Got gifted Alan Wake 2 and have played it close to half way through I guess. I liked te first one and have played through all other recent Remedy games too, so I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Also Finnish in jokes.

Other than that PUBG with the buddies is still on the menu a few nights a week.

They have yet to learn their lesson.

I see.

After ruining their streaming and movies, they are focusing on their gaming division.

I could see it working for a fighting game but it feels like they’ve whiffed them recently. Wasn’t Multiversus supposed to be a pretty big game? I remember it lasting a few weeks of hype and then going into hibernation, something about an early access release and then a season 2? I don’t remember honestly.

Mortal Kombat easily fits into live service bullshit, sadly, with all the skins and cosmetics that could be applied to battlepasses instead of cosmetic stores.

All the great WB games in the past have never had this kind of monetization. All the Arkham games, Harry Potter; it’s kind of sad seeing them take this approach in the future but it’s just a cash cow even with a few whales.

Another publisher to mark as ignored on steam

I didn’t know you could do this to entire publishers. TIL.

Harry Potter was great as is… No need to change it.

What is “always on” in a gaming context? I can’t imagine wanting a game that you can’t close.

Constant connection to servers required to play, even if the entire game is being run locally.

Anticorp,

Oh, that’s terrible.

capt_wolf,

It means you must always be connected to the internet as a form of DRM.

A couple years old, hopefully most of the websites on here are still alive:

Board game arena has a lot of games from classics to modern hobbyist games.

I beat Hyper Light Drifter for the first time. And I think I spent some time on the new Mario kart levels, though that might have been last week.

HLP is a fascinating game with a novel approach to gameplay and world building. A few controls issues annoyed me, but they were growing pains and not fully learning the system. I love games that use that particular art style. I think I’m doing Mario Galaxy next.

I’m trying to figure out my second Voucher game to get.

My top choices are: Arceus - I enjoy pokemon, but it sounds like a lot of “research” busy work. Pikmin 4 - I haven’t clicked with Pikmin demos previously, but the idea has always seemed pretty interesting if I’d let it go farther. Mario Wonder - feels shorter, and more peripheral to my interest, but I’ve heard great things. Xenoblade 3 - I’ve only played XBX before and not all the way through. RPGs aren’t completely my thing, but I’ve heard great things.

None of them are THE game I’m after with pros and cons to each. The decision paralysis is rough and I don’t see anything worth waiting for before May.

Yakuza Gaiden, the ending is a gut punch and leads hopefully to a good ending for Kiryus story. A love letter and greatest hits of the Yakuza series.

You could skip through the side quests as they are mostly a repeat of earlier games.

Starfield. I know people are polarized about it, but I’m enjoying it.

Also Valheim.

Finished up Return of the Obra Dinn earlier.

I’ll admit I started getting a bit frustrated about halfway through, but then some more stuff started clicking and I managed to get through the rest.

I had looked up a couple of hints to point me in the right direction when I was stuck, which I ended up only needing for about three cases. Admittedly, I did also brute force some shit with pure guesswork, but I don’t really mind all that much.

Still, it was interesting. Might hit up some other detective game soon, not quite sure.

I’m playing cyberpunk with the phantom liberty and 2.0 update. I think they’ve done a fantastic job fixing the game. It’s not perfect but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Encromion,

Just wrapped it. It was an amazing module and story, and while patch 2.0 was annoying, the stories and missions from phantom liberty were amazing.

Finally done with Pathfinder: Kingmaker. This is a bad game, that nobody should play. The last third was a complete slog and not fun at all. Far too many fights and just full of enemies with bloated health. The post-game epilogue cards, where you get told what happened with your kingdom and companions, was pretty nice though.

I will give the developer, Owlcat, another chance with Rogue Trader, that’s getting released soon, although I’ll wait for some early reports of the game first, since buggy / broken launches seem to be par for the course for them.

Other than that, I also played more Risk of Rain Returns. I managed to beat the game a second time, but I’m just far too inconsistent. I think I’ll do some of the Providence Trials next week and unlock more skills and try some more characters.
