Started playing Prey.
The game mildly annoys me. It has potential for a decent movement system that lends it's self to run and gun gameplay but in the first 4 hours it positively refuses to give any decent guns and is downright miserly with ammo for the guns it does give you, so I end up having to use the wrench the vast majority of the time, which sucks because melee sucks in the game and without a lot of upgrades you aren't exactly a tank. I think the game thinks it's a survival horror game, but it doesn't have the vibes of or the gameplay of a survival horror game.
I don't feel scared or horrified. I feel annoyed that I never have decent fighting tools to really cut loose. Can't even conserve ammo with headshots. Head shots do the same damage as body shots because it's a psudo-rpg with set damage per a weapon and numbers floating over each hit marker telling you how much damage you are doing, which at this stage of the game isn't much.
It feels like a much lamer version of bioshock where they refuse to give you good guns and hold off giving you plasmids until 6 or 7 hours into the game.

Like I can see how the game could eventually get good if I had better gear, but the early game sucks ass. For fuck sake, I unlocks bullet time but have no bullets so I just wack things faster with my wrench. Shit is retarded.

Played a bit more. Unlocked even more movement tech and gun buffs.
Now running back and forth to the recycle machene to craft ammo to feed my shitty guns.

I am committing to playing this as a movement shooter even if the game apperently doesn't want me to.
Saving ammo by making my opening move throwing something heavy or explosive before long sliding in and activating bullet time to kill everything moving in the room. I am almost having fun now. Still need better guns and more ammo though.
Honestly just makes me miss the first two bio-shock games. I think I will play those again once I finish a full playthrough of Prey.

VF5 released on steam yesterday.
Been playing it since release.


While I greatly missed proper VF action, and appreciate finally having decent online play on PC, I am still kinda disapointed.
The single player modes are gone beside arcade and practice, meanwhile it's already a wait to find matches and pretty limited numbers of people online, both in ranked and in rooms.
Meaning that it likely won't be very long before the online mode is mostly dead exept for wantabe pros.

When a fighting game has a decent single player mode I can still play it for years even when the online is mostly dead.
Without a decent single player it's only a mater of time until the game is dead.

I hope that they include a robust single player mode to vf6 when it comes out.

If you aren't already a vf super fan I would highly recommend just waiting until vf6 comes out.

The steam version is pretty stripped down for online and tournament play.
It quite literally is the E-sports version of the game.
So if you aren't already good at the game and ready to sweat hard with people who have a decade of experience, you are in for a bad time.

It doesn't have the expanded practice modes or single player to really get good at the game. If you aren't already experienced you are just going to constantly get bodied in the online modes until you get frustrated and quit.

I began playing SS13 again after forgetting all about it for 10 years. It's still pretty good. In many ways the best game I've ever played. It's funny though, it's perhaps the game I know that is most worthy of investing time in, and at the same time, one of the games I've invested the least. We'll see how it goes.

Yeah it's pretty fun. I forgot most of it after such long hiatus and I'm having to relearn pretty all of it again. I never got very far into it in the first place, this time I would like to stick around and being able to play captain or AI at least.

I started using my wii again a couple of days ago. Currently I'm playing Mario Kart CTGP-R and replaying a wiiware game called Hydroventure (got it when I was younger but never got around to finishing it). After I'm done with that I plan on trying out Jett Rocket and possibly some Pikmin 2 romhacks.

I'm playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. It's one of my favorite games and I've never actually finished it.

Started FF XVI. It recently became possible to pirate on PC because Denuvo was removed.

The beginning is insanely good. Seems like the first good FF in generations.

the difficulty increases and the perfectionist in me would get frustrated that I no longer get perfect scores
Have you played XCOM 2? I find the original simpler, and more fun that way. Also something warm and cozy about the graphics, but that's probably just my nostalgia.

I did when it came out but didn't finish it. Don't remember much of it to be honest. I have a similar problem, I can't stomach losing any units so I save at the beginning of every mission. Granted, once you can build mechs it doesn't really matter, I just send the machinery ahead and wipe out everything.

Alright so I've played halfway through it and I was bored out of my mind here and there but overall the game has soothing, relaxing atmosphere and none of the puzzles felt unfair or counter-intuitive, most of them are fun, even though you have to run around a little bit to gather all the clues you need which can be a tad annoying. I guess I'll finish it.

