Is anyone playing the new Mount and Blade II Bannerlord? It launched today. Thinking about buying it.

Are you playing it? If you do come by this site, let us know what you think.
It may be awhile, LOL. His post hinted he would not be coming up for air for a good period of time.

Finished Yakuza Kiwami 2. I enjoyed it more than Kiwami, in terms of story and mini-games. The story is not as good as Yakuza 0 though. I think Y0 fleshed out the villains and the secondary characters much better but the story in YK2 is still improved compared to YK. The combat does seem a bit wonky at times but I think the devs hadn't gotten the best out of the new combat design and game engine yet so I'll let that slide. It's still fun and refreshing cause it's not entirely the same actions and animations.

I've also been playing some L4D2 co-op and Warhammer: Vermintide co-op with friends. We're pretty much done with L4D2 and now starting Vermintide. Don't know how long it'll take to complete the whole levels.

I don't have any idea on what single-player game to start playing next. Been thinking on playing some JRPG just to feel more laid back.

Started Assassin's Creed Origins last Sunday and I'm enjoying it so far. Combat is a big departure from previous games, the biggest so far, I believe. I have mixed feelings about it but I'll give it some more time before I decide if I like it or not. Also haven't seen any connection so far to the creed, but again, I'm pretty early game.

So far the only stuff I don't like is Ubisoft trying to include other's people stuff in my game, littering the map with screenshots of other people and markers of where players died so I can avenge them and whatever else. I wish you could turn that off, but I haven't seen any option to do so in the settings.

It’s a very slow burn. Those connections will come a little bit at a time throughout. It is the “origin” of the creed after all.

Kiwami 1&2 are basically originals ported to new Dragon Engine that was introduced in Y6. Meanwhile Y0 uses Y5 engine and is de facto the essential title in the series with most polished mechanics. The reason why you see wonky mechanics in YK and YK2 is because they were not changed since their original PS2 release.
That's why Y6 is so criticized among fans of the franchise. It's a half baked game made to introduce the engine.

I expected the connection to show itself at some point. Good to know for sure. But yeah, I'm still pretty early on. I just left Siwa yesterday and I'm headed for Alexandria to meet Aya. I'm doing all the side stuff on my way there, so I'll probably take a while.
Also happy to see they've toned down the collectibles from previous games. I don't think there's even a screen with % of stuff collected/done anymore (haven't found it if there is). I spent more time than I wanted to collecting all chests and other stuff in previous games. Can't help myself though.
All in all, I started the game with low expectations, given all the known controversies with the latest AC games but I've been having a good time so far.

IMO, it's the best one after Black Flag. It was made by the Black Flag team. As the map reveals itself and you explore, I think you'll see that. It's just Egypt instead of Caribbean. The reinvention they did on this and then mostly improve upon a bit in Odyssey was IMHO necessary for the stale series to continue.

The wonky combat I referred to in YK2 is that it's kinda slow and the combat is not as satisfying as Y0 or Kiwami. Again, I think it's a conscious design choice and I'm fine with that but I do think it can be better. I think Kiwami's combat is fine, probably on par or better than 0.

Do fans criticize the whole game or just the combat regarding Y6?

The whole game is kinda skippable IMHO, it shows that they focused mostly on delivering new engine and didn't have enough time to polish up the core elements of the game and the story. To give you an idea:
no trainers, weapon mods, dealers, locker keys, around 50 substories, no bowling, pool, casino, no Purgatory, and no arena
Personally I skipped it because I feel like it's pretty much a tech demo for what was eventually delivered in Kiwami 1 and 2. After that they released Judgement, which is a spinoff set in the same universe, which also included new mechanics. All Dragon Engine titles run at 30 fps, so unless Judgement comes out on PC, or will get a 60 fps mode once PS5 gets released I'll be skipping it completely. I only got Kiwami's because I wanted to support them for actually releasing the series in the west.

The worst part is that the next Yakuza is based around a new character and is a turn-based strategy game (similar to Clan Creator in Kiwami). It got good review in Famitsu (the go-to Japanese game magazine) but I'd take it with a grain of salt.

----

On a different note.

Persona 5 Royal should arrive tomorrow. Yay me!

