playing offline because that’s where all my stuff is as last I checked the online was a disaster. Other than that, it’s pretty cool ARPG. Though I have some thoughts about some “gearcheck” -type bosses. After ~180h (since beta) or whatever, I’m still thinking it’s a solid 7/10. Fairly enjoyable, but not greatest of all time by any stretch.

It’s completely stupid and I love it. Essentially wannabe-“spööktubers” take a camera and few flashlights into dark, abandoned industrial complex to film something spooky, just to gain views on “Spööktube”. Views gain you money, money buys you gear.
The dives to the industrial complex are very short too, as you can only film so much (90s max, it seems), and the monsters are hella deadly. Either the camera gets filled or everyone is dead in minutes.
The footage can be saved as .webm -videos to desktop, which is GREAT
I tried it, found it had horrible latency, and threw it in a box.
I’ve been using the (wired) Gamesir T4 Kaleid on my desktop and loving it.
I’ve been using an XBox Elite (the one that worked, not the one I sent back because the trigger was broken) and it’s been okay, but the dead zones are much, much larger than the Kaleid. I looked at Gamesir’s wireless options, but wasn’t impressed with the reviews, so I haven’t tried any yet.
One of the prettiest games in recent memory. Except for…
::: spoiler Final act spoiler The only thing that slightly annoyed me was that there is no snow on Tsuahima island. They took so much care with the rest of the game, even visiting the island, then they put a snowy winter on a subtropical island.:::
What a brave game to make. It is not afraid to scare players away. I admit, I ended up having to look up a map in order to find the ending before I threw my PC out the window entirely, but I acknowledge I was not in the right mindset to be playing. You cannot play the game to finish it, you must enjoy the gameplay for what it is, because it is not going to funnel you through the story at all, and you’re going to have a LOT of deaths that feel like total bullshit.
But the atmosphere, and the sound design, and the art, and the creatures, and their AI, and the world building are all top tier. I don’t know if I can recommend anyone play it, but it is a very well made game.
Cyberpunk 2077The prologue was just amazing and it was a whole acid trip for a half an hour. I kinda felt Jackie would die because it was kinda hinted with the conversation V and he had before the heist but it was still sad. “See you in major leagues”. Damn. And it doesn’t stop there lol, now my mc is a schizophrenic and talks to Keanu Reeves in his head. This game is perfect but I hope it has more heists like the one in prologue and isn’t just a revenge story.
If you're really enjoying yourself I'd considering picking up Phantom Liberty as well. I played through the main game shortly after it came out on PS5. I was very 'meh' about it. But I recently picked up Phantom Liberty and started a whole new game, I probably doubled my play time, and still spent 4-5 hours after I'd finished all the story missions, just bumming around bc I was still so enamored of it. The story missions in Phantom Liberty are, in my opinion, better, bigger, and more emotional than the main game.
I've heard people say you should start a new game. Which I did. But I think you'd be ok to jump in if you wanted. There's a new neighborhood that it mostly takes place in. To start it, you have to complete some main game story mission about 3/4 of the way in, if I remember correctly.
It’s less that they’re easy to get without buying them with real money and more that they’re supposed to be acquired slowly and, when relevant, used sparingly.
My frustration with the discourse is that so many who see the game’s general lack of convenience see that through the filter of these microtransactions and assume ill intent on part of the actual game design when really it’s just genuinely idiosyncratic like the original was.
The truth is, if you’re the sort to be tempted by these purchases in the first place then you’re not the sort of person who would enjoy the game even if you do buy them. I don’t know whether that makes them better or worse, honestly, but if you buy the game it at least doesn’t rub your nose in them like Assassin’s Creed.