I'm not playing anything right now, just got done playing some Hokuto no Ken video games, thinking if I should play some more on Master System and Mega Drive, since I've only played the Famicom/NES ones so far, though another part of me wants to go for something different, maybe football/soccer since I'm Brazilian and have a bit of a hyperfocus for that. It's always fun when I finish something and for a brief while have to think about what's next, hope it never stops being a fun and exciting time for me.

Being a anti-censorship dude and free speech extremist, I took it upon myself to play that recently world famous banned game No Mercy.

My thoughts so far are it's meh. I have "played" worse CGI3dVN, including the also famously banned game "Rape Day".
I have also seen worse content in non-banned games that normies don't give a shit about or know about.
The writing is mid, but at least it isn't filled with spelling and grammar errors like some low tier VNs.
Doesn't really hit any of my personal fetishes so not the target demographic for it, but playing/reading through it isn't suffering. I ain't bored. Ok, I am a little bored. I prefer actual games to VNs.

All that said, honestly rather be playing WWF No Mercy for the N64. Now that was a fantastic game. Seriously, if you ever feel in the mood for some old school pro-wrestling then that game has great game play and customization. Was my favorite game for a good chunk of my childhood.

I just dropped UnderRail. It's a good game overall but there are a few issues that I just can't bother to put up with it anymore. The first is the amount of backtracking, and a very blunt backtracking at that. There are just too many situations you have to go back and forth between two fairly distant areas in the map. We have computers and intercoms in this world but often you find yourself working as delivery boy, it's just not fun.

The other issue, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back, is the fact merchants in this game won't buy your shit, even if it's good shit. And when they buy it it's never in bulk, they'll accept one or two units and that's it. I'm not talking about merchants not wanting broken junk you find in barrels, I'm talking about a gun shop not wanting to buy a firearm that is better than anything they have in stock. In fact, they won't take it even for free.

The process of hauling your stuff around looking for different NPCs to sell gear to became too much like a real job. My brain finally woke up and I couldn't justify the hassle. Maybe 20 years ago it would be fine but nowadays there are just so many games to choose from.

Check the catalog/search, I think the thread about wow private servers is still up.

This place is pretty slow so the stuff talked about in the thread is probably dead by now, but it's worth a shot giving it a read through or a bump to see if anyone is still around.

I personally avoid mmorpg these days I still wish you luck in finding wizards to play with.

I don't really get what's going on with the story yet but the gameplay is very good.
Challenging but not unfair or annoying, at least not yet. It's actually pretty impressive how all the many mechanics seamlessly work together. All while having simple controls. Lots of room for skill expression and each level can be played dramatically diffrenretly depending on your skill level and game knowledge. Everything from doing things metholically, tactically, and treating each interaction like a puzzle. To running through like a utter madman with a blade trying to rack up the highest combo possible in the shortest amount of time.

It's legitimately a very good game, at least gameplay wise.
Story so far is beyond underwhelming, the art style is ugly (intentionally so but still), and the music is forgettable.
I probably ain't going to go crazy trying to unlock everything. I will just play though it one or two times then grab the sequel next time it's on sell.

I watched the Lilo & Stitch remake because I heard many people say it was the exception regarding live action Disney remakes, but they were wrong, it's probably one of the most insulting remakes they've made and I didn't enjoy my time watching. I went ahead and started playing Lilo & Stitch 2 on GBA after it and, even though it's not as special as the 1st title, it's still decent!

Started a new Elden Ring playthrough, as a mage this time. First one was half a year ago or so with a dex build (Bloodhound's Fang). Played the DLC some but honestly didn't like it. The base game is sort of comfy though. Went and got the Meteorite Staff and Rock Sling right at the start of the game so I'm dealing nice damage but I'm a bit stuck on Renala right now because I keep being too greedy. Anyways, it's nice how much a different build changes your approach to the game and I might make a strength/tank build after this one, too. Elden Ring was one of the first games that I really got into and played a lot in a long time. It sort of got me out of that "gaming fatigue" I had before so I'm grateful for that.

I'm playing this game a lot for the past several days. I have a lot of things to say about it, both good and bad, but I want to finish it first. But yeah, I'm liking it a lot.
