Just got Scarlet Nexus cuz it was on sale on Steam. So far it seems pretty interesting, tho I kind of suck at the combat lmao.

I played it a year ago, and it was fun (playing as the male MC), but the side quests are complete ass, so I definitely recommend skipping them.

Got back into Elite Dangerous big time. Gathered the courage to go to Colonia finally! The journey wasn’t as bad as I expected. Spread it out over two days and it’s very doable! I’ll stick around the Colonia region for a bit and then its on to Sag A*

What did you use to get there? My longest range ship is still a Viper mkIV I engineered for small worlds 2 at 35ly.

airbussy,

I’m running my trusty ASP Explorer, engineered to a max jump range of about 65ly.

I’m pretty sure you can make the journey with less jump range, but the more you have, the more comfortable it will be. Just be sure to take as many neutron stars along the way as you can! 😁

Horizon Forbidden West, stunning graphics. I find the main character a bit off-putting as she can be a bit arrogant and rude and those are traits I don’t have a lot of patience for, but it really does look good.

DdCno1,

How different is it from the predecessor in terms of gameplay? That one felt very derivative, a near carbon copy of the Ubisoft formula. I usually consider those games a guilty pleasure of mine, but HZD felt too repetitive and clunky. It’s a shame, because I really like the setting.

politicalcustard,

It’s still clunky and repetitive. I didn’t finish Zero Dawn and the more I play Forbidden West the more I feel it likely I won’t finish this either. I think you’re right to make a comparison to Ubisoft. Fine looking games with loads of potential but I suspect fear of bad sales result in bland, generic characters and storylines that are just not engaging.

delitomatoes,

Companies are deathly afraid of introducing a new main character in the same series, her story was finished in the first one, would have been good as a mentor for a new character. Maybe MGS2 scared the market

politicalcustard,

I really wish they had; I was playing again today and her character was just being so awful to people. It would be fine to have such a character if over the course of the story she realises she has attachment issues and gradually tries to deal with them throughout the game, but she doesn’t, she just keeps being mean. I have no idea why you would have someone like this as the main character, I have no sympathy for her and the game is not even attempting to get me to empathise or sympathise with her. She’s meeting some really lovely people and I’m getting embarrassed by her behaviour! 😅

Dragons Dogma 2

I’m 20 hours in and enjoying it immensely despite it’s flaws, and the character creator is so good I made Arya Stark my main pawn.

I am playing this too and do enjoy what I've been doing. However it does feel that the game hasn't improved much from DDDA. The Dragonplague thing is quite annoying and I am thinking of stopping for a while before they have done something to it. I really cannot recommend this game to others as for now, which is sad.

Almost beaten Mars After Midnight, it’s a great little game!

I’ve also been playing the SW Battlefront rerelease on switch!

  • I like 1 more than 2, 2 has way too many people rolling and I like the maps from 1 more
  • 1 is also less balanced. I got 30 kills camping next to a gonk droid and recon droning orbital strikes over and over
  • There’s not many players, the most I’ve played with on one map is 20
  • Multiplayer crashes are annoying but otherwise I’ve been enjoying it
  • Galactic Conquest is as good as ever

Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.

Only finished the first game and really enjoyed it. Eager to see where the second goes.

Localisation team’s done a fucking fantastic job as well. Didn’t expect to see that much rhyming slang in an Ace Attorney game, although looking back at the wackiness of the series and the ridiculous puns, I probably should have anticipated it.

dogslayeggs, do games w [Gamers Nexus] Dragon's Dogma 2 is a Mess: GPU & CPU Benchmarks, Bottlenecks, & Crashes

One of the few times I’m happy to be limited to gaming on a console. The PS5 version hasn’t had any performance issues or crashes for me.

Pra,

Yeah pretty unfortunate there’s all this hubbub around the game with mtx and poor optimization… The game at its core I’m in love with.

dogslayeggs,

My only complaints are the inability to buy back something you sold to a vendor (not realistic) coupled with the limited carrying capacity. I didn’t have enough space to carry around a bunch of copper, silver, and iron ore at the same time, so I sold off the iron. Now I need the iron ore to upgrade a weapon but can’t find any and can’t buy it back. I know I can go online and find where nodes are or whatever, but if we’re going by the rule of “it’s not realistic to fight and run like normal if you are carrying around a really heavy pack” and “it’s not realistic to fast travel everywhere” then we should be able to buy back what we sold at an inflated price.

Pra,

Yeah I feel you there are a lot of features that I feel they could and the game still be “realistic” like they claim. I’m not sure if you know though, you can store items at inns and with the weight limit being what it is, it has forced me to be less of a loot goblin and not just picking everything up in a square mile. Buying back from vendors would be cool, but it’s also a pretty common mechanic to be missing from games too.

RageAgainstTheRich,

I dont know if you know, but at the inn you can put items in a storage that you can access at every inn and some other places. Just put everything except quest stuff and healing potions in it :)

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Honestly? Put most of your healing stuff there too. You are going to get a LOT more resources than you need in the early/mid game and are going to be glad it is there in the late/endgame.

Dragon’s Dogma is very much about the long journey to a vaguely known destination. Your personal inventory is very much a balance between traveling light enough to make good time and pick up items with having enough resources to survive whatever encounters you meet along the way.

dogslayeggs,

I didn’t know that… that completely changes my game.

echo64,

Putting (not realistic) after your first sentence, there was a little funny. That’s not something that happens in real life

dogslayeggs,

What do you mean it doesn’t happen in real life? Think about the times you’ve sold something to a company. Doesn’t happen very often, right? It is likely only selling a car to a dealer or maybe going into a pawn shop or baseball card store or used clothing store. Every one of those places will let you buy it back at an inflated price if they haven’t sold it yet.

Nosavingthrow,

You get scrap iron from Skeletons. Also, why not just put mats into storage? You

thedirtyknapkin,

You can buy back a lot of stuff, but only from the scrap merchant in the border town. The new black cat guy. Valuable things that you sell will end up in his shop sometimes, though I don’t know when or why yet.

any1th3r3,

Performance issues are definitely present in the console versions of the game, albeit not 4-5s stutters and whether you notice framerate drops or they bother you or not is a different thing entirely I suppose.

I’m late because I just started watching Shogun, but Shadow Tactics - Blades of the Shogun is really good in the real time tactics genre, it was the first title released by Mimi who went on to make the acclaimed Desperados 3 and Shadow Gambit - The Cursed Crew

Stardew Valley! but…extremely modded SDV. I’m playing multiplayer with my partner and we have almost 60 mods going. quite a few of them are aesthetic but we have some area expansions and stuff like that as well. I really like tweaking the game so that it’s more difficult, I’ve played it so much (over 300 hours!) that it’s more appealing to me that way.

I love modding games in general. it’s my curse.
