New playthrough, got some .ini tweaks which seem to help performance quite a bit so far, not screwing myself with traits and character background like I did initially, and making gameplay priorities.
I was too overwhelmed the first time with all the different mechanics and forgot to do what I do with most Bethesda games: focus on a few select areas and ignore the rest, so I’m not going to bother with a lot of the mechanics I’m not interested in.
If they draw me in at some other point, might give it a shot. Otherwise, unimportant to me.
Other than that, I’ve been on a FIFA kick for a while. Still messing around with that. I really wish women’s football was more popular. I’d honestly pay for a game specifically focusing on it and ignoring the men’s side of things.
I started playing The Ezio Trilogy. Finished AC2 and Brotherhood back in the day, but never Revelations. The last AC game I played was (a bit of) AC3, but dropped it and never played an AC game ever again.
NMS is super janky in spots… but it pulls off a whole lot of awesome things I can’t do anywhere else, so I tolerate all the junk and loading stutters and fading in geometry…
It's a few years old, but I've been working on getting 100% achievements in Conarium over the weekend. I'm always a sucker for a Lovecraftian game, and it's one of the more visually interesting walking sims that I've played. I only have two achievements left, so I'm hoping I can clear them either today or tomorrow. I need more disk space for other games lmao
A lot of it depends on what consoles you want to emulate. I’m no expert, but from what I’ve seen just casually looking through retro gaming forums, is that anything up to N64/PS3 is doable with relatively cheap hardware. But if you want to emulate N64 or PS3 and above properly, you’re going to need to step up in specs.
What’s sad is that Starfield was expected to be the next big RPG. The next Skyrim but in space.
Instead, most people are likely going to come out of their experience with the game with a “meh” opinion about it. It’s solidly middle-tier.
If there’s anything to be said, the visuals are incredible, but everything else is a retread of mechanics pulled from other games (most notably, half the ideas are taken from No Man’s Sky).
Its a bit extreme, but crack-life for half-life. You know there are some people saying they get brain rot from memes? This is like the bottom of a sinkhole for your iq. Every sound is some random effect, the wortigons have afros, the headcrabs are British, your hud is in webdings, the soldiers speak in old tts and the smg has infinite fast firing grenade launcher.
Is a lot, and while you are lost in a word where nothing makes sense, you are losing your ass off. If that’s isn’t enough, there’s a standalone mod, that’s even stupider, even bigger, even more bizarre.
But it’s probably not for everyone, its very 2000 edgy humor, so if it’s not your thing, don’t force yourself with it (might wanna check some vids, Jolly has a good ones, but i think he deleted it some time ago).
When it comes to “classic” comedy, then Hi-Fi Rush is one of the highlights in recent times. Not only are there a lot of jokes in the dialogue that landed for me, all the cutscenes are also loaded with perfectly timed visual gags. Lots of humour hidden in the environment as well.
Other than that, any “serious” game that has a wonky physics engine can accidentally be pretty funny on accident. Slinging around corpses in Dark Souls 1 for example.
Wholly dependent on the game. Lots of Indies feel like decent, self contained games ranging from 3-8 hours of gameplay. Gris, Inside, Abzu, Thomas Was Alone, etc.

There’s a massive spreadsheet that’s linked on the reddit equivalent that tracks and breaks down handheld features, price points, and what consoles it can reasonably emulate too
