system can be somewhat repetitive but honestly that suited me and you can always mix it up by using a different player-controlled character.
Demon of the Fall 03.22.23	I've attempted playing Oblivion twice. The first time was pre-Skyrim (just) as I wanted to try it before the new ES dropped and it felt dated then. Playing it post-Skyrim was actually better (weirdly), even though it had dated further due to playing the next iteration in the series first. By then I'd also accepted that it was going to look / play like shit and I was in it for the lore and exploration. Already having an investment in the series helped massively. I didn't ever finish it mind.
Sinternet 03.22.23	almost finished my rerun of all of nv with dlcs having just started dead money again (worst dlc so left it last but its fine) - save file is now at 130 hours and ive been max level now since 80 hours about, which kinda gets repetitive unfortunately and meant i've been putting it off
Demon of the Fall 03.22.23	playing Far Harbour expansion for Fallout 4 like the plebeian casual I truly am It was suitably atmospheric for a late evening beer + music combo and honestly, that's all I wanted it for. The environment / aesthetic is more appealing than the main game.
Demon of the Fall 03.22.23	what sort of build did you do Sint?
Parallels 03.22.23	Untitled Goose Game i untied a kids shoelaces and he tripped, then i took his toy plane and put it in the shop and made the kid have to buy it back from the store. then i stole the gardener's tools and made that guy have to buy his shit back as well. then i stole from the store and dropped it in the back of a garage, and when the shop owner went to retrieve it, I closed the door on them and trapped them inside. 10/10
Wildcardbitchesss 03.22.23	Iâ€™ve tried to get into New Vegas because I hear the storyline is so good but the gameplay just feels dated as hell at this point. Even with mods I only made it like maybe 10 hours into it. Iâ€™ll have to try it again some time.
PitchforkArms 03.22.23	@Demon I'm definitely sput's resident Fallout stan... FH is a great addition to FO4! Honestly it is (to me) required viewing if FO4 is on the table. Nuka World has some fun locations and ambiance but the core mechanic is very bleh. I tend to like any and all, though, because I get so much enjoyment from the locational lore, exploration, atmosphere, etc. @sin The internet fucking lloovveess Dead Money and I think that it is partially interested but entirely too tedious for the intrigue to matter much... Absolutely adore Big MT and the other two are quite fun as well. @wildcard yeah the gameplay was dated when it originally came out LOL still love those games, though.
Demon of the Fall 03.22.23	yeah, I've shamelessly dumped 400 hours into Fallout 4, yet never touched Far Harbour before. Pleased that I saved it for now in a way though. I'd still say F4 doesn't compare to F3 or FNV, but in reality 3 is actually quite barren from a content perspective. That game is 100% a nostalgia-fuelled engrossing atmospheric setting / world with shoddy gameplay, lol. Technically F4 is much better in that regard and has an absolute ton of (genuine) content, yet loses a lot of points for being more of a shooter than an RPG (no stat points?!) What I'd give for a proper up-down remake of FNV, that game runs like crap but the factions / decision-making / consequences aspect of that one elevates it over the others in many ways.
PitchforkArms 03.22.23	Absolutely - on all points. My friend and I were actually talking about it, and there is a amount of dollars that I would pay for NV in a better engine and I shamelessly admit that the amount is very very close to 4-figures...
Demon of the Fall 03.22.23	my figure depends on 'would the wife know?' but yeah, think I agree, haha
gschwen 03.22.23	I only ever have time for pick up-put down iOS games because of the baby so I'm putting in here for Retro Bowl, the gridiron football game/sim because it's addictive as hell. Probably the best iOS football game on the market. I think it's free.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.22.23	Havenâ€™t really played IOS games since I had my school issued iPad back in high school. I blame the Infinity Blade games for my shit grades lol. I played those games so fucking much, then and super hexagon, that game is more addictive than crack
Wildcardbitchesss 03.22.23	Oh and Plague Inc. shit now Iâ€™m thinking of all the dumb games I bought and played during class instead of learning lol
nol 03.22.23	Playing Lego Star Wars skywalker saga because I am a fucking gangster
Wildcardbitchesss 03.22.23	that actually sounds like a good ass time
Dewinged 03.22.23	I hope you all mfs play Resident Evil 4 Remake tomorrow. Been working on that thing for almost 3 years and can't wait to read everyone's thoughts and feels.
nol 03.22.23	Dude my high school issued iPadâ€™s as well and the Plague Inc. craze hit hard. I remember the boyz huddling around a single iPad in study hall to take turnsâ€¦ mems. Then there was the flappy bird epidemic, and the time someone figured out an easy way to get gba emulators working on the school iPads and EVERYONE was playing PokÃ©mon fire red or leaf green. Like you couldnâ€™t use the urinal because someone was just camping out skipping class and playing pocket monsters with dicks out
Demon of the Fall 03.23.23	whoa, sounds insane, bound to happen I suppose if you're going to issue iPads etc. haha. There wasn't really much you could do on those old bricks or flip phones, bit of snake and the likes etc. was about it. Sounds like a nightmare for schools now, bet all the kids are on their phones in class. closest we ever got to that sort of thing was when we installed Unreal Tournament on the desktops in 6th form (that's 17/18 yo, which isn't 'compulsory' in the U.K) and I think that was actually allowed, because we had 'down-time' and were given certain privileges by that point.
DungeonBoy 03.23.23	Dewi, can you remind us of your involvement in RE? Do you think it needed a remake? I grew up when RE1 was first released, and I get the quality of life improvements for the RE, RE2, and RE3, remakes to get rid of tank controls and opt for the over the shoulder aspect of.. RE4.. but idk how I feel about there being a remake of it. Like i'm stoked to check it out, but did it really need one in the same way the previous 3 did? Curious what your thoughts are
nol 03.23.23	â€œSounds like a nightmare for schools nowâ€ You arenâ€™t wrong, I spent 75% of my sophomore thru senior year playing shitty iPad games, and most of the rest of the time eating snaks plus they forcefeed all the Apple branded apps like pages and keynote which are all objectively worse than the Microsoft office suite.
budgie 03.23.23	"Iâ€™m doing my first oblivion play throughðŸ˜‚" check out the Tamriel Immersion Experience (T.I.E.) mod
climactic 03.23.23	replaying last of us after finishing the show. havent played since the original came out. still rules
Parallels 03.24.23	so stoked for RE4 remake Dewi, can you remind us of your involvement in RE? [2]
BAT 03.24.23	re4 remakes pretttty good so far just beat the lake boss. only small gripe i have atm is knifes are pretty easy to break buut guessing there will be a stronger one at some point.
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	Battlechasers some indie rpg I decided to try which was based off a early 2000 comic I never heard of. Oblivion is a lot of fun. It can feel very samey looking but on the PC with some mods you can spruce the locales up and the actual guilds are great. I always play these games first on console for some reason and that was my first experience of Oblivion. Why does Skyrim have to have some nicer more varied locations but then almost all the guilds except for the Dark Brotherhood (I heard that was cool) seem like ass and so short.
pizzamachine 03.29.23	I play Oblivion for the jumping.
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	I actually installed a mod on the PC where you can have the NPCs not be shoved in your face in all their buttery glory, even with improved faces. Why did they think yeah our face models are so good we want you to see just that and a little neck. Oblivion is fun how you can just do these little things to increase your stats to no end without any effort, like sneaking. I forget it might cap your leveling but it won't cap your skill gain. Oh yeah because as you level the shit around you level so that's why you could find dirty bandits wearing expensive armor. Morrowind was the best haha Also I have played a little Skyrim Dark Brotherhood I just never got far in it.
MFPENCIL 03.29.23	I justttt beat South Park: The Stick of Truth. It was... amusing and a competent RPG, even though the games gets a lot easier once you get Kyle to join you with his barrage of arrow attacks. about to start Signalis next
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	I really need to try those South Park games. I like the show enough and I love rpgs, i don't know why I never them. The Fractured But Whole seemed even better.
Ecnalzen 03.29.23	I haven't actively watched the show in a while, and I still had a great time with Stick of Truth
MFPENCIL 03.29.23	Yeah the south park games go on sale pretty often too, more games need quick time events where you have to avoid getting slapped by your fathers balls
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	See I am not easily offended but some of the lewdness may get to me. I heard all about the creation suite in ...... BUT WHOLE and I was like wow that's still very offensive in an era where a team and name so innocuous as the Indians major baseball league team in USA changed their name. The Guardians is bit generic too but tbf that's rad, I loved to guard people once. Guardin.
RosaParks 03.29.23	Solo Russian roulette
Deathconscious 03.29.23	Everything including the ones on the back burner that i have yet to finish: Dragon Quest XI, Xenoblade Chronicles DE, Metroid Fusion, No Man's Sky, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Dead Space 3 (after finishing the first two), Call of Duty 2 (yes, the 2005 one), Lost Odyssey, Oblivion, Earthbound.
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	Let me dump names in my deathc. I should try Dragon Quest XI S someday. I am really interested in Lost Odyssey but that is a straight up Xbox 360 only. Kinda like how Rockstar is like yea I like we lost the code for RDR1. I have that for my PS3. Earthbound I think like Final Fantasy 4 I am worn out on, but great games.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.29.23	Dead Space 3 is fine, it got a ton of hate but itâ€™s not a bad game at all. Playing it co op was a ton of fun back in the day. Having said that, the original has better scares and the 2nd has better action. Again, still a good time but the first two are some of the greatest games ever made. And the remake is fucking incredible. There was one part I got stuck on because the objectives list was kind of shit. I was wandering around like a dipshit because my objective marker was turning me in circles. Only time I caved and looked up how to get through it. Playing Ghost of Tsushima now on PS5. Only a couple of hours in but itâ€™s some good shit. Kinda feels like Sekiro lite even on hard but I donâ€™t wanna play something thatâ€™s going to kick my ass all of the time. Next up is gonna be the Miles Morales Spiderman. Then Iâ€™ll probably spend a month playing Horizon Forbidden West, Iâ€™m trying to time it so I can start that game as the DLC comes out. Mostly because the DLC in Zero Dawn was definitely the best part of the game.
Deathconscious 03.29.23	@punker did you play the first edition of DQXI? I ended up going with the original because the graphics took a hit on the S version. Lost Odyssey has awesome turn based combat, but unfortunately the characters and writing are mediocre imo. @wildcard i loved the first two, but I can see why DS3 is the black sheep, it definitely feels like a downgrade. Not far enough to make a real judgement though.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.29.23	The main villain kind of sucks, and the love triangle shit between Isaac, Ellie, and whatshisname is kind of stupid. Aside from that tho, the story is good. Gameplay is great. Itâ€™s just more of an action game than a horror game.
JayEnder 03.29.23	@Wildcard Ghost of Tsushima is sweet. Easy platinum too.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.29.23	Yeah Iâ€™m having a really good time with it so far. I tried the Japanese with English subtitles but itâ€™s so different from movies. I always choose the original over some shitty English dub but itâ€™s too much to focus on not dying while reading the subtitles. I had to switch back to English before I even got finished with the tutorial part.
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	Easiest Platinums on PS4. 13:Sentinels: Aegis Rim. You can do this on a straight run blind on normal though one of those fights to get an S is trickier and a jerk but there is literally one fight that is tough. Steins;Gate 0 is easy too. I played these on PC and I was like wtf I need this. So there was a call you can just turn down, so since I save a lot it took me fiver for that. It was a very particular call. But I don't take care about total completion usually.
Deathconscious 03.29.23	"love triangle shit between Isaac, Ellie, and whatshisname is kind of stupid." Yeah, im sensing cringe already.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.29.23	It only gets worse brother. Issac, Ellie, and Carver are really the only interesting characters in the game. And be sure to cop the DLC, I think itâ€™s called Awakened. Itâ€™s honestly the best part of the game imo
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	Bizarre love Triangle!!!!! New Order
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T99Jvkn9LEg I like this one, also I typed in piss off.
Storm In A Teacup 03.29.23	I'm playing clean organized and find more stuff for one more garage sale.
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	One more sumner song to ohhh. I will never lead you wrong. It's got the Hook bass...but yea now I am am just burning out.
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	Ok a true new order live song for the rest of us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_QbBGo1PNQ
PunkerBlast 03.29.23	Mr Disco!!
Sinternet 03.29.23	"what sort of build did you do Sint?" started off doing stealth build, has kinda evolved into energy weapons now. once you get to the level 50 cap you can basically max every skill but two anyway. far harbor is a lot of fun and goes a little way to suggesting bethesda could make an actually great fallout game if they wanted/cared "@sin The internet fucking lloovveess Dead Money and I think that it is partially interested but entirely too tedious for the intrigue to matter much... Absolutely adore Big MT and the other two are quite fun as well." i've seen very divisive discussions about it, but i still think it's good fun. the collar mechanicas get very annoying past a certain point though and basically forces you to quicksave every two minutes. the ghosts aren't particularly fun to fight either, especially the spear ones who headshot you and wipe a third of your hp far too regularly for a dlc which strips all your items and has a mass scarcity of healing pickups. but i do like the companions a lot. old world blues would be my favourite but the fucking roboscorpions are annoying as shit and are way too strong. lonesome road is probs my fave, not only does it tie together all the little lore from the other dlcs and the main game, but it's the closest fallout has ever got to an action horror and it suits that aesthetic so well.
Flugmorph 03.29.23	playing elden ring again because after 150h mostly shortly after the game released last year i still haven't completed my 100% map exploration run
pjquinones747 03.29.23	bloodborne anyone? finally got the hang of this one and it's been sick.
Deathconscious 03.29.23	Yep, im actually on the last boss. Amazing game.
pjquinones747 03.29.23	i am currently trying to figure out where im supposed to go after witch of hemwick without using a guide lol
deathofasalesman 03.29.23	i'm playing the new Resident Evil 4 remake and it's phenomenal. unlike a lot of people i'm playing it very slowly, exploring all the little details. i wanna get my 60 bucks worth and not just blast right through. the knife parrying takes it to a whole new level. being able to block the axes that constantly get thrown at you feels awesome every time
Wildcardbitchesss 04.03.23	lol I remember playing the original on the wii when I was like 10 and getting decapitated by the chainsaw man scared the living shit out of me. Begged my dad to take me back to GameStop so I could return it. Really been fucking with Ghost of Tsushima. This is literally what the assassins creed series should be. Better swordplay, better stealth, better story, RPG elements that donâ€™t force you to grind the game like itâ€™s a full time job. And aside from some character models the game is drop dead gorgeous. Im glad I waited to play it on PS5, the wait was well worth it
Wildcardbitchesss 04.03.23	tho I am sad that it seems like the Infamous series is dead I liked the first two and Second Son was the first game I played when I got the PS4 10(!) years ago. And that First Light DLC was incredible. I probably put hundreds of hours into those challenge rooms. And thatâ€™s not even mentioning that Laura Bailey is one of the best voice actors working rn.
Drbebop 04.03.23	I am currently playing Ys 1. My third run through of the game, this one is the Sega Saturn port in the Falcom Classics collection. Shame the translation is as weirdly formatted as it is but itâ€™s a beta so you have to make do. Anyway, excellent classic action rpg. I recommend everyone check out this series thatâ€™s still going strong to this day
zakalwe 04.03.23	I finished Cyberpunk yesterday. Driving off into the storm clouds with Panam. Absolutely incredible game, possibly the greatest of all time.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.03.23	got the same ending. Also might legitimately be Keanuâ€™s best performance out of everything heâ€™s been in
zakalwe 04.03.23	Iâ€™d have to agree there.
someone 04.10.23	getting crazy into sudoku
Slex 04.10.23	Replaying Xenoblade Chronicles 3 because it's one of the best RPGs ever made, also playing Pokemon Violet, Super Mario Odyssey, and my friend bought the Switch online expansion pack so also Majora's Mask and Metroid Fusion. I always hop between a lot of stuff lol
RosaParks 04.10.23	"getting crazy into sudoku" me after i got sent to the psych hospital when i tried to kill myself in high school
pjquinones747 04.10.23	instant goated comment
RosaParks 04.10.23	thanks ily
frozencarl 04.10.23	just finished Uncharted 4, really enjoyed the cinematic gameplay experience without all the talent trees and whatnot you'd find in, say, Tomb Raider (not a dig at TR at all, just wanted a brain shut off kinda game). this was my first foray into the Uncharted series so I obviously missed out on all the callbacks, but I think I'm going to pickup the Nathan Drake collection and just play 1-3. hopefully they're not tooooo dated in comparison lol
MillionDead 04.10.23	@zak, I was honestly one of those people that was wildly disappointed in Cyberpunk, and I sunk 80 hrs into it. Was seeing the mixed reviews but I had been waiting since it was announced, so I had to see it through. Too many missing features and empty promises around it, in addition to the myriad glitches, shallow open world, etc. Mike Pondsmith's lore is incredible, and the writing is fantastic at points but it was also inconsistent with spotty pacing. I feel like the main narrative was too much of the Johnny Silverhand show sometimes and wished for a greater emphasis on V's journey and character development. Actually wouldn't have minded less Keanu, you could tell they changed a lot of things specifically for his inclusion. The first third definitely could have benefited from way more Jackie. Definitely one the best looking games to come out though from a graphics and art design perspective. Last thing I really got into was Yakuza 6: Song of Life. I love the Yakuza franchise so damn much. Even when it's antiquated or flawed, it just bleeds charm. Yakuza 0 made me fucking cry. I can't even remember when another videogame has done that.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.10.23	good luck carl. 4 makes 1-3 feel fucking ancient
DavidYowi 04.10.23	1 has aged like shit. 2 and 3 are fine but never too big on them. 4 is the only one that really clicked with me
PotsyTater 04.10.23	Damn cyberpunk is actually supposed to be good now?
Storm In A Teacup 04.10.23	Oblivion. Magic and bow assassin.
TheTripP 04.10.23	RE4 Remake, on my second run and missed one treasure so far that drove me insane. Always playing RL, I am Champ 1 Div 4 on Duo's so I want to get that Champ 2, little bit of OW to sprinkle in. I do miss Oblivion though...
ToSmokMuzyki 04.10.23	still with my wiener
ConcubinaryCode 04.10.23	I missed exactly one treasure from each area too trip. I missed a key in the village, the treasure in the Mines, and the first treasure on the island. I was pissed I had to buy the maps again too, cuz I didn't try to memorize where everything was the first time. Mercenaries is really good too
BaselineOOO 04.11.23	Sims 4 - 6/10 - It's Sims 2 but less intuitive and not as charming. Still somewhat enjoyable. Heroes of Might and Magic III (with the HD mod) - 10/10 - I pity the people who haven't played the greatest game of all time. I play this game once every 6 months extensively just so I can keep my senses sharp. The Last of Us Part 1 - 5/10 - Boring af. A24-core. Indie nonsense. Absolutely cringe till the very end. Even the gameplay is flat. Automobilista 2 - 9/10 - I installed this simulator to practice my driving. It's mindblowingly great. I'm planning to replay the two modern Doom games. My current opinion is that Doom 2016 is vastly superior to Doom Eternal. Also started playing Thief II: The Metal Age but it seems like it's a very nerdy game and I do not really like it yet.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.11.23	Does A24 core generally just mean just well made and well acted Itâ€™s story is as basic as they come, itâ€™s just well made. And indie nonsense? Itâ€™s a AAA high budget developed by one of the biggest names in the industry and published by Sony.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.11.23	And doom eternal shits on doom 2016
JayEnder 04.11.23	Just got the platinum for Resident Evil 2 Remake. What a fucking masterpiece. Easily my fav RE game next to the og RE4. Very excited to play the RE4 Remake when it goes on sale
Storm In A Teacup 04.11.23	The first stage of my new Oblivion playthrough is probably almost done. Im on the 6th drop mission from Lucienne LeChance and once i have fully completed the dark bbrotherhoo arc i will be a free person to discover what the rest of oblivion has to offer.
Archelirion 04.11.23	Recently back into Out of the Park Baseball. Let's me go from bad spreadsheet at work, to good spreadsheet at home. My team sucks but that's the charm
CugnoBrasso 04.11.23	Astel Naturalborn of the Void my ass, the Void should have had an abortion
PunkerBlast 04.13.23	Ha Archellirion's post is awesome. Kinda surprised ya can deal with spreadsheets at work and at home but at least the ones at home are the good more fun ones. I am just hopping between so many different games but I've almost completed Tokyo Xanadu Ex+. Including the epilogue, true ending and the after story/party heh. Quite a good action rpg. I really enjoyed it. Despite some early frustration.
PotsyTater 04.26.23	Play RE8 right now and my god the basement baby is terrifying
DungeonBoy 04.26.23	lol basement baby is pure horror
PotsyTater 04.26.23	Definitely one of the scariest moments in any of the resident evil games Iâ€™ve played. My god, he was easy enough to evade once I knew thatâ€™s what I was supposed to do but when he first came I ran back to the well door and got cornered and had to watch him vore me and I am traumatized
Parallels 04.27.23	Agreed that thing was nightmare material perfected I remember sweating that the baby would see my legs sticking out from under the bed. And then you just sit there waiting, unsure of when hes gonna come back
DocSportello 04.27.23	about 14 hours into a rimworld colony. i like management sims now apparently
MillionDead 04.27.23	Currently playing the last 3rd of A Plague Tale Requiem
Deathconscious 04.27.23	Finally on the last stretch of The Witcher III. I don't want it to end.
PotsyTater 04.27.23	Lmao I didnâ€™t even know you could go under the bed, I just hid in the lockers. The whole runs of puzzling and surviving in that, re2 remake, and re7 is like everything I look for in a horror game. I donâ€™t need lots of action, i just need atmosphere and doing puzzles while pissing my pants
PotsyTater 04.27.23	How is plague tale requiem !?? I thought the first plague tale was a MASTERPIECE
ConcubinaryCode 04.27.23	Ff1-6 came out on ps4 finally and I just started ff6. I'll wait for the others to go on discount before I pick them up.
PitchforkArms 04.27.23	The boyz and I have been playing R6S lately. What an autistic game...
DocSportello 04.27.23	didn't know u were supposed to hide lol . . . i baited the baby into big room ran in a circle around table and down the hall (it v slow)
MillionDead 04.27.23	@Pots: The story is damn near sadistic in how utterly dismal it is, but it fits the tone they've always went for. Like, it's a great story and you feel invested in what happens, but it's also sad as shit basically the entire time. There were a few moments where Amecia felt a tad self righteous as a protag given her actions but I feel like the game is aware of that. Gameplay wise, I feel as though it mostly improves on what came before. The game wants to act like sneaking around guards is equally viable, but I feel like the actual structure really incentivizes you to just kill mfs so you can move/loot freely. The crossbow and knives are a cool addition. The crossbow feels really powerful, especially toward the end. Knives are kind of meh because they're 1 use for kills and also for opening specific locked workbenches. Seeing as the benches felt more important and the knives are really rare anyway, I probably killed less than 5 enemies with knives the whole playthrough. Can't remember exactly how much the checkpoints sucked in Innocence but they're kinda spotty in the sequel also. Couple of moments where I had a stupid death and got sent back kind of far and it annoyed me. Nothing awful though. Probably a 7/10 for me, similar to the first game.
PotsyTater 04.27.23	@doc yeah I had to do that in two separate occasions as well, once when I panicked thinking the elevator wouldnâ€™t open fast enough and ran into the study, and another time to get to the elevator to begin with around the save room table Thanks for the breakdown million
zaruyache 04.28.23	can't wait for jedi survivoror to drop and then not work right on PC tmrw!!! :D
Wildcardbitchesss 04.28.23	yeah I legit took a little nap after work today just so I could stay up a little later and get a few hours of this game in but it looks like itâ€™s not even running well on consoles. Oh well, I got a few other games I can play in the meantime that I havenâ€™t gotten to yet.
twlight 04.28.23	literally just finished Dead Space remake. Never played the og so i was really impressed. i'd give it a solid 8, some boss fights are annoying, and the enviornments are very samey. combat is a blast tho.. innovative and enjoyable blasting demonic alien-human hybrids apart
twlight 04.28.23	Plague Tale 1 was a masterpiece indeed. got about an hour into part 2 and stopped, just didnt like it. more of the same imo
twlight 04.28.23	"Damn cyberpunk is actually supposed to be good now?" cyberpunk is 100% worth a play through now. if you have a high end PC, they are about to drop an insane new ray tracing graphics mode. if you have ps5 or seriesX it is in a great state as well
Wildcardbitchesss 04.28.23	Plague Tale one was cool, until that fucking terrible final boss fight
twlight 04.28.23	yeah that was lame, i just beat dead space and the final boss was lame too fromsoft knows how to do bosses
PotsyTater 04.28.23	I have seen that the general consensus online was that the final boss fight was a sore spot for the game but I liked rat pillar man, I donâ€™t know what else it could have been really.
twlight 04.28.23	lol that's funny Aparently, (spoiler alert for any EVIL DEAD fans that have not seen the new film.) at the end of the movie there is a boss battle/rat king (lou2) encounter
Wildcardbitchesss 04.28.23	yup, itâ€™s great idea, but it just looks kind of awkward. I thought the movie was pretty much perfect aside from that
twlight 04.28.23	well i'll watch it later im playing hogwarts legacy, it's fun and well crafted but after about 10 hrs....
Wildcardbitchesss 04.28.23	And I donâ€™t mind the final boss fight in Dead Space Remake. That twist beforehand is executed so much more perfectly than the original that I was kinda blindsided by that the whole time. And giving Isaac a voice and personality was a stroke of genius.
twlight 04.28.23	there has to be a part two right? i really didnt feel any chemistry between isaac and his hologrm/real/video tape wife life wtf, that was bad writting. the bosses were clishe as fuck i wish they touched more on a demonic energy that a mining company randomly stumbled across. and the scientists, engineers and civilians trying to survive. that was a good idea then it turned into some religious thing? and they had to take the Marker back why? so the big monster doesn't emerge and you have to fight him?
