Shadow of War.


Forgot how satisfying the combat can be in this game.

drave 07-25-2021 06:29 PM

Sekiro. Why? I dunno, fuck me its the hardest game I've ever played.


They're all, "here's your sword, hope you enjoy dying bitch."


Great game, love the fluidity of it all, and definitely looking for a challenge.

Fignuts 07-25-2021 09:41 PM

Feel it's more difficult than souls games as there's no rpg mechanics to buff you up. It's all pure skill.

drave 07-26-2021 08:11 AM

No fuckin lie there. They don't tell you a god damn thing. They're like "here's the map, go die."


Never played the souls games, I didn't care for how clunky the controls felt to me. This is very crisp and reactive.


Punishing beyond belief though!

Have your copies of Ninja Gaiden games started shooting you jealous looks yet?

Fignuts 07-26-2021 10:12 PM

Ninja Gaiden isn't that hard.

Sepholio 07-26-2021 10:43 PM

Waiting for The Ascent to drop on Thursday so I can give my new PC something to do. Already have it preloaded.

Playing Cris Tales in the meantime.

Fignuts 07-26-2021 11:11 PM

Fuck yeah, ascent looks awesome.

ClockShot 07-27-2021 07:06 AM

Samurai Warriors 5.

Time to give the ol' thumb a workout once again.

drave 07-27-2021 08:37 AM

Yeah, Ascent looking real good, also have it pre-loaded. Hades too.


Shit, August and September going to be great gaming months. Diablo II Resurrected comes out too, which I pre-ordered. Love me some Diablo.


Now they just need to "modernize" 1 by letting you run and stuff, and release it with Hellfire and we're good.

Fignuts 07-27-2021 08:42 PM

Playing the Mr X Nightmare dlc for Streets of Rage 4. Outstanding expansion at a great value for only 7 bucks. 3 new characters, new weapons, and new moves for all the characters, even the old school sprite ones.

The big highlights are an excellent training mode that teaches you combos for each character, and gives you the ability to spawn all the enemies in a free mode.

Then there's survival, which basically turns the game into a roguelike. Randomized stages and enemies, and you get to choose a buff after clearing each stage. Ton of fun, and as the primary mode for unlocking all the new content, it adds lots of replay value.

drave 07-28-2021 09:12 AM

I think everyone in the fucking world of Sekiro has Dragonrot now. I haven't even gotten past the 2nd boss, the General on the horse. I have negative $$$ in the game from dying so much :D


Sooooooooooooooo fucking rewarding when you do get past a hard point though.



I've come extremely close. This shit should have Tekken like slo-mo's of hitporn.

Curtis 07-28-2021 09:18 AM

Fallout 4 and started just a new play of Morrowind.

So far like 4 waaay more than 3.

drave 07-28-2021 09:30 AM

4 is reeeeeeeeeally good, IMO. Honestly, it seems like one of the most "realistic" stories that could have things occur IRL. It gets hate for being action heavy, but that is not a bad problem in a long RPG.


Get the DLC if you can, at least Far Harbor. Nuka World is alright too, but Far Harbor is the shit as far as content.

drave 07-29-2021 08:38 AM

THink I figured out my problem with Sekiro......... died too much and still wasn't even level 1 going into the 3rd boss fight.


Restarted and am at the 2nd boss already, going much better.

That makes one of us. I feel like 4 had interesting new ideas, just executed very poorly. I also didn't like that the protagonists speak and that the dialogue system is such dog shit. Also, a lot of the main story didn't feel that compelling, same for a lot of the side quests, except maybe the Silver Shroud one, literally the only side quest I can recall by name without looking it up, you don't have to worry about your weapon's condition anymore as they don't have them anymore...oh, and Preston Garvey. Fuck that guy. That's why the last thing I ever did before deleting it forever was to put him in a long red dress and a red woman's hat and made him harvest vegetables in Sanctuary. Only time he ever made me smile.

The game is called shadows die twice because its so hard that even if you die once youre going to die again

drave 07-30-2021 08:46 AM

No lie there.


Started playing Ascent because i forgot it was out. It's like Diablo with guns kinda. Diggin the setting and the music is really good too. Hosted a multiplayer game till 1:30 but no one ever showed :(


Think I'm level 8 now.

M-A-G 07-30-2021 10:26 AM

OK, so I took an inventory of what I own in regards to games and I have a ridiculous list of titles that I either have started but haven't finished or haven't touched at all. What do you think I should tackle first:

Assassin's Creed 2 (still in the middle)
Doom Eternal (still in the middle)
Darksiders 2 (haven't started)
Bioshock Infinite (haven't started)
Murdered: Soul Suspect (still in the middle)
Remember Me (still in the middle)
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (still in the middle)
Metro: Last Light (still in the middle)
Marvel's Avengers (still in the middle)
Dead Space (still in the middle)
Dying Light (still in the middle)

I honestly wouldn't have even bothered with Dying Light because I hate open world games but it was a present so I feel like I have an obligation to it. I'm just pissed at myself for letting such a backlog pile up. :o

Fignuts 07-30-2021 03:40 PM

Doom Eternal, definitely.

