Just finished Signalis, got the "Promise" ending. Feel pretty empty after that, it's such a good game and is further proof that games don't have to have incredible graphical fidelity or huge teams to be fantastic and look great.
Between Breathedge and call of juarez: gunslinger at the moment
I wanted to play Star Wars Rebellion, but my copy is doing a thing where all the icons in-game are upside down. Apparently it’s a known issue running the game on newer OS (How? WHY?!) but until it’s fixed I can’t really play.
I’ve been playing Call Of Duty 2 as part of taking notes about the roots of the series. Not sure if there’s enough meat for a proper essay but I will see.
I really can’t wait for Christmas break to immerse myself in something. Maybe Deus Ex.
Jumped back into some Division 2 lately with friends. Been fun power level my mates who aren't level 40.
Returnal
I completed this amazing game, but I'm still trying to complete all the ciphers in the last biome, and it's taking forever.
I continue to feed my X4 addiction. Picked up the DLC during the Thanksgiving sale. I'm on my second play, about 35 hours in. Realized I've made a lot of mistakes, but that's half the fun.
I just finished Yakuza 3. I have loved 0, 1, and 2. 3 was tough simply due to the lack of music cues. There is so much time spent listening to "ambient_beach.mp3" or "bustling_small_city.ogg" that it was getting tedious. The story is great and it shows off a side of Kiryu that hadn't been developed and was great fun to see. The gameplay was so-so. Stiff and of the era. I'm currently taking a short break before I dig into Y4. I'm really excited to get up to LaD and that game style, but I am enjoying the story to get there.
Recently decided to give 'Oxygen not included' a try. Still learning the ropes on getting basics sorted out and what is the best path for research.
My brother got me Lethal Company and I've been enjoying being told what to do and how to survive by a random 13 year old through a walkie talkie while 2 other random 13 year olds try to hit me with shovels and ladders.
Bg3 and The Finals, depending on my mood.
Bg3 is great, super happy that they fixed some of the worst bugs in the last patch (like being shot at by enemies through the floor when you are on the 2nd floor of a building).
The Finals definitely needs some balancing changes made, but I'm still enjoying it. Excited to see how the game grows, it will probably replace Apex Legends for me if they keep fixing it.
Gta online, v rising, planetside. Picked up atomicrops on my switch again and I’ve miraculously made it past year one given the face I have no idea what I’m doing
Better question, what was I playing? Since I completed Metroid Fusion in exactly 2 hours according to the in game timer. And since I set up a DS emulator on my Laptop I've been playing New Super Mario Bros for the first time in years, as well as replaying Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team.
I just finished A Plagues take and Before I Forget. So I’m between story games at the moment.
I’m going to be playing a heck of a lot of euro truck simulator 2 because it’s the holiday challenge and I find the portals to the snowy areas cool because I’ve always wanted snow in the northern countries. The physics are pretty cool.
I typical replay Earthbound this time of the year because it’s just a nostalgic time and it’s my favorite game, so I’ll probably play that by the light of the Christmas tree this week, either on my GBA, my pi zero 2 powered Gameboy, or my pitendo cart.
That free giveaway Desolate co-op. It's like STALKER-lite mixed with Generation Zero.
A neat little early access open world action RPG called The Bloodline.
Starfield a bit, working on getting a Voyager III.
Vampire Survivors when I just want something simple to play.
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on Switch.
Desolate is a hoot. Big F.E.A.R. vibes to it too.
Spiral Knights and CSD3 with gf, Black Ops III campaign on realistic with a friend, and some Skyrim by myself.
Nier Replicant, i had great fun going through >!dreams!< in Forest of Myth, that was really interesting change of gameplay.
Eidolon. Nice little gem, very relaxing and I’m constantly wanting to find the next scrap of info. I’ve been compiling them into a timeline as best I can.
I feel like this gem of a game has pretty much been forgotten. Never expected to see someone mention it. Very atmospheric and one of my favorite walking simulator games.
Yeah and it's almost impossible to find any info about it because of some stupid Warframe thing that uses 'Eidolon' in the title. Get out of here with that AAA microtransaction crap game. :-)
I just finished Mario Wonder. I haven't collected all of the flower coins or topped all of the flag poles to get the Super secret ending. I'm not sure if I want to master the time trials to do that.
How do you find the overall quality of the game? I thought it was cute and in general feels a little easier than Mario Bros Deluxe.
Then again I'm only at the initial stages, keep getting sidetracked by other stuff.
Among other things I've been playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA which is an expansion of stalker anomaly which is a mod rehash of the original stalker games. It's a single player immersive-sim/fps/looter-shooter/survival/sandbox game set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Very tough, but has been really fun (maybe a bit infuriating at times). I recommend it to those who like a bit of pain. It has replaced single player Tarkov in my rotation for now.
I've been exploring the zone, finding and repairing guns, sitting at campfires, fighting bandits and boars, and running away from other more dangerous things.
Also it's completely free btw.
I'm about to start a playthrough for the first time myself. I couldn't believe that it is actually stand-alone. I thought for sure you'd need to have the OG Stalker games but you don't and it warns that you shouldn't install over them if you have them either.
I never could get myself into the originals but I'm looking forward to GAMMA.
I never could either. I recommend you configure the durability for dropped guns and armour in your mod config. The game can be very stingy as set to default. Good luck!
Do you find that when you walk over sharp level geometry that the camera doesn't smoothly transition up/down? I really want to enjoy GAMMA but the constant jerkiness of the camera was really off-putting to me. Even moving the camera left and right feels like it's moving 1° at a time. It doesn't feel smooth whatsoever but maybe it's my settings or my ultra wide monitor.
I also run an ultra wide monitor. The sharp geometry thing happens to me too, mostly inside houses where there is like a small lip between rooms, or on stairs. Otherwise the camera seems fine. Maybe playing with the sensitivities or fov might help. Fov also seems to be calculated in a weird way, I have it set to 90 but it feels a lot wider.
Maybe it's just low fps? I'm only getting around 70 fps with a 3080 (3440x1440) at mostly default graphics settings (but it feels smooth enough for me) .
Hmm maybe it's the FOV or something. I'll play around with some settings to try to get higher FPS and see if it helps.
Thanks!
I just finished GoW Ragnarok Valhalla, really enjoyed the story and it feels like a nice place to leave it for a bit. Would like to see what else the modern Santa Monica can do
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4
The nostalgia + the recent news about the sequel of BT3 got me, I decided to fire this up in my smartphone with my Razer Kishi and Aethersx2, so far it runs very well, although I decided to play the story, so I haven't played that much with those new characters lol.
Trying to replay the early ac games. After finishing ac brotherhood, tried to get revelations running on steamdeck... for an hour. The issue as no surprise was drm and ubisoft. They had an old uplay launcher burned into the game, so I had to install a newer one with proton tricks. (This video saved me)
So bit annoyed, started the game and there have been some questionable changes, some buttons are switched around, there are now two weapon wheels, hookblade feels a bit clunky, but I haven't gotten far yet.
Dunno why, but it feels a bit bloated, the parkour feels worse, and Ezio always want to jump into haybales for some reason.
With the addition of Honour mode in BG3 I decided to finally start a Dark Urge playthru for the first time. It's been a wild ride, Shart and Gale died and I almost lost everyone in my party lol.
Armored Core 6, they added ranked matches today.
Dark Souls 1, want to finally 100% it.
Minecraft, because it's always nice.