Wildcardbitchesss 04.28.23	Yeah I hope they remake part 2, it really does flesh out a lot of the batshit things that happen in the first game. If not you can go back and play it for yourself. Iâ€™d like a Dead Space 2 remake but the first one was really the only one that felt like it really needed it. Dead Space 2 still holds up really well imo
PotsyTater 04.28.23	I enjoyed original dead space but donâ€™t remember much at all
pizzamachine 04.28.23	Something something creepy aliens
pjquinones747 04.28.23	just picked up elden ring on pc so i can do mods but am apparently too computer illiterate to figure out how to get it to properly work even after following the instructions exactly
PitchforkArms 04.28.23	PC gaming is such a pain in the dick sometimes. There is definitely something clean and inoffensive about booting up a console and being able to play stuffs with no extra efforts (obviously the tradeoffs are present, but man oh man I sometimes can't motivate myself to tinker with my PC in order to properly run a game and then have to tinker back to play something else...)
pjquinones747 04.28.23	i also partially got it to co op with a friend so thats a benefit but IF I COULD FIGURE OUT MODS WE COULD SEAMLESS CO OP but nooooooooooooo
PitchforkArms 04.28.23	LOL never never! You are not allowed to have a totally reasonable and seemingly easy to accomplish desire!!!!!!!!
BAT 04.28.23	weeeeelp i finally bought deadspace, and a 3060ti. it's workin :) .probably gonna upgrade the cpu/ram next year or so once it hits a decade old but so far i'm back i nthe clear. whats some older games that run well at 4k
zaruyache 04.29.23	elden ring ran at 60fps day one even with those frame drops, this jedi game sits at 50 and goes lower in cutscenes lmao this rocks
frozencarl 05.04.23	local shop finally had a used copy of Ghost of Tsushima so i started playing that shit last night and got DANG does it look pretty. played about the first hour or so right up to where it gives you access to the open world and it really feels like a Far Cry game. super excited to play through it
ffs 05.04.23	i was going to beat blasphemous again to get hyped for the new one coming out but decided to play hollow knight again for now instead. extremely fun blasting through much faster this second time but nothing beats the wonder of exploring everything first time round tbh
frozencarl 05.04.23	I havent bought a game day 1 since like Far Cry 4 but I think ima cop Blasphemous 2 the second it drops. so hype for that
PotsyTater 05.04.23	Didnâ€™t know they were making a blasphemous sequel, thatâ€™s cool. Iâ€™m playing Nioh 2 rn. Itâ€™s fun but I will probably permanently drop it once new Zelda comes out because there is not enough to separate it from the first Nioh. Itâ€™s hard to tell Iâ€™m even playing a different game.
Mort. 05.04.23	tryna 112% hollow knight after leaving it at like 108% 3 years ago nightmare grimm is fucking me up as are the last 2 pantheons
PotsyTater 05.07.23	So Iâ€™m playing Last of Us 2 cuz I want to finish it before season 2 of the show and I know new Zelda and Elden Ring dlc means I wonâ€™t be playing any other games for like a year and honestly Itâ€™s much worse than the first one. Joel dying is fine, no problem with that being the main catalyst for the events of the game, but holy fuck every single new character is insufferable and designed so fugly. Jesse is a fucking piece of cardboard. I didnâ€™t think they could make Dina any less interesting and then they made her pregnant. And then they were like â€œhavenâ€™t had enough pregnant? Here is the mopiest goblin turd of a character youâ€™ve ever seen and literally all she will ever talk about is being pregnant and you have to travel with herâ€. Abbeys entire personality is that she likes coins and doesnâ€™t like heights but Iâ€™m supposed to Stan because they had the ~bravery~ to have a butch female main character who can bare knuckle brawl zombies (which I do, in fact, stan but i resent the pandering). So much finger wagging for my actions as Ellie but I donâ€™t actually give a fuck about a single person Iâ€™ve killed so far. And making one of them preggers isnâ€™t going to tug my heart strings, sorry. Kid was gonna have a TERRIBLE life. Now I have to play as Abby and I looked up online that thereâ€™s about 10 hours of that before I can go back to Ellie and presumably bash Abbyâ€™s skull in finally and then be made to feel guilty about it (I wonâ€™t) Which would be fine if the game play loop wasnâ€™t so terrible outdated. But Iâ€™m just not having fun running around putting shit in my pockets, running into locked gates and having to crawl around a building to get to the next locked get while endlessly being funneled through tedium towards the next cutscene. Itâ€™s just not fun anymore. Kind of a shit game I might stop and just watch the rest of the cutscenes on YouTube.
Demon of the Fall 05.07.23	never played TLOU2, felt like I was missing out because TLOU1 was enjoyable and 2 is heralded generally ðŸ¤”
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Iâ€™ll withhold final judgement to the end but so far I think itâ€™s vastly worse than the first one
PotsyTater 05.07.23	rEvEnGe BaD
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	2 is far and away better imo, and I loved the first one.
PotsyTater 05.07.23	rEvEnGe BaD pReGnAnT gOoD
PotsyTater 05.07.23	eLlIe BaD aBbY sTrOnG
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	^most sane gamer
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Lol
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	Srs tho, I felt the same when I first started playing as Abby. â€œFuck this, I just want her dead.â€, but some point probably about half way through playing as her I started to like her. And kinda wanted them both to just stop fighting. you can summarize is and call it â€œrevenge badâ€, but I think itâ€™s much deeper than that and with a little more context you get near the end of the game you might agree. But if you hate the gameplay loop idk what to tell you. Itâ€™s literally just the first game but better in every single way. Probably the best stealth action in game in the last few years honestly.
PotsyTater 05.07.23	What is better about the gameplay loop? Itâ€™s virtually identical. Thereâ€™s a silencer nowâ€¦
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Thereâ€™s no world where the stealth gameplay is anything beyond surface level for even a last gen game let alone current gen
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	â€¦ way more weapons, more open environments to tackle situations how you want, AI thatâ€™s much smarter than most anything Iâ€™ve ever played, encounters where you can get infected and other factions to fight each other instead of taking them head on. You can really carve your own way through most encounters despite the game being pretty linear. Yeah, I got no problem saying itâ€™s one of the best stealth games ever.
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	Ellie and Abby also just feel much better to play as than Joel. The added dodge button, going prone etc. It controls way better than the first game.
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	Also, I think youâ€™re implying that the message of the game is shallow. With all the â€œrevenge badâ€ stuff. How is the first game any different? If you really want to just summarize it that lazily, the first game is just a basic escort mission. Itâ€™s about the execution, incredible performances, quality writing and dialogue.
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Thereâ€™s like two more weapons so far Donâ€™t see anything next level about the AI or the mere ability for other parties to fight each other and I canâ€™t say any of this feels any different than any other recent game with stealth mechanics that Iâ€™ve played. It barely feels like a jump from a ps3 to ps4 game. I remember people saying ghost of Tsushimaâ€™s stealth mechanics were rudimentary for a late lifecycle ps4 game and that games stealth mechanics felt WAYYYYYYYYYYY better than this
PotsyTater 05.07.23	â€œ Also, I think youâ€™re implying that the message of the game is shallow. With all the â€œrevenge badâ€ stuff. How is the first game any different? If you really want to just summarize it that lazily, the first game is just a basic escort mission. Itâ€™s about the execution, incredible performances, quality writing and dialogue.â€ Bruh I havenâ€™t even finished the game yet Iâ€™m just talking shit from my limited perspective thus far. But nothing in this one has struck a chord the way Henry and samâ€™s arch did. Or even bills arch or whatâ€™s her face sacrificing herself. Or the segment of Joel nearly dying and Ellie having to figure it out on her own. Let alone the fantastic ending. Credit where it is due, I felt things when Joel was killed, as I said, I think that was good writing and I think the fact that it was controversial is some next level smooth brained shit - like they wanted walking dead instead of last of us. Iâ€™m eager to see how this all wraps up and what the game wants to say hence why Iâ€™d still watch the rest of the cut scenes even if I stopped playing. But the gravity of the story telling so far is undermined by the fact that all of the characters suck except Ellie, Abby, and Tommy. And I donâ€™t even know why I like Abby yet, I really donâ€™t have a reason to.
PotsyTater 05.07.23	And to be Frank, so far the writing doesnâ€™t deserve a less lazy summary I hope it earns one
PotsyTater 05.07.23	You said so yourself that I havenâ€™t really reached enough context yet
Koris 05.07.23	Currently revisiting the original Naughty Dog-era Crash games. They still hold up for the most part, although getting 105% completion in Warped is way harder than I remember it being. Those gold/platinum relics are an absolute bastard
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Anyways youâ€™ve convinced me to keep trooping through so u canâ€™t be too mad at me
Mort. 05.07.23	i really didnt think the game was shoving a whole 'revenge is bad' idea down your throat tbh. thought the story was just sorta mediocre and forgettable, never found the themes of the first particularly compelling either. i do love the gameplay (combat specifically) of those games tho. Agree the gameplay loop can be tedious but i like it for shutting off my brain sometimes. and yeah, old crash bandicoot rules. nearly fully completed those 3, just have 5 or so time trials to complete on each one but they were beating my ass so i dropped em
DType 05.07.23	I just finished the first Crash, or got pretty far in regards to beating all levels, but i didn't 100% them, fuck that tbh
PotsyTater 05.07.23	I feel like this game would probably land better for someone who isnâ€™t also deeply misanthropic tho because the Ellie dilemma is such a non-issue to begin with for me Iâ€™d massacre an entire building to save my fucking CAT if they were going to kill it for a humanity saving vaccine. No question. Fuck yâ€™all.
DType 05.07.23	I'm recently planning to do a Castlevania series run for the first time ever, i've only finished Lords of Shadow which is one of my favorite games of all time, gonna start with the og on NES anytime soon
PotsyTater 05.07.23	And also there is no â€œdid Abby go to farâ€ dilemma for me either. If you killed my cat because my cat was tryna kill your adoptive daughter to make a humanity saving vaccine Iâ€™d do the same. Probably worse.
Mort. 05.07.23	personally i loved getting into character as abby and being like 'yeah lets kill these fuckers' and then i loved getting into character as ellie and being like 'yeah lets kill these fuckers'
PotsyTater 05.07.23	I mean Iâ€™m down to roleplay murder Jesse and Dina now fuck both those guys and also a pregnant lady for a pregnant lady just seems very eye for an eye
Mort. 05.07.23	dina is such a dud of a character
PotsyTater 05.07.23	The only worse character is the other pregnant one
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	I love Dina lol Idk guys the game is goated imo. RDR2 is the only game that comes close.
MillionDead 05.07.23	Yakuza 6
PotsyTater 05.07.23	If rdr2 is your all time fav game we arenâ€™t gonna find much common ground lol It was good but likeâ€¦. Not even close to my top 10
Wildcardbitchesss 05.07.23	I like a good story. Obv I like good gameplay but I love that some games have finally caught up to film and television. The Last of Us Part 2 and RDR2 are just brilliantly written.
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Ok I know why I like Abby now Abby go big smash smash with hammer
Colton 05.07.23	I played TLOU2 during the weeks after I got surgery and idk if it was just cause I was on painkillers and edibles but it was one of the most immersive game experiences I've had
Colton 05.07.23	i played the ps5 version and it might be the most technically impressive game I've played too
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Ya I imagine ps5 graphics would elevate this. The part with Abby getting hung is what I needed to get pulled back in tbh, When I got to the part where I was going down the rapids as Ellie and having to stop every four minutes to open a gate or restart the engine I was really just getting annoyed with the constant distractions Didnâ€™t think Iâ€™d EVER get to the Ferris wheel And then you do and itâ€™s like lol cliff hanger, you have to be Abby for 10 Hours now
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Iâ€™ve known lev and yara for about 3 seconds and I already like them better than any of Abby or Ellieâ€™s friends
PotsyTater 05.07.23	Canâ€™t wait to find out which ones pregnant
PotsyTater 05.08.23	Lev is the best and Abbyâ€™s story is way better than Ellieâ€™s up to this point
Koris 05.08.23	Update: just got full 105% completion in Crash Bandicoot Warped (the original, not the N. Sane version). Hellyeah!
Pikazilla 05.08.23	epic the remasters are great as well and so is the new sequel
DType 05.08.23	Dang, noice
Shuyin 05.08.23	I moved out and I'm living with my girl, all we have at our apartment is my old Sega Saturn. She loves Fighters Megamix, and I've been playing some Amok and Soviet Strike. Overwhelming nostalgia
Wildcardbitchesss 05.08.23	has anyone 100% Crash 4 lol I love it but that game is fuckin ridiculous
Colton 05.08.23	Lev and Yara are alright but their existence does kind of feel like a quick way to make Abby more sympathetic while also introducing new setpieces around them, which is fine but it didn't feel as organic as it could have
Colton 05.08.23	there are two specific setpieces with them that are very cool
Pikazilla 05.08.23	"has anyone 100% Crash 4 lol I love it but that game is fuckin ridiculous" hello
PotsyTater 05.08.23	â€œ quick way to make Abby more sympatheticâ€ Very true. But this is a gripe I have with the game at large. Lots of really superficial things added to try and make each character obligatorily sympathetic, rather than earned. But despite Lev being one of the few characters I like in the game the entire story section about him and his sister is very obviously there to 1) ingratiate Abby with the player, and 2) humanize some of the cult folks But the set pieces, and Abbyâ€™s story in general once lev comes in, have changed my tune a bit about the game being to similar to the first one. Love the verticality of the sky bridge section, that felt fresh and fun. And new weapons seem to actually be picking up and such now.
Tundra 05.08.23	TLOU2 I played it but I found it oddly really forgettable, ultimately felt like a pointless sidequest to the main plot which was the first game
Wildcardbitchesss 05.08.23	Jesus pika really Iâ€™d tear my fucking hair out lol
Pikazilla 05.08.23	both TLOU have somewhat questionable writing tbh and generally meh mechanics I'd much rather play the Res Evil or Silent Hill classics for survival zombie shit
Pikazilla 05.08.23	"Jesus pika really" I grew up playing Crash, so yeah I didn't however try to beat the dev times, some of those are ridiculous to the point where one half-second hiccup will cost you the run
Koris 05.08.23	I genuinely tried to 100% Crash 4, even as someone who grew up with the series, but I honestly couldn't. Shit was so aggravating
Pikazilla 05.08.23	I don't think I've raged a single time when going for the plat time trial relics The motorbike and boat levels in 3 were far, far worse The controls there were hideous
Koris 05.08.23	Yeah, replaying Warped reminded me of just how annoying some of those segments are, especially when trying to get relics. The last few motorbike levels in particular - especially the Area 51 one - were such a pain to complete. Getting the relics in the flying levels wasn't much better The first game has its share of bullshit too, especially on levels like You Take the High Road
Scheumke 05.08.23	Just finished my Elden Ring platinum, now finally coming back to GoW Ragnarok. Pretty sweet so far, some gipes but they are small considering the whole.
Pikazilla 05.08.23	Oh, that one is fun! I think the time trials in the first one are great! And the deathless trophies too! People seem to overstate their difficulty.
Koris 05.08.23	While we're on the topic of older games, I'm pretty excited to play the Mega Man Battle Network legacy collection that just came out. I really hope they streamlined and ironed out some of the issues of the series, especially in regards to the confusing level design of BN1 and backtracking of BN4
Demon of the Fall 05.08.23	trying to get into Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (remastered PS4). Not sure so far but itâ€™s early days.
PotsyTater 05.08.23	I gave up on that game. I really wanted it to be good but it was boring
MyColdShoulder 05.08.23	Played the first 10 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 on switch and I'm really feeling it. Music is superb and the world is awesome as hell. Combat ain't too shabby either
Pikazilla 05.08.23	Xeno Chronicles is a certified classic
MyColdShoulder 05.08.23	I believe it, can't wait to continue. Loving Shulk and Reyn, just total bros
Demon of the Fall 05.08.23	Pots, itâ€™s started off that way despite the concept / story being endearing so far. Hope it picks up.
Vinnymcscoop 05.08.23	Right now getting back into Earthbound, I got pass Nessie and I got a cool bubble monkey. I love this cute game, I hope nothing terrifying happens at the end ðŸ˜‰
PotsyTater 05.08.23	@demon let me know if it does. I only played a few hours
Mort. 05.08.23	bit late but red dead 2 is so fucking boring ive tried that game twice now and just cant get into it
Wildcardbitchesss 05.08.23	It takes a little while to get going but chapters 3-6 are so good.
Purpl3Spartan 05.08.23	Recently got a game called cruelty squad. what a mind job it is
Colton 05.08.23	"both TLOU have somewhat questionable writing tbh and generally meh mechanics" disagree hard tbh the combat in TLOU is amazing to me
Colton 05.08.23	and the dialogue in general is very good and not video gamey at all, with a few exceptions
Colton 05.08.23	one thing that really stuck with me is the quality of the facial animations. some of the cutscenes are surreal. there's games with better looking environments and lighting and what not but I don't think any game has come close to that level of facial animations and that goes a long way in a story based game that conveys intense emotions
Wildcardbitchesss 05.08.23	Especially on a PS4 game. Naughty Dog squeezed every bit it could out of that machine. Iâ€™m stoked to see what they can do on PS5
PotsyTater 05.08.23	The dialogue and story in both tlou games and rdr2 definitely are definitely a cut above the rest in a more â€œgood televisionâ€ way than standard â€œvideo gameâ€ way. Which is very cool for what it is, and I admire the immersion compared to something like Witcher 3 or Skyrim for example where I could not smash my way through the dialogue fast enough, but itâ€™s also not my favourite â€œstyleâ€ of story telling for a video game. I really like the minimalism of Fromsoft games and Zelda games where the story is simple but cryptic and the immersion is rooted in atmosphere, aesthetic and mood/tone.
Colton 05.08.23	yeah it's hard to say how they'll approach their first game that's built for the 5 from the ground up. I would like something like Ragnarok or the new Star Wars where it's semi open world but still ultimately linear, with less of a focus on traditional game stuff like map markers and quest menus and what not, but still encouraging exploration
PotsyTater 05.08.23	Or something like hyper light drifter that has no dialogue whatsoever but still manages to be immersive and investing
Colton 05.08.23	yeah the story in The Witcher was really not enjoyable for me at all. agreed on BOTW's approach. I'm really hyped for TOTK now
PotsyTater 05.08.23	My buddy got the leak on an emulator and has been playing for over a week now ðŸ˜¡ Heâ€™s given me some spoiler free deets and itâ€™s sounding very very positive.
Colton 05.08.23	yeah they have a perfect foundation in BOTW and they've been working on the follow-up for 6 years without the burden of having to create a whole new world or engine or graphics style, or make it run on a Wii U. I know they're gonna add some awesome shit. I have also heard that the new 1.1 update makes it run a lot smoother than it did in all of those previews that came out
Wildcardbitchesss 05.09.23	Staying up entirely too late playing Forbidden West. Everything I had a problem with in Zero Dawn is made way better here. Iâ€™m fifteen hours in and I feel like Iâ€™ve barely scratched the surface. The side missions are way more interesting, the characters are way less annoying. And god damn the game is beautiful. I played in 4K for a little while, but the 30 FPS was just too distracting.
PotsyTater 05.09.23	Thatâ€™s great to hear because I really liked zero dawn
Deathconscious 05.09.23	I have Forbidden West, havent gotten to it yet. Been wanting to finish Witcher III first. But i loved Zero Dawn, im looking forward to it.
Wildcardbitchesss 05.09.23	Itâ€™s really great. hltb says a completionist run is about 88 hours, I could definitely see myself putting in at least 60 plus another 10 for the DLC. Iâ€™m not sure if theyâ€™re the main antagonists of the game but theyâ€™re a lot more interesting than those cardboard cut outs in the first one. And I might finally get around to Witcher 3 after this now that itâ€™s got that next gen upgrade. Iâ€™ve had the base game and the DLC for years now but never really have given it a shot. I have so many games in my backlog lol. I wanna get around to the Alan Wake remaster and Control before Alan Wake 2 comes out. I still have to play the DLC for Ghost of Tsushima, and just picked up the Guardians of the Galaxy game on sale. And both Neir Replicant and Automata. Plus me and my friends have been slowly playing The Quarry online, itâ€™s just hard for us all to find time where weâ€™re all off or all can stay up late. Really glad I bought the PS5. Gaming on PC got kinda old and my computer canâ€™t run games like it used to.
PotsyTater 05.09.23	Please join the Witcher 3 hater team
Minortimbo12 05.09.23	Ive been grinding my mario kart wii online rating B-)
Mort. 05.09.23	Witcher 3 is an incredibly mediocre game coasting on the fact that any triple aaa open world rpg is destined for success due to the relatively low amount of them over the years (compared to fps games for example)
PotsyTater 05.09.23	Enjoying Witcher 3 is the third closest you can get to larping without publicly humiliating yourself
Deathconscious 05.09.23	I think it is overrated and the combat leaves much to be desired. I play it because it immerses me in another world effectively, and the writing is very solid.
PotsyTater 05.09.23	Itâ€™s a shame said other world is like the edgy snyderverse version of Harry Potter
Deathconscious 05.09.23	Big stretch.
PotsyTater 05.09.23	Wym Geralt is basically adult Harry Potter heâ€™s just a wizard with cat eyes and instead of hogwarts he goes to the alternative education version of hogwarts for goths and kids with behavioural issues
PotsyTater 05.09.23	Ron is the ginger chick and herminy is, uh, the swamp hags
MillionDead 05.09.23	I'm almost done with Yakuza 6. Trying to figure out if I want to play Like a Dragon since it switches to turn based mechanics. Also want to play Judgement and Lost Judgement but Judgement isn't on Xbox One. Been considering getting a current gen console since I make enough money but not sure yet. Barely any new games out that I feel like I MUST play. Does anyone else feel like AAA games are kind of a wasteland rn?
someone 05.09.23	after a couple-month break, i might go back to gaming now. gf's brother is renovating his home, so he won't be using his xbox for a while. therefore we'll play some goodies. previously tried Life is Strange Episode 1 together, so might return to that.
PotsyTater 05.09.23	Im annoyed at how many obligations I have on the weekend of new Zelda release and also the following weekend
Demon of the Fall 05.09.23	â€˜demon let me know if it does. I only played a few hoursâ€˜ Yeah, Iâ€™m only 2.5 hours in or something. I think this is essentially still a tutorialâ€¦ just happens to be the slowest most tedious tutorial of all time ðŸ¤£ (hoping this isnâ€™t representative of the whole game anyway).
Colton 05.11.23	was expecting positive reception for TOTK but wowâ€¦ by all accounts it sucks your dick and pays off your mortgage
budgie 05.11.23	colton wanna play the sims w me and play house
botb 05.11.23	Yakuza LAD is the most fun, youâ€™ll get lost in the mini games guaranteed. Been finishing out a cult of the lamb playthrough, very very fun game
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Cult of the lamb was cute I enjoyed
Koris 05.11.23	Since I just replayed the original Crash trilogy recently, I figured I'd do the same with the Spyro trilogy. The first one still holds up quite well, although the camera is pretty clunky. I really appreciate how detailed and expansive the levels are
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	Pokemon Diamond. I will probably finish in a couple months im already 100 hours in. After that i need to choose if i will play blue or silver.
Colton 05.11.23	how does one play pokemon diamond for 100 hours and then require additional months to finish
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Quintessential Storm moment
Demon of the Fall 05.11.23	@Koris: how do they hold up overall? I have major nostalgiaâ€¦ especially with Spyro 1, Crash 1 & 3 (Warped?). I reckon those vibes world carry the experience to an extent, but just curious. Iâ€™ve not dared to potentially blemish the memories of youth thus far.
Demon of the Fall 05.11.23	60/70 is possible re original gen 4 if you use a zillion Pokes and struggle to decide who to power forward withâ€¦ 100 is erm, impressive, yeah
budgie 05.11.23	colton you break my heart
Colton 05.11.23	what i do
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	Because i only play 20 minutes at a time on breal from work and just fight pokemon
Demon of the Fall 05.11.23	I was assuming 100 hours of game-time, not real time that accumulates while youâ€™re not playing ðŸ˜„ Pretty sure I hit 140+ on my first run of Silver, but that was a very different time!
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	Yeah it is 100 hours of playtime
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	I have 7 badges and a selection for a team of level 50 pokemon
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	Basically when one hits 50 its time to hyper train the next.
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	Unfortunate I cant evolve kadabra or onyx but at this point i would choose to keep my onyx and nwver evolve him.
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	I mean her. Lol
Colton 05.11.23	i am very hyped for zelda after seeing these reviews. had plans tomorrow but my friend just got covid so probably just gonna degen it hard after work tmo
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	I name them all after variations of our real life dogs. Luna, Lunatic, 'Tic, Bucket, Shorty, Lizzy, Porky, etc etc
Storm In A Teacup 05.11.23	Also demon any time the game is on and im not playing its cuz i fell asleep and i lose everything i did that night cuz the ds dies lol
heyadam 05.11.23	TEARS OF THE KINGDOM DAY LETSGOOOOO also playing Honkai Star Rail rn lol
PotsyTater 05.11.23	I have to go touch grass for my partners birthday tomorrow canâ€™t even start TOTK. Truly devastating. I did tell her that Saturday I will be staying up until 3 am playing tho and not to speak to me. @heyadam itâ€™s ok bro. I have a hoyo guilty pleasure that we will not speak of as well.
Colton 05.11.23	about to go finish BOTW for the first time
PotsyTater 05.11.23	I donâ€™t think Iâ€™m gonna finish last of us 2 tonight so looks like I will never know if I get to bash Abbyâ€™s skull in
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Is there any hype for Pikmin 4?
heyadam 05.11.23	@pots lmaoooo, idk what hoyo put in their water but HSR kinda rips. itâ€™s a great time being mostly f2p rn Downloading TOTK right at 9pm pst and absolutely playing for as long as possible. I have tomorrow off too so it lined up perfectly
PotsyTater 05.11.23	@adam yeah Iâ€™ve heard they have pretty much alleviated all of the QOL criticisms of another certain game-that-shall-not-be-named and that itâ€™s particularly f2p friendly. I will probably try it out when it comes to ps4 next patch.