Then the two dlc expansions. They're very good.

ClockShot 07-30-2021 04:36 PM

Creed 2 and Murdered: Soul Suspect are good starts.

Murdered is quick to finish. Whereas if you are an Assassins' Creed completionist, might take you a little longer.

DAMN iNATOR 07-30-2021 06:05 PM

Been rediscovering RDR in all it's glory via PS Now. It's been quite the trip down memory lane rembering all the NPCs, the story, strangers missions, locations and all of the cool side shit you can do.

Currently trying to get random blue dot ( 🔵 ) opportunities to present themselves as I'm going after max high or max low honor + max game trophy. I don't know if anyone will have the answer, is it possible to gain fame after the story, as John's son, Jack? I can't imagine it wouldn't be, but don't want to complete the story and lock myself out of a trophy.

Big Vic 08-02-2021 10:52 AM

Modded my Wii U and now playing Twilight Princess on it. Moving the N64 and Wii into the attic finally.

Sepholio 08-02-2021 09:41 PM

Switching between playing The Ascent with a friend and finally playing Cyberpunk. Wish Cyberpunk ran as well at launch on all the platforms as it does on PC now. I've only had a couple minor issues, like the damn sun when I get in a car being blinding and some minor clipping once in awhile.

OssMan 08-02-2021 09:43 PM

You didn't need to mod your Wii U to play Twilight Princess, there are 2 versions of it that will work on the Wii U

Fryza 08-03-2021 01:49 AM

Still Destiny, though really looking to pick back up into MHW if possible.

Yeah, if I'd like to go out and repurchase the game, dickhead.

Big Vic 08-03-2021 09:12 AM

Sorry that was mean of me.

drave 08-11-2021 09:19 AM

Had to take a break from Sekiro. Not enough time in my day to sit and "git gud" by playing over and over right now.
Stepped back into Diablo III for the time being. A friend of mine finally jumped in and the ethereal season has actually been really fun.




Diablo II Resurrected pre-order beta starts Friday :D

DAMN iNATOR 08-11-2021 08:25 PM

Just finished Silent Hill 2 via PS Now. Gonna give 3 a shot next.

which version do you have? Gamecube?

M-A-G 08-14-2021 09:58 AM

Fired up the Xbox One for the first time in over a year. Guess who had to sit through a long ass update?

I'm playing Death Stranding and it's one of the most cathartic games i've played ever. Balancing and walking with packages is amazing.



I also finished Spider-man and DLC. Came close to being one the of the best games i've played, but there were some serious writing errors.



SPOILER: show
At one point early in the game, Doc finds out that Peter is spiderman and makes him a new suit. Then at the end. Peter is shocked that Doc Oct knew who he was??? That bothered me.

M-A-G 08-15-2021 01:51 PM

Got my first Achievement since April of last year after getting re-acquainted with the Master Chief Collection. It's like riding a bicycle. :cool:

Also did a little bit of Sea of Thieves for the sake of one of my friends. I swear there's a laundry list of games I'd never touch if it weren't for other people I know.

Fignuts 08-21-2021 08:02 AM

Hades

The hype is well deserved. Excellent roguelite.

Same. I liked Sea of Thieves at launch for all of about a month. The sailing was kinda zen and I liked the aimless exploration. Of course, that all ended when I started running into other pirates. A lot. And this is one of those games that actively encourages you to be an asshole to strangers in ways that feel disrespectful of invested time. Not nearly as bad as Dark Zone in The Division, but still not really my thing. And I have a friend who will not and has not shut up about it. Especially now with the Pirates of the Caribbean stuff.

M-A-G 08-24-2021 08:48 AM

30 years since the Super Nintendo...feels like I should honor it by doing a marathon of some of my favorites.

drave 08-24-2021 08:52 AM

Wiping Torment XVI content in less than 5 mins with a crusader on Diablo III. Was going for a shotgun build, but ended up going with a dual Fist of the Heavens build, which is insane. Fucking item makes the damage 1,000x and casts twice. Literally saw a crit for over a trillion for the first time yesterday.

ClockShot 08-24-2021 09:20 AM

Still on Samurai Warriors 5. Getting close to where I'm about to put it down and take a break for a little while. Still a blast.

Thinking about grabbing the Iki Island DLC for Ghost of Tsushima and getting back into that.
