I’m on Lvl 15. I have unlocked less than 1% of all the game awards. My account is 0,77 years old
My battle stats are crap without a doubt (even more so when compared to the strongest players), but I only target weak players who have left their accounts ages ago so it doesn’t matter much
I’m in a company and a faction that provides capacity bonuses to the item amount I can buy through traveling
I have unlocked stock market. I make some small money through that sometimes. I also do bank investments
I have set up a private island rent with faction friends. They rent it for me. It provides happiness and other benefits
I sell random stuff from time to time. Plushies is my biggest income
I participate in weekly chains (it’s a faction fight system) with my faction friends as a token of my appreciation for being aboard with them on our common journey
I have pretty much mastered the two first new crime types (provided through the new crime system of TORN) - small thefts and bootlegging. Working on the graffiti crime as the next goal. Card skimming is probably my most favorite crime type at this point
There is a subscription system I think. Gives a bigger energy pool, higher energy regeneration and I think it also gives points. It can be bought with game money as well, I think.
Donator status does offer perks beneficial to game play. Its 5$ a month. But not p2w in the sense of the more money you sink in, the easier it is to advance.
On my 2nd New Playthrough of Elden Ring. I was a STR/FTH build in my first playthrough, so I decided to use the build opposite to that, DEX/INT. I love the Moonveil and the Dark Moon Greatsword, but the Godslaying Greatsword has a good place in my heart. That, and funny dragon lightning. I’m going back to STR/FTH on NG+.
On a side note, beating Malenia for the 2nd time is satisfying as hell
Just upgraded my home internet from a spotty 50 Mbps with lots of packet loss to a 250 Mbps with cheaper monthly costs. So most of the time I’m just downloading games for the heck of it. I might not need to use my HDD to backup games anymore as the download speed is the same as my external HDD speeds ♪～(´ε｀ )
I finally finished Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, after nearly 300 hours. Holy fuck, there is so much video game in that god-damn video game. It just keeps going for so much longer than it needs to. Then on top of that they went and added several new features like raiding, and a roguelike game mode which I enjoyed.
It’s a mediocre game, but it’s a fun time if you’re like me and just enjoy exploring big maps, collecting items, upgrading gear, etc. I enjoyed the DLC, but I’m not planning on picking up Dawn of Ragnarök because the mythical storyline just doesn’t interest me.
I loved Slime Rancher 2, and played the heck out of it at launch, but am trying not to play any more until full release. It feels like I ate some of the cookie dough early and now I can hardly wait for the cookies to be done, though. I can’t wait to see what they add to it in the future!
I’ve been playing The Outer Worlds. I restarted with a new character focused on dialog and tech skills after seeing how easy the combat is.
I like the game and really wish the discussion around it stopped simply painting it as “Fallout New Vegas In Space”, because it is not. Thinking of it that way sets misguided expectations.
The writing quality and sensibilities are clearly from many of the same minds behind New Vegas, but the game’s overall design is much guided for the player than New Vegas. In a lot of ways it feels like a classic BioWare RPG. Instead of a giant open world, there are various hubs that have curated content and which are opened up to the player in a quasi linear way.
The setting is very well defined and there is a clear vision for it. So many game settings are generic or uninspired. I haven’t played Starfield, but the footage of it never grabbed me with its kind of generic looking future. The Outer Worlds has a schtick and it leans into it 110%.
The combat is smooth, no surprise on the Unreal 4 engine. It is a hair too easy, but I prefer easy over hard when the enemy AI is so simple. I’m not a fan of bullets sponges or increased mobs of enemies to increase difficulty.
One single and huge complaint I have is the PC controls are not fully rebindable. They are only partially rebindable which is a headache for a left handed IJKL player. The game won’t let me rebind to my preference and I ended up writing my own script in AutoHotkey, which I then have to run whenever playing the game.
Yeah. I don’t have performance issues but the game feels empty without mods. It’s kind of hard to explain. There are only a few trees for decoration for example. Houses are half floating or do not connect to the road when there is a small hill. But I have confidence that they will sort it out.
That being said. Games that are not ready for release should not be released, period.
Beat it Monday night. Immediately started ng+. I’m a slow learner, and I’m just now dialed in with the flow of combat, which is good, because ng+ is no joke.
Man, I gotta get back to that. I almost cleared the whole first Michigan map entirely and took a break, but I really loved the slow paced thoughtful approach to a "driving" game.
Are you finding there to be almost no side missions aside from the collectibles? I’ve had 2 small side quests for Miles so far, and I think that’s all…
That’s really great to hear. I heard an estimate of the game length elsewhere too. I’m really glad to hear that overall it’s generally a tighter experience rather than including a bunch of collectathons.
Uncharted on PS4. Fancied an action game that was tight and linear. I find too open world doesn’t respect my time and I don’t like grindy. I’m finally comfortable to play a game on easy and whizz though rather than challenge myself more and spend ages on it or never finish it. It’s still fun and even on easy, some of the gameplay is repetitive.
Also, always playing street fighter. Used to be V, now VI. Finisnf it is great and fun but it’s not as much fun creating combos as V, but the new mechanics are good so overall it’s better.
Diablo 4 season 2. Leveling and equipment progress is faster so it makes ranking up glyphs feel really slow. Vampire thing was okay, the powers were cool changes but the rewards board is lame after getting the one Vampire power on it. The Varshan boss under the tree has been kicking my ass, but hopefully I can get boss fights better dialed in the closer I get to lv100.