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Wait totk comes out at 9pst tonight??? BRUH
Colton 05.11.23	you can spend $101.69 to preload it now
Colton 05.11.23	but yeah for BC ratfucks it's 9
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Sounds like somebodies responsibilities and loved ones are getting NEGLECTED TONIGGGHY letâ€™s GOOO
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Yeah I have it preinstalled already
heyadam 05.11.23	@pots I played the game that shall not be named all the way through the third world and dropped it bc of salt, but Iâ€™m fond of it tbh. not opening the can of worms about the discussion around the type of game, but hoyo at least clearly puts the money back into their games but yes, tonight itâ€™s Zelda ðŸ˜ˆðŸ˜ˆ
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Haha oh man now youâ€™ve got me way too curious what the salt was? I only started playing late last year so it was already on grass and sand realm, so I only know of previous controversies second hand
heyadam 05.11.23	haha it wasnâ€™t anything dramatic â€” Iâ€™d be playing since launch day and honestly have a pretty stacked account, but after I pulled Ayaka I saved primos for months to pull for her and Ganyuâ€™s weapons on separate banners. Basically lost the 50/50 on both of them AND THEN lost it again to the other weapon that the banner was split on. Basically 360 pulls down the drain for some weapons Iâ€™ll never use. Havenâ€™t played since, although Iâ€™ll probably jump back in at some point this year bc I hear Sumeru is lit
heyadam 05.11.23	it was my fault for being baited by the weapons banner, but honestly I have all the characters I need to make like four insane teams so I just wanted their shiny cool weapons : (
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Ooooooof ya that is pain. I take it that was before the epitomized path for weapons then? Pain. Ya sumeru is probably the best region and some of the new characters are absolutely cracked. Alfalfa Ham, Nilou, and Nahida particularly all enable the most satisfying teams Iâ€™ve played thus far.
PotsyTater 05.11.23	What are said four teams you were building?
naughtcturnal 05.11.23	playing Senren Kampa ( Í¡Â° ÍœÊ– Í¡Â°) if u know, u know
Ryus 05.11.23	i should probably finish BOTW
heyadam 05.11.23	@pots main squad was c4 Mona/Ganyu/Ayaka/ c2 Venti squad 2: c1 Keqing / c6 Fischl / Klee / c6 Barbara squad 3: c5 Bennet / Shenhe / c2 Qiqi / c4 Diluc was building the fourth based around Jean and xingqiu when I stopped haha. Damn, might wanna jump back in earlier ðŸ‘€ lowkey having a ton of fun with HSR tho, might just pop back in and leisurely enjoy the Genshin story once I hit a wall in HSR
heyadam 05.11.23	add me on psn homie: mosh2hoobastank when I jump back on Genshin Iâ€™ll send my UID, and if you wanna use my supports when you play HSR I can add you there too. not hype to start up that artifact grind again on Genshin lol
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Will do! Sounds good. I want Keqing so bad ðŸ˜© Also was super tempted to pull for Ganyu for my Ayaka team to have something similar to that but with kazuha instead of venti but I donâ€™t actually have kazuha yet and heâ€™s coming up so I had to refrain for now lol. But honestly cryo teams have kind of got put on the back burner now that dendro is out. They arenâ€™t useful for abyss right now. Due for a buff. Hyperbloom, aggravate/spread, hyperfridge, and nilous omega bloom or whatever tf itâ€™s called teams are currently the OP reactions so the bulk of my built characters are dendro, electro and hydro. Nilous bloom teams are comically over-powered particularly. And yeah lmao fuck artifacts Jfc
rabidfish 05.11.23	bought pizza tower, gonna play at some point... Looks funny as fuck. Haven't picked up a game in almost a year now.
Colton 05.11.23	just beat BOTW for the first time, didnâ€™t think it was nearly as bad as people say
heyadam 05.11.23	yeah bro my teams have absolutely been power/metacrept hahaha. honestly have been a Mona main since day one so as long as I can keep nuking shit with her, Iâ€™m having fun. Her and Ganyu were unstoppable for the longest time â€” heard about the Kazuha rerun! everyone is still crying about no Eula lol. Dude artifacts was also partially the reason â€” I wanted to finish my Venti, and I saved up weeks of fragile resin and after the dust settled I had ONE pretty good piece lmao. HSR has a much more forgiving and not as needed artifact system bc the talents are really what matters on the unit for the majority of the game
heyadam 05.11.23	@colton I really only take BOTW slander as trolling at this point lol. Thereâ€™s no way someone can objectively be like â€œthis game blowsâ€
Colton 05.11.23	I meant people say the ending sucks
heyadam 05.11.23	yeah it was perfectly fine lol. like the story definitely wasnâ€™t the selling point anyways - def curious to see if they switch that up for this new one bc it looks like they will
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Tbh Mona has been powercrept too but I still use her because sheâ€™s so fun in taser teams. Not very useful at all for bloom/hyperbloom teams tho unfortunately, XQ and Yelan work much better for the former and Barbara and kok are apparently best for nilou bloom but I donâ€™t have kok and I refuse to use Barbara in any capacity And yeah lmao the two current saltiest topics seem to be no Eula rerun (I donâ€™t like her so w/e) and of course how butthurt everyone is about Dehya sucking (I was excited for her but these folks act like hoyo killed their dog and itâ€™s hilarious/pathetic)
heyadam 05.11.23	dawg Iâ€™m only pulling for Candace (lol at the name) when I come back bc we need more brown waifus. Iâ€™m not hip to current tea besides Eula, and at this point as long a so can clear story content and just have fun exploring Iâ€™m big chillin. Itâ€™ll be cool to outfit my faves with perfect artifacts but even that feels like a pipe dream
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Yeah Iâ€™m pretty casual so being meta is not very important to me as long as they are fun. 12 starring the abyss is not my main priority and also far from where I have the most fun. That being said Candace does suck unfortunately even in overworld gameplay. And Dehya is the most recent brown character and she also got done hella dirty.
heyadam 05.11.23	hard rip ðŸ˜ saw her character design and was like damn sheâ€™s gonna be lit. yeah, Abyss was never a huge draw for me. what I like about hoyo is that the games are fun for casuals and for tryhards depending on what you want to do. the only crowd it isnâ€™t a lowkey time for are the hilichurls
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Her design is great agreed! I semi-built her becuSe she was one of the first characters I pulled but yeah once I figured out wtf I was doing as far as rotations and synergy went she just really got outmatched fast. Also hilichurls have received a pretty righteous buff themselves ðŸ¤ Thereâ€™s a couple new types that are actually somewhat formidable and have amazing designs
heyadam 05.11.23	damn bro, if Zelda wasnâ€™t coming out tonight I might have logged on lmao. also they put Dehya in the standard banner?!? thatâ€™s actually hilarious and I can def see why people are pissed. Imagine hating her and then getting her on a 50/50. def gonna jump back in casually once I hit the content wall on HSR
PotsyTater 05.11.23	Haha yeah putting her on standard was just adding insult to injury. It was really fun to watch r/dehyamains go through the 7 stages of grief tho. Leading up to release as it became more and more apparent she was definitely going to suck the copium posts and memes were so hilarious and wholesome. And then when she actually was released the sense of humour about it devolved into the most hilarious emotional rollercoaster Iâ€™ve ever seen. Like actually unhinged behaviour. They were literally acting like they were starting a revolution against a tyrannical oppressor by spamming hoyo with complaints. Anyone who didnâ€™t have their entire world turned upside down by this became a â€œbootlickerâ€.
heyadam 05.12.23	Iâ€™m going to wait a year and then start a one man yelling petition to make Candace busted and bump her up to a 5*. Fuck hoyo for what theyâ€™ve done, itâ€™s unforgivable yeah I canâ€™t imagine watching that unfold in real time, idk how I missed that drama bc I still orbited the community. absolute buckwild times we live in
PotsyTater 05.12.23	Lmao a Candace uprising is never too late!! Sent you a friend request
heyadam 05.12.23	went to jump on and fuck around for an hour before totk is unlocked, but the update is gonna take an hour and a half lmao. so much to download
PotsyTater 05.12.23	Lmao yeaaa fuck those updates But amazing first few hours of totk! I did the three tutorial shrines and logged off for the night but man we goin GOOFY goofy with the new mechanics and I am here for it
PotsyTater 05.12.23	And GREEEEEEEEEN instead of BLLLLLLEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUE ðŸ¥µ
Colton 05.12.23	gonna play in like an hour
heyadam 05.12.23	yeah itâ€™s so good!! Iâ€™m here for the cheese too. I swear I spent line ten minutes trying to build this loony tunes ass fan bridge and it didnâ€™t work. love the music so far, just still getting used to the UI again and making shit flowwww
PotsyTater 05.12.23	Boys if you find any ridiculously good weapon / arrow fusions etc make sure to share them here. So far a big fan of attaching a bomb plant to my shield and doing a shield surf. Also do love dual wielding boulder shield and boulder stick.
PotsyTater 05.12.23	Or maybe someone should make a totk thread
heyadam 05.12.23	does it just drop a timed bomb or something when you shield surf?
PotsyTater 05.12.23	Hop on and find out bro
heyadam 05.12.23	too busy trying to convince myself itâ€™s okay not to have a glider. also, Iâ€™ll start a TOTK thread in a few lol
PotsyTater 05.12.23	Surely we get a glider
heyadam 05.12.23	idk dawg I'm at like a 50/50 in believing we won't lol. They might want to really push the other tech
Deathconscious 05.13.23	Waiting on Red Dead Redemption in the mail. Wanted to try the second one but then heard their stories are linked, so im going for this one first. Mainly looking for a change in scenery from the usual sci fi and fantasy stuff i play.
Mort. 05.13.23	playing hollow knight. on 111%. need to complete the last two gauntlets and i will have 112% and all the trophies also started planescape: torment loving it
Ryus 05.13.23	nice i have 112% but havent finished the pantheon of hallownest. i know i can do it but i just havent taken the time to and probably never will lol. probably my favorite game
Mort. 05.13.23	dude im not surprised. that final pantheon sounds like a nightmare. at the moment i can get to pure vessel in the 4th pantheon but have only beat them once in practice (first fought it like 3 days ago) once i beat them 3 times in a row in practice ill go try the pantheon until i do it. not very good at this game, metroidvanias arent really a genre im acquainted with. but i will say hollow knight is stone cold classic and an easy 9 or 10/10
PotsyTater 05.13.23	Why are you guys talking about anything other than tears of the kingdom, that time has passed, all other video games are dead
Storm In A Teacup 05.13.23	insert 1990s pokemon game comment
Mort. 05.13.23	i dont have a console to play zelda and ive never played a zelda game and i simply dont care about zelda
Storm In A Teacup 05.13.23	Ive never played zelda either, mort. Im syncing up to fully mort!
Demon of the Fall 05.13.23	I have no idea what you guys are talking about and this is weirdly reassuring
PotsyTater 05.13.23	â€œ and i simply dont care about zeldaâ€ This is your worst character trait, I wouldnâ€™t advertise this
Demon of the Fall 05.13.23	I just thought Zelda was a â€˜charmingâ€™ action adventure that you wouldnâ€™t ever care about if you hadnâ€™t played the series in your youth
PotsyTater 05.13.23	Not having played Zelda in your youth is the worst character trait possible
Demon of the Fall 05.13.23	A hazard of never having a Nintendo console Potsy. Amastrad > MegaDrive > PS1 / GameBoy (was there a Zelda on GameBoy?) > PS2 been Xbox / PS since, but I do currently own a Switch so ðŸ¤·ðŸ»â€¦ could happen
PotsyTater 05.13.23	Ur a monster
heyadam 05.13.23	In non Zelda news tho... there isn't any
PotsyTater 05.13.23	Facts
someone 05.14.23	Let my gf play Stray, now she wants a cat again
someone 05.14.23	"and i simply dont care about zelda" Yeah, I never got into it either
Wildcardbitchesss 05.31.23	finally wrapped up Forbidden West yesterday. sucks Lance Reddick died. Sylens is easily the most interesting character in the series and it felt like he got sidelined for a lot of the game. Other than that I loved it. Iâ€™m not usually one to max out stats but I loved the gameplay loop so much more than in Zero Dawn. Gonna take a break from it before I tackle the DLC. Does anyone know of any more games like Norco or Citizen Sleeper? I know Disco Elysium is probably similar but I got few hours into it a couple of months ago and lost my save so I donâ€™t really feel like picking it back up rn

zakalwe 06.01.23	A third play-through of Witcher III. For what it is, the peak of computer games.
someone 06.01.23	finished Stray, loved the game, though i wish there was more to do tbh, it kinda moves puzzle section to puzzle section and the story stales a bit afterwards finished Alien Isolation again, fucking fantastic, love the dicks out of that game. have not been transported into this discomforting world since the first time i saw the first two films, except this game keeps the awe and the tension going on repeat. love it started Fallout New Vegas and wuickly dropped it, cannot deal with the wonky look of it. i guess i was just brought up in a different generation. the messy graphics gave me a migraine for real. shame, really. i heard it's a great game. started Aven Colony cause Sim City is too outdated. an okay timewaster, but im just training for Frost Punk
frozencarl 06.01.23	started Far Cry 6, pretty good so far minus the at times cringey dialogue. also decided to pick up Breath of the Wild again cuz of all the TotK hype but still having a hard time getting into it
someone 07.05.23	finally got around to Mass Effect 3 on Xbox my god playing a console is so fucking uncomfortable. how are yall doing it?
Ryus 07.05.23	i am playing dark souls. it is fun
Wildcardbitchesss 07.05.23	Playing returnal rn. Itâ€™s kicking my ass but in a good way
Storm In A Teacup 07.05.23	Boston Legal season 2 episode 1 doesnt seem as good as season 1
Wildcardbitchesss 07.05.23	just wait til you get to season 3
Koris 07.05.23	Currently playing an underrated PS1 game called Alundra. It's basically a Zelda-inspired action/adventure/RPG hybrid, but the catch is that you're able to explore and traverse the dreams of others. Really cool concept, and I like the emphasis on puzzle-solving
Wildcardbitchesss 07.05.23	Itâ€™s so hard for me to go back and play classics. That MGS collection thatâ€™s coming out looks dope as fuck but I already know Iâ€™m gonna hate it because itâ€™s so dated
Pikazilla 07.05.23	what the fuck retro games are the best
s0nicx 07.05.23	I'm going through Persona 3 Fes. Picked up a PS2 earlier in the year (And have also collected a number of other consoles and games since then). Really been enjoying playing these older games.
Feather 07.05.23	Yeah, I have found that I am fine with dated games. BOTW was my first zelda game ever and it inspired me to play through Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask. I loved both.
s0nicx 07.05.23	(Please for the love of God let the P3 remake be good)
Wildcardbitchesss 07.05.23	Games just age so much worse than pretty much every other kind of media. Goldeneye was the shit when I was a kid but man, I went back and played it like last year and it was just terrible
s0nicx 07.05.23	Yeah but it almost gives it a certain charm. Especially since every game that comes out now is either COD or an open-world snooze fest.
Feather 07.05.23	Also Pokemon R/B/Y and G/S/C still slap on the GBC
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	depends innit, original Doom is still fun
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	I still like Fallout 3 even tho itâ€™s technically shite
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	If youâ€™ve never touched the game / series beforehand tho I totally get thinking itâ€™s hard to appreciate. Nostalgia carries certain games for the longest time
Koris 07.05.23	"Goldeneye was the shit when I was a kid but man, I went back and played it like last year and it was just terrible" Yeah, Goldeneye didn't age well at all, especially in regards to its control scheme
Pikazilla 07.05.23	a lot of new games have shite gameplay, save very few titles each year OG Doom is still the greatest fps ever made
Wildcardbitchesss 07.05.23	thereâ€™s a few that dodge that. I didnâ€™t grow up with any Nintendo shit aside from the 64 but itâ€™s easy to pick up old Mario games. Crash Bandicoot still holds up, platformers in general age better imo. But man itâ€™s rough to go from playing the new Hitman games to the originals, even blood money feels rough to me now
s0nicx 07.05.23	P3 for all its dated mechanics such as the tiredness and tactic system (Though imo it just needs tweaks for the AI and then it would actually be really good), there's so much more personality, charm, and depth than games with 100x its budget.
s0nicx 07.05.23	Having now played Goldeneye, even with its awful control scheme, I still had fun with it.
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	On this subject Iâ€™m playing a game called â€˜Pokemon Scarletâ€™â€¦ itâ€™s tough, not sure when it came out exactly but Iâ€™m guessing it must be 20 years old
s0nicx 07.05.23	I'm sorry but I can't even take that joke seriously.
s0nicx 07.05.23	Game Freak put effort into game dev challenge (impossible).
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	Iâ€™m enjoying it but already taking the precaution of rotating six zillion PokÃ©mon because auto xp share was a joke on Sw/Sh + Arceus and (hearing) itâ€™ll probably be necessary
Pikazilla 07.05.23	GF has no incentive to put any effort into new titles when they'll sell like hot cakes anyway Fuckers even shut down rom hacks / fan games that become relatively big within community
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	Yeah. I just actually enjoyed gens 6/7 despite the linearity bollocks because (for PokÃ©mon) they were actually challenging without xp share. Why remove the option completely? I understand some people just want to wander around catching shit / exploring with zero reason to train a competent team, but whatever happened to player choice?
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	If I want to purposefully hamper myself then let me ffs, I shouldnâ€™t need to train 20 Pokes at once
Feather 07.05.23	I admit, I had a lot of fun with Poke Scarlet. Completed the dex and started seriously playing competitive for the first time ever (EV/IV training and all; only focusing on doubles, singles is boring AF)
BaselineOOO 07.05.23	DRAGON QUEST VIII: Journey of the Cursed King !! Will soon start DRAGON QUEST V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride !!
s0nicx 07.05.23	God I wish I still had my DS. I would so find a way to play Dragon Quest 9 just to go through the 700 hour grind to 100% it.
Pikazilla 07.05.23	dragon quest is fucking amazing
s0nicx 07.05.23	I'm still holding out hope they'll remake 9 but just make it to where you don't need the DS mechanics.
Willie 07.05.23	Finally played Days Gone after listening to the negative reviews for too long. It turned out to be an awesome game.
ConcubinaryCode 07.05.23	I've been a lot more avid playing killer in dead by daylight. The anniversary event has been a boon to leveling up killers and getting them good perks.
ConcubinaryCode 07.05.23	I wish the budget for pokemon games was available because I'd wager a guess they're still getting handheld budgets despite now making "console" games now.
Wildcardbitchesss 07.05.23	Speaking of Dead By Daylight, Iâ€™m pretty excited for this Texas Chainsaw game. It looks like a higher budget version of Dead By Daylight imo
Hyperion1001 07.05.23	retail wow
protokute 07.06.23	i tried playing Days Gone for the first few hours a while ago, but then i stopped and never came back to it...

bellovddd 07.06.23	i just got Alan Wake Remasterd for free on playstation so giving that a whirl now.
PotsyTater 07.06.23	Pikmin 4 demo lol
s0nicx 07.06.23	Alan Wake was so damn good. I'm scared the second game is gonna be a disaster (Its also the first warning shot of the shitshow that "digital only release" is gonna be).
mkmusic1995 07.06.23	Cities Skylines is my addiction
Willie 07.06.23	Days Gone is kind of bland for the first few hours until you can dump the tutorial mission and start upgrading and exploring.
s0nicx 07.06.23	Days Gone is a perfect example how a game doesn't need to be ground breaking to be good without being a mediocre snooze fest. I feel that gets lost in a lot of discussion of games today. Not everything has to be the next Citizen Kane.
Willie 07.06.23	Exactly ^^^
bellovddd 07.06.23	@s0nicx - I am loving the story of Alan Wake but i'm finding the gameplay a little bit clunky at time.
Willie 07.07.23	I played the original Alan Wake, and the story is worth a little bit of wonky (and repetitive, honestly) game play. I might even try the remaster since it is free on PS, and it has been a long time since I played the original.
bellovddd 07.07.23	Ye I got the remasterred version. I'm enjoying it.
naughtcturnal 07.07.23	Started Mega Man Battle Network legacy collection
Sharenge 07.07.23	oo Alan Wake is free on PSN? maybe time to re-up my Plus subscription for a month or so cus I kind of want to check it out... then again should probably look into the piracy option first (the method that is ACTUALLY free - that's how they get you!) now that I have a PC that should have no issue running that game
Colton 07.07.23	playin a little game called real life. you wanna see good graphics how about you go outside. put the controller down and take control of your damn self
bellovddd 07.07.23	no way, real life is way to scary and depressing. give me back my controller please.
Sharenge 07.07.23	thanks for your guidance my life is solved
Demon of the Fall 07.07.23	'no way, real life is way to scary and depressing. give me back my controller please.' (2)
zakalwe 07.07.23	Waiting for Baldurs Gate 3
Wildcardbitchesss 07.07.23	Alan Wakeâ€™s story is fine but the rest of the game is ass. Itâ€™s not scary, the game is stupid easy, a lot of the characters are pretty one note. Itâ€™s literally just made a lot better by being connected to Control. Alan Wake 2 looks fuckin sick tho honestly, thereâ€™s more tension and enemy variety in that one trailer than in the entire original game.
s0nicx 07.07.23	I 100%'d Alan Wake. Also just saying that game is not easy on the higher difficulties (the lumber yard is brutal on nightmare). Still have yet to play control.
DocSportello 07.07.23	Control absolutely FUCKS
heyadam 07.08.23	Jumped back into FFXIV after finishing the trial like a year ago â€” fully hooked and having a blast
Sharenge 07.08.23	definitely been interested to check that out but not sure playing a game that requires a monthly subscription is something I'll ever go back to but eh I guess never say never... hmmm kinda curious now what the private server community is like for the Final Fantasy MMOs though now that I think about it... both for that one and for the first MMO they did (FFXI)... might have to look into that
heyadam 07.08.23	Yeah from what I hear from the community itâ€™s just an extremely healthy game still with a fuck ton of content, but most people donâ€™t just stay subbed non-stop. People will just sub for a month when they have the time / new content drops.
pjquinones747 07.13.23	finally starting to get the hang of dark souls a bit after i successfully killed the dark knight in the undead burg n started using his big fuck you sword
BAT 07.14.23	Played ffxiv back before the pandemic and would absolutely rec it for its community alone, but it's also possible to get thru the game solo without much issue. I will say the main (free trial) campaign isn't as good as the expansions soo don't judge it by the missions alone, but overall a great game to chill out in. Beat evil within and God of War over the weekend, finally giving resident evil 7 ago
bellovddd 07.14.23	I finished Alan Wake. Was a great story overall, gameplay did let it down and annoyed me but not enough to stop it. No idea what to play next. Anyone play that Vampyr game? I've had that sitting on my playstation for agessssssss
Demon of the Fall 07.14.23	'I admit, I had a lot of fun with Poke Scarlet. Completed the dex and started seriously playing competitive for the first time ever' would you recommend looking up 'where to go' for balancing reasons, or do you think the game is better played by just messing around / doing whatever you feel like? You see, I already KNOW what the 2nd gym should be (only completed Bug thus far) yet the placement of certain quest markers doesn't seem wholly logical and I've also bumped into a few higher level Pokes by accident (I just use a Poke doll and retreat rather than attempt catching anything when this happens). Game is bad for my 'let's do every tiny thing in the most logical order possible', not to mention the meticulous team-planning I usually do
Zig 07.14.23	Dark Souls 3. finally i'm going to finish the Souls series including the original Demon's Souls.
Wildcardbitchesss 07.14.23	Vampyr is very good. Combat feels like Bloodborne-lite. Story is strong, you can make your main character the nicest guy in the world or the biggest piece of shit, which is kinda cool. Ending is kinda whack tho, no matter what choices you make. Still recommend it just go in knowing itâ€™s a budget title with some weird design choices.
Wildcardbitchesss 07.14.23	Returnal is absolutely kicking my ass now though. I thought I was making alot of progress but Iâ€™ve hit a brick wall with Biomes 4 and 5.
Shemson 07.14.23	I played Vampyr years ago It had a lot of decent ideas but ultimately became very same-y and then it was over and I never felt like playing again Iâ€™m thoroughly enjoying Dark Souls after Elden Ring got me to check DS3 which was outstanding
Wildcardbitchesss 07.14.23	Yeah the combat is fine and some of the abilities are cool but none are super memorable. Still enjoy the game tho, and if they already own it might as well give it a shot
Shemson 07.14.23	Yeah I think the fact you can impact everyone elseâ€™s survival and that directly impacted your skill tree and the world around you was cool, it just never really developed into a great finale if I remember it (which I donâ€™t that well) It was interesting morally that the more people you saved/spared the harder it was to play because if you murdered people you levelled up your strength
nearly746 07.14.23	Started a new PS Plus account yesterday since i don't like that I have some shovelware platinums and unfinished trophy lists on my account, so i'm currently working on Shadow Of Mordor Game Of The Year Edition
Shemson 07.14.23	That was a quality game! Loved both those two games, they were great fun
nearly746 07.14.23	To me it's just in the middle, but I feel like in this day and age there can be no such thing as just a "meh" game. Everything's either great or awful - look at the reception to Forspoken and Redfall, both of which are objectively fine experiences but do nothing special nor nothing absolutely wretched. Shadow of Mordor is too derivative, and feels like a typical Ubisoft open world with a lot of bloat but very little of substance, but I still like it enough
Veldin 07.14.23	Just finished FF XVI !
nearly746 07.14.23	"Just finished FF XVI ! " Nice, how was it? Is it as "hold forward to complete, watch cutscene" as people are saying online?
Veldin 07.14.23	Haha kindaâ€¦Thereâ€™s like 12 hours of cutscenes or something crazy. I really enjoyed the story/characters and especially enjoyed the kinetic combat, which by the end of the game you feel like a powerhouse. I think itâ€™s absolutely worth checking out the stunning demo to see if youâ€™ll dig it. Been playing the Final Fantasy Pixe Remasters on PS5. Finished 1-4 (IV is so good omg) so Iâ€™m gonna move onto 5 next. Working my way towards 6, which Iâ€™ve never played and has been on my gaming bucket list for years
nearly746 07.14.23	Isn't the combat just a toned down DMC combat?
auberginedreams 07.14.23	Now that I finally released the music Iâ€™ve been working on and have a break from work Iâ€™m gonna be playing FF16 and Zelda since I actually have some time to play games again. Also just bought Octopath Traveler 2 since it was on sale for Prime day.
someone 07.17.23	Been playing Overcooked with the missus and it's the most frustrating and addicting thing ever. Also been playing It Takes Two with her and having the same feelings about it. Love both and also hate them passionately.
botb 07.17.23	Playing through FFXVI as well right now and i have mixed feelings about it overall so far but itâ€™s definitely fun
s0nicx 07.17.23	Finishing up P3Fes and am now working on 100%ing P4G.
botb 07.18.23	Man p3 is so fucking good, never played 4
PotsyTater 07.18.23	Overcooked is amazing
Storm In A Teacup 07.18.23	Buffy the Vampire Slayer S3 disc 3
SMOKEDOPE 07.18.23	super mario 64 cause what other game you need !!!!!!!!!!!
bellovddd 07.18.23	Just jumped back on the first Spider-man game on ps4. Shits amazing.
protokute 07.18.23	Decided to get Diablo 3........... Decided to give it a try after playing Torchlight 2
bellovddd 07.18.23	anyone ever play the mad max game? shit is so much fun.
bloc 07.18.23	Battlebit "anyone ever play the mad max game? shit is so much fun." And yes, very underrated single player game. I beat it last year for the first time.
bellovddd 07.18.23	i still haven't finished it. Its such a fun game. love the open world of it. Great maps.
pizzamachine 07.18.23	Playing the Arkham series
bellovddd 07.18.23	those games are badass
Shemson 07.18.23	Storm - I have watched that seven series box set front to back at least six times ðŸ¤£
protokute 07.18.23	Arkham Asylum rules hard. I remember absolutely loving the immersion on the first game.
