Started playing The Last of Us on PS5. Also jumping in and out of Spiderman: Remastered

It's been a long time since I've been so invested in a story. Aside from the great locations. I love the change up in pace with the stealth for the various enemies.

Well, I tried.  Spent the better part of the day trying to play Wo Long but nope.  I can't get a hold of the deflect timing for the life of me.  And the game depends on you using it or else. 

 

I'm to old I guess.   Oh well, it was a nice try via game pass so I didn't lose anything other than time. 

I'll just have to go back to my backlog and find something else.

Reminds me of when I tried Metroid Dread, stopped playing after I could not get the quick time events for the damn robot that chases you around. Shame on me for expecting a good classic 2d metroid adventure I guess.

I tried the demo on ps5 - because I love rural Japan but could not enjoy it.

I was hoping for more ghost of Tsushima - but I should have know better considering it is team ninja

at least I am liking

Like a Dragon Ishin

- combat like that is way more fun for me

That's weak, I didn't know that game had QT events... :/

I am hyped to try Metroid Prime again. Maybe it's rose-tinted glasses, but it was one of the few games I beat on autopilot, simply because I found the world captivating. Real question is whether it holds up at $40...

Say hello to my little friend! (i.e. Scarface (2006) on PC) ;)

I missed it back when it was new. but got a hold of a old Wii probably years ago now, played it a bit on there, but never finished it (as a general rule I avoid shooter games on consoles as a mouse is superior for aiming quickly). then late last year I 'obtained' a PC copy online, applied some tweaks to it so it runs on more modern hardware (it works on Linux through Wine as I normally use Lutris etc but in this games case it does not like Lutris but works on stock Wine), and played it on PC a bit in Oct 2022. but I think I am going to get back into it soon.

p.s. anyone who has seen Scarface (1983) and is a little familiar with MTV Cribs will probably like this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RXLa83Ba78

I'm currently addicted to the Deep Space remake - Not sure how the hell I missed it the first time but absolutely loving it!!!
If you're a fan of Prey, System Shock, Event Horizon stuff like that then I highly recommend it...

Returned to playing Showrunner in addition to BeamNG, Forza Horizon 5, and periodically Minecraft. Also want to get back into MSFS, but my SSD is not sure about that.

Tell your SSD to ###### off and "let me fly dammit!" lol

I finally am deep in red dead redemption 2 -  the game bored the hell out of me (just like the rdr1 - never got anywhere in it)

 

but now that I dedicated time to actually learn the game - damn I am having grand time in it

 

still too long - I am stuck at home with a broken leg so I put 140 hours into it so far in one month time - but the end is not in sight yet (might be on one of the final mission I hope)

first 10 hours felt wasted time - next 40 were amazing 🤩 

 

then i got all the best guns and horses and it became a bit repetitive 

——————-
 

on the side note: I think I am days away from beating it bad I will not stick around for more side quests or online crap 

 

is CYBERPUNK GOOD NOW?

 

I bought it on release date and then gave it my best for 2 days only to quit it with severe dissatisfaction- did they get it good with the updates?

some starting videos and gameplay was amazing for me only to find out the gameplay feels like 💩 when I got to explore the open world

 

is driving OK now? At least this they should have fixed I hope.

It sucked to badly when I played I wanted to ignore cars completely but instead just quit the game

Started playing GhostWire Tokyo, my kind of single player game.  The slow methodical grind around the city trying to find all the side stuff.   Also jumping into Halo Infinite MP off and on.  I finished the event pass, still have more to do for the season 3 battle pass but it shouldn't take long.

Just finished Ghostwire Tokyo, good overall, shame they couldn't patch the unsteady frame times though.  But I liked it, story resonated with me since I lost my grandmother back in March.    Also jumped in and played some Halo Infinite again, finished the s3 battle pass last night.  I won't have much time to play s4 though due to work.

Right now I've switched over to playing a smaller indie, The Last Case of Benedict Fox.

Anyone looked at or played Bramble The Mountain King? Looks to be in a similar vein to Limbo, Inside, or Little Nightmares. Saw Lirik playin it on Twitch over the weekend and it looked amazing...

Currently playing WoW Classic with an old friend. Supposedly, they're looking to bring a hardcore mode to Classic, given the popularity it's been getting recently. Seems Blizzard has also been hiring people on specifically for WoW Classic, which I'm unsure what that means for the future of Classic. Retail is still a complete mess, despite all the good they've done to try to get it in a better state. Seems they should've started trying to listen to players maybe 5-6 years ago when it would've mattered more.

It's actually hilarious reading the guild chat these days, when people are talking about IRL cooking recipes and help with male pattern baldness, compared to the days when everyone was a snot nosed teenager. :laugh:

Sorry to hear that man, I just lost my grandmother in November and that was hard to say the least. Hope your family is well!

Playing Jedi Survivor on ps5

 

serious amount of little (not game breaking, but highly confusing) bugs

 

i expected better - guide points pointing wrong - showing you to go back when you need to move on…

Game telling you to press R2 instead of L2 to progress…. Come on…

 

and I have seen YouTube video repeating it on other console

 

so WTF - no one noticed such obvious things through testing a major AAA Star Wars game? Yes if you play enough games , what to do next is obvious - but if you follow what the game tells you to do exactly you will be stuck and confused!
 

I wonder if they will fix those ones or just ignore them as minor if gamers not notice them.

for all the accessibility options available - for a triple A game to use them in such way that gives wrong directions is a bit iffy in my book… not cool at all, as you really cannot rely on them at all - you still have to just go with gut instinct and press on opposite of what games tell you to do.

 

 

I respected them for giving so many accessibility options but giving them broken 😡 is just a damn joke, even if it is not often happens

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
