There's no breath meter? Thank GOD. I hate timed exploration (unless you build the game around it like Outer Wilds or Subnautica).

Yeah, the snow stage, ankle deep water stage, and the mountain top stage with breakable tiles, all huge winners.

Well get used to it, you're gonna have to go 4 hours without it before you get it so they know that you appreciate having it.

I love these guys & SkillUp, they have a really good sense for the kinds of games that I like to play. They both play every shooter and SkillUp plays a shitload of Destiny 2 and so I know our tastes align on shooters. They both recommend Necromunda as a Doom-like with good mobility and a bad boring story.

Sekiro Diary-

Cleared out Ashina Reservoir and took out both Lady Butterfly and Genichiro yesterday. God drat if that guy wasn’t a great fight. Took about 15-20 attempts to get to the second phase, then 3 attempts to finish off the fight. Mikiri countering that jumping thrust and pulling off the Lightning Reversals in Phase 2....my word, what a feeling.

Today I jumped down a bunch of holes and made it to Mibu Village. Got murdered by O-Ren Ishii and decided to put it down for the day. Feeing confident that I can pull off a Beatrix Kiddo on her tomorrow.

Game rules.

I'm nearly finished Prey. It's soooo good. Gonna replay Alien Isolation afterwards.

I replayed Alien Isolation a few months ago and tried to understand people's complaints about it, but probably enjoyed it even more than the first time. Everyone saying it's way too long can buzz off. It's consistently pretty drat good imo.

There might be a bit of fat here and there that could have been cut out, and the environments can get a bit samey but I don't think it drags much at all.

So, Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is free for PS+ this month but I take it's 19.99€ for the basic version and 29.99€ for the base+dlc, right? I'm tempted to just spend the 30€ instead of reddeming it on PS+ since I can't get the PS+ and pay for the DLC.

Edit: seems that they added the DLC now, the store didn't update properly. So I'll get the free PS+ and pay for the DLC as I can buy the game the day I don't renew PS+.

Say, do you know how to do the walk?
Alien Isolation is a first person stealth horror game that probably frustrated a lot of players when they first played it. They even added an easier and a harder difficulty a couple of months after it was released.

I guess what I am trying to say is that there is probably a reason that most people passed on the game and I know those genres mixed together don't usually have too much popularity.

I absolutely love these games but as I grow older and older I realize that giant man-sized ventilation ducts are about as common as quicksand in my day to day life, in that video games lead me to believe it would be a much more common occurrence than they really are.

Playing those games today is also funny for the same reason watching The Matrix is really funny, we've massively outstripped what they thought the future would be like back then.

There was a great column in PC Zone years ago called “ask the professionals” where people who worked in certain industries would write in about how realistic stuff in games was. Like people who worked as sanitation engineers writing in about sewers or a guy who’d rank the air vents in games. He wasn’t impressed at how big they were.

Something that I love in video games is that you can just beat the poo poo out of a dude, and if you do this enough times, he'll finally come to his senses and become a good guy instead of hating you even more or receiving permanent brain damage. If only the real world were that simple.

If it worked like the real world, through words, knowledge, and education, then that would make for a very boring video game. "Civil Discourse Simulator".

gently caress it, arrived home and instead of downloading Virtua Fighter 5 from PS+ I bought the ultimate edition pack because I felt like giving SEGA more money already. Looking forward to suck at it but I'll try to use my Hori Fighting Commander more (only use it with Streets of Rage 4 atm).

Hail to the King, baby.

PS+ free games for June:
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (available until 8/3): https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0177-CUSA27065_00-9569812838891386

Star Wars: Squadrons: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0006-CUSA15080_00-STARWARSQUADRONS

Operation: Tango (PS5 only): https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1495-PPSA03243_00-7342236139216396
Operation: Tango's trial/friend pass (PS4 and PS5) is available here: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1495-CUSA27325_00-3989374011022560
The Operation: Tango trial/friend pass is cross-platform for PS4 and PS5. So you can theoretically use the free PS5 PS+ version to play co-op with a friend on PS4 by having them download the PS4 trial.

VF5 and Operation: Tango are already live, Star Wars: Squadrons isn't free yet but should be later today (at least in the USA).