4N4LB34D5 07.18.23	just got into the persona series in january with 5, blew through that, strikers, and p4g, and am now making my way through p5r. i can't believe i've slept on this series for so long. i'm fucking obsessed!!! soooooooo excited for the p3 remake also it is an absolute fucking travesty that they replaced 'last surprise' with 'take over' for ambushes in p5r. that song is ASS
AsleepInTheBack 07.18.23	Gone on a Isaac binge recently as didnâ€™t realise that Repentance was a thing Still slogging through Tears of the Kingdom unreasonably large game but funsies
s0nicx 07.18.23	@botb: Highly recommend it. Story is great.
naughtcturnal 07.19.23	Put an unreasonable amount of hours into Minecraft in the past couple of days. Never realized how fun it was until finding friends to play with
TheTripP 07.19.23	about 81% through Blasphemous now, almost gave up on it at first but really happy I kept at it... for some reason My first main boss (not tutorial boss) took me on and off around like 4 hours, but after that every boss after has taken 1-3 tries, excited for the second! It also makes me want to try the Dark Souls series again
zakalwe 07.19.23	Baldurs Gate 3 just a couple of weeks away now. Iâ€™ll go all in on it and potentially itâ€™ll close the door on my game playing days but who knows. Anyone play the early access of it? Any good?
Ryus 07.19.23	sekiro. the combat is very cool. honestly ive found it easier than DS1 so far but im sure thatll change lol
Hyperion1001 07.19.23	i wanna play baldurs gate so bad. divinity OSII might be my favorite rpg and baldurs gate looks like that game on steroids.
zakalwe 07.19.23	Divinity II was hard as fuck, enjoyable though. It terms of replay-ability I much preferred Pillars of Eternity I and II
Hyperion1001 07.19.23	turn based is the best format for an RPG and no one can change my mind on that.
zakalwe 07.19.23	Yeah agreed on that one, shame that fell a bit flat on Deadfire due to 20min drawn out battles with a group of low level beetles or some such. Laborious as fuck.
protokute 07.19.23	I'm really interested to try Divinity 2, but as someone not really familiar with turn based RPGs, I don't know how much I'll end up digging it.
Hyperion1001 07.19.23	im playing a lot of this very fun indie autobattler called mechabellum. itâ€™s basically mechwarrior but as a turn based autobattler.
4N4LB34D5 07.19.23	i really, really wanted to get into divinity II, but i just got so sick of fucking EVERYTHING being on fire during every single encounter. i do plan on giving it another shot though. there must be some solution that i just haven't figured out yet
Hyperion1001 07.19.23	the AoE rain spell is essential on every single class. the blood rain will also turn fire into steam. Then you just throw a lightning grenade in the steam and watch your enemies fry ðŸ˜Ž
zakalwe 07.19.23	Characters in Divinity II are great. Last RPG I played was pathfinder, the character creation is amazing but the npc party members were absolutely intolerable. Binned it.
4N4LB34D5 07.19.23	oooooooo that's good to know! i don't think i even knew that spell existed
WatchItExplode 07.19.23	Baldur's gate 3 looks like it's going to be the kind of game you can play for the rest of your life. I only played original sin one but it was pretty amazing. Been playing Diablo for lately and went back to Elden Ring to give myself a bit of a break
Wildcardbitchesss 07.19.23	god damn Jedi Survivors performance is bad. I want to like this game so much but not being able to hold a stable 60 fps after however many patches is fucking ridiculous
Emim 07.19.23	I'm back on minecraft for the moment. Never did a 100% legit hard world so currently working on that.
someone 07.26.23	Finished Mass Effect 3 Never realised how shit consoles actually are. Like this crap is so shit to use, I barely got through the game. Had to turn down the difficulty even. How tf do you aim? Are all console shooters like this? PC should probably remain the one reasonable outlet for shooters and such or anything that requires precision
Pikazilla 07.26.23	it takes a while to get used to thumbsticks yes why didn't you just get the mass effect collection on steam?
loveisamixtape 07.26.23	lots of rocket league and d4. took a break from totk but have almost beaten that too 90 hours in. katana zero sometimes lately too
someone 07.26.23	cause i remember enjoying ME2 and just got an xbox game pass and it had ME3 one of these days i'll get around to ME1 finally
Pikazilla 07.26.23	ME1 is different to the first two, especially combat wise 2 overall is my favourite, 3 is kinda all over the place because the ending really depends on the shit you did in the previous games
Demon of the Fall 07.27.23	ME2 > ME1 >>>>> ME3 yeah ME2's combat is better than 1s, but RPG / world / character-wise both are excellent games and obliterate 3 into tiny pieces
bellovddd 07.27.23	ME 1 and 2 were really good I thought. just started gta5 online again, shit gets out of hand lol.
heyadam 07.29.23	Highly recommend Paranormasight if you are into mystery/horror-lite visual novels. Fun story with interesting mechanics and a really cool art style. Picked it up yesterday for $20 and def think itâ€™s worth the price
zakalwe 07.29.23	Bought Baldurs Gate 3 to see how it would run and appraise myself of the different character classes and what have you before itâ€™s full release next week. Fucking hell, it has absolutely massive potential. Amazing.
ToSmokMuzyki 07.30.23	WITH MY WEINER
Wildcardbitchesss 07.30.23	oof Mass Effect 3 is my favorite these days.
PotsyTater 07.30.23	Pikmon 4
Mort. 07.30.23	playing Inscryption
ffs 07.30.23	inscryption rules
Mort. 07.30.23	hell yeah it does got to the final stage of kaycees mod last night. trying to do a run with all difficulty modifiers active. fucking hell its difficult
ffs 07.30.23	oh yeah skullstorm. i beat that, took me a lot of tries cause the rng can be brutal. my strat was moose deck and keep the black goat as your only 1 blood card so you always draw it. fill the rest of you deck with thicc fuckers. my winning run was with a mushroomed moose with bifurcated which i had the slime guy duplicate. also you pretty much always need pack rat before the 1st boss so you can farm scissors, hourglasses are also useful
Mort. 07.30.23	ooooh that sounds like a good tactic. ive been trying to do it with the mantis deck cos that carried me so very far, but im just getting destroyed by the bears most of the time. hadnt thought about farming good items, nice tip.
pizzamachine 07.30.23	Just kicked Galactus ass I am ultimate nerd
Scheumke 07.30.23	Finally got addicted to Civilization VI this week. Have had it on my laptop for years but only played it a little here and there. But damn once you actually really get into it, it's got amazing depth without it becoming too much.
Wildcardbitchesss 07.30.23	Been meaning to check it out for a while now. Iâ€™ve had it since whenever it was free on epic but havenâ€™t even opened it yet
Shemson 07.30.23	Playing Dark Souls 2 SOTFS for the first time after doing ER, DS3 and DS1 I had heard it was the worst by a distance but Iâ€™m loving it so far I think areas are harder but I noticed enemies stop respawning after you kill them a load of times which is really useful
PotsyTater 07.30.23	Yes ds2 scholar rules
Shemson 07.30.23	I just got to this pirate area and got jumped by some mad monkey arm things ðŸ¤£ Enjoying it, really doesnâ€™t feel too dissimilar to the other games
PotsyTater 07.30.23	Those fucking spider things are one of the scariest monsters of any dark souls game. Love that area.
Mort. 07.30.23	ds2 is the only one i havent done the dlc for and it pains me cos im such a fromsoft fanboy but jesus christ i dont find that game fun for the most part
naughtcturnal 07.31.23	Started the Castlevania Advance Collection. About a quarter way through Circle of the Moon. Love the Metroidvania-style Castlevania games
Shemson 07.31.23	Yo that pirate area was hard af until the boss who was a bit lame I think so far the areas are harder because there are more mobs who will swarm you but the bosses are a let down Just found the bonfire after a little boat ride to a prison areaâ€¦ praying those jailers from ds3 arenâ€™t here
zakalwe 07.31.23	Christ, Dark Souls 2 The most disappointing game of all time. Iâ€™ve heard good things about the DLC but just couldnâ€™t bring myself to slog through it again. Bloody farcical compared to DS1 and III Sekiro as well, just an out and out slog with hardly any redeeming features bar the combat. Elden Ring definitely turned things around, a great game.
Shemson 07.31.23	To be fair if the rest of the game is like the pirate area I just left I can see how it becomes a slog but I really enjoyed Forest Of Fallen Giants and Hiedes Tower
Pikazilla 07.31.23	'Started the Castlevania Advance Collection. About a quarter way through Circle of the Moon. Love the Metroidvania-style Castlevania games' All three games are fantabulous!
Shemson 07.31.23	Elden Ring was outstanding of course yeah and the reason I got to fall in loved with DS1 and DS3 - I saved DS2 because of all the negative press it gets
Mort. 07.31.23	sekiro is a slog? lol skill issue get good
unclereich 07.31.23	ncaa 14 on ps3 fat
Ryus 07.31.23	i liked ds1 more than sekiro but sekiro isnt a slog at all in fact i found it easier than ds1 for whatever reason
Purpl3Spartan 07.31.23	Battlebit m/

Goodolboy 08.01.23	Doom 64
bellovddd 08.01.23	restarted RE3 remake again. shits so much fun
ConcubinaryCode 08.01.23	Yeah, that game gets way too much shit. Nemi3 fight I couldn't get passed on inferno tho
bellovddd 08.01.23	i am loving it again. super hard in some parts but real good fun
zaruyache 08.01.23	playing remnant 2 lessgo
PotsyTater 08.01.23	â€œ ds2 is the only one i havent done the dlc for and it pains me cos im such a fromsoft fanboyâ€ Thatâ€™s fucked up, ds2 dlc is iconic. Just get the scholar edition man itâ€™s like a completely unique play through. Beyond the dlc inclusion, lots of enemy placements are different. It may change your tune plus ur not a fromsoft chad until youâ€™ve beaten the ds2 dlc anyways so thatâ€™s kind of a huge L you have to endure until you just do it anyways
PotsyTater 08.01.23	â€œ Yo that pirate area was hard af until the boss who was a bit lame I think so far the areas are harder because there are more mobs who will swarm you but the bosses are a let downâ€ Cool boss design and set, but too easy yes. But consider him the Capra demon of ds2. Youâ€™ll know what I mean eventually. Anyways you have some boss fights that make up for it on the horizon, especially the dlc
zaruyache 08.01.23	the new DS2LightingEngine mod apparently makes ds2 look much better too, so that's worth looking into if you're on PC. Zerolenny played with it in his stream yesterday and it made the whole game look so much better.
Shemson 08.01.23	I agree on Resi 3. I think it got over-criticised because it was very similar to resi 2 apart from a couple of extra enemies/combat moves and it was too short and shouldnâ€™t have cut the clock tower but what it gave us was great fun and I think the best action based RE experience. A solid 7 or 8 out of 10, just not quite the 9 or 10 that I thought RE2 was
Shemson 08.01.23	Nice one Pots, looking forward to some better bosses and if this was the Capra moment then I guess shits about to get real!
someone 08.01.23	Tunic would have been the cutest game out there, if not for how annoying it is to get around and have the enemies respawn.
Purpl3Spartan 08.01.23	Been playing Witcher 3 tryna finish up my first play through and recently got this interesting souls-like game called â€œclash: artifacts of chaosâ€ And battlebit ofc
Mort. 08.01.23	'Thatâ€™s fucked up, ds2 dlc is iconic. Just get the scholar edition man itâ€™s like a completely unique play through. Beyond the dlc inclusion, lots of enemy placements are different. It may change your tune plus ur not a fromsoft chad until youâ€™ve beaten the ds2 dlc anyways so thatâ€™s kind of a huge L you have to endure until you just do it anyways' honestly ive always wondered if i just suck at making ds2 builds cos i got to the dlc and was getting my ass beat and not doing enough damage
GhandhiLion 08.01.23	The talos principle
protokute 08.01.23	I think DS2 is my favorite Dark Souls game. The DLC is tough af though
Scheumke 08.01.23	I've been playing every fromsoft like gospel for the last couple of years and DS2 is still the only one I cannot get into. It just feels so much more clunky and I find myself going back to another one consistently a couple of hours in. Tried it for like 3 or 4 times now and I feel I'm missing out but it's just not for me I guess.
BaselineOOO 08.01.23	Kuon (2004). In the process of finishing the game for the second time on YangPhase. Probably the greatest horror game I ever played. From Software is GOAT.
RadioSuicide 08.01.23	Iâ€™ve put more time into RE3R than RE2R, though I do concede the latter is superior. Can speed run 3 in 4ish hours at this point. Great game. Mostly just been playing D4 and Overwatch- Iâ€™m closing in on 1k hours across OW1 and 2, 250ish just with Ana
BaselineOOO 08.01.23	RadioSuicide wanna play some OW together sometime? I'm Diamond 2, mostly Moira, Mercy and different tanks.
Shemson 08.02.23	The area after the pirate bit where you start in a prison was the opposite! Much easier area but the boss the Ruin Sentinel was much harder The only thing hard about the area was that boss I killed who got dropped off by an eagle keeps showing up in smoke and then buggering off again once Iâ€™ve moved to a better area to fight himâ€¦ very annoying
PotsyTater 08.02.23	I love that area. There are so many secrets and angles to approach it from. And yes, pursuer gonna pursue. I think eventually you can kill him again and then he goes bye bye forever iirc
MillionDead 08.02.23	Back on my Elden Ring BS. Thinking about respecing from int dex to faith dex
Shemson 08.02.23	Yeah Potsy I discovered blowing up a wall to a secret bonfire by total accident after some big lad kicked a barrel after me and it blew up a wall ðŸ¤£ Wonâ€™t play for a day or two now as too busy but so far I think DS2 gets too unfair a rep
Shemson 08.02.23	MillionDead - Iâ€™ve never had the patience to try any kind of magic build I did a strength build with high faith for blasphemous blade weapon art and healing in my off hand but magic always felt lame and repetitive to me
PotsyTater 08.03.23	@shem just up the stairs from that bonfire and to the right there is a dog hiding in a corridor. On the left is a gap and then a door below you on the opposite wall that looks seemingly impossible to get to. Once youâ€™ve opened that door thatâ€™s your shortcut to ruin sentinels! You just have to roll off the ledge towards it and you will land yourself in the doorway if you do it correctly!
Mort. 08.03.23	'Wonâ€™t play for a day or two now as too busy but so far I think DS2 gets too unfair a rep' youre not that far yet so wait a while tbh i think the best part of ds2 is some of the earlier areas
FREETHEGUYS 08.03.23	doom 2 > ds2 no lieâ€¦
pizzamachine 08.03.23	Just beat the Dragonrider lols, pretty easy
Shemson 08.03.23	Yeah Potsy I actually worked that out thanks to a note on the floor saying â€˜shortcut!â€™ when I picked up an item by the bit you drop from and then almost walked out of the door into nothingness first time I cleared the room Ruin Sentinals took a few attempts so I was very happy to have found that shortcut!
Shemson 08.03.23	That true Mort, definitely not at a stage I can pass judgement yet, long way to go Iâ€™m sure as Iâ€™m only eleven hours in!

zakalwe 08.03.23	Gathering me party to venture forth today.
Get Low 08.03.23	I've been downloading and playing various roguelike games. The recent popularity of roguelikes has (unfortunately) rekindled my interest in gaming. I thought I was done for good when all the open world cringe became popular.
BaselineOOO 08.03.23	Wtf is a roguelike game?
Get Low 08.03.23	unsure if rhetorical question but it's a game where you start over from the beginning when you die
Purpl3Spartan 08.03.23	Risk of rain 2 m/// Any hype for blasphemous 2?
Pikazilla 08.03.23	yes yes yes
BaselineOOO 08.03.23	"unsure if rhetorical question but it's a game where you start over from the beginning when you die" Need some clarification with that. So, if my PC crashes during any game and I forget to save progress, it becomes a roguelike once I launch the game again? And if I don't it becomes a Schrodinger's catlike?
BaselineOOO 08.03.23	"Any hype for blasphemous 2?" A little bit actually!
Ectier 08.03.23	Deadcells is a great one
Mort. 08.03.23	examples of roguelikes - dead cells, hades, slay the spire, the binding of isaac 'Roguelike (or rogue-like) is a subgenre of role-playing computer games traditionally characterized by a dungeon crawl through procedurally generated levels, turn-based gameplay, grid-based movement, and permanent death of the player character'. thats wikipedia. i would ignore part of what it says. roguelikes are generally 'run' based games where each run is procedurally generated leading to very different runs. get low's explanation of it being 'a game where you start over from the beginning when you die' is dogshit and misleading cos that covers a whole era of classic games that most definitely arent roguelikes.
someone 08.03.23	Hey you know what? Titanfall 2 is a really really fun game, campaign or multiplayer
Scheumke 08.03.23	Blasphemous 1 is just 6 euros on the ps store right now so I just bought it and gonna boot it up now. Trailers and stuff looked cool so lets gooo
Get Low 08.03.23	@Mort I was giving a half-ass explanation, seconds before passing out for the night, to someone who I now know was trolling. Cut me some slack. I would have otherwise given a thorough explanation as you have done.
DungeonBoy 08.03.23	Blasphemous 1 was awesome, stoked for the sequel.
Mort. 08.03.23	'Mort I was giving a half-ass explanation, seconds before passing out for the night, to someone who I now know was trolling. Cut me some slack. I would have otherwise given a thorough explanation as you have done.' i will give u some slack u lovely lil fella, i forgive you xxx

JayEnder 08.03.23	Currently having a lot of fun with the Sly Cooper trilogy. Sly 2 is one of the best games I've ever played, loved it.
Get Low 08.03.23	DungeonBoy do you like dungeon-crawlers?
Wildcardbitchesss 08.04.23	hell yeah jay. I really wanted Sony to treat it like Crash and remake them for PS5. I fucking loved those games as a kid.
BaselineOOO 08.04.23	Remember to use the Compactor tool on Baldur's Gate 3 folder to save about 10gb of disk space for no performance cost.

zakalwe 08.06.23	Blimey. Baldurs Gate 3 is absolutely amazing.
Hyperion1001 08.06.23	I wanna play bg3 so bad but my shitty computer just canâ€™t handle it.
zakalwe 08.06.23	Faff about with the settings and I reckon itâ€™ll manage it. My computer is imac with bootcamp and Iâ€™m running it alright. 2500x1440p on high with a bit of rejigging because for some reason I havenâ€™t worked out yet how to get 1080p. Itâ€™s not an option??
Wildcardbitchesss 08.06.23	got ps plus extra I think itâ€™s called. Finally playing the Control DLCs since I know one of them is linked to Alan Wake. Hyped asf for Alan Wake 2, game looks incredible.
zakalwe 08.09.23	I cannot believe how good Baldurs Gate 3 is.
protokute 08.09.23	can't wait to finally have some time to try it, zak! I think I'm gonna give Inscryption another try! Tried playing it once, but I didn't dig it, and honestly, it's probably because i didn't understand the deck rules.
Wildcardbitchesss 08.09.23	Tried out Demons Souls, and man Iâ€™m sorry but that game is ass. I liked Bloodborne and loved Sekiro but never gave any of the souls games a shot. I might try to see if I can rent Elden Ring somewhere because that game is still like almost full price everywhere
Piglet 08.09.23	can confirm battlebit gud

Wildcardbitchesss 08.13.23	NFS Unbound. Online is kinda whack but Iâ€™m having fun playing solo Sniper Elite 5 too, these games are good but man if they just made the character animation and graphics better, and made it a solid narrative these games could be fucking masterpieces. But what they are is the shit that I play when I have plus extra for a month.
ToSmokMuzyki 08.13.23	gonna play sum smash bros' jk with my wiener again

pjquinones747 08.17.23	been on Baldurs Gate 3 and Dark Souls 3 at the same time. quite a fun combined challenge.
Wildcardbitchesss 08.17.23	I really wanna give Baldurs Gate 3 a shot but it looks similar to Divinity and that game really just couldnâ€™t keep my attention.
zakalwe 08.17.23	I enjoyed Divinity and there are similarities but Baldurs Gate 3 absolutely smashes it in every department. Iâ€™m still in Act 1 and it is without question one of the greatest games of all time.
Jots 08.17.23	^ what class are you running?
zakalwe 08.17.23	I went with Gale for my first playthrough just to get a feel for the thing and I definitely donâ€™t regret me choice. I have no doubt whatsoever I will replay this a number of times
Wildcardbitchesss 08.17.23	Maybe Iâ€™ll dust off my PC and give it a shot then. Probably gonna watch some gameplay videos but I really wanna avoid spoilers.

Hyperion1001 08.18.23	got back into fortnite. idc what anyone says, itâ€™s extremely fun and a true postmodern hellscape that is very funny and entertaining.
Feather 08.18.23	The GBC Pokemon Trading Card Game just dropped on the switch and I am fully addicted. Shockingly good game that I actually lose some battles.
MoM 08.18.23	Currently playing Destroy All Humans
MoM 08.18.23	And twisted metal 2
Wildcardbitchesss 08.18.23	damn why didnâ€™t twisted metal get a modern game Black was the shit when I was younger
loveisamixtape 08.18.23	been playing Stray and i am currently downloading bomb rush cyber funk
MillionDead 08.18.23	So I beat Elden Ring after nearly 200 hours and I've been dicking around in ng+ but I'm genuinely unsure how to move on with my life from here. A nice story based RPG type thing would be cool, but idk any that I haven't played.
naughtcturnal 08.18.23	Currently finishing up Killer Frequency, a really cool 80â€™s horror themed adventure/puzzle (?) game where you play the role of a radio host trying to stop a serial killer from killing people in a small shithole town Just also finished Return to Monkey Island and I loved it (am huge fan of the series) aaaaand playing tons of Quake II remastered
ConcubinaryCode 08.18.23	I just got the platinum in dead island 2 ama. I only played it cuz my gf was too scared to play by herself but was surprised it wasn't dogshit. It's just kinda mediocre. Starting Quake 1 speaking of the quake 2 remaster. Ps5 has gyro controls lol
Sharenge 08.18.23	>tfw still a PS4 boy
Get Low 08.19.23	There's a new Twisted Metal tv show that actually looks pretty good
Storm In A Teacup 08.19.23	I made it through thew first few missions of Halo 4 legendary half the skulls on with relative ease but now im dying 200 times and taking 3 hours to get through a level lol
Storm In A Teacup 08.19.23	I dont even play 3 hours at a time so in real life it takes me 3 days for 1 mission grr argh
Wildcardbitchesss 08.19.23	Million this is the obvious one I feel like but on the off chance you havenâ€™t been played them, the Mass Effect trilogy. Iâ€™m also giving the Witcher 3 one last shot now after putting in probably 20 hours over two previous play throughs Also Cyberpunk has that new DLC in like a month. Maybe give Citizen Sleeper a shot? Itâ€™s point and click but I think it checks all your boxes.
Azazzel 08.19.23	anybody play Pentiment? curious what class traits others picked and how it played out. kinda want to do a Name of the Rose LARP as a skeptic well versed in theology latin and rhetoric
MillionDead 08.19.23	I appreciate the suggestions, Wild. ME is a favorite series of mine. Back when Bioware was still in their golden era. Been thinking about giving the Legendary Edition a run though. Even though I've played those games so much that I nearly know them like the back of my hand all these years later. I haven't beat Witcher 3, I think I was at the point that I nearly finished the story and quit for some reason, maybe I didn't want it to be over? And there's the dlc I never touched too, so there's a great candidate. Citizen Sleeper looks VERY interesting. I'm all for a more stripped down gameplay with those complex themes.
BAT 08.19.23	been fuckin with the quake 2 remaster here and there, if you see a tabv_v in the lobby at like 4am its probably me, see some minor mod support like instagib but i'm hoping stuff like actionquake2[proto counterstrike] gets support. i used to play a ton during the gamespy arcade days, so stoked to see a community pop up for it again. otherwise : just beat avgn adventures, on the 2nd one. almost done with castlevania rondo of blood and picked up advance collection. still on a survival horror kick and been playing signalis[banger] and resident evil zero[uneven.] just got the cat ears in rem4ke so just need to do the no healing/no merch/pistol runs to get the full platnium. haven't messed with mercenaries that much but planning to continue playing thru all the resident evils i've missed over the past decade(rev2/2and3remakes) and evil within 2. will probably jump over to dead space remake when i've platinum'd 4. and and i never got around to playing mass effect 3, i've got the hd trilogy rerelease but might just pop in the ps3 disc and continue my old save from 2. i also picked up andromena for like 4 bux so might give that a chance
MillionDead 08.20.23	I actually started Pentiment on Game Pass specifically because of Azzazel and I LOVE it. Very quirky crpg vibes. I love how itâ€™s mostly just a dialogue sim where you can get wrapped up in the story and the characters and the choices. Itâ€™s a complete gem and pretty much stress free, compared to some action oriented thing. Not feels-free though, which is a good thing.
protokute 08.20.23	killer frequency sounds cool
naughtcturnal 08.20.23	finished it yesterday. it was awesome
MoM 08.20.23	â€œ damn why didnâ€™t twisted metal get a modern gameâ€ For real! Hoping with that new show Get Low mentioned, renewed interest in a game will come about and spawn a new game
Get Low 08.20.23	Me too. I could go for some online multiplayer.
MoM 08.20.23	Smae! That would be so fucking sick
Storm In A Teacup 08.24.23	Took half a day off work and about to take another day off work and am 6 hours into a new playthrough of Dragon Age 3 Inquisition. Seems heavily updated since my first playthrough. I am a female qunari mage. ðŸ‘€
Brabiz 08.25.23	Just replayed The Darkness for the first time in like 12 years and i think itâ€™s my favorite game. Holds up so well and is such a great adaptation of an awesome comic series.
zaruyache 08.25.23	started playing Armored Core but there's too many buttons and it was a bad idea to get a little buzzy beforehand because now I have a headache.
