What are you playing?

I thought cp2077 was good enough. I just was going through a phase where I hated technology and didn't want to play a game all about augmenting the body with it lol

makes sense, really need to be in right mood for certain stuff. I really have a great appreciation for indie games now because of this. there was like a 1-2 year spell I just couldn't play any games AAA or otherwise, then I finally gave Slay the Spire, Wizard of Legend, Dead Cells, and other indie games a try, and it re-sparked my love for gaming, and now I can even enjoy AAA's again... I think it's normal to go through phases, but also I think AAA games sometimes miss the target so often we become disenchanted and need a reminder.
 
Can't agree much more. I used to find it a wonderfully relaxing thing after stresses at work to come home and spend a couple to three hours gaming on whatever my ADHD mind had latched on to for the moment, but these days, it's almost a task to get up the energy to get excited about playing, even new games... I need a vacation lol

Same, I really enjoyed the opening of HZD. I would encourage all young women gamers to play it.

Games are a brain vacation to me...vacation as in my brain always needs to take a sht. :)
 
@silentbogo I played Andromeda after almost 1 year from its release. Everything was cleaned up!

I understand that YouTubers review the game/product on the day of release of version 1.0 - and they give a very harsh verdict based on their initial experience and not on something....updates that may come, or may not. But I do feel like Andromeda was judged very harshly.

Coming from the trilogy, Andromeda was bad. If you never played Mass Effect, Andromeda is quite good.
-------------------------

In almost 1 month the remastered trilogy is coming up - My favorite game of all times, ever since I started gaming back in 1994



The sad part is that they're remastering cuz they can't make a new one. :(

I was "lucky" enough to do both, initial launch, and heavily patched version. First time around it was so bad, I gave up right after establishing my first settlement on EoS. Second time around I played for about 15 hours and gave up, cause the story was hurting my brain too much.
This time I simply took off my thinking cap and started ignoring the story.
I'm a big fan of the original trilogy, so under normal circumstances I'd be eye-rolling again and quitting after a few hours. What's different this time, is that CP2077 opened my eyes to how bad it can really be, which made me more forgiving to bugs and glitches. At least in ME:Andromeda you have a finished roleplaying system, inventory, and crafting. I may not agree with some decisions, but at least it works and it's consistent. There are some oversights, but nothing as drastic as spending 2 hours disassembling junk and re-assembling crafting components just to make some fancy leather pants in CP, or having whole sections of skill trees that do jack sh#t :banghead:

They probably do a remaster cause that's all they have a budget for, after recent failures.
Even then, I'm not impressed. It's basically re-texturing with few fresh-er post-processing effects, and at least from my point of view it makes the game look even uglier. Instead of lively characters in a washed-out background now it looks like clay dolls on a slightly sharper background.
 
Just finished "A Crack In The Slab" level (widely known as Dust District mission) in Dishonored 2. Holeee shit! My mind is fucking blown. The district itself and the squabbling between factions is nothing to write home about. But once you get inside the Aramis mansion all hell breaks loose regarding sanity. You got two timelines to play around in. And a third one depending on your action in the past timeline. For those who didn't play this game I wish I could show you some pics buy my mind was so fucking distracted. I know I've said it before that I rarely if never replay games but I feel like this game merits another run. Preferably a violent one since my current playthrough is a wimpy stealth run.

Bravo Arcane Studios bravo. I haven't finished the game and already clapping my hands off to your gem of a game.
 
Right now playing Outriders, too bad thew Game is so buggy that I get a maximum of 1.5 hrs of play while I am on vacation.
 
Now I can finally concentrate on some other Resident Evil as I finally got all achievements from 3 Remake.

Shit, I like the old face better.

I can't

Outriders is horrible. It's a single-player game with sometimes co-op involvement.
The game feels like it's been made in 2009-2010. The performance for how mediocre it looks it's horrible.

Remember Gears from 2007, yeah...well the game has not improved its camera since then, when you run you still have that camera "drag" - Outriders has the same mechanic. Who told the, it's a good one?

I wanted to like Outriders soo much. I think it's a fail. Too bad for the story, it started to grow on me

Picked up The Godfather: The Game for PS2. I remember playing this game way back in the day... probably with my old FX5200 Ultra. Not sure if I had the Pentium 4 yet or the Celeron still... :laugh:

I started it up real quick just to ensure everything was going to work okay. So far, I've killed 3 people, stolen a car (not sure if I still have it, or if it disappeared), and extorted 3 businesses. Oh, and I bribed some police guy.

The story is what has me. The combat is at times great but the bugs are terrible.
 
Watch Dogs 2, aka Wash Dogs, lol, is my go-to game again after finally planting an exploit in the satellite.
I like the pace, the hacking puzzles, the mission progression and the way the writers have captured the quirky world of the DedSec hackers.

That is one of the most brilliant levels I’ve ever played in gaming! I love it. That game also has another level that is a contender for that title as well.

I’ve played both characters with high and low chaos each, so 4 times. It’s indeed worthy of replays just for the excellent levels!
 
Started on Half-Life Alyx (on an Acer Mixed Reality Headset) and the inital reaction is blown away. The second reaction was a feeling of sickness, but that may be because of the beers.
 
A bit of Goat of Duty to start the weekend...
