Well, I’m on the side of the people who don’t like the soundtrack in the wild, for me it feels boring and uninspiring and don’t get me started with the shrine tracks lol, I’d rather put a playlist on my end of the old tracks if it supported Spotify like the PS4 does.
Aside from that, the world is pretty great, quite empty but never boring because it always has some subtle highlights which keeps you wondering, should I go to that place, should I go to that other place that I’m seeing?
I’ve gotten back into Warframe on Steam/PC recently. I’ve been pretty busy with work, so it’s nice to have a game where I can log in, do a mission or two, log off, and get back to work in 20 minutes or so. I like to play it when I need to take a short break from work, too.
I’ll probably be playing this until Spider-Man 2 gets around to releasing on Steam.
I started out solo just fine. However matchmaking is good and the community is great so don’t avoid joining up with others it’s definitely worth a shot!
Gave Fallout 76 a shot again after trying it early in it’s release and quitting due the travesty it was (also because I was disappointed in Starfield). It’s good now, very similar feel to 4 though with some differences. It’s a Fallout game so not perfect but the feeling of endless possibilities you get when stepping out of the vault for the first time is classic Fallout.
Currently, I’m in between games. Tried Divinity Original Sin 2, my first CRPG, but it felt overwhelming. Planning to revisit it during Christmas break.
Gave New World a shot, found it boring, got a refund. I would rather spend those $20 on something better.
Enjoying the Tony Hawk remaster, likely to finish it in the next week or so.
Playing GTA IV, but it’s gotten dull after 3 hours. The story is interesting, but the gameplay feels like I’m just running errands.
I found the gameplay of GTA 4 and 5 to be “drive across town to watch a custscene” at their core, but GTA4 is very enjoyable if you a) relax into it, stop trying to take control and just accept that you’re kind of playing a movie, and b) get good at the driving, which has a surprisingly high skill ceiling. The feeling of just running errands won’t fully go away but the story builds and the missions get more exciting.
Part of why I liked RDR2 so much was it felt like being IN a Cohen brothers movie. Really did feel like “playing” a movie to me. The production value was just off the charts.
I’ve picked up Battlefield 5 again because of the recent hype. There’s the most players there’s been for a fair while. It’s a lot of fun. I am quite bad at it though.
Picked up The Longing, and I’ve been working my way through it little by little.
Excellent game. Way more depth and much better paced than I anticipated. It’s an idle game that commits to the bit. Fire it up, wait 400 days, and you’re done. There’s other stuff to do within the game, but it all takes time, and it’s all optional but pleasantly engaging.
I give my little shade a task, then let it run in the background while I do other things, and now I’m suddenly 8000 words in to writing some fan fiction I’ve been bouncing around in my head. It’s been a very productive week.
Remnant 2. I watched Iron Pineapple’s review back when it released and got excited. It went on sale a couple weeks ago and I convinced several friends to get it. It’s been great. I’m just getting to the point where I can play around with different builds. The set pieces look great and the writing and lore has surprising depth, especially for a co-op shooter.
