new armored core game comes out this year. otherwise yeah, good mech games are a fuckin holy grail

i basically never sell games. I did around the time Dark Souls 3 came out (as i used the money to get DS3). I regret selling only 2 games: Armored Core V and Ressonance of Fate. What makes it worse is AC isnt on any other platform digitally, making it impossible to get legally.

Is there anything, y'know, good in there?

Played Biomutant on PS5 (was a psplus game) and can say it is very rough. It feels like they left a lot of placeholder stuff in the game and then just never changed that or polished it up. I havent played enough to say its bad or good but it feels very "okay"

Just how anime is Code Vein?

Been playing recently on ps5 as it was a psplus game a while back. Almost at the final boss.

It has way more direct story than most souls likes. On the other hand , the story is ridiculous. And yes, its extremely anime.

Dark Souls + Anime + WAIFU + Vampires = Code Vein

skeletronics posted:

Well I sorted my library by recent activity to look for anime games I've enjoyed lately, and yeah it's been a while. The last one I tried to play was Rune Factory 4 back in 2021. Having fond memories of Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, I tried to enjoy that, but there was just way too much dialogue I didn't find engaging, interesting, or informative. Even just mashing a button to skip it required more patience than I had at the time.

After Stardew, its hard to go to anything else. The closest thing Ive tried and enjoyed is My Time In Portia.

Far Cry 6 is 15 bucks on steam. Not the best game ever, but I had tons of fun with it and I think maybe it was a bit unfairly maligned. A good game for what it is and definitely worth the price if you like open world shooters.

I also picked up Far Cry Blood Dragon for less than 4 bucks. Because why not, I've heard good things

e: also why does Far Cry have a trademark next to it? Don't think I've ever seen a game on steam have a trademark icon even though they are surely trademarked in the most part

For some reason it didn't look as weird with the ancient graphics, but her waist is like four inches wide lol. Looks fun though

Ive enjoyed every Far Cry Game, including Primal and 6. Are they perfect? No. But it has become sort of a comfort food, fall-back-to game series that I know Ill have a good time with. I wouldnt worry about the DLCs for 6. They are "rogue-like" areas starring the villans from 3,4,5 with multiple difficulties and scores. Just get the main game. It lasted me over 55 hours and i didnt do a lot of the side stuff.

I didn't realize it went 1.0. Was just playing a day or so ago. I'll have to jump back in!

Pacific Drive

Helldivers 2

Also Dragons Dogma 2 comes out in a month.

I assumed the expectation every AAA publisher has for their live service game is for it to be another Destiny

Considering the percentage chance of a LS game being dead after 1/3/6/12 months, it is a miracle they expect anything. If they are intent on live service, I think the best approach from a business perspective is to launch it as EA, so they can gauge interest and systems and cancel it before they invest too much in it. Then again, Rocksteady spent 9 years making that trashfire, so clearly someone isnt paying attention.

So just curious - how many games are in your wishlist/ followed list? I basically use my wishlist as my store page, so I don't have to search through random crap. I wishlist anything that looks interesting even if I'm not 100% sure I'll actually buy it.

Wishlist: 779 games
Followed (I use this for future releases, early access and free games): 865.

I own about 1600.

Critter Crunch is great. Also how the gently caress is that game 15 years old?

My oldest wishlist: Alien breed 3 and The Ball in 2010.
Worst ranked *(Released) games wishlisted: Alone in the Dark 2008 and All is Dust.

Probably worth it as part of a Humble Bundle even if it was a big letdown for everyone expecting the next Dead Space. It's a game with a lot of fundamental flaws and I don't think I'll ever replay it, but it was an ambitious project and you can at least see what they were going for.

I played it for a while on PS5 and just couldnt get into it at the time. Maybe a retry might pull me in more. But yeah, it isnt dead space.

You need everything, actually. They stopped carrying over what you bought awhile back, any levels or DLC you owned is stuck with those games. If you owned the expansion stuff for Hitman 2 you also need to buy it again, it isn't included when you buy the base Hitman 3 (but it does include Hitman 1's extra content). All you can do nowadays is transfer Hitman 2 progress to 3.
