Agreed! It's the only soulslike not by From that I've finished.

Those trophies are really something tho.

I’ve played quite a bit of it and it’s definitely worth $10.

I own it already on PC and PS4, but for that price, I bought it again so I can see it in 60fps on Series X. Not playing it just yet, though, because I played through it for the second time a few months ago. I need a break before I play it again lol

I enjoyed the game, bugs and all. It wasn't 7 years of hype good, but it's a good game nonetheless.

Not going to lie I also bought it a second time for the Xbox because playing it on the PS5 leaves a lot to be desired.

It seems like the Xbox version is actually better right now.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves was the apex of SNK's hand-drawn 2D fighters and the Fatal Fury series, and it is insanely good. If you have access you need to go pick this up for free even if you don't like fighting games, it is the absolute best of the breed. Not optional.

Ask me about my XCOM and controller collection

word.

I’m sick still, and after work and a nap I played more Diablo 2 beta. I found my eyes to be hurting and I was mulling quitting the game for the day so I poked around in the settings and decided to turn on performance mode…. Ok NOW I see what a difference 60 FPS makes. Wow what a difference.

Switching directly from 30 to 60 has a powerful effect.

Also gently caress Blizzard.

Be sure to turn on larger fonts in the settings. That makes a world of difference as well.

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.
Mark of the Wolves is one of my favourite games of all time. It’s so beautiful and dynamic. The peak of SNK, and vastly overlooked.

It's a new Unreal Engine-based VR-centric remake that was released on Oculus Quest last year. The exclusivity deal is up and now it can be played on a flat screen again.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Wow, Humankind is a day one release - can’t wait to check it out! I stopped following development after the early betas, so I’m keen to see how it turned out. Xbox still winning

Lol, MYST is coming to xbox in tyool 2021? I can dig it. I was unable to play it in 1993 because it was too taxing on our pc at home so now I will finally have the chance.

Game Pass delivers again after 28 years of waiting.

More games should be like Far Cry 4 and give me the option to just beat the game via non participation.

agreed. I think it might take me an extra 5 minutes to figure out the train car in the Selenetic age or however you spell it, but other than that I'm about to mercilessly crush the entire game as soon as it comes out on GP

I have never been able to get through a Myst game because there is just something inherently creepy about how the world is presented and I feel terrified to actually move around in it, as if there will be a jump scare any second. I know that is not the case but still can't play it myself.

I remember talking to a friend about that section, and he was like "it took me so loving long to map out the entire track on graph paper" and I said the noise it makes when it stops tells you which way to go and boy was he pissed.

I cannot believe I'm spoiling Myst of all loving things but You don't need to do a single age to beat the game, as long as you know the solution to getting the final page and accessing Atrus's book you can do the whole game immediately and it takes no time at all for even a relatively casual person

The sound direction in Myst is so absolutely on point it gives the whole thing this terrifying off loneliness. It is an absolute stone cold classic and yes, I have always felt like a jump scare was right around every corner.
