@somnambulance Samesies. I’ll wait until I see one for 150. Or until someone gets hard up for cash and throws it on Mercari for 125

@thebizniznizbiz Nobody cares what you think dude. But by all means, keep this going.

@wildcat_kickz do you, bro. Still doesn’t make it a legit full release

@wildcat_kickz No platinum, as it’s essentially DLC for MW2 that was rolled over into a full release because greed.

This is known.

@bobbycracky Ooookay. Now I remember why I don’t comment here often

@Olmaz not sure what conversation you’re trying to have. Your initial post called it a terrible month and really scraping the bottom of the barrel. And I’d have to argue against what is probably an insane backlog. Mafia 2 and Fireteam Elite are good solid mid-range games. Not sure about DBZ The Breakers, but it seems like a run-of-the-mill asymmetrical hide-and-seek.
Mid month, for sure. Terrible? Bottom of the barrel? That’s hyperbole at best.

Now, if you’re taking the price increase into consideration, I can see your point. But you went in on age and what you deem to be lesser quality. Sure Mafia 2 shows its age - but it’s still a good story and is worthy of a playthrough. Fireteam Elite is good mindless fun (it was on Xbox anyway).

Probably not what we should expect from a higher-costing Plus Essential…but still good games in their own right.

@Olmaz what exactly do you expect for your monthly essential games?

And I hardly need to sell you on an opinion, especially since you e made your mind up already

DetFaninAtl is gonna be all over this

@Olmaz both are pretty good games. Not even remotely bottom of the barrel titles.

Not getting into any competitive mp shooters until XDefiant releases. If the kiddo wants MW3 though he is more than welcome to it

I never finished the first one! I probably should, as it’s a the closest I’ll get to playing a Stephen King video game

@thebizniznizbiz LMAOOOOO

Ok guy on the internet, I’ll do as you say bc you say so

Don’t forget to throw your cape on

20 hours to beat the story in full is a selling point for me

@Lyedecker I let the girl die in my play through. She deserved it

I’ll be spending some time in the GameStop subreddit trolling GS employees. Seriously, you guys should see some of the ignorant stuff they complain about, such as being pissed off at customers that bring in consoles for trade “too late” I.e. 15-30 minutes before closing. They feel that customers should “know better”, that they shouldn’t be expected to offer all the services and products their place of employment offers during business hours. They get so triggered. It’s epic.

Other than that I really need to get back on some games. Baldurs Gate 3 feels like a daunting task to continue at the moment, so I’m thinking I’ll finally start Resi 4 remake. It’s spooky season, after all.

I want to pull the trigger on this one but I was reminded that the MGS Collection is coming this next week. And then there’s Lords of the Fallen I wanna play too.
And I still haven’t finished BG3. Come to think of it I haven’t played any video games in almost 3 weeks. Been focusing on not smoking, seems like reading is all I want to do lately.

I haven’t played any of the older MGS games, so I’m kinda pumped for this

@Northern_munkey I like them all.

That’s a problem 😊

@Northern_munkey is it worth full price in your opinion? Debating whether to get this one or Spider Ham 2

@KennethKoerperich88 ty for this, saved me from re-downloading this dross

@Northern_munkey what’s the difficulty like on Lords of the Fallen? I remember liking the first one well enough until I came up against a boss that spawned two minions off of it and did these insane AoE attacks
.
I couldn’t beat it after multiple tries and gave up.

@GloriosaDaisy keep telling yourself that

@DETfaninATL so you recommend for 20 then? Reviews are only thing keeping me from picking it up

@Matroska game is awesome. I bought the whole shebang for 60 USD and don’t regret a thing.

Most of the reviews agree w this one. Shame - Big Red deserves a good game attached to him.

There’s barely enough juice in the controller to get a few solid hours of playtime

Haven’t played anything in like 2 weeks; I quit smoking recently and it’s been a battle.
Maybe I’ll play some RE4, or continue my playthrough of BG3

@OldGamer999 this. I love digital media as well.

Glad I have an Xbox and a PlayStation. And a Switch, though I have t played it in like 2 years

@AndyKazama this is the best answer.

20 dollars = makes me holler.

This Honky is not playing any Honkai.

@Enigk fair point. But I doubt it: XDefiant feels really, really good to play.

I haven’t yet played part 2. I need to do that.

@rusty82 agreed on all fronts, though I haven’t seen the film adaptations..I looked a few scenes up on YouTube and immediately thought “Nope.” Just like with Game Of Thrones, the characters exist more perfectly in my imagination than on the screen.
Not sure why they felt they needed to make the vampire blue lmao. Barlow already looks creepy af as he’s described in the book.

I’m really hoping Pet Sematary is tops as well. I read the foreword King wrote and then the first three chapters and it’s downright creepy thus far. I like how dissimilar Creed is to Mears

I finished up reading Salems Lot and am moving on to Pet Sematary. Not gaming related, but worthy mentions all the same. Also still playing Baldurs Gate 3….just finished Shadowhearts companion quest

Wooooooo yeah! Glad I didn’t pay for Callisto Protocol

@Northern_munkey that’s exactly the face I made when I happened upon them. And then I tried to use my Bard influence to tell them go ahead, don’t let us stop you.

But the ogre said the passion was all gone lmao

@Fiendish-Beaver I’m right there with you on this. I haven’t felt this strongly about a game since Witcher 3. I think BG3 easily takes the top spot now for my top rpg.
Also thinking about how I’ll play on future runs. I’ve heard/read somewhere that the first play though of this game is kind of a tutorial for all subsequent playthroughs. I chose a bard kinda for laughs and I’m actually really happy with how he’s turned out

I played for 11 hours yesterday. I’m really happy my wife was out of town for that.

So much BG3.

Walked in (well, lockpicked my way in) on a goblin screwing an ogre from behind.

This games got it all

Looking for a cheap physical copy right now, definitely wanna see how this looks on ps5

I took the plunge and started Baldurs Gate 3. Played for like 11 hours.
Yesterday 😊

Can’t wait for this shift to wrap up so I can go home and continue on my Universal Monsters binge and play a couple more hours of BG3.

Good selection, I just don’t have time to play them rn.

That being said, I really seriously doubt I’ll be buying anything more than the basic Plus tier when my year runs out in November. I’ve streamed nothing

Capcom…..SO HOT right now.

They’ll get it worked out. This is the only fps I’m pumped for this year

I went to Halloween Horror Nights last night (Xpress Pass is the only way) and had a blast; still recovering from it. Bought BG3 but not sure if I’m gonna dive right in, as I’m still really early in my Divinity Original Sin. I thought initially that the non-linearity if it would be difficult for me, since I’m honestly quite used to handholding in most of the RPGs I’ve played. This Larian stuff though is a breath of fresh air, and it feels super good to just head out into the fog and (with the help of regular saves) discover, fight and at times fail spectacularly.
Failure in this sort of game is a good teacher for me, it opens my mind up to different possibilities and ways of play. I’m generally not very creative…so this is kinda addictive and new to me

Loving it!

Also might grab Disco Elysium bc why the hell not.

@Fiendish-Beaver I haven’t yet played the 2nd one but I’m really enjoying the first one

If I’m having a blast in Divinity will this be right up my alley?

And is the 80 dollar version the only one available for ps5?

Divinity: Original Sin. Good times 👍

I had no idea this existed until right now.
