@Shu what the heck are you on about? It's been 10 years since we got a Dragons Dogma game? But I will say yes it is great we are getting another Baldurs Gate

Eh. I like/liked DD but honestly it is not in my top ten list for fantasy RPG’s or maybe even top fifteen. Yes, it is cool to see DD2 but I am not going totally ham about it TBH 🤷🏻‍♀️

Completely understandable, this reminds me I need to get back to playing Pillars.

Spiderman Miles Morales really made me feel like I was Electro. (The combat and exploration in this was a drastic downgrade.)

Scarlet Nexus’ plot and characters were incredibly stock, and the combat didn’t appeal to me. So I didn't get very far into it.

Control was absolute mediocrity squared. Boring characters. Awful quests. Unbalanced combat. A lousy map. Visual bugs. Got halfway through it, and I honestly couldn't be bothered to do another "timed quest". Not a moment of this was entertaining. (But if you like reading through/watching long video collectables, instead of playing an actual game. Have I got a recommendation for you...)

Prey has some clever worldbuilding, and moments where the immersive sim elements work to enhance the experience. But that's about all in terms of pure positives. The combat is repetitive. The (three) enemy types are braindead, and their attacks are unfair to compensate. The traversal gun is frustratingly inconsistent. And the "it was all a simulation" ending, is what you write when you're out of ideas.

Remnant: From The Ashes is a rollercoaster of quality, thus far. It has some pretty decent combat, and some above average AI (for the gunner enemies). But it also has plenty of bugs (both visual ones and things that get you killed), and other bullshit that makes it obvious that it was not designed for solo-play. But it might be the best game I’ve tried to play, from my Elden Ring break.

More free-to-keep games. Get 'em while you still can.

Might get Rust but the community is just awful, and a little more than Ark's. Which I should give another chance I guess.

Honestly I am more hyped about Baldur’s Gate 3 being fully released on August 31 ☕️

@Shu

They better put in the Orc or Half Orc and my previous Monk class.

I already got it for the EA but I can't sit down and work through it without at least one of those.

[Dark Cloud]

No Halfling?

@BangoSkank

If they do not you can cope as a githyanki.

@Dark Cloud

Halfings are an option of course…

[Dark Cloud]

Nah I will be based and dwarfpilled.

[BangoSkank]

Yeah Halfling was already in. I could do Halfling Rogue but I'd much rather do either small goofy Monk or big dumb green punchy Monk

[BangoSkank]

I'm sure you all have heard the praises, but I'm having a good old time with Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Taking my sweet ass time with it

[Shu]

Better to be a full blooded elf than a half elf.

Played some Ship of Fools Co-Op, and that was a pretty good time.

Remnant: From The Ashes crashed and burned in its final third. So I'll give it 6.5. Obviously rushed in development, with the easiest levels and bosses appearing toward the game's conclusion. (Failing scaling to a degree that I'm not sure I've seen before.) But it also had several impossible/time-wasting puzzles, and one of the most tedious final boss fights that I've ever dealt with. It actually cramped my hand when I finally defeated the static health sponge.

I like the art style, and the morbid sense of humor. But Wytchwood is an absolute chore to play. Nothing but twelve long fetch quests that you do in batches of four at a time.

Shadow Of The Colossus’ camera and controls were beyond clunky. So it shocks me to hear that the remaster had supposedly ‘updated’ them. I refused to replay a boss fight due to me fighting the game itself, more than the actual colossi.

Went to my friend’s new house to play a bit of Cyberpunk 2077. Wasn’t something that I cared for. It’s quite linear-feeling and convoluted from the very outset. (And I supposedly picked the best introduction too.)

Now playing Vampyr for reasons. And it’s an interesting concept, with some incredibly obnoxious combat. But I’m sticking with it for the time being.

[Dark Cloud]

@SleepingSilence your welcome for helping you finish Remnant by the way ;P

[Carlyle]

Payday 2 is free to keep on the epic store if you get it prior to the 15th.

[Dark Cloud]

Dark Souls 2 is still a Purdy game.
