If I might offer some advise for what’s coming. Keep the play style that let you beat Disciplinary Action going. It’s gonna serve you well in missions to come.
And hit the Sim Pod for mech xp and to level up your star. Cuz you’re gonna need every edge you can get.
So I just read this book on history of games called “Blood, Sweat and Pixels” and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a...
Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC’s released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the...
Everything I know about Larian tells me that they did not try very hard to hide it. They had to for liability and contractual obligations, I am sure, but they didn’t try very hard to hide it.
I reinstalled BG3 just because I heard about mods coming to console.
I bought it at launch. Played it until my saves deleted themselves right at the start of Act 3. I was broken. It was such a slog for me to get that far. I had to Claw for every inch of progress.
With mods tho. I can cheat. And boy I love cheating. I grew up with Action Replay, GameShark, Game Genie, etc. I’ve missed them terribly.
I just heard that right after launch it started happening and apparently they fixed it without much fanfare. At least on single platforms. Like I’m just on Xbox.
Today’s game is Half Life 2. I heard it got a UI update specifically for Steam Deck, so I had to try it. I ended up playing way more than I meant too (made it all the way to the Boat Segment and got stuck on the helicopter fight). I forgot how damn good this game is, it’s hard for me to resist playing it too and...
Let’s say that the Bucket takes up a weapon slot. So it goes with you through transitions like the teleporter. But that needs a catch. Like say you drop the bucket if you get below 30% health for instance and have to pick it back up.
Consoles will be around until the tech is sufficiently advanced as to negate their usefulness. There will come a day when a phone does everything a modern high end PC can. Bluetooth to a TV and play whatever you want.
Graphic fidelity is almost to a point where there isn’t much more needed in the way of processing power. Another decade. Maybe 2. Consoles will still exist for decades yet. But they’re going to become increasingly unnecessary.
I remember planning to watch some showcase on the 28th. But I forgot and now it’s past and I can’t remember what I was gonna watch. And there’s no calender I can find of what showcases were happening on what days.
I was laying No Man’s Sky with a friend tonight after cleaning up part of 100% of L.A. Noire (Got all landmarks and Street Crimes!). I’m still looking for the new floating islands they added, i’m half convinced i made them up in my head. I found a sentient orb i tamed with some creature pellets. I named him Orbo....
I loved NMS until I beat the critical path. Haven’t touched it since. But I had a lot of fun learning the big secret. But it was soul crushing at the time.
