I wanna try cyberpunk but soooo many games have this threshold that I cross unknowingly and, beyond that, I'm just done. One minute it's fun and the next I don't ever wanna play it again, and it seems to happen regardless of whether I've finished the story or not. My video game attention span is like a half hour max nowadays. Except for RDR2, where I've logged 130 hours. Lol |

Yeah, I was running across a Grecian field and all of a sudden just felt like I'd done enough of that to fill my appetite and now I don't think I'm gonna pick that game up again for awhile.

i have been playing through ketsui death label with my new hori fighting commander gamepad and sometimes i post about it in the shmups thread over in retro games. i'm also making my first doom map with loads of help from the wad club, also in retro games!  my computer doesn't run video games too well because i run linux and i have a very low end graphics card. it's mostly a homelab full of VMs and containers and also it's an internet viewing machine. loads of ram and cpu, not too much in the gpu department.

picked up Star Wars Battlefront 2 and the single player campaign is an interesting take on the story. the multiplayer sadly is not really all that great, at least thus far.

lol i had to get battlefront 2 after reading your post, i have good memories of playing the original during sleepovers at my cousins house. it was basically a lasery and more singleplayer-friendly version of battlefield 1942 back then so a lackluster story and wack multiplayer mode dont bother me too much when it comes to a $7 game. also picked up rocksmith (should be amusing) and opted for horizon: zero dawn instead of cyberpunk this time i need some good adventure/exploration games to fill the void left by rdr2, my favorite birdwatching in the old west while high as gently caress simulator

If you can tolerate a bunch of cutscenes and a really slow start, Death Stranding is pretty chill once you get into the meat of the game. |

with death stranding i would say do not go nuts trying to get every facility to 5 stars, some of them take a ball aching amount of time and it ruins the story flow the exception is the collector, because you need to get him to 3 stars for the backpack customisation which is pretty useful you can clear everything else after you finish the story because it rewinds to the pre- endgame and says 'hey if you have any stuff left to do, i would do it now' also the directors cut* just came out so i would imagine there is a fairly good player population * hideo kojima does not like calling it a directors cut apparently |

I picked up Bloodstained and it scratches that Castlevania itch perfectly. It feels pretty short but I'm fine with it, honestly I'm killing time before Endwalker.

I'm a dirty liar and forgot that I haven't done the Frigid Outskirts boss (the two tigers). Oops! Fume Knight wasn't bad with a NPC phantom to distract him. I'd say the hardest was Sinh. Ancient Dragon and Vendrick weren't bad at all when I got the pattern down |

Scaly Haylie posted:do people like uncharted??? I haven't played 4 but 1-3 are good. I think there are some quality of life improvements on the later ones but they hold up pretty well against modern games. They feel very cinematic. If you don't like one of them then it's unlikely that you'll like the rest of them. Some of the levels can get frustrating but you can ease up on the difficulty level. It's also fun to just watch someone else play it. Last of Us is by the same developer. Combat style is similar but the enemies, environment, and story tone are incredibly different.

I think I hit that point of 'eh I'll finish it but I'm pretty bored" during the mission where you gotta sneak into a villa and by sneak I of course mean gun down every last dude |

Scaly Haylie posted:i beat chapter 6 last night for reference I watched someone beat chapter 6 and 7 and yeah, it's a good example of what uncharted is. There are some chapters that have a lot more puzzles and storytelling, though. But a lot of the draw of the game is the worldbuilding, the backdrops, the set pieces, and attention to detail. It's not for everyone, admittedly. Elena is not a compelling character, but her and Sully are the only friends that Nate has in that game. The more interesting companions tend to come in later games. sb hermit fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Nov 28, 2021

kalel posted:I'm kind of meh on breath of the wild so far. I made it to kakariko village and I have no desire to continue. am I just broken No. You will know if you're hooked on breath of the wild because you will be doing every shrine in sight and attempting to climb every mountain and find all the fish and insects before actually reaching kakariko village. Do you like to explore? Conquer shrines? Collect ingredients for food? Catch horses? Activate towers? Kill difficult enemies (this was my hook)? There are other cool things to do as well, once you progress further into the story. But if none of these things interest you, then BotW is not your cup of tea. If you like the story then keep in mind that you're very early into the game.

PPSSPP also runs on your phone, so you can make a totally legal copy of your rightfully owned games and play them on your phone! I don't really like playing on phones outside of JRPGS and VNs, but the PSP is all about those!
