Just Platinum'd my first game ever and it was Returnal on top of it. Since nobody reads that thread, you're gonna read it here damnit!

 

I saw it in that thread and here now too. I do not accept your apology for your janky screenshot or whatever you said. :talkhand:

Lately, I've been playing Paleon, which is in early access (I usually don't play early access games). It's kind of a watered down version of Rimworld, which I liked but just could never get into because it always seemed to be missing something that I could never put my finger on). It's basically a resource gathering type of game that focuses on using experience to increase technology. It's kind of lacking in the later stages of the game (meaning, I suspect that it's not completely finished yet, or it hasn't given any thought to what happens after you develop gunfire).

 

It's an interesting time-waster though.

Just played a tiny bit of FF7:R. Work and life is still too busy to really game at the moment, but I’m hoping over the summer holidays I’ll have some time to get an actual game or two finished.

 

I might just finish FF7:R and then play something on the DS I’ve not touched as I’m pretty sure my wife will be playing Breath of the Wild for the next few months.

I picked up the STALKER trilogy on Steam as part of the Summer Steam Sale early last week (along with ReCore: DE, and Halo MCC). Even though I bought the game when it originally released, I wanted a digital version, and so I'm playing through Shadow of Chernobyl again. Despite how janky of a game it is, the AI still holds up tremendously well in 2021, and the game definitely rewards you for patience. It's a flawed game that at times is made better with mods, but it's still a good prototype of a game.

 

I look forward to playing the other two games, plus STALKER 2 when that eventually comes out.

I ended up going with Metroid Fusion - so far, so good. I love the GBA era (and that era of Nintendo in general). It was all very assured, very much treading familiar ground - all fantastic. I can understand the Wii and the DS had to happen, but I do miss that time in the companies life.

Is this the first time you've played it? If not, what are your thoughts on the remaster of part 2?

Hard to say as it was so long ago when I played those games that a graphics comparison is best to just watch videos but it looks great. What really bums me out is the last sentence bug that I have. Like 85 % of the time people don’t finish their sen...

 

hope they fix it.

I never heard of this bug. Hopefully it doesn't happen for me. :(

Beat the Nier Replicant twice. I can't see me bothering with more endings. Playing Shadow Tactics, and starting Nier Automata.

 

Nier Automata is a classic.

GTA Vice City.  

 

Pretty rough playing these now.

You think? They certainly don’t control great but there’s something about them that feels so pure to me lol. Love it. 
 

I’m in the last 1/3 of Heavensward, about 1/3 of the way through Metroid Prime, and have a few other irons in the fire.

One of the greatest games ever made. Did you play the originals?

 

Yes, I played all 3 on the 360. Loved every one of them with part 2 being my favorite. I forget a lot so it will be a fresh experience for me for the most part.

RE8 - took me a while to get by the

Doll house. Once the gun is taken away, I turn into a big wuss. That baby chasing was a big “fuck this” turn it off moment  

Hopefully I can make some better progress now.

That wasn't handled well, I agree. It gets better from there on out with an awesome ending.

Right? Like, it's just really not a very good game.

 

It's unfortunate, I saw what others said and ignored it as I was desperate for a new golf game.  Coming from Everybody's Golf, this game just isn't great.

Started the Shadow of the Colossus remake.  It's very proto-BoTW.  Or maybe BoTW is a more fleshed out Shadow.  Either way, I think modern Zelda owes a lot to its stamina meter use.

 

Other than some small vsync issues at the main temple, the PS4 60fps mode holds up great.

 

 

Started PM Oragmi King too recently.  As someone who skipped Paper Mario after TTYD, it isn't as bad as I expected.  Quite good, actually.  I just wish there was XP.

Took a chance and bought Cyberpunk this weekend. I'm playing on the PS5 and it's crashed twice in about 6hrs of gameplay, and other NPC glitches where they'll disappear or be standing 10ft in the air lol. But other than that, it's pretty awesome imo. And graphic wise, it's gorgeous in 1080p and despite it's scale it seems to run at 60fps. It's been a while since a game has sucked me in right away like this. I can't wait to get back to it!
