100% Ghost of Tsushima.

Fantastic. Has it's perks and flaws. And a few instances where I just had to scratch my head. But still a top notch game regardless. If Sucker Punch and Ubisoft's Assassins' Creed teams got put in a room, they can probably put together the perfect open world sneaky bastard stealth killing game.

ClockShot 08-04-2020 12:20 PM

Back to Bloodstained. Got the last of my shards this morning. Had to run the 8-bit Overlord like 4 times before he dropped his where as the asshole Master Carpenter took 1 visit.

Just a matter of filling out the item lists and getting my gold. Little by little I should have this done.

Frank Drebin 08-04-2020 12:55 PM

Trying to figure out what to play while I wait for Cyberpunk. Leaning towards either Sekuro or Tsushima. Anyone have a pref?

ClockShot 08-04-2020 01:08 PM

If you're a Souls guy, Sekiro is for you.

Assassins' Creed fan, Ghost of Tsushima.

About as simple a comparison as it gets.

El Vaquero de Infierno 08-05-2020 04:16 PM

I think I only have to defeat the Soul of Cinder now and I have completed Dark Soul 3's main quest.

I'm going to need a break for a while once that is done, but I definitely want to play the other games in the series.

screech 08-06-2020 10:24 AM

Found a game on steam called Neon Abyss and I'm really enjoying it. Run & gun through a big dungeon - each run is different. Some of the powerups are neat, love the music.

El Vaquero de Infierno 08-06-2020 01:36 PM

I have now finished the main quest of Dark Souls 3, and I need a breather from the game, even though it wants you to play again immediately and begin the torment once more.

I need to choose whether to play the first season of Hitman or Kingdom Come: Deliverance, both of which I bought during the recent Steam summer sale. I could also play Witcher 2, which I bought a couple of years ago, but for whatever reason I did not get past the tutorial stage.

Fignuts 08-06-2020 07:33 PM

I love the recent Hitman games. Probably better if you’re just taking a break from dark souls. Kingdom Come is a pretty big time sink.

I'll go with Figgy and start on Hitman.

teamXtremist 08-07-2020 09:56 PM

onestly, I think Wind Waker still looks brilliant on Gamecube. Probably wouldn't buy a Wii U just for Wind Waker HD though when Super Mario 3D World is also rumored to be part of this year's big Mario Switch release and you already have Bayonnetta 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Mario Kart 8, and just about every other top Wii U game other than Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch now. God, other than these Mario games 2020 looks like a ing wasteland for Nintendo. They didn't even show off last month when everyone else was doing their E3 equivalent presentations.

Destor 08-07-2020 10:21 PM

AC is on pace to be its top selling game and they will pass 3ds lifetime units by the end of the physical year (already passing the NES lifetime units this year as well)

Talking about new releases for the fall/winter not console sales

Destor 08-08-2020 01:10 AM

pikmin 3 is going to do pretty well in October and mario collection will sell big. shin megami tensai 3 remaster will clear a million units as well. no more heroes 3 looks to be out by year end.

Destor 08-08-2020 01:12 AM

also nintendo has been doing twitter announcements 6-8 weeks prior to launch (see: pikman/paper mario) theres tons of time for things we dont know about (even though they have plenty to finish the year on)

OssMan 08-09-2020 09:41 AM

Not sure what to play now. Was playing around with Dragon Quest XI and it was okay, hopefully it gets as good as people say it is. Roommate downloaded Skyrim and I hadn't touched an Elder Scrolls game since 2008. I'm like halfway through that Celeste game but it got kinda boring. I have a file in Deltarune that I might pick up, actually wanna replay Undertale and do pacifist run. I got that Disco Elysium game but it seems slow and my computer has started to suck when running games. Also I should go back to the new Wolfenstein game, I beat the first one. I gave up at the final boss of Mega Man 7 also... could go back. Maybe I'll get Luigi's Mansion 3 but I should stop getting new games. And I'd like to get through Final Fantasy 15 but ehhhh

Games I've beaten in 2020:

Luigi's Mansion
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
The Last of Us Part II
Death Stranding

Destor 08-09-2020 02:22 PM

cant wait for disco to hit consoles

ClockShot 08-10-2020 05:06 PM

Got the platinum for Bloodstained. It was a bitch to get. But it's behind me. If there's one thing I hate since gaming evolved to this it's finishing a game with a few achievements/trophies behind that's do-able and it's sitting there in your list starring at you saying "finish me".

I've got Sekiro giving me the evil eye in my library. But I'm tired of wielding a sword these last few weeks with Ghost of Tsushima and Bloodstained. Might download Sniper Elite 4 since it was a freebie. Also got Talos Principle on the cheap if I need a puzzler fix.

RP 08-11-2020 08:49 PM

Finally playing Mario Odyssey. Having a blast with it. Only to the Wooden Forest so far.

Fignuts 08-11-2020 10:54 PM

Odessey is one of those signature Nintendo games where it just consistently amazes me with its creativity and ingenuity from start to finish.

OssMan 08-13-2020 01:08 AM

Kept me playing for a while, though I did really start to feel like I was playing a kid's game. There are a few challenges towards the end but the difficulty was kinda artificial. Stilled loved it though

Ya so i was just in the wood forest and i jumped off a cliff on accident and thought i was dead, but apparently there was a forest underground with a huge T-Rex that whipped my ass ( not before i found a moon though ).

RP 08-13-2020 03:22 PM

I'm trying to figure out how to jump on my hat. I've seen some really sick Mario gameplay from this game where dudes are just jumping on there had nonstop.

Ya just figured that out on the basic actions page of the game.

