This reminds me of the last time I watched the film Event Horizon. The CG scenes look SOOOO BAD! It’s been one of my favorite horror movies since I first saw it as a teenager in the late 90s, and I still love it, but I had no memory of that shitty fake looking cg lol Thankfully that’s not a huge part of the movie
Finished my first a BG3 run, blind. Was considering starting a second run, with “perfect” choices (and mods) but it seems that patch 6 broke quite some things.
Gonna spend time playing “dad games”, then. I don’t know what’s so appealing about those “X simulator” games, but I can absolutely get lost in them.
Playing Occupy White Walls occasionally. Playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. Pondering buying that uhhh roguelite ‘poker’ deck building game whose name has gone out my head now
Balatro. It’s good. I love making cursed poker hands with aces that count as every suit and granite blocks and then racking my score multiplier up to 86x with stacked jokers. It’s a fun game.
Monster Hunter World. This game‘s got me in an iron grip. I‘m looking forward to playing the Tales of Arise DLC which is discounted rn to 20 bucks which is the kinda price I would‘ve expected to begin with.
Mario Kart on the side, playing the expansion pass courses, currently at „Mirror.“
Currently have over 100 hours in Persona 3 Reload and I haven’t even completed the game yet.
Always wanted to dive into P3P/FES until Reload was announced, and I’m so happy I waited. The game is very polished and I’ve heard it is a faithful remake of the OG P3. Definitely going for a NG+ afterwards!
I thought Just Cause was pretty meh, Just Cause 2 was incredible regardless of the jank though (played it revently). If you decide to play the second installment, I recommend installing the grappling hook mod that lets you grapple from waaay farther - otherwise traversel becomes a pain since the world‘s insanely big. Also, you gotta turn off a few graphic options on modern PCs or the game crashes randomly (and will still crash regardless when you get close to the skull island, at least for me).
Palworld was on game pass so I gave it a shot. It’s actually pretty fun for a simple time waster. After this run I don’t think ill ever play it again unless they work in a really good story mode
It introduces a modular magic system, where you learn spell components and make your own spells. Eventually your magic gets powerful enough that you don’t need most tools. It also adds rituals, familiars, enchantments, and some automation.
I really like that instead of introducing a lot of extra fluff, it utilizes underused Minecraft ores, mainly gold and those purple crystals.
Still strolling through my snails pace playthrough of RDR2, haven’t left chapter 2 yet and mostly been doing side stuff, hunting fishing and completing challenges. Looking for a damn badger and beaver but can’t find either anywhere.
I also wish RDR2 had the same fishing minigame as FFXV. Not that it’s terrible, but I wish it had the same depth. That game had the best fishing minigame I’ve played, almost worth the price of admission for that alone.
Nice. I saw people saying to do as much open world as you want and savor chapter 2 so I did just that. I’ve now got the White Arabian horse and the Legend of the East Satchel (amazingly useful), I’ve settled on my favorite guns and modded them up. I still have yet to complete all legendary hunts and fishes, but I was ready for a break in the grind so I’ve finally moved into Ch. 3
Sounds like what I’ve been doing, too. Finally found a badger yesterday for the satchel but still on the hunt for some other assorted animals. Sadly I think I’m locked out of some stuff because I killed the legendary bear as part of the story quest so the pelt despawned before I unlocked the trapper. Currently trying to plow through some gambler challenges for the gear, it might actually kill my enthusiasm though. And I’d like to combine them with some Bandit pieces but I’ve been hesitant because I am playing high honor.
The White Arabian seems great, im personally going back and forth between the Warped Brindle Arabian and the Tigerstriped Bay Mustang (was hell to acquire) for horses.
Not having an N64 or a copy of that game stops me.
This and the other WWE games on N64 is why I went through so many controllers… A lot of them had you spinning the stick to get out of stuff and it would wear down the springs until the stick was worthlessly flaccid. 😩
I actually dislike most adaptive game music because most games that use that term just use it for having combat music that swaps in dynamically when you’re near a hostile mob.
The games where the music is just a combination of things based on what’s going on, however, are fucking dope as hell. It’s not something I see (er… Hear) all that often though which is disappointing.
It’s awesome when you notice that you can affect the music that’s playing by jumping or doing specific attacks/actions or based on how many/what kind of enemies are around, etc and not just “the music is this now because you’re fighting.”
