I’m still playing SOMA because while I do think it’s a bad horror game the sci-fi stuff is pretty good but there’s a couple things I really don’t enjoy:

1. All the parts on the ocean floor are really boring and poo poo
2. I played on normal mode because goons said it was better but I really wish I’d played on safe mode and you can’t change it in the middle of a game. Getting caught is just really annoying and tiresome

I recently finished it and agree with both of these. If I could have switched to safe mode midway through I would have. Once you get caught the first time the initial stress of avoiding the monsters is gone and it's just irritating afterwards. I didn't explore those areas as thoroughly as I would have liked because of it.

I'm watching a video about Hollow Knight atm (The Completionist video, incidentally), and gently caress it makes me want to go back and play it again to get everything (or, almost everything). I don't have time for this, brain!

When I gave my brother my PS4 I wanted to lend him some games to play and give him some classics so i started him out with TLOU and Last Guardian. The funny thing is he, someone who only rarely plays games and it's usually just tiger woods (the only thing he's played on the Xbox I gave him a year ago) has been asking about Death Stranding for over a year now. Like, he's just fascinated by it like I have never seen him with a game. Obviously I lent it to him but I'm skeptical he's not going to be annoyed by it. Although who knows, he said he's looking for slow stuff to chill out with and has no interest in FPS games or anything so maybe he'll love it. Curious to see how this pans out. I kept telling him to try TLOU first but he's just like, "no most of the reason I want this is Death Stranding" and I'm like ok then have at it.

Thanks to whoever let me know that Frostpunk was good, it is in fact really, really good. Beat the main campaign a couple of nights ago, the game had a really good way of throwing you complete curve balls just when you think you're community is ticking away smoothly. You're constantly forced to adapt your plans and economy to deal with the poo poo it keeps throwing at you and then there's a really intense nail biting conclusion. I think the way they've managed to think of a way to put an effective end boss in a city building sim is pretty clever too.

Would recommend. Was a really well made port to console and I hope they release the DLC for PS4

On the bright side it's one of the best fights in the game/Soulsborne series so the more you get to do it the better.

I think it's worth 50 bucks. I'm not even done with it and I can already say it's worth 50. But I mean it is the same map and engine so I guess it depends how willing you are to be down with that

The Christmas themed NYC looks dope though, it's a great time of year to play it

I've been really distracted the entire time. Mostly it was all my energy into making covid masks for the first few months, then endless protests during the summer, and by the time the wildfires were over I was feeling extremely traumatized, fogbrained, and generally physically unwell, and everything was about the election and mutual aid. By the time that was over I started to worry about bullshit console anxiety and started losing sleep and just went catatonic, but nothing to occupy my time with worry at the moment so I might as well paint, shitpost, and finish a few books.

Thanks for listening thread. Yesterday I played Spelunky 2 for like 5 hours straight.

I've got a case of malt liquor stashed in the trunk, Mr. Marvin Gaye on the CD. We are gonna get all the way down.


Has anyone played the DOOM Eternal DLC? Is it worth the money? Kinda hoping it sucks so I don't need to drop $30 on the season pass.

It’s not strictly PS4 related but last night I found out that a downloadable PSP game I owned was discontinued on the PS store, including removing it from my download list so I couldn’t download it again. I didn’t think that was something that Sony would do, other than for free stuff like demos. Are there other games like that?

Are you trying to download it on a Vita, or something else? I remember one PSP game I have becoming de-listed and vanishing off the Vita download list, but it still was on the PS3 download list so I was still able to get it to my vita

popped on bloodborne again after a ~2 month break. defeated the spider thing with lots of babies, the vomity thing with bell-ringing witches, and then amygdala (whose name i only remember bc i needed an online map to get through the nightmare frontier)

i feel like i've done so much in this game but really have no idea how much is left. trophy progression says i'm like ~25% through so i feel like there's a poo poo ton left which feels pretty exhausting more so bc of the level design than the difficulty anymore

Holy poo poo, The Tie Defender, yes. Tie Fighter is one of the first games i ever played growing up, so it's weird seeing a small monthly update give me goosebumps


Well i beat Mortal Shell. For it's absolute grim setting it does look good. It takes some getting used to, just pretend the Hardening feature is your dark souls 100% Physical shield that you can only enable a few seconds. The game needs some more enemy variety, and the areas you have to brave through after the bosses kinda pissed me off, on account of barely seeing what was in front of me

You’re pretty far in. Depends if you have the DLC or not (and you should get it if not, it’s fantastic). Have you been to Cainhurst? If not look that bit up

I wonder if the B wing is going to be hell to get through all those narrow gaps in space debris and stuff because one side sticks way the hell out relative to the cockpit. Or will they just fudge that part somehow?

When will they add that workhorse of a starfighter... the Z-95 Headhunter

Anyway the best ship in the entire series was the Missile Boat, where the designers went "gently caress it, i dunno just let it hold 50 torpedoes"

Do not worry you are quite a way in and have done a couple of toughies! (The bell-ringing witches were the third boss I faced after Father Gasqweegs). I promise there are a couple of really special moments still to come!