MeatSalad 08.25.23	Baldur's Gate 3 is so fuckin good goddamn. Karlach best companion
bloc 08.25.23	BG3 hype is getting to me, so now I'm playing Divinity 2 from scratch
zakalwe 08.25.23	Agreed Meat sheâ€™s a good old girl.
Shemson 08.25.23	I finished my Dark Souls journey now, having played ER, DS3, DS1 and DS2 back to back The only break I had was during journey 2 and 3 of ER I ran through RE4 remake once so now Iâ€™m all Fromsoftâ€™d out Iâ€™m gonna spend some time properly enjoying RE4 as it was very enjoyable first time round!
Gameofmetal 08.25.23	Always start wanting to replay old favorites later in the year so doing a witcher 3 replay since they did a current gen update, still incredibly satisfying.
Spec 08.25.23	You guys talking about dark souls and boulders gate and here I am playing forbidden west, finding it frustrating as shit.
Wildcardbitchesss 08.25.23	I really want to like it but I canâ€™t get through Witcher 3. The combat is just so trash. Gonna start up the newest Tomb Raider tonight since it evidently got a PS5 patch. On a side note seriously fuck Sony for not making a PS5 version of Bloodborne. That game in 4K 60 FPS would be so ridiculously good.
Wildcardbitchesss 08.25.23	Forbidden West is so good spec, maybe turn the difficulty down a notch.
Shemson 08.25.23	More like fuck fromsoft for making Bloodborne a Sony exclusive when I only have Xbox :( I loved the Witcher 3, it was probably my favourite ever game before Elden Ring which introduced me to Dark Souls
Spec 08.25.23	Itâ€™s the endless side quests maaaaan.
Gameofmetal 08.25.23	The combat is definitely low depth in W3 but it's never bothered me particularly. The world and writing are just too perfect, fits like a glove every time I come back.
Pikazilla 08.25.23	penitent one let's go the world needs you again
Wildcardbitchesss 08.26.23	sounds like you just donâ€™t care for the gameplay loop spec, which is totally cool. But I really couldnâ€™t get enough of that game. Honestly my favorite PS5 game behind Ragnarok. And on the Witcher, I really just donâ€™t usually care for fantasy settings most of the time. It really needed good combat for me to get hooked on it. Like, the original Mass Effect has shit gameplay but I donâ€™t really care because I think sci fi stuff is way more interesting. Really, the only â€œfantasyâ€ lore I could get into was GoT and even that ended up sucking in the end. And i guess God of War, but again, has incredible gameplay.
Minortimbo12 08.26.23	Just got done playing rock band 3
Veldin 08.26.23	ARMORED CORE VI
tellah 08.26.23	God of War Ragnarok (dope), NBA2K22, some Rocket League with the fellas
Colton28 08.26.23	bout to buy my first 4k tv, 55 inches should be nice for ps5 games
BaselineOOO 08.26.23	I'm not crazy about Armored Core. DS and their other games grew on me but, man, this is a boys fetish game for sure.
Sharenge 08.26.23	mech fetish?
naughtcturnal 08.27.23	Anyone here play Dead Cells? Just Picked up the Return to Castlevania editiom on switch last week and have been putting in an abusive amount of hours.
heyadam 08.28.23	Having a ton of fun with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
TheTripP 08.28.23	back to DS talk, on the Four Kings part (first playthrough) and got molly whopped, so started exploring and finding new interconnected shortcuts along the map to help with my second run, enjoying it more and more as I play
MillionDead 08.28.23	I beat Pentiment. Very interesting story. I'm thinking of getting into Signalis next. Haven't done a survival horror in years.
naughtcturnal 08.28.23	Signalis is pretty cool
PotsyTater 08.28.23	Blasphemous 2 Also yeah dead cells was really good for what it is but I donâ€™t get a tonne of replay value out of rogue-likes personally. I get bored. Still one of the best in the genre
frozencarl 08.28.23	blasphemous 2 is out? oh shit oh shit oh shit
Minortimbo12 08.28.23	Yoo but omg I cant get enough of luigis mansion tbh
heyadam 08.31.23	started Octopath II on ps5 and itâ€™s gorgeous
Wildcardbitchesss 08.31.23	I really got play those Blasphemous games. I get â€œdark souls but 2Dâ€ vibes from it And Iâ€™ve been playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider and itâ€™s greatâ€¦ but the gameplay is kind of shit. Specifically the way guns handle. Itâ€™s like it hasnâ€™t evolved at all from the first one, the first reboot I mean. Itâ€™s from 2018 but it plays like itâ€™s a decade older. Hopefully they fix that for the new gen game theyâ€™re making. Playing NFS Unbound in between and the driving feels great but Iâ€™m supposedly not even half way through and Iâ€™ve been racing on the same tracks for a while just with faster cars. I donâ€™t really see why this couldnâ€™t have been made on PS4/XBOXOne. The game isnt really that good looking and the open world is not large at all. More track variation wouldâ€™ve done this game wonders. And thereâ€™s no reason for ASAP to be in the game. Itâ€™s not that I just donâ€™t like his music but he barely pops up at all, and when he does he repeats the same lines over and over. He couldnâ€™t have been in the sound booth for more than an hour tops. The trailers made him out to be a main character but it just comes across as a gimmick
Dewinged 08.31.23	"Dewi, can you remind us of your involvement in RE? " Oooops so i completely overlooked this. Sorry. I took care of the Spanish localization of the game, which is what I normally do but this time, since the game is set in Spain, I also helped building a whole new setting, re-worked the enemy lines (so they spoke in Spanish and not in some sort of broken form Spanglish), etc, etc. very happy with the result, looking back now, and I'm glad to see it did well, critic wise. And what am I playing now, currently trying unsuccesfully to rank up in SFV while I grind bounties in Diablo 3 (going for both plats).
Sharenge 08.31.23	just did RE7 for the first time... was alright... little overhyped I think based on the amount of critical acclaim and hype my recollection tells me it received p good overall tho I guess - maybe should have a go on a harder difficulty... was actually quite easy looking back (spent all my coins on the magnum and then never even fired a single shot with it lol)
Wildcardbitchesss 08.31.23	I really got to check out the RE4 remake, I played RE2 and 3, didnâ€™t really care for them much but Iâ€™ve heard from a lot of people that this is the best of the bunch, plus, if Iâ€™m not mistaken, it practically invented the third person over the shoulder that we all know today.
Sharenge 08.31.23	dawggy play the OG
bellovddd 08.31.23	RE4 is an amazing game. no idea they released a remake of it. I feel like RE4 was the first real action game of the series.
TheTripP 08.31.23	RE4 is my favorite game of all time, and the remake does very well to come close to the OG. Well worth a playthrough
BaselineOOO 09.05.23	Armored Core VI blew my mind, and now it's maybe my favorite game from FromSoftware. I gotta admit, in the first few hours, I was kinda iffy about it... it felt sooo nerdy and truncated. But then, something clicked with the combat, badass bosses kept showing up, the soundtrack started to reveal itself, and the story evolved into one of the best I've ever witnessed. I always thought mechs are for losers, but I guess I've secretly always been a mech fan (and a loser?), I main D.Va in Overwatch afterall. I'm literally in love with Carla, Walter, Rusty and Ayre. I'd romance them without a second thought.
zakalwe 09.05.23	Armoured Core looks far too full on for my liking. Far too old to be playing stuff at a million mph. Currently Act III of Baldurs Gate. Encountered a bug where I canâ€™t get the hag to cough up the child which is bloody disappointing. Asterions quest was superb. Unbelievable game. Absolute classic.
protokute 09.05.23	Been playing Diablo 3, gameplay is what I expected. It's been fun for the first hours, but I'm beginning to find the game very easy (on hard mode and already on act 2), I never came close to dying yet, and the gameplay loop is starting to get significantly boring and the experience, empty, it doesn't help that the story feel so childish
Wicka4392 09.05.23	Replaying Elden Ring again "just did RE7 for the first time... was alright... little overhyped I think based on the amount of critical acclaim and hype my recollection tells me it received" It did get good reviews, but not "acclaim" per se, a lot of people felt it fell off as soon as you stop dealing with the Baker family overall
Mort. 09.05.23	yeah re7 massively drops off once it moves away from the house especially the lameass mine sequence towards the end whole game could have taken place in the main house and i would have been happy sadly game is never as tense again as it is in the first 4 or so hours
Wicka4392 09.05.23	I'd even say it's more that first 2 hours. I think you're misremembering how long that game is, it's like 7 hours tops. The sections with Jack at the start and maybe Marguerite's parts were the good bits for me, but overall it's pretty boring.
Wildcardbitchesss 09.05.23	on the other handâ€¦ I gave in and bought the RE4 remake. Only got past chapter 1 last night but itâ€™s fucking phenomenal. That first fight in the village is fucking intense.
MillionDead 09.05.23	Looking to dig into Starfield tomorrow.
Wildcardbitchesss 09.05.23	Wish I had a pc that could run it, maybe when I feel like upgrading it
MillionDead 09.05.23	I'm just doing Game Pass lol
0GuyMan0 09.05.23	Held of on Armored Core 6 until I finished a new certification. downloaded last night, getting my ass kicked lol. Didn't leave myself much time before MK1 comes out but I'm stoked to dig in.
JayEnder 09.05.23	"yeah re7 massively drops off once it moves away from the house" Sadly agreed but the birthday party puzzle was pure genius.
Emim 09.05.23	Been playing Black Ops 2 zombies again lately
bellovddd 09.06.23	call of duty: world at war still was the pinnacle of Zombies in COD games. So much fun
Wildcardbitchesss 09.06.23	Iâ€™d say that goes to black ops 1. It added enough to show progression but not too much bullshit that the sequels had. Kino was incredible, Ascension was damn good, Call of the Dead, Shangri La, and Moon were damn good too. Plus it had Dead Ops Arcade.
Emim 09.06.23	Dead Ops arcade was great
SIMBOLIC 09.06.23	Starfield is wild. Got 20 hours so far and, despite some bugs (nothing approaching game breaking tho), itâ€™s awesome. Going from a lush forest planet and going to this frozen planet thatâ€™s inhabitants were murdered by dead space meets facehugger cunts was sick. Went from feeling like Skyrim to resident evil. Got some mad loot out of it though. Was very pleased to get away from that planet lol.
TheTripP 09.06.23	beat DS1 finally, about 60/70 hours of playing over the course of 2 months and it was so worth it. I know so much about that game now. I don't have DS2 yet and MK1 is out soon so souls games will probably be on hold but that was an experience
Demon of the Fall 09.06.23	I haven't got a system to play Starfield on but am interested to hear about the player reception (i.e. not just critics).
Dewinged 09.06.23	So anyone here playing SF5? I doubt it but...
Wildcardbitchesss 09.06.23	anyone see that video of the thumb headed idiot just losing his shit and crying over pronouns in starfield lol
protokute 09.06.23	no but now i want to see it
MillionDead 09.06.23	Put like 6 or 7 hours into Starfield so far, but it's kinda dry tbh. Hoping it improves. Definitely feels like a game that could have come out only a few years after Fallout 4 in 76's place. Like it's cool but is not AWESOME.
Wildcardbitchesss 09.06.23	https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/169u5is/guy_has_freakout_because_starfield_asks_your/
Wildcardbitchesss 09.06.23	The british accent only makes it funnier tbh. Itâ€™s refreshing to not see this kind of dumbass content from some American asshole
PitchforkArms 09.06.23	Starfield is pretty rad thus far. About 35 hours in
Beardog 09.06.23	League of Legends LMFAO
naughtcturnal 09.20.23	F-Zero 99 and Iâ€™m having a blast Also around 10hours into Sea of Stars and it is a really great RPG reminiscent of classics like Chrono Trigger. 100% recommend to any JRPG fan
Trebor. 09.20.23	Lies of P. Was looking forward to it for many months and it delivers. Best non Fromsoft Souls game yet
Wildcardbitchesss 09.20.23	Ragnarok is the best game on PS5 chief buy it
Anthracks 09.20.23	Playing Lies of P and itâ€™s fantabulous
ConcubinaryCode 09.21.23	I started the og Doom on Nightmare difficulty and this shit really isn't a joke. After like 2 weeks I made it to Thy Flesh Consumed and its undoubtedly one of the hardest things I've played. Enemies are just brutal and the map layouts are more tight and narrow. Inferno was actually a pretty fun episode.
someone 09.26.23	you know what? Dead Space 3 is pretty good still just finished and liked it quite a lot cons: clunky single player ugly crafting mode makes you not want to spend too much time on it human combat was a weird touch lack of new creative mosnters pros: great atmosphere backstory goes into surprisingly satisfying depths there's a lot more to do in the campaign, as it's much longer than the previous two side missions are there and they are fun some of the crafting upgrades are pretty cool, like stunning your enemies with stasis as you blast them with a flamethrower, or making them explode when you shoot a buzzsaw at them yeah, fun game. scary moments abound, but not scary overall. an admirable addition to the series, i think. i am okay with the devs going for a more relaxed tone, given they probably knew they could not top the horror of the previous two, so they just focused on lore, atmosphere, making the action combat as comfortable as possible
someone 09.26.23	if i had friends that were interested in co-op, i'd def try to play the full experience, i hear the Carver story is quite good
Sharenge 10.12.23	just started a playthrough of REmake and it kicked my ass real quick =(
Slex 10.12.23	Baldurs Gate 3, on act 2
Purpl3Spartan 10.12.23	Will be buying Lies of P and blasphemous 2 eventually. It's phasmophobia season rn tho
Wildcardbitchesss 10.12.23	villain was ass in Dead Space 3 too, but yeah, not a bad game @sharenge you talking about the RE4 Remake? That early village part is one of the most tense parts of the game. Donâ€™t give up! Pretty sure Iâ€™m close to finishing Cyberpunk. 55 hrs deep and god is this game good.
Sharenge 10.12.23	nah I'm talking about the remake of Resident Evil that was originally released on Gamecube and later went on to be remastered for everything haven't played RE4 remake, but if the original is anything to go by, yeah I do remember the initial village fight at the beginning of the game to be pretty tough for the uninitiated
bellovddd 10.12.23	YOOOO is cyberpunk worth the investment. I have mates who say its not good, but then i have mate who say it is good. should i take the plunge??
Wildcardbitchesss 10.12.23	If you have it on PS5, Series X, or PC, absolutely. I got it and the Phantom Liberty DLC for $40 I think. Worth every cent, Iâ€™m loving it
BAT 10.12.23	finally been digging into dead space remake annd : it fucking slaps. i feel like the re4 remake added more nuance to the gameplay over its original, while deadspace remake incorporates it's sequels tweaks back into the original...still after callistro it's shocking how much more depthful the combat is within the first like hour or two of the game, got more weapons in the first 2 hours than the whole callistro game. i'd say the main thing ds has over rem4ke is its sound design is fucking nuts. i wouldn't rank it over rem4ke just yet, but its 8+ at minimum.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.12.23	personally I like the RE4 remake more but theyâ€™re both killer.
VaruunZealot 10.12.23	Currently playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake now that Separate Ways is out as Ada is my favorite RE character
Wildcardbitchesss 10.12.23	Separate Ways fucking rules.
VaruunZealot 10.12.23	I haven't started it aside from to dabble a little with it, I'm replaying the main game at the moment and spending far too much time on Mercenaries.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.12.23	The main game is very slow to start aside from the village imo, and I love that. But Separate Ways starts you in the thick of it. It doesnâ€™t waste any time ramping up and I love that
VaruunZealot 10.12.23	"YOOOO is cyberpunk worth the investment. I have mates who say its not good, but then i have mate who say it is good. should i take the plunge??" Depends if you're on PC or not. I have played it on a high-spec PC and a PS5, and the PS5 experience isn't that great. It still crashes, and the 60fps mode drops far too often. On a decent PC, turn on the path tracing mode and really immerse yourself in Night City.
neekafat 10.12.23	Horizon Forbidden West is sooooo much better than HZD what the hell
Purpl3Spartan 10.12.23	Cyberpunk is pretty awesome on pc yeah. haven't snagged the dlc yet but i've only heard good things
Wildcardbitchesss 10.12.23	Cyberpunk was fine on PS5 for me but Iâ€™ve only played it since the 2.0 patch. Some FPS dips in areas with a lot going on and a couple of crashes, but I have nearly 60 hours in it. And the auto save system makes it so Ive really only been set back maybe five mins when that happens. Thatâ€™s pretty good for how much time I put into it And ya neeka, itâ€™s ridiculous how much better it is. It feels like Forbidden West is the game Zero Dawn shouldâ€™ve been. I never got the hype for the original, but Forbidden West is so fucking good
Purpl3Spartan 10.12.23	HFW completely shot itself in the foot releasing near elden ring
pjquinones747 10.12.23	FINALLY am getting good at Sekiro. got good enough at all the other Fromsoft mechanics, so i saved learning how to parry for last. grueling as fuck. also big snake
neekafat 10.12.23	"I never got the hype for the original, but Forbidden West is so fucking good" glad i am not alone in this hahaha I'm enjoying it so much! how's the DLC and yeah the elden ring timing is not great, but it's a stellar open world game all things considered
Wildcardbitchesss 10.12.23	The dlc is arguably the best part of the game imo.
VaruunZealot 10.12.23	Eh, Forbidden West was okay, but far too bloated. Like they added way too much crafting nonsense, pointless side activities, and Aloy was a bland character who just tells you how to do everything instead of letting you think for yourself. The combat was still the same as the first game, stealth first with no depth whatsoever, and it attempts to feel like an RPG without ever actually being one. The first was slightly better, but both are average. I only prefer the first because it isn't as bloated, and the story is slightly better. I may replay FW when it comes to PC however, to see if my opinion changes
Colton49 10.12.23	playing the Spider-Man games. theyâ€™re very fun
Ryus 10.12.23	playing slay the spire as always
Egarran 10.12.23	YES me too Silent on my PC Ironclad on my tablet help
Ryus 10.12.23	ive reached ascension 20 on all characters so now im trying to rack up win streaks and failing miserably best game ever
Ryus 10.12.23	silent is probably my worst character. or defect ironclad and watcher are much easier for me
Egarran 10.12.23	I can't figure out defect at all. But Silent is always a good time. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/16rewz3
Ryus 10.12.23	defect is a ton of fun if you can just spam powers but he can be really slow and suffers a lot in act 2 if you dont have high damage output
Egarran 10.12.23	I'm here for all your defect tips Tomorrow I must sleep
Ryus 10.12.23	early act 1 i'd say take a high damage card, like sunder, streamline, ball lightning, etc powers that increase your focus are obv really good, defrag and biased cognition can make or break your run sometimes using frost orbs for most of your blocking can be really successful especially when you have a card like glacier that generates two frost orbs at once, which is extremely powerful i've had a lot of trouble using dark effectively since it's usually very slow but having a lot of frost orbs like i mentioned can help if you're going for a power heavy deck then card draw/energy generation is very important since you want to get those powers out as quickly as possible. for examplemummified hand is one of the best relics for defect, lets you play a shit ton of powers as fast as possible and that's how defect can often win
Ryus 10.12.23	also orange pellets/artifact are amazing since they mitigate the effects of hyperbeam and especially biased cognition
Egarran 10.12.23	Thanks!
Mort. 10.12.23	'ive reached ascension 20 on all characters so now im trying to rack up win streaks and failing miserably best game ever' same. in terms of value for money, the best purchase i ever made
Mort. 10.12.23	'for examplemummified hand is one of the best relics for defect, lets you play a shit ton of powers as fast as possible and that's how defect can often win' for sure the most op relic for that character and yeah everything ryus said is very accurate. dont underestimate ice. passive block is crazy good in sts. defect just has shit damage at first to balance it out lol
MeatSalad 10.13.23	Defect's typical reliance on power cards to be powerful is suffering, especially on A20 when you're more than likely getting slapped with that awakened one dong in act 3. Very difficult getting a deck together that isn't power spam but it is possible. A lot of Defect's cards are bad or highly situational too. Dark sucks and yeah, frost spam with just enough damage thrown in is usually your best bet I've gotten the fusion orb infinite loop with something like an upgraded zap (or meteor strike lul) for damage a few times but it also just folds to time eater unless I've also got some dummy thic block in the mix too. Easily the hardest A20 character
MeatSalad 10.13.23	Also fuck claw
Mort. 10.13.23	yeah claw sucks hard and is a trap way too slow to be useful but monkey brain sees scaling damage and goes awooga
Ryus 10.13.23	i did an A20 claw hologram recycle sundial unceasing top run one time that was fun lol
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	What type of game is Slay The Spire?
Wildcardbitchesss 10.13.23	Itâ€™s a card game. I have a couple of friends that play it but I donâ€™t know much about it. Iâ€™m sure itâ€™s not as surface level as that tho
Ryus 10.13.23	deckbuilding game climb up the procedurally generated spire and collect cards as u go strategize and defeat enemies best game ever [3]
MeatSalad 10.13.23	Top 3 roguelikes ez
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Wait is STS a roguelike?
MeatSalad 10.13.23	Yeah, well somewhat. Each run is different, with different progress routes, cards, items, enemies, etc. Only consistent thing is the character choices. You unlock things for future runs as you play but you get everything unlocked fairly quickly in a linear way
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Is it turn based? I don't enjoy turn based games
MeatSalad 10.13.23	I talk all this mad shit about Defect and then I immediately get a consume + inserter run going. And yes it's turn based
Egarran 10.13.23	>defect the hardest A20 character Thanks for this, I saw some people say that it was the easiest and I didn't like that.
protokute 10.13.23	addicted to Baldur's Gate 3
Shemson 10.13.23	Been really busy so not played much but Lies of P seems like a fantastic soulslike so far - really enjoyable and still enough of its own thing to not just be a copy Only done two or three bosses so far though
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	I want Lies of P so badly
pjquinones747 10.13.23	Lies of P is awesome. Grueling challenge like any Fromsoft. So fun.
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Fromsoft games typically aren't that difficult though? Sekiro was the exception, and the endgame of Elden Ring
pjquinones747 10.13.23	lmao ok dude
Mort. 10.13.23	'Fromsoft games typically aren't that difficult though? Sekiro was the exception, and the endgame of Elden Ring' oh shut up. they are so much more difficult than the average videogame and you know it . yes they can be beaten with some practice but there is no denying that dark souls is 10x harder to complete than skyrim
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Mort. I would argue that it depends on what difficulty you play games on typically. There is a lower floor for entry in the Fromsoft games, for sure, but you put Skyrim on Legendary difficulty and it will kick your ass a billion times over. I personally haven't had much issue with any Fromsoft game with the exception of Sekiro and Elden Rings endgame areas. And I've played since Demons' Souls on the PS3. I'm not saying they don't have challenge to them, but I don't understand the myth that they're crushingly touch
TheTripP 10.13.23	hahahaha, funny stuff Varuun
pjquinones747 10.13.23	bro outed himself as a neckbeard to us all. congrats homie
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Although I will say that compared to the vast majority of 2020's Triple A games, such as HFW and Ragnarok, Fromsoft are typically tougher
Mort. 10.13.23	'but you put Skyrim on Legendary difficulty and it will kick your ass a billion times over.' yeah ive played skyrim on legendary difficulty and its embarassingly easy, literally just abuse potion, smithing etc level up super quickly etc
Gmork89 10.13.23	Texas Chainsaw Massacre, can't stop, wont stop.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.13.23	lol Sekiro is the only one I ever managed to beat The rest were way more difficult for me
Gmork89 10.13.23	Sekiro was brutal for me, easily the hardest one and I cant even say I enjoyed it because it kicked my ass so bad, wasn't even close to the others.
Ryus 10.13.23	yeah i had more trouble with DS1 than sekiro tbh
pjquinones747 10.13.23	fromsoft/soulslike ive played by most difficult to least: sekiro ds1/2 demons souls ds3 bloodborne lies of p elden ring
Wildcardbitchesss 10.13.23	I guess it just depends on your play style. I like that Sekiro and Bloodborne kind of push you to be more aggressive. I found all of the Souls games harder than those two, but honestly 3 is the only one I made a decent dent in
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Personally, including all soulslikes i've played , from least to most difficult would be (no summons, no shields, no parries except Sekiro) Jedi: Fallen Order Demon's Souls Lords Of The Fallen (original, haven't played the sequel) Code Vein Mortal Shell Dark Souls 3 Remnant : From The Ashes Dark Souls 2 Dark Souls 1 Bloodborne Dark Souls 2 Scholar Of The First Sin Sekiro Elden Ring (Final areas are so unbalanced it's ridiculous) Nioh 2 Nioh
MeatSalad 10.13.23	I found DS1 and DS2 to be the easiest. They're still tough games to clear for the first time though. I think I struggled more once Fromsoft started making more intensely varied and fast paced boss fights, which tbf started in DS1 with the Artorias DLC and that DLC kicked my ass much harder than anything in the base game
protokute 10.13.23	Sekiro was by far the hardest one for me, but also the most rewarding, gosh it was fucking amazing getting good in that game.
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Sekiro feels so difficult because it's such a change of style from DS and Bloodborne, and then it feels even tougher when you fight Demon Of Hatred and it's a literal Bloodborne boss
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Also I don't mean to diminish anyone's achievements in these games or act like the games aren't tough. They are, but I just feel the difficulties are vastly overhyped, having played far tougher games and exclusively playing on max difficulty.
Egarran 10.13.23	Good thread.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.13.23	â€œSekiro was by far the hardest one for me, but also the most rewarding, gosh it was fucking amazing getting good in that game.â€ yeah I feel like itâ€™s the only soulsborne game that when I got gud it didnâ€™t punish me with a totally impossible boss encounter. Even bosses like Isshin and the Owl, while being really difficult and taking me a bunch of tries, never felt unfair or like they had a huge leg up on me.
Mort. 10.13.23	sekiro is weird, goes from the hardest to easiest once you get to grips with it
protokute 10.13.23	I feel like in the Dark Souls games, most of the time it's just repeat repeat repeat and hope that things turn out good for you that run and the camera doesn't mess you up. Of course there's a learning curve, and getting a hang of the rhythm is definitely part of the process and understanding enemy movements, but the self-conscious aspect of your understanding and learning is very hazy, while in Sekiro I definitely knew when I messed up, and I got to know how I could overcome my difficulties and despite how many times I died to a boss, I knew it was my fault.
