Me too.....because I've been replaying Sekiro!!!! 

 

 

I need to get back into Sekiro. I felt great about my steady progress early on, and then Genichiro Ashina just stomped me over and over again. The sad part is that I don't think my strategy is bad or that I'm missing something obvious. I just need to get gud.

Took me awhile to beat him but once you get into a rhythm, you can beat him rather easily. Ironically, I took a break from the game after beating him

Started playing Hitman on a whim and I'm loving it. I can see replaying a lot of the missions once I'm done with the campaign. One more contract to go. I'm gonna grab the second game while it's on sale too... Also been playing Resident Evil 7 a bit too.

Hitman is a great series, pure fun gameplay really. None of the stealth mechanics ever favor realism over fun and that's a huge plus in my book.

It's funny... when I first got my O.G. Xbox back in the day, Hitman was one of the first games I bought for it because I played the Demo that came with the old Xbox magazine. (Remember when you had to buy magazines to get demo discs?) I played the HELL out of that first mission but never finished the full game when i bought it. I just didn't have patience for stealth games back then. Now I do and there's a bunch of game series that I ignored because of stealth mechanics that I want to now try. Splinter Cell and Hitman are the two main ones. Metal Gear was the only stealth series that I played and even with those two games, I own but haven't beaten the latest entries.

I've been playing too much FFXIV and am pressing on into the Heavensward content. I'm enjoying it so far and particularly like the group content. The leveling is a lot of fetch quests, which I honestly mind less than killing 50 baby sea turtles, and the plot so far has been repetitive but kind of fun since the player character seems to have acknowledged plot armor.

The Dishonored series has some really cool stealth mechanics off the top of my head as well.

I just started playing Spider-Man on my PsPoor. I’m really impressed with the production values.  Swinging around the city feels really solid. Not yet digging the combat, but I’m hoping that once I start moving down the skill tree, and getting new suits, I’ll start to get into it.

Finally got back to Yakuza 0 last night, so I'll likely play more of that today. I've been struggling some with gaming lately.

 

I know that feeling. It's a summer thing, but I feel as though I should do different things with my time other than sitting and gaming.

Dragon Quest Builder 2 on the Switch. The opening is really slow. I can’t wait for the hand holding to be done with. If it doesn’t get too hot today, I will play some more on the porch under the fan with a cold King Sue. 

[Chickenstrip you so crazy]

Taking a long break from Destiny 2  to finish Witcher 3 for the second time so I can finally play the DLC content. It blows my mind how perfect of a game CDPR can create. Playing some Overwatch as well.

I played and beat the first game on a gamefly rental. Didn't play the second game or its DLC.

Hell yeah it was. One of the few games I played start to finish. 

[crispy4000]

Played Epic Mickey for the first time at random.  Actually liked it quite a bit, might stick with it.  I’m in the mood for a platformer.

[Nokt]

I bought the Evil Within series yesterday and man. The original is rough on PC, its settings menu is jank. The game controls alright, but I might plug in a controller and see if it feels any better. If not I'll probably just watch a summary of the game and jump into EW2. 

 

EW2 is a resource hog or something. High settings with a couple toned down/turn off (screw you film grain) and I'm only hitting 70-80 fps on 1440p. 

[Biggie]

Fire Emblem Three Houses when it unlocks and then all weekend 

 

[Brian]

Same. 

[Moa]

Tetris effect. 

 

This game causes the weirdest time dilation, minutes feel like hours and hours feel like minutes. 

[Keyser_Soze]

Started playing Observer for @Bloodporne and I can see why they chose Rutger Hauer to be the main character, this is a very blade runner ass looking game.

So far it feels like those walking simulator adventure games like Layers of Fear.

 

For some reason it gave me intense motion sickness so I'll probably have to come back to it later.

It is very similar to Layers in terms of game play and the world, I loved Observer - stick with it if you can get past the motion sickness, great game. Crazy stories to unfold behind those doors.

I got back into SCUM and have been playing that. Will also get a bit of Hitman 2 in there and maybe some PUBG. Tonight when it's dark I'll play a bit more Resident Evil 7... which to be honest is a little bit of a letdown for me so far given all the praise it got.

[Dodger]

Doom 2016. Hopefully I actually finish i this time

[darkness35]

I've been getting back slowly into Strange Journey Redux.

 

Fate Grand Order has been a pain to play tbh.  Damn mobile events.

[Biggie]

Fire Emblem Three Houses

[Dre801]

AssCreed Origins.  I spent several hours in Siwa. . .only to find out that was a prologue 

[Dodger]

Up to mission 8 on doom. Rune trials are getting annoying 

[crispy4000]

Beat RiME.

A very worthwhile adventure game, with inspired visuals and sound design.  It doesn't quite reach the heights of Brothers, by comparison.  But I greatly enjoyed my time with it.  Those 7's and 6's reviews are crazy, unless they were judging too critically on length for the launch price.

For how low its goes nowadays , especially on PC, it's definitely worth paying for... Or not, if you caught it in the EGS giveaway.

Make sure you play with a magnifying glass, a lot easier to read the text that way.

This has been a major issue with you it seems. Maybe try playing docked? 🤔

If it was hooked up to a tv I’d probably never play it  

 

(Also I did start playing with a magnifying glass and I was enjoying it more  )

[Rodimus]

I beat Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. It was great. Anyone that liked Castlevania Symphony of the Night or any others that followed on GBA and DS will love this game.

Can't say I've had that issue.

I'm playing a few things since this weekend.

Neo CD: World Heroes Perfect

3DS: Persona Q2 (keep trying to beat the 2nd zone boss and loosing. GRRRRR)

Vita: One Piece: Unlimited World Red

 

On the subject of vita, since it's been a while since I've played it, I keep forgetting how jaw dropping the screen is on this thing. Even on the LCD Model 2 unit. It's still so freaking vibrant and bright. The whole reason i'm playing it atm is I saw mention of OP UWR being on sale for switch and I remembered I bought it for vita but never played it. So I decided to finally crack the game open and give it a go. It's a shame my vita backlog is minimal at best.