Also i'm getting worried because I'm playing on a Switch Light and some of these commands are asking me to move my joycon.

road doggy dogg 08-13-2020 05:54 PM

Yeah I think there is like one or two moves you simply cannot pull off with a Switch Light or Pro Controller. I usually play docked with the Pro Controller and I can't recall a specific time where it's been a hindrance to me, but it's been a long time since I've played the game so my memory is fuzzy.

I couldn't stay away from Dark Souls 3 and started the second journey, but my character has so much big dick energy at the moment that the game is not a challenge.

ClockShot 08-14-2020 03:26 PM

Playing The Talos Principle.

No idea what's going on. But, it's a nice puzzler.

I'm playing 0 right now. Combat seems a bit repetitive, but there are a bunch of move unlocks so maybe it will get better as I level up. It's still fun, its just a bit shallow.

I really like the story so far. Some really good characters in there.

Final Fantasy 9 holds up like fuck.
Halo on PC feels foreign. Like i'm trying to learn to walk again. I know what I want to do but can't.

Just about to finish up my UFC EA Sports download for Xbox One. Pretty stoked for a good career run as myself. The gameplay seems possibly to be a bit worse than previous but I have only played like 7 matches. My skills from the previous have carried over pretty well which I appreciate.

road doggy dogg 08-17-2020 04:01 PM

So idk why but was craving playing some crappy rogue-like type games. Re-installed Rogue Legacy this weekend and have been having a ton of fun. Incidentally, Rogue Legacy 2 is out of Early Access and comes out tomorrow... cool

Guilty pleasure. Easy mechanics and scope for fantasy booking.

Curtis 08-20-2020 11:32 AM

Playing through Final Fantasy 15 which I bought years ago with my Xbox One.
Not really enjoying it, the open world doesnt work well in a final fantasy game or just hasn't been implemented well.
Also playing Amid Evil. Absolutely brilliant old school FPS, reminds me a lot of Quake and Heretic.

Fignuts 08-20-2020 05:03 PM

I didn't mind it, but I also went into it knowing that it wasn't a traditional open world and was more linear. I'd compare it more to traditional Legend of Zelda games, than true open world format.

I was more bothered by the character design. None of it was particularly interesting. Especially with the main playable characters. They threw black clothing on 4 achingly stereotypical anime tropes, and called it a day.

I still enjoyed the game overall though.

Probably my favorite soundtrack in an FF game since 8.

I just bought Diablo 3 on Switch. Guy at Gamestop told me it plays shockingly great. I probably got ripped. But i'm gonna play a bit. If anyone is playing, my Switch tag is, Shawnplex.

Fignuts 08-21-2020 07:38 PM

Nah Diablo 3 is great. And it’s not a graphics hog so it should run just fine on switch.

Fignuts 08-21-2020 07:39 PM

Here’s a really good site for character builds

That’s if you want to get into the endgame, beyond the story campaign.

Rule of Rose. I bought this game for $50 and it's worth $600 now, but I don't have it anymore so I'm playing on emulator. Broken ass game

road doggy dogg 08-22-2020 12:55 AM

Diablo III is actually a very very well done port on the Switch. I haven't sunk as much time in it as I have on PC but I absolutely feel like the game is done right on the console. Still fire it up every other Season or so. It plays really well.

Finished The Talos Principle. Gotta do a quick speed run a 2nd time to snatch a couple trophies I missed. One's a goof on my end. The other might be glitched unless I gotta do something different somewhere in the game.

If 'yall are looking for a puzzle game on the cheap, give this a go.

RP 08-25-2020 07:31 PM

Fun fact: it was the best scam going for caps in vanilla until they patched it and made it so that a) the caravan cap pool was separate and b) you could only play against an opponent so many times full stop. I used to buy shit from merchants, play them for all my money back, rinse and repeat when their stock/caps refreshed every three days I think it was. I was holding so much bank that I was even using old world currency as a lightweight placeholder (all things considered, it was kinda ironic) for more money. Beat the hell out of trying to sell a bunch of heavy crap and deal with encumbrance.

Good thing I'm replying to you specifically, Destor... looks like it's time for Wasteland 3. Popped up on the XBOX dash. I'm going to try to go see if I can land a physical copy somewhere like I did with 2.

Destor 09-01-2020 02:12 AM

itll be a bit before i get to it but im VERY hyped for it

Sepholio 09-01-2020 06:10 PM

Got through Yakuza 0 finally. Wasn't aware how long these games could be, especially when you dig into the business side stuff. Combat gets repetitive after awhile but it's fun so its ok. The story is pretty great though and I hope they all have this level of story telling because it had me hooked, especially the characters. Goro Majima ftw.

Onto Yakuza Kiwami now.

Finished the main portion of Talos Principle. Now working on the Road to Gehenna add-on. Shouldn't take me long and I'll notch another platinum.

Sekiro is still starring at me. But still don't want to pick up a sword again after Ghost of Tsushima. I see Dave played Phantom Pain. And I got that as a freebie. Might give it a whirl.

Yeah I'm liking it so far as well. Glad I played 0 first though since Kiwami has obvious callbacks to it now that I'm assuming weren't in the original. I've noticed the game is much more difficult than the 0 was as well, what with you being weak as shit at the beginning and all.

El Vaquero de Infierno 09-04-2020 04:35 AM

Steam has Turok 2 on sale at the moment; I'm wondering whether to indulge in a bit of nostalgia.

I completed the first episode (Paris fashion show) of season 1 Hitman, but I haven't played anymore since. I need to get back on it.

I've been hearing the call of Skyrim again lately, but I'm not prepared to drop everything else and be consumed by that beast for the next number of months.

Is the Switch that tough to port to that it has to be last to get these games? I wanted to buy PGA2k21 ( i'm not going to because of the reviews of performance ), but if you dont buy the digital, you have to wait until the 21st this month??? Is this because of the country? Whats going on here?
