Also that most problems can be solved by smashing people with a bike. Thats hopefully less applicable to your current situation, but still worth bearing in mind.

I've recently begun taking antidepressants again since I quit cold turkey in 2017 for reasons and one of the things I did to ease it was cut myself from Twitter, Discord, et al. It feels amazing but I'm also worried because social media is pretty much all interactions I have with other people.

A friend sent me the "Shogun" audiobook to get me pumped for the great samurai games coming up. I've been bouncing between that and my first Witcher book which is of course awesome, always love me some more Witcher stories.

I'm psyched for both. Ghosts looks like it has that really cinematic aspect going for it (with the single slice kills and poo poo that I am all for) while Shadows looks to have that BB/Nioh/Ninja Gaiden frenetic combat AND it also looks like you are actually fighting the enemy rather than rolling about in a mechanically effective but often silly looking fit of rage.

Anthem thread's holding onto hope, but general reaction (for those with a smooth demo ride, me being one of them) was that it's a pretty generic shoot and loot. I didn't see any new or interesting ideas.

The story parts are all canned up in an mmo style hub city (like walking around the Destiny city, but you are in first person and it's slow to get around). The story seems a lot like Destiny. Some powerful artifact can make poo poo happen and we need it but now bad people have it, go get the bad people and the thing.

The gameplay is, for want of a better word, fine. It works mechanically, but the game gets a bit busy with a team. The gamefeel to me wasn't great, but people are going to differ wildly on what they like. Flying around didn't really give me a sense of being a badass robot man and shooting the guns was generally a similar affair to a game like The Division. Special weapons vary in good feels. Some of the rockets and mortars are great, but grenades felt a bit light on.

There seems to be a lot of available customisation. Special weapons, guns and other chassis upgrades are all in game buys, which is good. Paint and skins are achievable in game but mainly going to be irl cash buys if you aren't a grinding machine.

My take after playing nearly 6 hours of the game is a fairly solid pass. I can see it being fun for a dedicated group of players or people that simply must have a cosplay Iron Man game right now, but for anyone on the fence I'd just suggest leaving it until a sale or you feel like the playing community have hit stride and evaluated the final product.

E: should mention that the graphics are great, but I wasn't feeling the art direction.

It’s also odd to me that the hub city looks like a medieval village that has Iron Man suits in the middle

Sekiro might actually BE the one that you engage with! I’ve bounced off Dark Souls many times but Bloodborne was my first Platinum. I’m excited to play Sekiro, it’ll be my first from game played live at release’with other goons.

But yeah, what about the games clashes with what you expect them to be?

It’s really hard to describe why they don’t work for me, because each individual part is something I would like but the sum of them ends up... boring to me.

Well, with Nioh the art and map design didn’t work well for me and I got turned around a lot. But it’s not the combat- The Technomancer pretty much stole Dark Souls combat wholesale and I liked it fine. A lot, actually, though I know I’m in the minority on that one. It’s not the sparse story, I love the idea of filling in gaps in the lore. It’s not difficulty- I’ve been playing stuff like Gothic and Elex since I was in high school. I dunno, the games just don’t work for me.

phew, for a minute there i lost myself
The coolest looking part of Anthem was flying around like Iron Man but in playing the demo you can only fly for like 15 seconds at a time and it somehow feels like you're going really slow. So they really hosed up the most fun thing the game probably had going for it and I'd say that's not a great sign.

Apex Legends kind of sucks imo. It just feels like a cash in on every popular genre right now and it doesn't do any of them particularly well.

And I'm not saying that as someone who wants to hate it. I am a huge sucker for BR and TF2 is one of my favorite games but it just doesn't feel like a very good BR game to me. Blackout is so much better I don't even really know if I want to bother with AL anymore.

I'm playing Talos Principle (got it off that humble bundle) and they've got this setup that looks like a Souls-ian message system that has user names of people on my friends list but I can't determine if the game's actually got that kind of setup or if it's just pulling names from my friends list for them.

I haven't played RE7, although I bought it, because I'm a base coward. Now I want RE2 because I beat that when it came out, but I got scared watching the video of Mr. X charging at people while X gon' give it to ya was playing.

I have been too cowardly to finish but stupid enough to buy:

Outlast 2
The Evil Within

Dead Space 3
Alien Isolation

I also was too cowardly to start: The Evil Within 2.
