What are you playing?

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is great, looks incredible with Path Tracing, could be better with higher LOD value though (shadows pop in)

PT ON vs OFF

Downloaded My First Gran Turismo for PS4 and I'll be playing it for a while today.

I played Crysis 2 back when it came out, and while it was a much more dumbed-down in terms of world and gameplay, it was still "finished".

One of the best menu OSTs in FPS games ever. Though not as dope as in Doom 3 or Homefront.

BlackMyth:Wukong, This game is so awesome, I have play 100 hours.
Dota2, It's my favorite game in my life.

Yakuza 0 is proving to be a tough shift backwards for the reason you mention. LaD: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will probably push it further into the backlog.

Myself and my partner prefer their brawler combat gameplay over the turned based to be fair so Yakuza in Hawaii won't be a problem for us.
The only Yakuza game we haven't played is Dead soul but we have played all the available ones from Ps4 gen release onwards, this also includes Judgment+ Lost Judgment, Isshin and Fist of the north star.
Yakuza 0 is still my favourite out of the franchise so far, it had the better plot, the game ran flawlessly on the Ps4 when it was exclusive to the PS4 and arguably it had the better choice of mini games compared to all its successors in my opinion. The "arcade" games were all fun and engaging, pocket racing was great, batting was decent as well.

Story is great. My problem is partly expecting the identical game world to play like K2 and partly missing where the save file was buried multiple times when I recently changed OS or hardware.

I believe it was K2 is where you can save anywhere? As it is technically following the time period its set, of course Yakuza 0, K1, 3,4&5 have the save point mechanics.
K1&K2 are "remake/remaster" of Yakuza 1&2 since those came out on the Ps2.
K2 was the first time they started using the dragon engine as well.

Exactly, I started at the point with most updated mechanics. Then refunded and bought the full collection of 0-6. Ideally, exploiting the rights for a made-for-streaming show would've funded a timely update of all the original Yakuza games to a highly similar point.

Ah see we(myself and my partner) started with 0 so we played them all incrementally as they were getting released.

This Bolter's rate of fire starts with 8. Now its 35. With her heroic act I can now shoot two full clips in one turn

She can Burst Fire 6 times in an extra turn as well. And since my damage scales off rate of fire too, her first bullet tends to deal upwards of 400 damage :roll:

And is that 164 Ballistic Skill?

Hilariously broken, but oh so much fun.

Also, this...

11 Psy Rating. This item

And then this one

ooooh... that's a good game.... The ending will get your attention. Don't spoil it, but be ready.

Well, I guess Santa Gabe heard my wishes and right after I completed Amnesia:Rebirth he put Bunker on sale. Bought it along with other amazing title I totally forgot about: Talos Principle 2.
Didn't get the DLC for it yet, but the game is long enough to keep me busy 'till next big sale.
As always, Croteam did not disappoint. The game is massive, with beautiful graphics and lots of new puzzles, excellent story, good humor and lots of easter eggs.
I'm about half way through with ~15 hours clocked in. Completed East and North(except for Golden Gates, which I assume unlock after completing every forgotten puzzle).

So far the only few things I did not like are:
1) Wa-a-a-ay too much exposition at the beginning of the game. But a bit later down the road I kinda started to understand why devs chose to do it that way. Also, sometimes NPCs convey the same information several times throughout the story, in the way that they assume we don't know it. Very different from the first Talos Principle, where you are on your own and all lore must be discovered accordingly.
2) UE5 while it makes it look cool and all, on big locations you always get object pop (especially while sprinting across the map). Occasionally it causes you to miss some things cause they pop when they are already on the edge of your FoV or outside of it.

Other than that - excellent game which doesn't require a time commitment of a part-time job, and makes your brain cells wiggle

Just finished The Last of Us Part 1. A true masterpiece. The story is engaging and captures real emotion. The characters and dialogue are unsurpassed. Very pretty game too and for me at least no technical glitches or stutters. It was on special in the Autumn Steam sale.

Veseleil · 2024-12-13T05:54:55+0000

Old vs. remastered. But graphics and clunky controls aside, every cutscene is a voice acting masterpiece. The story, the atmosphere... It was a long time ago when I played this on a PS, already forgot what a gem this game was for its time. I didn't ever finished it, and later I gave the game disc to someone just to never see it again. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

A new Tenchu please. Keep the simplicity, add more ways to stealth kill, make smarter enemies and this can go places!

Played some Crash Bash when drinking with my best friend yesterday. Hell, I got tired of emulators, I bought that for PS1 years ago just to play with my friend

Tenchu - the story from 1 imo was amazing, the way they made 3 storylines was unexpected and gratifying at least for me.

Shinobido, on the other side surpassed Tenchu regarding fight mechanics, rpg elements and freedom, imo.
Both games were amazing and remain in my top 15 games ive played in my 40 years as a gamer.

You want more success for Tenchu... back then we have poligons and squares and still people liked Ayame like they liked Lara croft.
Now devs can make wonders with graphics, give Ayame justice and make her a beautiful kunoichi as she is.
A little fanservice will help a lot, backing up a wonderful story and an awesome stealth game.

oh ...i forgot, and yes, i agree with you on make it harder. Tenchu was never meant to be a soft stealth game.
Smarter enemies, more challenges and outstanding killing moves.

Path of Exile 2

Playing as a hireling atm, preferring the crossbow.

TechBuyingHavoc · 2024-12-14T15:58:39+0000

Playing Helldivers 2 for short sessions, the new update dropped new weapons, stratagems, and a brand new enemy if you are bored with the bugs and bots. For longer sessions, continuing my long-delayed play-through of Baldur's Gate 3.