I went back to Resident Evil 2 and if it only had the puzzles, which I really enjoy, and not so many freaking monsters like Mr X scaring the pants off me, I'd probably play it a lot more.
My stepson (23) has played it twice and now tells me that he finished it in about five hours, but I've got about 40 years on him. Meanwhile, I've been at it for thirteen hours since late January and I'll probably be at it months down the road.
Still, I'm getting my money's worth.
I also had a look at the RE3 demo which is on Steam and has big graphic improvements and apparently an even scarier Mr X. :shadedshu:

As planned I started playing Black Mesa,this is my first experience with HL 1.:oops:

So far its pretty nice but it quickly reminded me of something I'm not a fan of in old school games.
Controls feel weird and clunky at times 'fell of the ladders a good few times already while trying to jump off' especially after playing DOOM Eternal.:laugh:

Now playing Final Fantasy IV on PC again, or rather continuing my new game++ save. Farming those damn tails for the best gear in the game, and I can tell you that this is going to take forever since the items' drop rate is illegaly low. Why I'm doing this? For achievements and gearing up for the two optional superbosses. :kookoo:

At least I've had one pink tail already, "just four more" to go. This took me hours to get already. :D

From what I've seen in reviews so far he's now more scripted than he was in RE2. His roaming mechanics used in RE2 was basically disabled.

Is there a mod for RE3 Remake where it alters Jill to be Julia Voth? The actress/model who lent her likeness to REmake, Revelations, 6? I'd prefer to do that.

Going to replay We Happy Few because I trailed off of it many updates ago. Currently playing: CONTROL (no Epic account of course), Resident Evil 2 Remake, DOOM 2016, YAKUZA 0 & Kiwami 1, DiRT (I have a few), THE WITCHER III: Wild Hunt (with mods), and some others. Trying to figure out modding NieR: Automata is taking some getting used to.
Emulators: Too many to list.

Finished the Control Foundation DLC - happy to excise Doom Eternal from my mind. Now lost, waiting for Cyberpunk to come out. I try not to buy games (have other things to focus on) but I'd like something to take away the blues. I like thoughtful games that aren't run & gun. But I still like action. To date, I think The Witcher III is my universal all time favourite product. Ever. Period.

I'm sure CDPR mentioned the series isn't dead.....

Would be nice for CDPR to give THE WITCHER 1 an enhanced remake using III's engine. Only problem I have with that game, I love the combat mechanics though, are a LOT of the NPCs are just copy pasted.
It's fine though since I own all three, physical releases mind ya, and with mods. Eagerly anticipating Cyberpunk 2077.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
how the heck did i pass on that series ... good thing GoG DRM free bring back the "hey! you got that game, can i borrow it from you? my library is running dry, you know how it is during these times... oh? you want to borrow TW3 TWH? sure let's make a swap!" (needless to mention that we will both end up buying the games after a while ... at last i hope he will, because sure do i will )

oh well starting by the middle (borrowed from a friend as mentioned above, solo play only obviously )

hilariously hilarious ... yeah i know, shame on me to never have played Borderland franchise before ...

weapon name convention is ... explicit, specially the bandits one ... ohhhh my eyes ...

it give a Rage 2 cell shaded feeling ...


also ... well i do own the key for the game but STEAM keep mentioning it is already used, i assume it's like Space Marines: i probably registered it on the second account (Rage 1 also like that) i could figure out my old login and do a family library sharing ... it's faster to get a crack for them ...
SpaceHulkGame  4_1_2020 8_05_35 PM.jpgSpaceHulkGame  4_1_2020 8_07_36 PM.jpg
well ... i will do the same later on that one once i finish the 2 above (ok maybe not Borderland 2 as it is quite long)

and talking about GoG having oldies i played in the 90s ... i am almost considering rebuying it on GoG since the price is ultra low (and i did on STEAM for some, like Baldurs gate 1 and 2 Kotor 1 and 2 Outcast 1.1 et caetera )

ouuuhhh that's some logo i didn't see in a huuuuuge while

From what I've seen in reviews so far he's now more scripted than he was in RE2. His roaming mechanics used in RE2 was basically disabled.
At least in RE2 Mr X doesn't go into most of the safe areas, which gives your heart time to catch up. The puzzles are great and knock the spots off the TR ones, in that you really have to think.

I went back to Resident Evil 2 and if it only had the puzzles, which I really enjoy, and not so many freaking monsters like Mr X scaring the pants off me, I'd probably play it a lot more.
My stepson (23) has played it twice and now tells me that he finished it in about five hours, but I've got about 40 years on him. Meanwhile, I've been at it for thirteen hours since late January and I'll probably be at it months down the road.
Still, I'm getting my money's worth.
I also had a look at the RE3 demo which is on Steam and has big graphic improvements and apparently an even scarier Mr X. :shadedshu:

Played RE2 last year with no problems at all.
about 2 hours of gameplay i reckon.
decided to have another blast today and now the game brightness is really dark in-game.

have checked the brightness settings and all seems fine.
must be a bug

Picked up a copy of World War Z from the EGS. Anyone else think it's really a close copy of L4D?
