The thing about Speedball II was that it was made by The Bitmap Brothers. You can remake their games all you want, but it's always going to miss the X factor without the Bros.

Started the new D4 season, I don't have the expansion.

This is my second season and my second character, I went with a summoner Necromancer this time, I also skipped the Campaign and went straight to end-game.

I have to say I really find it quite boring.

I'm also getting stuck into Monster Hunter Rise, just passed 5 star missions, I'm playing with Great Sword and I'm enjoying the challenge, I think I'm beginning to understand what MH is all about now.

I agree with your second paragraph, but you do know there are plenty of good alternatives to Github right?

Cool, Sounds like it's worth a shot

What's the reading age for this series? I know it doesn't always matter, but some novels it breaks my immersion when I become aware that the reading age is more teenage than adult

Yeah the music is really nice.

I haven't seen the anime, I don't really know anything about the series apart from this game, but I hear there's quite a bit of other media out there

I'm trying to focus on Nier: Automata, halfway through the 9S playthrough, it's an interesting game, not very deep in gameplay, but every so often surprises me.

I've also just picked up Monster Hunter Rise with Sunbreak, I've never really played a MH game properly and find them really Grundy, but I hear Rise isn't so bad so wanted to give it a fair go.

Also just finished getting a Druid to 100 in Diablo IV, my first season and I am done with the game in about 2 weeks, I may try another class in the next season but the game seems very shallow and repetive.

Well that depends what you have.

Ikaruga for starters

Yes it's a great game and I would have liked to see it above D4, I would easily put Last Epoch and Path of Exile ahead too.

I always thought that Grim Dawn was no longer being developed on as the devs were working on a new game, but they keep pumping out patches and content.

I like this list, but how is Diablo IV on there as the sole representation of an ARPG, it's so bland.

So I figured it's about time I gave this game a shot.

I'm familiar with the series, but never really loved it, have played all previous titles but most of my time is on F3 and FNV.

I think the reason why I didn't pick this up earlier was because I didn't feel like going further into the Fallout universe, it felt like Bethesda were milking the golden cow.

Of course I'm trying it now as I picked it up cheap and the TV series has come along, of which in almost at the end of. It very much feels like the TV show is Fallout 4 on TV, but then I've never played F76.

The game is nice, very familiar to what I remember of F3 and FNV, I wonder how open it is with the perks system, or will I have to put levels into gunplay at some point?

I'm trying to stick to the main quest to start with, I've helped out the Minutemen, and then made a b-line to Diamond City before setting off to find the private detective so still pretty early on. Dogmeat is a fine companion for the road.

Any tips or suggesting for a good start, and play through?

There is a patch landing at the end of the month, so I haven't experimented with any mods just yet.