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	I agree with Mort, Sekiro gets easy when it "clicks" because there's really no mechanics. It's just "hit deflect at the right time" like a rhythm game. It's literally Dance Dance Revolution with a DS skin. It's a great game though
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	Also rn i'm playing Risk Of Rain 2 btw, it slaps
protokute 10.13.23	Risk Of Rain 2 is amazing, yes. But I got tired after playing it for a couple of weeks
VaruunZealot 10.13.23	I'll probably only play it when I'm too drunk to play anything else ( like now)
Titan 10.13.23	Super Mario Brothers U deluxe.......with my daughter - she loves it (she's 5)
budgie 10.14.23	i wanna play titan
Wildcardbitchesss 10.14.23	Jesus Phantom Liberty is fucking depressing. At least the ending I got. Most are dead and the few alive fucking hate me. oh well
VaruunZealot 10.14.23	Yeah, Cyberpunk 2077 in general had a lot of really horrible story beats, especially the stuff involving the Mox. Saying goodbye to everyone in my first playthroug had me in tears
VaruunZealot 10.14.23	Holy fuck, Risk of Rain 2 is getting its hooks into me
RadioSuicide 10.18.23	^great game, was my go to for a few months. Heavy Lens-Maker stack runs >>>>> Currently grinding out mk1 when I can. Been dealing with some health stuff the last few weeks and I havenâ€™t been able to relax enough to game very much
Anthracks 10.18.23	playing luigi's mansion 3 for spooky season but falling very far behind on my gaming with lies of p, lords of the fallen, wo long dlc, super mario wonder, alan wake 2, sonic superstars egad
Egarran 10.18.23	I like how the daily challenge in Slay The Spire is basically overpowered wish fulfillment. The challenge is not to complete, but to complete in the most absurd way.
Piglet 10.18.23	can confirm battle bit still gud. gun design gud. most maps gud. turns out there is endless novelty in pissfarting about with 240 odd crossfaded runts in a benign lego battlefield milsim m/
VaruunZealot 10.18.23	About to start my bi-annual Control playthrough
Wildcardbitchesss 10.21.23	now is probably a good time for that, Alan Wake 2 next week!! And I think Iâ€™m kind of a bitch. Resident Evil 4 remake was tense but I loved it. Went back and bought the RE2 and 3 remakes and 2 is just too much. The tyrant just started chasing me and Iâ€™m pretty much done. Too scawy 4 me. Playing Sifu because I read it plays kinda like Sekiro
Wildcardbitchesss 10.22.23	was gonna wait til Black Friday but Iâ€™m really tempted to buy it rn
MeatSalad 10.22.23	I'm hoping Spider-Man 2 actually feels like a sequel and not just an expansion pack of the first game, as decent as it was
CaliggyJack 10.22.23	Playing Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 and I'm having the literal time of my life.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.22.23	Yeah thatâ€™s whatâ€™s really keeping me from pulling the trigger. Thought the miles morales game was pretty mid for that reason. Ik it was cheaper and not meant to be a â€œfull gameâ€ but like I already explored this world once, I kinda just b lined it through the story and did none of the extra shit
Get Low 10.25.23	Anyone got any recommendations for auto-battlers (auto-chess)? I just learned of this genre and I find it potentially interesting.
Dewinged 10.25.23	Lords of the Fallen (2023), having a blast with it. I gave up on git gud at Street Fighter V, reached Silver league and I'm done. Fuck it.
Get Low 10.25.23	Just spent like five minutes looking into Lords of the Fallen before realizing that it wasn't a suggestion for me, and you were just answering the question proposed in the list title.
Mort. 10.25.23	'Anyone got any recommendations for auto-battlers (auto-chess)? I just learned of this genre and I find it potentially interesting.' ive heard good things about storybook brawl and the makers of slay the spire released a free auto battler recently
Get Low 10.25.23	"and the makers of slay the spire released a free auto battler recently" Yo, I just looked into it (Tales & Tactics) and it looks like sheer dopamine.
zakalwe 10.25.23	â€œSekiro was brutal for me, easily the hardest one and I cant even say I enjoyed it because it kicked my ass so bad, wasn't even close to the others.â€ Absolutely. I played through it twice had around three attempts at the final boss on both occasions before packing it in out of a sheer non-plussed, non-commitment to the whole thing. From start to finish the game was a complete trudge without any of the immersive appeal, or investment of the other Fromsoft games (excluding DS11 which was bloody awful) Sekiro is ridiculously overrated, other than the different combat style it has nothing going for it at all. Elden Ring was a massive improvement in terms of world building, weapons and sense of achievement. What lets it down is its sheer size, I canâ€™t be arsed playing for another 20,30,40 plus hours for a faith build or whatever. DS I was the best for atmosphere and replay value Bloodborne the best for a balance of everything.
Mort. 10.25.23	if sekiro was a complete trudge for you then u need to do the thing
zakalwe 10.25.23	Even getting to a point where I could say I was that thing I just didnâ€™t enjoy it. The second playthrough was significantly easier than the first and even less enjoyable.
Dewinged 10.25.23	Sekiro with customization, fashion and builds would have been a very different story. I loved the first playthrough, endured the second and didn't even finish the third.
JohnnyoftheWell 10.25.23	NG+ has never been Soulsborne's forte really DS2 kinda made an effort for it (and tbf Sekiro w/ Kuro's charm), but every other game feels like an overpowered speedrun
zakalwe 10.25.23	I completely agree Dewi it would have created the â€˜magicâ€™ which it sorely lacks The formula requires Customisation, fashion, builds, atmosphere, level design, lore, sense of purpose and accomplishment, obscurity, revelation all built around a conciseness that demands further play throughs. The highest Sekiro achieved in any of that was probably about 70% when you as a player finally â€˜gets gudâ€™ but it doesnâ€™t really account for anything in a game that lacks the magic.
TheTripP 10.25.23	since we're back on souls games, I am on NG+ for DS1 going back and doing things I missed in my initial run (I completely forgot about the dlc) also faced crossbreed priscilla, now all I seem to have left is Magus and after almost attempts the most I got his health down was half
Wildcardbitchesss 10.26.23	Letting Alan Wake 2 preload now. The reviews have been fire. Gonna take a nap after work today and play that shit all night
protokute 10.26.23	in terms of atmosphere, Sekiro is miles ahead of any Souls game for me excited for Alan Wake 2, loved the first one when it came out
Gmork89 10.27.23	Alan Wake 2 tonight OH SHIT
Wildcardbitchesss 10.27.23	dude I canâ€™t wait, got it pre loaded and ready to go. I think the first came out when I was like 13. I was fucking obsessed. And Control is obviously great. Iâ€™m really excited to see where they take this story. Reviews have kinda implied shit gets weird, and thatâ€™s even by Remedyâ€™s usual standard weirdness
Gmork89 10.27.23	Yeah the first one was a classic memory, really stoked to dive in.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.27.23	I suck at them thatâ€™s why Iâ€™m not one of them
TheTripP 10.27.23	not gonna lie Dark Souls took years to click for me. Tried on and off over the course of a couple years then played Blasphemous which I think helped when I tried DS1 again, now it's one of my favorite games.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.28.23	It took a while to get going but god damn Iâ€™m loving Alan Wake 2 so far. I only have about 5 hours played, and thereâ€™s one moment thatâ€™s so insanely meta for fans that have been playing Remedy games for years. If youâ€™re on the fence, just fucking buy it. I canâ€™t wait to see the rest of this game
Gavierra 10.28.23	Ghost of Tsushima for me
BaselineOOO 10.28.23	I'm genuinely surprised that Alan Wake 2 isn't shit. I have this strong belief that pretty much all games made in Northern Europe are cringefests (because they are). I'm also playing an action RPG with anime waifus called CRYMACHINA. It's quite amazing so far! And a visual novel with cult following - The House in Fata Morgana, which is great but doesn't blow my mind.
Wildcardbitchesss 10.28.23	lol had me in the first half ngl
budgie 10.28.23	can any1 catch me up on manor lords looks interesting
Sharenge 10.30.23	okay restarted REmake since I didn't get anywhere on the playthrough I started a week or so back... actually made some progress this time around after realizing a key is hidden on the back of a book you have to examine closely... found dog whistle, but got tore up by doggie... first Crimson Head is already up... fun!
Veldin 10.30.23	Spider-Man 2 Lies of P World of Horror
Mort. 10.30.23	I have this strong belief that pretty much all games made in Northern Europe are cringefests (because they are). I'm also playing an action RPG with anime waifus called CRYMACHINA
Wildcardbitchesss 10.30.23	baseline has to be kidding Thereâ€™s absolutely no way someone is that fuckin brain dead lol
Wildcardbitchesss 10.30.23	Is world of horror any good? I donâ€™t like the anime art style but that trailer I saw was fuckin gnarly. Iâ€™m balls deep in Alan Wake 2 but Iâ€™m down for more horror, tis the season
BaselineOOO 10.30.23	Re-Volt (1999). I used to play it splitscreen with a childhood friend. The game is very fun, but hearing the OST with adult ears hits different - a genuinely great electronic album.
TheTripP 10.31.23	Bought the DLC for RE8 and beat the story/DLC this weekend while sick. Was even more enjoyable doing a 3rd person playthrough
heyadam 11.03.23	So excited to download World of Horror when I get home from work tonight - really looking forward to this one!
Get Low 11.03.23	"Re-Volt (1999)" Good shit. You playing on N64, fam?
artificialbox 11.03.23	finally caved and bought Cyberpunk cause it's on sale. got to choose my characters dick size which was pretty cool.
Wildcardbitchesss 11.03.23	circumcised or nah?
Wildcardbitchesss 11.03.23	Also my advice would be to play Phantom Liberty as soon as you unlock it, and just play it alternating actual story missions with Phantom Liberty missions. I really loved the DLC, but waiting until the end of the game was a mistake. Youâ€™re left doing nothing but Phantom Liberty stuff and it made it feel a little disconnected from the main story to me. But on the other hand, Iâ€™ve read that certain Phantom Liberty endings legit just end the entire game. So by the time you feel Phantom Liberty wrapping up (itâ€™s pretty obvious) Iâ€™d make sure to have most of the base content done. Enjoy man. It really is a great game. When all was said and done Iâ€™d finished up almost all the side missions and 100% Phantom Liberty and it took me just north of 74 hours. I enjoyed every bit of it.
budgie 11.03.23	i torrented it the day it came out and played an hour and hated it, would i still hate it
Wildcardbitchesss 11.03.23	yes worst game ever
artificialbox 11.03.23	I think I chose uncirced but only cause it looks bigger that way. Thanks for the tip on the DLC, I was defs gonna wait til I beat the base game to get it but maybe Iâ€™ll get it sooner.
Wildcardbitchesss 11.03.23	The base game has a very clear â€œpoint of no returnâ€. When you see that message pop up, and you push on, it will lock you out of everything else in the game aside from the final story missions obv. So def finish PL before you get to that point. Itâ€™s made very clear that the games about to end so you wonâ€™t miss it or anything.
Veldin 11.03.23	World of Horror is fun! Gotta be open to more traditional approach of text adventures with modern accommodations. Once you get in a good rhythm and are close to finishing a successful run, itâ€™s tense af
Veldin 11.03.23	Went back bout a year ago and started new character of CP2077 on PS5 and its an amazing game. Excited to eventually get around to expansion
Ectier 11.03.23	Need to finish Baldurs Gate but have just been messing around on pokemon and shiny hunting
heyadam 11.03.23	@Veldin I beat my first run and Iâ€™m hooked : â€˜ ) itâ€™s a really fun gameplay loop tbh
neekafat 11.03.23	@VaruunZealot ngl if you prefer HZD to HFW i immediately assume you're a redditor
someone 11.04.23	Amnesia The Bunker is batshit insane in its thrills. Legit got me dread every moment I have to exit the saferoom
Get Low 11.04.23	Playing Heretics Fork on Steam. It's a Hell-themed roguelike deckbuilding automated tower defense game, very addicting.
twlight 11.04.23	Starfield all day. Encroaching on 100 hrs. Enjoying all of it. Talk shit all you want
Egarran 11.04.23	>Heretics Fork Sounds great. And the top review on steam basically recommends being stoned while playing.
Get Low 11.04.23	Outside of playing your cards the game doesn't require any real-time involvement so it's def one to play stoned. Some of the tower attack patterns get trippy as well.
protokute 11.04.23	wish i could stop time for a while to play baldur's gate 3 nonstop
botb 11.04.23	BG3 split screen with the wife still going strong, itâ€™s been a blast. Also playing the star ocean 2 remaster on switch, maybe the best looking JRPG remaster Iâ€™ve ever seen.
someone 11.25.23	Playing Doom Eternal and it's the most fun I've had with an FPS since Titanfall 2.
Colton 11.26.23	I finished Mario Wonder, it was good. my boss loves it
AnimalForce1 11.26.23	IDK if I should thank or curse TikTok, but certain videos have hooked me on Rhythm Heaven Fever, of all games
Purpl3Spartan 11.26.23	Check out the half sword demo. Itâ€™s free and hilarious
Wildcardbitchesss 11.26.23	Doom Eternal is the shit. I love how it kind of forces you out of you comfort zone and makes you use weapons you wouldnâ€™t normally use. Like, with Doom 2016 I just blasted my way through with a shotty, thatâ€™s not really possible on Eternal. Started Death Stranding for the second time. Itâ€™s just really relaxing even if the story is a bunch of nonsense.
someone 11.26.23	Death Stranding was boring to me, sadly. Could not get through it almost at all. Having played Doom Eternal now I find myself rather frustrated with the lacking speed of other games...
protokute 11.26.23	Upgraded my legendary GTX 1060 to a RTX 3060, and I'm finally able to play some more recent demanding games. It's a joy to finally be able to play Red Dead Redemption 2 in all its glory. I finished Control last week, and I'm now playing Alan Wake 2.... and man... is that game visually amazing, I guess it's the first game to made me realize a new generation in terms of graphics, and I'm not even talking about those ray traced bs (yes reflections are slightly better, but no way I'm gonna sacrifice half my fps for that), what really astounded me on that game was the body animations and facial expressions, never saw something so fluid and real like that on a game in ages.
Azazzel 11.26.23	loving Talos Principle 2 through Act I. good puzzles, bigger more interactive world but not bloat. Ambient soundtrack is real nice. Game warned me on boot 'hey this is gonna run like shit on your HDD' so I picked up my first NVMe PCI4 SSD. got 2TB for $120 and yeah the read speeds are a noticeable upgrade. Far less screen-tearing plus the low load times
JohnnyoftheWell 12.02.23	think i need a firm holiday from soulslikes and am weighing up persona 4 golden for PS4 as the best value option rn vibes/suggestions?
Wildcardbitchesss 12.02.23	havenâ€™t played any of them but Iâ€™m curious about them too. I donâ€™t usually dig the anime art style but I feel like people constantly praise those games
Purpl3Spartan 12.02.23	Check out the half sword demo. Itâ€™s free and hilarious (2)
Wildcardbitchesss 12.16.23	I finally played The Last of Us Part 1 on PS5 since the remaster for Part II is dropping soon. Gotta say, Part II just completely blows the original out of the water. The story in Part I is the main thing people point to when talking about this game and thatâ€™s really all it has in 2023. It feels dated. Part II plays better, has WAY better level design, I think graphically itâ€™s still better than the remake, all of the animations are better, and most of all, I think the story is much more interesting. Part I is still great but replaying it has really made me think that Part II is better in literally every way.
Piglet 12.16.23	i dun care wot anyone says, new cod fux hard. mw2 mapperonis, blurdy mw2 scars, you can play like a headless chicken. many guds indeed
StormChaser 12.16.23	Re-Volt is a fucking classic Rn I'm playing Chivalry 2, quite probably the best casual online multiplayer game ever
Get Low 12.17.23	Haven't been playing much of anything lately besides Melee on Slippi, my Puff is getting cracked
Scheumke 12.18.23	Finished Lies of P recently and am on and off playing ng+ for the platinum. What a great game, yes it borrows very heavily from Bloodborne but who would ever not want more BB in 60fps
zakalwe 12.18.23	Went back to Elden Ring which is ridiculously overrated but still great. Completed a second play through of Baldurs Gate 3 which is absolutely magnificent.
StormChaser 12.18.23	I think BG3 is fantastic as well, except I can't help but keep comparing it to DOS2, which had a much more engaging story and a better character progression than BG3 does. I also dislike most of the brainworm abilities and how the game makes you wanna use them. But those are really the only 2 things that I see lacking, otherwise it's really a fantastic game (only near the end of the first act so far)
Mort. 12.18.23	chiv 2 rules
zakalwe 12.18.23	I found BG3 a lot better than divinity. Massively more invested in the characters. Astarions quest line/Character development is gaming gold.
Ryus 12.18.23	disco elysium
nightbringer 12.18.23	As a fan of futuristic/anti-grav racers, I've been enjoying Redout recently.
cycosynner 12.18.23	I'm running through all the Arkham games in order, got a PS5 relatively recently so I'm catching up on some old favorites.
protokute 12.18.23	batman arkham asylum was one of the most atmospheric and dope games I remember playing back in the day. Getting to explore different areas of the asylum as you progress was amazing. disco elysium is a masterpiece.
protokute 12.18.23	currently on the final act of my first playthrough of BG3, and I'm loving it.
Mort. 12.18.23	disco elysium is one of the greatest games of all time hands down
protokute 12.18.23	agreed.
artificialbox 12.18.23	The new Cyberpunk update hit and Iâ€™m so pissed. I was hoping Panam was gonna text me to hang out but fucking KERRY texted me instead!! Just because we smashed one time on a boat doesnt mean I want to date. I guess it serves me right for cheating on Panam.
Mort. 12.18.23	i hope to god youre taking the piss
Wildcardbitchesss 12.19.23	Idk Kerry is a piece of ass
Wildcardbitchesss 01.22.24	Played The Last of Us Part 2 Remaster all weekend and god what an incredible game. Maybe my favorite game ever, nothing else really matches up to it. Best stealth action since MGSV (personally, I think itâ€™s better but we donâ€™t have to get into that), one of the best stories in any game, incredible acting, graphics, animations. Just fucking everything. They added some â€œLost Levelsâ€ which is just a couple of situations that got left on the cutting room floor with some commentary, which was very cool. But this No Return mode has a hold over me. Iâ€™m hoping that they plan on adding more to it, but even as it is now I could see myself doing nothing but playing this mode for a while. They really made the best game even better.
Hyperion1001 01.22.24	finally got a new computer and ive been really enjoying baldurs gate 3. been wanting to play it forever since divinity os2 was one of my favorite RPGâ€™s and now Iâ€™ve got a rig to actually run it.
ConcubinaryCode 01.22.24	Yeah, tlou2 remaster sounds cool and if I can upgrade for 10$ I might as well. I wish more games had dev commentary
Wildcardbitchesss 01.22.24	Absolutely worth it. Itâ€™s a pretty good deal for $10. I mean, honestly the No Return mode is worth the cash by itself. A lot of people were bitching about the missing multiplayer mode, including me, and this is the next best thing. The combat is too good for it to be completely tied to the story. I love the story, but itâ€™s too heavy for me to be playing it all the time. Adding a rogue like mode with high scores and shit is a no brainer and itâ€™s so good. Iâ€™ve only played as Ellie so far but Iâ€™ve read that the other 9 characters play differently, so there should be a ton of replay value.
Wildcardbitchesss 01.22.24	And yeah I think Iâ€™m going to wait until I have a better PC before jumping into Baldurs Gate. Iâ€™ve read about people having problems with much better rigs than mine
ConcubinaryCode 01.23.24	I kinda understand mp gaming is like it's own beast now and I'd rather ND focus on single player games than have to support mp games. Tlou1 is the best mp mode they've ever done tho so it does kinda sting still but what you gonna do. I do wish people gave more leeway to the story, it is a heavily oppressive game so I get its hard to digest. Tbh the extra content is what I'm actually going to play it for lol
protokute 01.23.24	I was able to play BG3 just fine with my old GTX 1060 6gb (didn't get to Act 3 with it though)
osmark86 01.23.24	Playing Control atm. Really liking the atmosphere in that game, kinda feels like playing a SCP.
Deathconscious 01.24.24	Ninja Gaiden Black, Dark Souls Remastered, Owlboy, Dragon Age Origins, Burnout 3 and Revenge, Horizon Forbidden West, Left 4 Dead 2 co-op. Will be getting to Doom 3, LOTR: The Third Age, and Battle for Middle Earth II soon.
Emim 01.24.24	Wish Battle for Middle Earth was on steam I've been playing fortnite lol
Wildcardbitchesss 01.24.24	Goddamn Burnout. 3 and Revenge are two of the most fun games Iâ€™ve ever played. Really wish theyâ€™d get that series going again. I played the newest NFS and it just doesnâ€™t hit the same
Deathconscious 01.24.24	Same, as long as they dont tone it down for the realism that has so saturated the market these days.
s0nicx 01.26.24	Only one more week for Persona 3 Reload...
Deathconscious 01.30.24	Got Resident Evil 4 (not the remake) coming in the mail for PS4, i got tired of playing it on the Gamecube, the controller is trash. Also have the first two Batman Arkham games coming, i played some of Arkham City a long time ago but never finished it.
botb 01.30.24	Balls deep in age of empires 4 rn it rules
zakalwe 01.30.24	Iâ€™ve gone back to New Vegas. That White Glove casino cannibalism mission thing is probably the greatest single mission in computer game history.
Wildcardbitchesss 01.30.24	Arkham City is one of the goats, enjoy it man. Finished TLOU2 Remaster and have been playing Cult of the Lamb. This is some good shit
TheTripP 01.30.24	Back on my Oblivion vibe, though my mods aren't working and it's annoying me
twlight 01.30.24	Dark Souls 3 for the first time
protokute 01.30.24	Oh the joy of having a perfectly playable modded Oblivion. Cult of The Lamb got pretty boring really fast for me.
teamster 02.03.24	Atomic Heart
Wildcardbitchesss 02.03.24	It any good? I remember people being pretty hyped for it but that died almost immediately so I kinda just assumed it was decent at best.
IsisScript80 02.03.24	I've been buying physical games to add to my massive backlog... a lot of it is down to the notion that media like games are being lost (fucking Ubisoft's recent statement epitomises where it is and where it's heading). As for actually playing... off the back of the GTA6 trailer, my wife and I are revisiting 5 again. Basic move, but still very enjoyable.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.03.24	calling it now, next gen systems will not have a disc drive. Idk, digital is so much more convenient but youâ€™re spot on about the licensing shit. Thereâ€™s already some games that are basically completely lost to time, and itâ€™s only going to become more common
Pikazilla 02.03.24	at this point it might as well be a subscription service you never know which games are going to be pulled out of the catalogue / your library, which fucking sucks
Scheumke 02.03.24	Biggest reason I buy games physically is that the ps store just adds 15/20 euro to every game compared to my local store. Only time I can validate buying digital is with a heavy discount or day 1 games that I can't wait to play.
Get Low 02.04.24	I'm learning Dominion on Windows now; it just got an official release on Steam
IsisScript80 02.04.24	"calling it now, next gen systems will not have a disc drive." Yeah, I'm pretty sure of that myself. The AA and AAA gaming landscape is going to be a part of the wider thing going on, where they'll master photo-realism and real-time (most likely A.I.-generated) environments on the fly. And yeah, the notion of you "owning' anything is going to diminish to a faded memory, as the subscription/always online/live service model proves so lucrative and easy for them to control. I think it'd be up to the indie sphere to possibly Kickstart (or whatever equivalent) a deliberately retro-informed physical format device for the boutique market (gaming's equivalent of vinyl collectors) to fulfill this increasing niche of those who feel they want to own what they purchase. And yeah, naturally follows: "Thereâ€™s already some games that are basically completely lost to time, and itâ€™s only going to become more common" Absolutely, 87% and rising. Shit-show. https://kotaku.com/classic-games-history-foundation-preservation-yakuza-1850623857
mouldypigeon 02.04.24	Papers, Please + 2nd playthrough of Cyberpunk to try DLC and wean myself from BG3 addiction
Egarran 02.04.24	You made me reinstall Burnout: Paradise City and thanks for that, it's still good fun.
4N4LB34D5 02.06.24	experiencing persona 3 for the first time with Reload and holy fuck the OST is absolutely slapping my balls off. 'full moon full life' might be my new favorite opening song in the series. atlus does not miss when it comes to their vocalists. i thought the rapping from Matcha Ice would be too corny and ruin the OST, but it's growing on me and i'm finding it oddly endearing. CANNOT WAIT to see what they do with p6!!
ToSmokMuzyki 02.06.24	WITH MY WEENA
Avagantamos 02.06.24	started a new playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas after many years. the game holds up even better than I was expecting it would. the lore scattered across various notes, computer terminals, and obscure dialog lines is extremely captivating. this is something that I don't tend to engage with much during the gameplay cycle in other games, even if it does interest me. In Dark Souls, for instance, I find the lore fascinating, but it's not really what I'm thinking about while fighting my way through levels and bosses.
Demon of the Fall 02.06.24	'That White Glove casino cannibalism mission thing is probably the greatest single mission in computer game history.' (2) yeah, it's defo one of my faves interesting that quite a few people here still return to Fallout: NV. It has aged well in all facets which aren't graphics (obviously) or performance related. Revisited it over 'lockdown' (initially) and actually couldn't believe how much I was enjoying playing it again. The apocalyptic context was also erm... 'weightier' at the time, but it didn't detract from the fun somehow, lol
Wildcardbitchesss 02.06.24	I guess the writing has been on the wall for a while now, but I was really hoping that Suicide Squad game was going to be good. The Arkham games were some of my favorites growing up so it kinda sucks to see Rocksteady drop this after all this time. Iâ€™ll still play it, but like Gotham Knights it wonâ€™t be until itâ€™s like $20 on psn
s0nicx 02.06.24	MY P3R COLLECTORS EDITION IS HERE WOOHOO
twlight 02.06.24	Finished Dark Souls 3 and now working through the DLC. Sister Friede is a bitch I want to play through Cyberpunk Ultimate Edition next
Wildcardbitchesss 02.06.24	Get ready to kiss your social life away for a month with Cyberpunk. 75 hours to complete and I still felt like there was more to do.
protokute 02.06.24	couldn't get into cyberpunk at all...
