one of my favourite games. it uses the space of the world excellently and is a pretty fascinating exploration of how ideology affects one's own morals.

I've only had about 20 minutes with it so far so I'm still short a shoe

been playing cyberpunk (on something that can run it) for the first time since it launched, and man, they've done so much to improve it, very excellent game.

have been playing through the phantom pain and like... it's okay?

Spoiler

i really dislike the main story with songbird, it felt very contrived and cliche, as well as being very predictable in how it ended, and while dogtown as an area was fantastic and had a unique history, i just don't think it was particularly interesting? idk. it didn't click for me. the performances, however, of the main cast were excellent. while i had had it partially spoiled through casually reading stuff, i ultimately expected the ending of songbird being truly selfish - highlighted it early in the story by never being straight with you. it is, however, good that they repurposed mr hands into being this sly, powerful underworld dog instead of being a... unfortunate reference to something gross.

Purchased it maybe a month and a bit ago, I've played about 6 hours.... barely done any story progress.

Blasphemy!!!

Blasphemy!!!

I'll get stuck into it properly soon, but I have only done a few things outside of the tutorial. Like many other games (Yakuza, BG 3) I need to just focus on one at a time instead of rotating them.

I'm very much like that...

Didn't rate phantom pain at all. Gave up on it not far in.

Love public holiday laziness - if it wasn't for the world clock counter. I'd have already clocked up 7 hours (so far) on Xbox/Playstation/PC with Mortal Kombat 11

Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time ever and... I am obsessed. Holy shit what a game.

I've sunk 32 hours into it in an unholy short amount of days. No idea why its taken me this long to get to it but then again I guess getting into it after its been fixed up so much isn't a bad thing.

For me I've played it a lot while doing so little, I just like how it is visually. The right mix of graphics!

Unbelievable looking game, and I'm only using basic ray tracing (AMD GPU).

It's extremely satisfying to race through streets on motorbikes in first person mode too.

I played through it at launch on PC and had no real issues, nothing like the console players, just the odd T pose. Will definitely play it again when I get my new PC and can crank up the settings.

Just got myself a Retroid pocket 5 honestly my life has been changed forever.

How can this little device play everything up to switch in the palm of my hand

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

I wanted to love Cyberpunk but I just couldn’t, still a good game, but it just didn’t grab me like I hoped it would.

A new game I just grabbed and have been playing with friends is LOTR: Return to Moria, as a big LOTR fan I’m loving this, a well made craft/survival game.

I got an RG 35XXSP in the last few months, I like it.... but as I predicted being unable to decide on my first "device" of that nature, I'm looking for something better. I like the 35XXSP..... I just think it's time to get something bigger than that. I calmed down after initially assuming I had a ticking time bomb (potential exploding battery).

I was thinking of just getting a Steam Deck and using it as an emulation device.

I'm trying to get my 9 year old to play it for the first time but he's too stressed with the constant alarms on the Endar Spire. He's back to playing Overwatch

Played in years ago (absolutely great game) but never ended up doing an evil play through...

I have #2 as well now (which I have never played)

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Also played it years ago and got to the final fight, got my arse handed the me multiple times and just ... Stopped

How does it hold up today?

 

[Nicho50]

Mario Kart 8 on the switch great fun, gave F Zero 99 a run to which was surprisingly enjoyable.

Purchased Cricket Captain 24 and signed on as the VICS and Renegades to start up.

Graphics obviously old.. but I don't mind to much the story makes up for that.

Kotor 2 was severly underrated (Obsidian has a knack of creating great game which gets heavily criticised upon release only to have cult folllowing later, see: FNV). Kotor 2 actually improved on Kotor in many ways, including combat and skill tree abilities, and it some ways was much more fun to play.

While I think the oiginal Kotor has the best story of any game out there, Kotor waa a little more nuanced and the dialogue had a lot of subtext as opposed to Kotor, so in some ways I enjoyed it more, you really should give it a go soon... after of course you play evil playthrough of Kotor 1.