Deathconscious 02.07.24	"I was really hoping that Suicide Squad game was going to be good. The Arkham games were some of my favorites growing up so it kinda sucks to see Rocksteady drop this after all this time." Bummer. I just finished Asylum, onto City now. At least there's still Origins and Knight after this.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.07.24	Oh dude youâ€™re really in for a good time. City and Knight are absolutely incredible. I still like Asylum and Origins, but Asylum just feels like childâ€™s play compared to everything that comes next and Origins feels like a step back after City. Maybe a hot take but I think City was where the series really found itâ€™s footing and Knight basically just perfected it. Like, if I were to really think about what my favorite games of all time are both would probably land in my top 10
Dewinged 02.07.24	I'm still finishing Outer Worlds but started Cult of the Lamb and I love it. Wanna replay FF7 remake with the Yuffie stuff before the new one comes out too.
GhandhiLion 02.07.24	The Beatles paperback writer
protokute 02.07.24	I think Arkham Asylum has one of the most immersive and atmospheric maps I ever played in a game. Arkham Night is pretty good too. I somehow never played Arkham Knight ...
nightbringer 02.07.24	Finished Jedi Survivor, now playing Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness for the first time and it might be my favorite pokemon game - ahhh, help.
Anthracks 02.07.24	about 6 hours into super mario rpg remake. never played it before it's pretty good
Deathconscious 02.07.24	Yep, Arkham City is pretty fuckin fun. I like how there are more options in combat now, a complaint i had for the first one was that it was too basic. And the open world environment suits a Batman game much better, plus its one of the coolest looking open worlds ive ever seen.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.07.24	Yeah I see the argument about Asylum having better atmosphere but I donâ€™t really see it. City ups the quality in pretty much every way. Like Death said, way more options when in combat (and stealth too tbh), bigger and better cast, much better boss fights, larger map filled with more shit to do, just everything. The jump from City to Knight isnâ€™t quite as big but thatâ€™s only because City was nearly perfect to begin with. And to be honest, the more I think about it the more I think Knight is definitely the best. The only thing that really lets it down is with some really trash boss fights. Everything else is pretty much perfect and graphically itâ€™s still absolutely stunning. It was only 2015 but it still felt like Rocksteady squeezed every ounce of power out of that generation of consoles.
Purpl3Spartan 02.07.24	Finished lies of p and elden ring in the same night on Monday and have been riding that high since
Deathconscious 02.08.24	"Yeah I see the argument about Asylum having better atmosphere but I donâ€™t really see it." Same, i actually think City has a stronger atmosphere and is more immersive. "much better boss fights" This was probably the worst thing about Asylum, the lame and repetitive boss fights.
RadioSuicide 02.08.24	Been heavy back into binding of Isaac for the last few months, pushing 150hrs. Also on a new elden ring save (Strength/Faith) bc dlc hype
Egarran 02.08.24	Just had my first battle against the heart in slay the spire. It's disconcerting how much time you can use on that game.
protokute 02.08.24	I don't know, it could be nostalgia speaking. But I really have fond memories of getting to explore the different places of the Asylum more than exploring the city in Arkham City, but I did like that game a lot too. Honestly, the only bosses I remember from Asylum were the scarecrow and the Croc
protokute 02.08.24	Dude, I was addicted to Slay The Spire last year, loved it
Wildcardbitchesss 02.08.24	The ivy, bane, and joker bosses were so bad in Asylum. But Croc and Scarecrow were pretty dope.
Egarran 02.08.24	How far did you get in StS Proto? I'm often tempted to never play it again, but then I go back and something clicks and I get drunk with power.
protokute 02.09.24	That also happened to me. After a long time struggling, I was able to beat the heart with all the characters. I found the Defect to be the most fun of them.
Ryus 02.09.24	i think i have like 500 hours in sts at this point lol i stopped playing for a long time but just picked it back up a few months ago, i really only find defect and silent interesting now
Egarran 02.09.24	Respect. I'm just now learning to Defect. As far as I can see it's ok to beat the heart on A1, I feared it was only an A20 thing.
Deathconscious 02.09.24	"The ivy, bane, and joker bosses were so bad in Asylum. But Croc and Scarecrow were pretty dope." I actually thought the Ivy fight was one of the better ones, but thats not saying much. Maybe only because at least it wasn't another copy/paste boss. I found the Killer Croc part to be tedious, I was glad when it was over. All three of the Scarecrow encounters were really cool though, they added a nice change of pace and were also just good to look at. I couldn't believe they did another copy/paste for the final boss. Not to shit on the game, overall i thought it was really solid, but it's a one and done for me i think. I could see myself playing City again.
MillionDead 02.09.24	I think the feel of the gameplay in Arkham Knight is perfect, but the pacing of the overall game is nearly ruined by how often youâ€™re railroaded into using the Batmobile for EVERYTHING. Side quests, main quest, riddles, etc. If theyâ€™d cut the amount of Batmobile in half, itâ€™d be a much better game for it. The fact that Deathstroke and Arkham Knight, characters that absolutely deserve face to face hand to hand boss fights, end up being tank battles is absurd. The story is also much weaker than Asylum and City. Knightâ€™s story has a painfully predictable twist and key plot points are just nonsensical at times. They just couldnâ€™t let the Joker miss ONE game and the whole bit about his blood turning people into him is just wildly idiotic. Thatâ€™s not how blood works, unless weâ€™re talking magic. I think the best Arkham game is City. Knight is one of the best looking, best feeling games ever though. Anyway, the last game I really played worth a damn was BG3.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.16.24	death donâ€™t read that unless youâ€™ve played Knight yet! Personally didnâ€™t mind the batmobile, it made for a nice change of pace. However I do completely agree about Deathstroke. What a dumb and lazy fucking way of handling that character. A copy/paste repeat of their fight in Origins literally wouldâ€™ve been better. Like I said earlier, Knight really only has one boss fight, or only one thatâ€™s memorable at least. And I donâ€™t mind the â€œtwistâ€ so much. Yeah it was pretty obvious who the Knight was, but I donâ€™t think that takes away from the story too much. Itâ€™s still very well told. Playing RDR2 again for the first time in a couple of years. One of the few games that makes me remember why I even enjoy this hobby. So well made, so much stuff to do, most of it is quality as hell, no bullshit monetization or micro transactions, not to mention how incredible the writing and characters are. Just a damn good game.
StormChaser 02.16.24	"I found BG3 a lot better than divinity. Massively more invested in the characters. Astarions quest line/Character development is gaming gold." Have you played with Prince / Fane? I was much more interested in those than anything BG has to offer. Astarion's story is cool tho for sure. Also, there's just nothing close to the greatness of Sir Lora and his trusted steed Quercus
MillionDead 02.16.24	Anyone ever played Disco Elysium? Been eyeing that one hard.
Ryus 02.16.24	ud love it dude its amazing. probably the best writing in any game
Hyperion1001 02.16.24	honestly the only game Iâ€™ve ever really loved is world of Warcraft and Iâ€™ll keep playing it until the servers shut down. baldurs gate 3 is awesome so far though, but after playing divinity I knew it would be.
protokute 02.16.24	regarding Disco Elysium: it's a masterpiece just play it.
protokute 02.16.24	i wanna try a full madness playthrough someday
TheTripP 02.16.24	just yoinked Fable: The Lost Chapters on sale, excited to dive back into that after it being over a decade since I have played it edit holy crap 2 decades...
JayEnder 02.16.24	Finally conquered the Resident Evil series. Played em all from 0 to 8. Just finished Code Veronica for the first time and loved it apart from the awful movement system. Also 5 is underrated, spent hours and hours slaying ass in mercs. Above all though the og re4 and the RE1 remake are tops, easily the best games in terms of atmosphere and immersion. Really wish the Silent Hill games were available on the PlayStation store, would love to play them next.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.16.24	Silent Hill 2 is getting a remake so hereâ€™s hoping thatâ€™s good
Gameofmetal 02.16.24	trucking through starfield and it's very mid but if you ignore the boring shit (the main quest, the dreary planet exploration) and just do the faction quest trees it's not terrible. Trying to get it out of the way soon and probably do another Elden Ring playthrough, late winter early spring is probably gonna bring me back to that one a lot.
budgie 02.16.24	wildcard i saw a combat teaser for that, looked very cool "honestly the only game Iâ€™ve ever really loved is world of Warcraft and Iâ€™ll keep playing it until the servers shut down." i played it for the six or so months of release back in like 2004/5 and have some good memories
protokute 02.16.24	i loooooooooooooove fable the lost chapters and yeah re1 remake is also another masterpiece, the atmosphere on that thing........ that game should be a staple on how to do remakes, unfortunately it is not.
TheTripP 02.16.24	OG RE4 is my fav game of all time, the remake is super well done too! RE2remake and RE8 are my other favs of the series.
DType 02.16.24	Og 3 is the goat for me, not only in the series, but video games in general
budgie 02.16.24	yuh nemesis is what i played on dreamcast back in the day
protokute 02.16.24	3 was also my favorite from the ogs. lost count of how many times i finished it. I was really bummed out when I knew that they cut off the church part on the remake
DType 02.16.24	I will never forgive Capcom for R3make, it had the potential to be the best game ever made, and they blow it up, big time
Devastator 02.16.24	Been playing Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon for the past couple weeks and I love it. The shift to turn based combat and a true RPG system is awesome. Plus the characters are great.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.17.24	yeah RE3 remake was trash, and i never even played the originals. The RE2 remake is a much better horror game and the RE4 remake is a much better action game. RE3 just feels like a weaker version of both in every way.
nol 02.18.24	I had surgery on my shoulder couple weeks ago so Iâ€™m off work for 6 weeks. Been spending a lot of time getting invested in a Fire Emblem: 3 Houses playthrough. Itâ€™s a lot better than I remember! Iâ€™m doing Blue Lions on maddening, and Iâ€™ve been getting really into the unit management aspect of the game. I didnâ€™t grasp the value of instruction and goals on my first playthrough, but this time I have specific class paths in mind that require training unconventional skills, and itâ€™s making the game a lot more fun. I wouldnâ€™t mind seeing a next gen sequel to 3 Houses!
budgie 02.18.24	what was wrong with re 3 remake
DType 02.18.24	"what was wrong with re 3 remake" It is severely linear and on the rails compared to the original and REmake 2, lackluster content and a lot of iconic sections got cut off entierly or replaced with poor ones (only the hospital is a real improvement), puzzles are a joke and almost nonexistent, Nemesis' presence was handled poorly with crappy and generic transformations, he's also way too scripted with qte's and all, half assed game and a sorry ass excuse of a remake
Deathconscious 02.19.24	"death donâ€™t read that unless youâ€™ve played Knight yet!" Luckily i was reading up the thread and not down lol. I finished Arkham City a few days ago, what an awesome game. Ill be hanging onto it, could easily see myself playing it again in the future. I have Origins coming in the mail now (along with Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2, im on a nostalgia kick).
someone 02.19.24	finally got around to Dishonored and it slaps been on a Bioshock-esque kick lately, including replaying the trilogy and Burial at Sea, but also tried Atomic Heart while it's on Game Pass. despite the general concensus, Atomic Heart was surprisingly fun, even though it has its glaring issues. namely, the boss fights are a shitshow and none of your upgrades really feel that impactful, bar from a few. i also kinda hate that you can only find blueprints for specific weapons and upgrades in very specific locations that are a pain to go through sometimes. also yes, the protagonist is annoying as fuck. but i loved the setting, the gameplay, the way it kinda forces you to try out different ways and strategies intermittently. i also got used to the bickerings of the main guy eventually.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.19.24	Iâ€™ll have to get around to playing Atomic Heart when itâ€™s like $15-20. And hot take but I think Burial at Sea is legit peak Bioshock. Some of the best DLCâ€™s ever made imo. Play Deathloop and Prey if you havenâ€™t already!
neekafat 02.19.24	Replayed all the bioshocks (wow infinite did not age well)
Deathconscious 02.19.24	Prey 2017? I hate how overlooked that game is, it deserved a sequel.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.19.24	@neeka Not only that, it just isnâ€™t talked about any more. The game is 10 years old, so thatâ€™s kinda understandable, but if you remember how hyped that game was its shocking how inconsequential it ended up being. People still view the first as a complete game changer, 2 has a cult following that basically worship it. People are just kinda lukewarm on Infinite these days. Like I said tho, Burial at Sea is incredible and it makes Infiniteâ€™s story better. Especially one plot point that really pissed me off originally.
s0nicx 02.20.24	I love all 3 games. Don't really think infinite has aged that badly (though it definitely is the worst of the trilogy)
Slex 02.20.24	Sup gamers
Deathconscious 02.20.24	I dont get the hate for Infinite either. I replayed all three games last year, and while it wasnt as good as i remember, i still think it's one of the most narratively and artistically pleasing games ive ever played, and i still find the gameplay to be pretty fun. As for the first two: first one has better story, second has better gameplay, imo.
budgie 02.20.24	1337 bitchesssss
Wildcardbitchesss 02.20.24	Damn I kinda wanna play bioshock now lol Hooked my PC up to my TV for the time being so I should be able to run them at 4K 60 fps ez
ConcubinaryCode 02.20.24	Infinite is still pretty damn good, biggest criticism I hear consistently is some story beats feel rushed but the dlc really helps reevaluate the game in my eyes making it feel more complete in a way I was originally dismissed. Plus the actual gameplay is just more engaging in BaS, I don't really like Infinites gameplay loop. People are already shit talking Judas but I'm looking forward to it. Bioshock 1 was THE game changer though, bio2 is the one I don't get the love for. Sure it's competent but they already had all the work done for them and Sofia Lamb is such a dogshit antagonist, not to mention the liberties taken with the plot of the original if you care about that.
someone 02.20.24	I still like Infinite the best out of the core trilogy, as it's the most fun to replay, even if the story is indeed a pile of pretentious mumbo jumbo. Bioshock 2 feels the most inconsequential and the least talked about. But yeah, Burial at Sea is great, although its story-only purpose makes it a bit non-replayable for me. I'll try again in say 5-10 years when I will have forgotten the story.
someone 02.20.24	And yes, looking forward to Judas. I hope we're not overhyping it and are served some Callisto Protocol level mishandling
JayEnder 02.20.24	First Bioshock game is quite easily the best one imo. 2 was pretty mid and there's not much to say about it really besides the above average gameplay. I don't even remember anything about Infinite but I only played it once like 6 years ago lol, maybe I'll fire it up and give it another go. Also agreed that RE3 Remake was a massive disappointment. Felt more like a DLC for RE2 Remake than it's own thing.
Egarran 02.20.24	Slay the Spire hoorays, I finished my first A20 with Ironclad and defeated the first Heart with A13 Silent.
StormChaser 02.20.24	nice Eggy, slay the spire rocks my friends and i logged like 300 hours on that baby for sure there were awesome mods and custom classes too but I think those are defunct it's a shame they're not supporting the game further, feel like there's so much room for adding new content there
RadioSuicide 02.20.24	Bioshock 1 is such a genuinely good game. Unsettling, fast paced, full of intrigue. 30fps is a drag (bborne remake pls), but after a few hours you get used to it. Infinite improved and expanded the gameplay of 1 and 2, but I think the devs left a lot of the magic behind in Rapture for it. I did enjoy the story and the general art direction of the game, though. Annnnnnnnnd fuck you guys, RE3R is fun as hell. Dumped more hours into speedrunning that game than I have into RE2R in general, and thatâ€™s without including my time in the 2nd best bonus mode in the entire series. RE4R reigns supreme tho, that thing is a fuckin masterpiece Also Slay the Spire is the best standalone deck builder of all time- I have ~200hrs on my switch and still go back for more. Very near a perfect game.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.20.24	Totally agree about RE4R at least. Iâ€™m honestly totally fine with the popularity of remakes rn. The RE4 and Dead Space remakes were absolute fire
budgie 02.20.24	anyone doin last epoch?
someone 02.20.24	I wish to expand on my words earlier, Dishonored fucking rules
Wildcardbitchesss 02.20.24	[2] I wish theyâ€™d make a third one but I donâ€™t really see where they could take the story after Death of the Outsider
ConcubinaryCode 02.20.24	I hope arkane doesn't get shuttered with all the game industry layoffs going on. Redwall was undeniably bad but so many people act like one bad game means people shouldn't get to work on games anymore. We already lost volition and free radical
Wildcardbitchesss 02.20.24	I think theyâ€™ll be fine. Hopefully whatever dipshit decided they should even be making a game like Redfall gets shitcanned tho. Like they have a very specific kind of game that theyâ€™ve been making for the last decade+, sure itâ€™s a little more niche than a four player shooter but they do it really well. Hopefully this Blade game they have going does well. Iâ€™m not thrilled that theyâ€™re doing a Marvel game, but if there was any character for them to do Blade probably makes the most sense. They would probably make a kick ass Daredevil game too
someone 02.20.24	I fear Arkane might be going down, seeing as most of them quit after being forced to work on Redfall.
Deathconscious 02.22.24	Rainbow Six Vegas is still some solid fun.
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.24	Would anyone here be interested in doing a co op play through of Gotham knights? I heard itâ€™s mid but better with others. Itâ€™s cheap on steam rn
gryndstone 02.26.24	Bought Night In The Woods for my BF and watching him play it :] he's not a big gamer but it's one he's wanted to play through for awhile. I'm replaying/finishing for the first time Hypnospace Outlaw
protokute 02.26.24	started Lies of P today. I'm digging the vibe
someone 02.26.24	Let me expand even more upon my words earlier, Dishonored rules, but Dishonored 2 kick a whole lotta ass. The only thing I hate about it is how much I suck at being stealthy and nonlethal. It's like the game is mocking me by constantly referring to my playthrough as "high chaos"
Wildcardbitchesss 02.26.24	Dishonored 2 has some of the best level design ever. The clockwork mansion and the time travel missions are so fucking dope
Jash 02.26.24	Duster of my N64 and Iâ€™m a couple days into a new Ocarina of Time file, such a timeless game
protokute 02.26.24	Yeah, Dishonored 2 was way better than the first one
pjquinones747 02.27.24	Helldivers 2 anyone? Let's spread some DEMOCRACY
BaselineOOO 02.27.24	I want to get the new Moon Studios game No Rest for the Wicked, looks insanely good. March 1st btw
Wildcardbitchesss 02.28.24	Damn youâ€™re right, that looks great. Iâ€™ll def have to keep an eye on it
Demon of the Fall 02.28.24	damn, I enjoyed Dishonored 1, but never played 2 looks like I should!
someone 02.28.24	def should. haven't been this drawn into a game world since Bioshock. love me some of this steampunk/dieselpunk type art
smaugman 02.28.24	cs2, god of war and GTA 4
protokute 02.28.24	The first Dishonored game has a fascinating moody and gritty atmosphere, but it feels like it really wants you to be stealthy while not providing enough engaging stealth opportunities and that really took the fun out of it for me specially in the late game.
someone 02.28.24	the thing is, it kinda does provide all of them, but it also plays a lot with your own abilities as a player to see detail and use environment to your advantage. also it requires a lot of patience. the NPCs walk in a pattern, so you have to wait until their patterns coalesce into the exact perfect moment. it's all about how perceptible you are
Demon of the Fall 02.28.24	I recognised a lot of the patterns. I'm just clumsy as hell, lol played a lot of that game trying to be as stealthy as possible by scouting out areas, taking my time etc. but messing it up often. Still enjoyed the journey
protokute 02.28.24	I understand, for people who are big into Stealth, that is just fine. But by the end game, I was really not feeling the stealthy aspect of the game, and I just wanted to get over it as quickly as I could. The second game improved on scenario diversity, level building and both stealth and the more out front action, which I enjoyed better.
Snake. 02.28.24	i don't play a lot of video games anymore but i just bought tony hawk pro skater 1+2 to kill some time in my family abode
someone 03.01.24	finally got around to the time travel mission in Dishonored 2. gotta say, it's a helluva lot like the time travel mission in Titanfall 2 then again, i'm not sure how else to make a dynamic time shift mechanic work
s0nicx 03.01.24	Still working through Persona 3 Reload right now. Got 37/48 Achievements. Going to have to do a second playthrough on NG+ to get them all (specifically the maxed out social link one). Still have a Merciless playthrough as well (though thats just something I want to do and not required). @someone That Titanfall 2 campaign was so much better than it really had any right to be. Hell even on the hardest difficulty it was fun as hell.
Feather 03.01.24	New pokemon being announced as part of Kalo region. Need to replay Y in preperation.
Ryus 03.01.24	balatro scratchin the slay the spire itch BIG TIME amazing game
frozencarl 03.01.24	pushing high mmr in hearthstone bgs and diving hell lets go baby
Egarran 03.01.24	Uh oh Balatro sounds dangerously addictive.
Purpl3Spartan 03.01.24	Helldivers 2 is fun ya
Ryus 03.01.24	it is indeed ega highly recommended for any slay the spire fans
protokute 03.03.24	does anyone else have a hard time getting into Red Dead Redemption 2? I was really excited to finally be able to play the game on my pc with my new GPU, and while the game is beautiful, the story is cool and the gameplay is fine, I just can't get myself to sit down and play the game? And that's coming from someone that loved the original RDR and the GTA series.
Egarran 03.03.24	Haven't played that game but I know the feeling. Which is why my steam library is filled with half-finished games.
CugnoBrasso 03.03.24	protokute, that's low key how I felt about videogames as a whole in the last 7 years or so. I used to love videogames as a teenager but I'm more into other things now, although I still love me some games every now and then (Like Elden Ring and Zelda last year).
Wildcardbitchesss 03.03.24	How far are you? The opening hours are definitely slow but by the middle of chapter 2 the game had me hooked. And itâ€™s a game that literally just gets better and better until the end. The entirety of Chapter 6 is peak storytelling in video games. I would honestly compare it to some of the best of television and film.
protokute 03.03.24	I'm right after moving to the second camp
Wildcardbitchesss 03.03.24	Yeah Iâ€™d say push through. Thatâ€™s where the game really starts to open up. Take time to hang out around the camp too, thereâ€™s a lot of optional quests and side conversations that really flesh out the world that you can totally miss if you just b line the main story. Every character in camp has a lot of backstory and most have pretty satisfying arcs you just kinda have to look out for them.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.03.24	I just finished the main story for the third time I think? Thereâ€™s a pretty long epilogue after Chapter 6 and thatâ€™s pretty similar to the main story. It starts off slow as hell but for both it really is all about setting up for later chapters where youâ€™ll probably be a lot more invested. If gameplay is a hangup at all, no, it doesnâ€™t get any better. So I totally get why people trash the game for that. But I donâ€™t think thereâ€™s an open world in gaming that is so dense and detailed. And certainly not one that has such high production quality. Really take your time, a lot of games nowadays catch flack for being too cinematic to the point where people will just say theyâ€™re basically movies. Red Dead 2 is more like a prestige TV show. Itâ€™s long but every bit of set up is made worth it by the payoff imo. And like I said, the game really opens up once you get to Valentine. Chapter 3 and 4 open up the world even more
Wildcardbitchesss 03.03.24	And I have no problem saying that Arthur Morgan is probably the most interesting, layered, and complex character in any video game. Heâ€™s truly impeccably written and Roger Clark deserves all the praise in the world for bringing him to life.
protokute 03.03.24	Nice! As for the second camp, I meant the one after Valentine. And yes, Arthur Morgan is a very interesting man, I just wish he didn't sound drunk all the time
Wildcardbitchesss 03.03.24	Yeah Chapter 3 has that really good storyline with the two civil war families. Thatâ€™s where the game really picks up imo
protokute 03.11.24	decided to give Metro Exodus a try on my new rig, after it being on a discount on Steam. Couldn't get over how cheesy and sloppy the dialogue and the plot is.....
JayEnder 03.11.24	Currently getting reamed in Dark Souls for the first time. Absolute masterpiece.
pizzamachine 03.11.24	Currently playing a bit of dis and a bit of dat
TheTripP 03.11.24	I keep rotating between some Dark Souls and Dead By Daylight with the occasional Rocket League
artificialbox 03.11.24	Helldivers 2. Been playing with my friend from across the country and its been a blast, but we are at a major disadvantage playing as a duo and keep getting destroyed. Need to find some more chillers to party with but playing with randoms sucks ass. So many mfrs just be on their mics acting like babies and whining the whole time.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.11.24	Literally walking out of gamestop with it rn lol You on ps or pc??
Zac124 03.11.24	Been playing lots of Overwatch recently. Great game to play with friends through Discord. Also started playing Jurassic World Evolution 2 and it is pretty cool because dinosaurs.
Purpl3Spartan 03.12.24	Helldivers is cross platform wildcard so it shouldnâ€™t matter too much thankfully
Get Low 03.12.24	I'm playin' Plumbers Don't Wear Ties: Definitive Edition on the Switch. Amazing game.
someone 03.13.24	Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is also fun... that's kinda it. it's mostly for those who just really want more of Dishonored games. but it has a bit clunkier mechanic, for some reason. like the Blink/Far-Reach ability is replaced with Displace here, which makes you first place a figure and then teleport there. it's like an unnecessary extra step just to make it a little different from the other games. and a few more wlil nuisances like that, like the suddenly oddly janky camera and sensitivity. but i loved the idea of contracts as side missions. some of them were pretty fun. more fun than even the main plotline.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.13.24	I think that you are spot on but I also think itâ€™s one of the best stories in the series. In fact, I seriously find Billie and Daud to to be far more interesting than Emily and Corvo. Knife of Dunwall, Brigmore Witches, and DOTO add so much to the base games. Some of the best single player DLC ever. Like, to me Lair of the Shadow Broker set the gold standard for single player DLC, I think that all three of the Dishonored expansions match that. Essentially just adding more of what you love, and telling an amazing story on top of it.
someone 03.13.24	Oh absolutely. As far as DLCs go, this one is among the absolute best. If they expanded it into a full game, I could see it becoming easily top 1 or 2. Love so much of it, but it has just a few of these little off-steps that annoy me a notch.
unclereich 03.14.24	battlefront classic collection, instant action!
frozencarl 03.14.24	Helldivers 2 babyyyy. been playing that on the weekend with my bros. outrageous fun. started Uncharted 1 the other day. playing thru the whole collection after starting with Uncharted 4. really do not like the combat in this one so far. cover system is frustrating lol
TheTripP 03.15.24	@unclereich how did the launch issues make you feel? Online issues with lag and crashing and the like? I already owned the games on PC as is so the issues being so glaring with it makes it feel like a heavy cash grab, PLUS NO CROSSPLAY
AnimalForce1 03.15.24	Has anyone else been going back to past releases? I've rediscovered my love for Monster Hunter World, finally bought Iceborne, and I'm actually trying to complete the game now
unclereich 03.15.24	@Trip Definitely disappointed with it. To me it's not enough of an improvement over say buying an old Xbox and playing it on there. Graphics aren't improved, the audio is really bad and the mechanics are messed up quite a bit. Overall not worth the price of admission but it would be very fun to play with a friend via splitscreen. Hopefully the company that remastered it makes some fixes to it. To give an analogy, it's sort of like if your friend showed you dune 2 but instead of the 4k they recorded it in a movie theater and burned it on a dvd. Is it the same movie? Yes, but there's clearly a reason to be upset. And I don't mean the aforementioned analogy in terms of just the graphics, I mean it for the overall gameplay. It's like they took people saying "we want an exact copy of the game but with modern graphics" too literally and the game is full of the same bugs and glitches it had in 2004 and 2005. There were a considerable amount of things wrong with the original games that they should have fixed going into it.But like I said playing with a friend would be super fun. I just expected more I guess. I didn't buy it for multiplayer and I'm still bummed, that's how bad it is.
TheTripP 03.15.24	@unclereich exactly, I want to like it and be excited but the in and out audio mixed with bad online experiences are enough to pull me away. I don't know if I will refund but they NEED to fix these issues!
Valzentia 03.15.24	I've been playing a lot of EverQuest and WWE 2K24.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.15.24	Damn thatâ€™s disappointing, I was pretty excited for that. Oh well gives me more time with Helldivers while they get their shit together
unclereich 03.15.24	im not going to refund because 31 dollars just isnt enough for me to lose sleep over and I'm having friends over tomorrow to play split screen, but it certainly doesn't feel like a 31 dollar game. maybe 10 bucks, but 3x that is crazy.
protokute 03.16.24	got back to RDR2 and I'm loving Rhodes, love the atmosphere, the town, and surrounding area and the story lines definitely took a step up from before.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.16.24	woo! Iâ€™m glad itâ€™s hooked you man.
Deathconscious 03.16.24	So this is kind of surprising to me considering everything ive heard about Arkham Origins, but so far i think i like it a little better than Arkham City. They definitely didnt add enough to it, it is largely the same, but the combat feels just a tiny bit better, i like the open world more both visually and how its laid out, and the fast travel is nice. And i think the voice actor for Batman is better in this one, i know that might be heresy, but thats how i feel. I also like the story better in this one. One thing i do miss is Mark Hamill. This guy does a good job, but Mark is a little better.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.16.24	Iâ€™ll have to go back and replay it but from what I remember the biggest criticism from fans in general was the fact that the Joker was in it at all, and I kinda feel the same way. It felt like he was shoehorned in instead of having Black Mask be the main baddie. Itâ€™s like Batman has such a huge rogues gallery to choose from and they just kept going back to Joker. My biggest gripe with it is that I think the level design is substantially weaker than Arkham City. The open world itself isnâ€™t terrible but there were so many moments in that game where levels just felt awkward to traverse, in this culminates in a sequence thatâ€™s in a high rise which I thought was just horrible. I donâ€™t completely agree about the voice acting but they are great, they both do a great job of playing younger versions of these characters, and I do like the story. Iâ€™ve been itching to get back into them since that Suicide Squad game came out, ill probably play through them again soon, itâ€™s been a while.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.16.24	â€¦ and that fucking bridge. It felt like Arkham City didnâ€™t need fast travel because you could zip anywhere you wanted to go pretty quickly.
Deathconscious 03.16.24	Joker doesnt feel out of place in the story to me, but i do share the annoyance with Joker having to be in everything when there are so many other villains to explore. Weirdly i like the Christmas setting. I thought i would be annoyed by it, but it makes the game kinda cozy in a way lol. On another note, the game overall feels more noir than City which i appreciate.
Deathconscious 03.16.24	Speaking of getting around, a minor gripe i have with Origins is that getting around in the open world with the grapple gun is just a tad less convenient. Seems like there are less areas to grab onto compared to City.
Slex 03.17.24	Tried Enshrouded, have heard really good things and it looked awesome but unfortunately I'm not into it at all
Colton 03.17.24	dragonâ€™s dogma 2 looks cool
zaruyache 03.17.24	started on the Archthrones mod for Dark Souls 3. One of the areas is just the ds2 Heide's Tower of Flame so i'm having panic flashbacks ðŸ‘
protokute 03.18.24	doing a second playthrough of Elden Ring, going for a Greatsword STR build
TheTripP 03.18.24	@proto go get that Zwei baby
protokute 03.18.24	Do you think it's better than the Greatsword you find in Caelid? (I really like the Zwei in DS1) I'm liking how hard the Greatsword hits. But I'm still not up to the STR requirements yet (but close) and it is heavy af, so I'm having to double yield it and change my armor
TheTripP 03.18.24	I think it is better because I prefer it's playstyle, so it comes to preference! Why not try both and see what you think
4N4LB34D5 03.18.24	ruins greatsword gang RISE UP
Slex 03.19.24	Finally playing Diablo IV, it's been an absolute fucking blast so far

someone 03.19.24	welcome back, discussion of Bioshock. i first found out about that game when it came out when i was a kid and just the look and the setting freaked the fuck outta me.
Demon of the Fall 03.19.24	"been waiting for a deckbuilder thats anywhere near as good as slay the spire" I learnt this existed just now, but I'm intrigued never really played this sort of game but it seems fun. I'd probably get more mileage out of having the Switch version, but it's unfortunately expensive compared to my alternative (PS4)
FowlKrietzsche 03.19.24	Highly recommend Slay the Spire, Switch version is nice for the portability fs. Maybe buy it on ps4 and wait for a sale on switch? I bought it on two consoles and have never regretted it
denboy 03.19.24	for the love of god and all that is holy, for the sake of your soul and your well being, don't buy slay the spire - signed StS player with 750 hours logged and counting
Ryus 03.19.24	lmao i have about that much across two platforms best game ever made
Ryus 03.19.24	have you checked out balatro denboy
Havey 03.19.24	baba is you - been stuck on the level PARADE
Ryus 03.19.24	great game, i should pick that one back up
RadioSuicide 03.19.24	Game is a brain fuck, one of the more memorable puzzle games Iâ€™ve ever played. prob dumped 20hrs hours into balatro in the last week or so. Game is beyond amazing and may end up stealing the throne as my favorite deck builder ever
Havey 03.19.24	how far'd you get ryus
Wildcardbitchesss 03.19.24	Thinking of picking up Pacific Drive. Anyone here play it?
Slex 03.20.24	I have not but I've heard nothing but good things about it
Wildcardbitchesss 03.21.24	eh fuck it booted up Arkham Origins. Here we goooooooâ€¦ again
hexfix93 03.21.24	Mass Effect legendary edition (already played all the ME games, but having a blast with the remasters) Last Epoch Diablo 4 (started recently, so far much better than I expected)
Wildcardbitchesss 03.21.24	I was literally debating whether I wanted to tackle the Arkham games for the millionth time or the Mass Effect games for the millionth time. Maybe Iâ€™ll alternate. Finish origins and start up Mass Effect 1, so onâ€¦ Iâ€™ve never actually played the whole trilogy as femshep so maybe Iâ€™ll do that.
someone 03.21.24	speaking of puzzle games, anyone tried Antichamber? got it off Steam sale in Winter, but am only now getting around to it. serious brainfuck, but also fun to try and beat
Egarran 03.21.24	I have Antichamber and it's yet another game that was good but didn't hook me, so it sits at around 20% finished. Just get slay the spire.
Gmork89 03.21.24	I agree Diablo 4 is pretty fun still, just finished up season 4. Im debating on getting DD2 but I have a 4 month old now, between Helldivers and Diablo I just dont know what else I can fit in with a baby haha.
budgie 03.21.24	im still playing diablo 2
Slex 03.21.24	Also playing Diablo IV for the first time and it's awesome so far
Gmork89 03.21.24	The endgame is pretty shallow and repetitive but I don't really get into the deep min/maxing stuff anyways so it works out fine for me.
Egarran 03.21.24	I only had fun with the Necro, thankfully you can build him in very different ways.
Slex 03.22.24	I am playing as the Necromancer actually and yeah it's a lot of fun, keen to try Druid and Sorcerer as well tho
Gmork89 03.22.24	I did a druid for this current season, its decent, I ended up going full Storm which is kind of boring but I feel like some of the other builds could be fun.
protokute 03.26.24	in my second playthrough of Elden Ring and it really reinforces my idea of what a perfectly realized game, Lies of P is.
TheTripP 03.26.24	I still need to beat Elden Ring, I am close to finishing but keep getting sucked back into DS1
protokute 03.26.24	it is really hard to get through the mid to late part of the game, I get very burnt out of it by that time, and its various flaws become way more evident.
Gmork89 03.26.24	I just dont have time to replay something like Elden Ring, way too much, and I did a very thorough initial playthrough.
Anthracks 03.27.24	mario vs donkey kong remake, princess peach showtime, and alan wake II
Wildcardbitchesss 03.27.24	Alan Wake 2 fucking rules but man, really unsatisfying ending. After waiting that long it kinda just leaves you with more questions. Hope it doesnâ€™t take long for a a Part 3, or I at least hope this DLC gives us a little more.
protokute 03.27.24	Yeah, I loved Alan Wake 2, but I wanted so much more, specially more time in Bright Falls with Saga, it all felt so short...
Anthracks 03.27.24	i'm taking my time with it. only play about an hour a day at most
Wildcardbitchesss 03.27.24	I loved Saga. Honestly to the point where I kinda had to force myself to do the Alan sections because I just felt like her parts were so much more interesting. Alanâ€™s stuff with the dark place is really cool but I donâ€™t feel like we needed to spend as much time there as we did. Like the more they revealed of it the less interesting it became. Still a really great game with an incredible story thatâ€™s just a few notches short of being a total masterpiece.
protokute 03.27.24	I liked the Alan stuff..... but I always wanted to get over it the fastest I could so I could go back to Saga in Bright Falls, I just loved the atmosphere there.
Gmork89 03.27.24	Alan Wake 2 was amazing agreed, do want some actual answers eventually though and not just more confusion.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.27.24	it suffers greatly from being the â€œmiddle chapterâ€ If games were like they were 15-20 years ago, an ending like that wouldnâ€™t bother me. But these days AAA games have such massive budgets and such long development cycles, what im trying to say is weâ€™re not getting another Alan Wake game for probably like another 5 years. Hopefully Control 2 has a substantial crossover with Alan Wake because I was 12 when I played the first game and I will straight up be in my 30â€™s by the time we get a third game lmfao
TheTripP 03.28.24	for those playing Battlefront Complete Collection a new 15gb update came out for PC fixing most is not all the issues, console should be next week. If only they waited to launch the game for this update the backlash would have been a lot less of an issue
Wildcardbitchesss 03.29.24	good to know, Iâ€™ll still probably wait for a sale tho. Those games are fucking classics but I also havenâ€™t played them in probably 15 years. Iâ€™m afraid of how poorly they aged. Really thinking about pulling the trigger on that Marvelâ€™s Midnight Suns. Iâ€™m too hot on Marvel shit, and im aware that itâ€™s very different from X COM. But damn I love those games so much and it got great reviews. Anyone here love it/hate it?
Sharenge 03.29.24	still balls deep in my Greenskins campaign - death to da stunties! humiez is next Chaos get fucked
someone 04.04.24	being constantly peer-autism-pressured into playing Stardew Valley might as well y not
someone 04.04.24	hoping it is at least similar to Cloud Meadow
BaselineOOO 04.04.24	Sims 2, so fun! What I miss the most is the original soundtrack. Also I started Kingdom Come Deliverance and it's wonderful but I don't have enough time for it.
zakalwe 04.04.24	Back on a third play through of BG3. I missed my quality time with Scratch and the Owlbear
protokute 04.04.24	also doing another playthrough of Stardew Valley, what an amazing game, soundtrack is a masterpiece, also.
4N4LB34D5 04.04.24	anybody else play the stellar blade demo?? i was really impressed with it
Wildcardbitchesss 04.04.24	Started Ghost of Tsushima again. I love that Sucker Punch saw everyone asking for a feudal Japan Assassinâ€™s Creed game, and basically went â€œfuck it, weâ€™ll make it, and itâ€™s gonna be a lot better than assassinâ€™s creed anywaysâ€
nightbringer 04.05.24	It's Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0, Pokemon Run & Bun, and a little bit of Monster Hunter World for me right now.
Egarran 04.05.24	Back on Diablo 4. Had 3 friends who played it but they gave up on it and I wish it was easier to join a party of strangers. My OP necro needs to flex.
Scheumke 04.05.24	Finally coming around to playing God of War Ragnarok. Just something to spend my time with while waiting for Shadow of the Erdtree.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.05.24	Itâ€™s a good ass game man, and do the side quests. Most of them are just as interesting as the main story
CugnoBrasso 04.05.24	I'm having an internet fight on linkedin, who needs videogames
Deathconscious 04.07.24	Just finished Arkham Origins. I see what wildcard was talking about with some of the janky level design. City had better level design but i think Origins had better writing and overall atmosphere. Got Arkham Knight coming in the mail now.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.07.24	righteous brother. Itâ€™s definitely a hot take but I think Knight is easily the best in the series. Gameplay, writing, graphics (obv), actingâ€¦ itâ€™s all incredible. The biggest factor I see in people that love it vs people that donâ€™t is how you feel about the Batmobile. Youâ€™re gonna be spending a lot of time in it. But personally I thought it varied up the gameplay and a lot of the challenges with it are completely optional if you donâ€™t care for it. And the bossesâ€¦ the bosses suck
Deathconscious 04.07.24	At this point i feel like things need some variation, Origins didn't add much to the formula, so maybe ill appreciate the Batmobile. Stoked to play it though, ive enjoyed all of them so far, so regardless of where i would rank it im sure im going to have fun with it.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.07.24	I have a strong feeling youâ€™ll like the story a lot. It involves the bat family a lot more and you can see Bruce as a very vulnerable character for the first time in these games. The Knight was teased as this big mysteryâ€¦ donâ€™t let his identity be your main focus during the story.
TheTripP 04.08.24	been playing Dark Souls 2 for the first time, while it isn't no DS1 I am still having some enjoyable moments and plan to beat it! Although I heard the bosses in the DLC are great the bosses I have fought so far have been bland and dull
nol 04.10.24	been emulating a lot lately, recently beat God of War: Chains of Olympus, Rayman 2 and New SÃºper Mario DS. All 3 games were fun short experiences, which Iâ€™m into. Gimme a short linear experience with no fluff and fun gameplay and Iâ€™m probably gonna like the game. Right now Iâ€™m playing Spider-Man PS4, and which has been a blast just to swing through the city and learn all the combat mechanics, and X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse which is a Nostalgia Overload game with the same gameplay as Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Itâ€™s just fun.
nol 04.10.24	funny you guys are playing the Arkham games cuz I was thinking how similar Spider-Man is to that that formula. I really enjoyed Arkham Asylum and Arkham City back in the day.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.10.24	Havenâ€™t played the second one but yeah the first was really solid. Still nothing touches the free flow combat in Arkham imo. Everything just feels so smooth and any time your combo gets fucked I almost always feel like it was a mistake I made and not the game pulling some bs
botb 04.10.24	Anybody else still playing ff7 rebirth? Iâ€™m like 80 hours in, slowly plugging away lol
DungeonBoy 04.10.24	Not yet, i'm stoked to play it. I had just finished FF16 when it dropped and couldn't do rebirth back to back, so I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima instead. But i'm very stoked about rebirth
nol 04.10.24	Wish I had a ps5 for that and ff16. Both look like huge improvements over ff7 remake and ff15
smaugman 04.16.24	lot of cringe takes on the witcher 3 in this thread
someone 04.16.24	started playing Goat Simulator 3 with the missus. some dumb shit in that game but it's so fun. that said, you do kinda have to turn your head off and not think it is taking you places. general chaos is the goal
HelloJoe 04.16.24	I never tried a Goat Sim game but games can make for some good slapstick. I didn't know the series was still going. There's that new one, too. Squirrel With a Gun. I think it's similarly slapstick.
Devastator 04.16.24	The Fallout show has me playing New Vegas and godamn is that game still good. Shooting is ehh but the writing and the world building is top notch.
loveisamixtape 04.18.24	just started dying light. only thru the prologue but really enjoying it
JayEnder 04.18.24	Finally getting around to the Arkham games myself and man I gotta say City might be in my top ten fav games OAT. Amazing game start to finish, best story and a sandbox actually done right. Asylum was excellent too, had the best atmosphere and I loved the horror elements with Scarecrow/Killer Croc. I'm on Origins now and whewww the Deathstroke fight was absolutely peak lol. So much fun, love bosses where you don't have to fight annoying ass goons that distract you from the actual boss. Just a good ol' fashioned one on one against a complete badass. Wildcard got me hyped for Knight, can't wait to conquer this franchise.
Get Low 04.18.24	Currently playing a fun little card game called "Logiking" that I found in the Switch store.
Deathconscious 04.19.24	Started Arkham Knight, not too far in but its good so far. Feels a little weird fighting tanks with the Batmobile, doesnt feel very Batman-esque, but its fun to drive and i like how they added it as an element to progressing to new areas. Also liking how he moves in this one, controls cant really get any better than this. And this Batman suit is easily the coolest looking of the series (the upgraded one you get early on, i mean). Kinda miss beating up cops in Origins though lol, feels kinda gross being all buddy buddy with the whole precinct, but thats Batman for ya.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.19.24	Gentlemen! I can promise you Knight ups the ante in every possible wayâ€¦ except the boss fights. Iâ€™m not gonna spoil anything but just donâ€™t expect anything as good as the Deathstroke or Mr. Freeze fights. I definitely consider them to be the peaks as far as bosses go and thereâ€™s literally nothing like that in this game. Still my favorite, just such a huge missed opportunity in a damn near perfect game.
Demon of the Fall 04.19.24	"The Fallout show has me playing New Vegas and godamn is that game still good. Shooting is ehh but the writing and the world building is top notch." was hyped to hear the show is good, but I don't have Amazon Prime. I'll have to be patient I revisited a little NV recently, just loaded up an old save. Idk if my memories are hazy but it seems waaaaaaay harder not to accidentally get stuck in the 'NCR hate me loop' where you cannot regain their trust due to being attacked constantly and having to kill them I was rebelling against their establishment, a little, but didn't think it was as much of an issue unless you went around murdering their troops, or being too friendly with the Legion, lol
Demon of the Fall 04.19.24	and yeah Arkham City is a blinder of a game and I'm not even a Batman fan / interested in the lore etc.
protokute 04.19.24	Hyper Demon, an even trippier successor of Devil Daggers
TheTripP 04.19.24	@proto thanks for mentioning Hyper Demon, I had no idea there was a successor and just bought!
Deathconscious 04.19.24	Im not all that into Batman stuff either, or superhero stuff in general. But i love the Arkham games, i think im going to be bummed when im done with Knight and there are no more to play.
protokute 04.19.24	@TheTripP I also found out about it today haha
DType 04.19.24	Trying to get all medals in WipEout Pure
Scheumke 04.20.24	Finished the main story of GoW Ragnarok and it was great. Some of the best characterwork in gaming. The end was slighly too Avengers-esque for me but I understood why they did it. Amazing game overall. Cleaning up the realms now and going for platinum.
budgie 04.22.24	booted up fallout 3 for the first time since 2008 and its pretty fuckin fun holy guacamole
anarchistfish 04.22.24	fallout TV made me not even gaf about fallout 5 anymore tbh might try fallout 1 and 2 at some point
anarchistfish 04.22.24	"I was rebelling against their establishment, a little, but didn't think it was as much of an issue unless you went around murdering their troops, or being too friendly with the Legion, lol" nah NCR are shitheads mate. if you go yes man route it's an impasse I've started this game no fewer than 3 times and never finished it. My latest save is buried on a crusty disused laptop suffocated with unnecessary mods so yeah
Demon of the Fall 04.22.24	I hadn't even gotten that far. I did help the Khan's at Boulder City (or whatever it's called). Negotiated for the NCR to let them leave unobstructed. So perhaps that's what got their back up. Otherwise, just a couple of cheeky comments in interactions, from memory
Jurtz 04.22.24	To respond to the original poster: Deeds of Flesh - Crown of Souls
nol 04.22.24	Just beat Spiderman, very close to 100% it besides the crimes. The third act was pretty awesome, with all the villains it throws at you. And it ends on a banger of a cliffhanger.
nol 04.22.24	Iâ€™m trying to play GOW but the fps is way worse than I remember, might be a ps4 problem
Wildcardbitchesss 04.22.24	yeah man after getting a ps5 I canâ€™t go back. If I find out a game isnâ€™t running at 60 fps itâ€™s a hard pass
Scheumke 04.24.24	Yeah it's the reason I haven't gone back to Bloodborne in a hot minute, though it's in my top 5 favorite games of all time. But for the love of god Fromsoft, give us a ps5 remaster with 60fps because the 30fps lock makes it close to unplayable at this point.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.24.24	[2] I would legitimately pay full price for a Bloodborne remasterâ€¦ or a remake similar to Demonâ€™s Souls.
Scheumke 04.24.24	Without thinking twice I would pay full price. They could be printing money right now, it would be one of the easiest cashgrabs in gaming, kinda surprised they haven't done it yet.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.24.24	Thereâ€™s gotta be some kind of legal bullshit in the way. I truly donâ€™t see why Sony would do it with Demonâ€™s Souls and not Bloodborne. As much as people love the original, nobody was really desperate for a remake of Demonâ€™s Souls. Bloodborne would literally be a system seller for like at least five people I know personally.
Demon of the Fall 04.24.24	"yeah man after getting a ps5 I canâ€™t go back. If I find out a game isnâ€™t running at 60 fps itâ€™s a hard pass" fortunately I don't have this issue and if I continue with my ps4 then I never will! Ignorance is bliss
frozencarl 04.24.24	I was gonna dive back into the Fallout games after starting the show but then my brother randomly gifted me Elden Ring. He was absolutely enamored by that game while I'm struggling to get into it. any tips?? I played a decent bit of Dark Souls 1 but am truthfully not that into soulslikes.
Wildcardbitchesss 04.24.24	I feel like you basically just jumped into the deep end without knowing how to swim. Iâ€™m a fan and I only made it about five hours before feeling a little overwhelmed. I do plan on getting back into it and giving it another shot once the DLC drops
twlight 04.24.24	this weekend will be fallout 4 all day everyday
Ryus 04.24.24	balatro still chasing 100% completion but it is a slog
twlight 04.24.24	frozencarl - try a magic build in elden ring. take your time in the begining area and just farm runes and level up. you'll get the hang of it but it really takes about 5 solid hours of playing for it to click
TheTripP 04.24.24	@Frozen I suggest trying your best not to overwhelm yourself with it all, there is so much there to figure out and learn. I feel the best way for newcomers is to slowly explore and just get a feel of the world, it will click in time so don't get to down if you keep dying because that is just part of the experience, also don't be afraid to summon and google tips when you need it.
botb 04.24.24	All the old heads need to check out prodeus, itâ€™s like an old school doom clone with modern quality of life upgrades and more guns. Shits so fun
nightbringer 04.24.24	"Trying to get all medals in WipEout Pure" The psp wipeout games are so good.
Demon of the Fall 04.25.24	"All the old heads need to check out prodeus, itâ€™s like an old school doom clone with modern quality of life upgrades and more guns. Shits so fun" I was instantly interested in this based on your description... then I checked a very short video and was even more sold. It looks awesome. Integrated map editor too, shit this looks like a blast! Thanks! (funny how the only way to get my hyped about 'new' games is 'nostalgia-core', lol)
PumpBoffBag 04.25.24	Iâ€™m in the mood for a new horror game (whilst waiting for Elden Ring dlc to drop) and just noticed Outlast Trials and Amnesia: The Bunker are on sale. Has anyone played them and are they worth it? Iâ€™ve played the other games in both series and enjoyed them for the most part.
budgie 04.25.24	have you played condemned criminal origins?
PumpBoffBag 04.25.24	Yeah liked that game a lot, although I did prefer Bloodshot. Wish they made more
protokute 04.25.24	SWAT 4 is an incredible horror game for me. There's no bigger thrill than opening a door in that game and not knowing what you will find. Seriously it's the game that kept me on edge the whole time more than any other "horror" game out there. Very underappreciated game
PumpBoffBag 04.25.24	Man Iâ€™ve not played the SWAT games for tiiiiime, sunk so many hours into CQB back in the day. 4 was cool too but never really returned to it after finishing
protokute 04.25.24	I've replayed it a while back with my friend, and had a great time
Wildcardbitchesss 04.25.24	Speaking of the whole â€œwish they made moreâ€â€¦ Rockstar should definitely remaster the manhunt games. I missed the boat and just watching videos, well what Iâ€™m saying is a modern version of that would be fucking sick
PumpBoffBag 04.25.24	Yeah the Manhunt games were some of my fave stealth titles, even with 2â€™s ridiculously OTT edited version. A 3rd/ remaster of the OGs would be great but not sure they could get away with it in the modern world. The backlash was intense even at the time of release
denboy 04.25.24	man i really should start up condemned again i never managed to get into it back in the day because i played for 30 minutes got jump scared, horror-quit and went 'fuck this shit i'm out'
botb 04.25.24	@demon haha hell yeah. The games Iâ€™ve been playing lately are way more throwback than triple A most of the time too but I love the style. Condemned is sorely missed in modern horror, the whole CSI aspect of it and then the hyper intense combatâ€¦ nothing else like it. I feel like condemned 2 got kinda shit on in reviews but it was still a very scary game. The story got a little wee woo wee woo but I wouldâ€™ve loved to have seen where they went with it. Looking for a new horror game too but I think Iâ€™ll probably just finally play the dead space remake
Wildcardbitchesss 04.25.24	ya botb Iâ€™d highly recommend it. I canâ€™t remember who really disagrees with me (maybe Jay? idk), but imo it far surpasses the original. Thereâ€™s also the RE4 remake if you havenâ€™t played that, tho the original for that one was a little before my time
Wildcardbitchesss 04.25.24	I havenâ€™t played the second one, but the first Oxenfree is a solid little horror-adjacent indie game
