@themaladroit any suggestions on not sucking at Risk of Rain 2? I play old-school fps and a lot of twitch-reflex games, but I can't seem to git gud with RoR2. I want to because it feels great. Feel like I am missing something.
Blood: Refreshed Supply, Prime 4, and System Shock 2 remaster. I am very thankful for Nightdive. My youngest is getting really into Turok 2 and Blood because of them, and it is great. I can't wait to see him get into Quake and Doom. Fun stuff.
Happy holidays to those who do that. Hope you play some gems.
I would prefer something sci-fi or post-apocalyptic, but I am very happy for Larian. They get to take time and be creative. Probably pretty much with a blank check. It's nice when nice things happen.
It looks like the shooting feels good but yeah hero shooter. Its online only, I am sure, and hero shooter "roles" just seem to be like taking a fun arsenal of weapons and abilities and spreading it thin. I like my characters to have more than one weapon and ability, I dunno.
I didnt see Evanescence, but I thought the orchestral stuff was incredible. I honestly thought it was a lot of fun. I am guessing Sandfall has a blank check after doing so well. That's exciting.
I figured they were going for something a little more subversive than the third rebrand of Divinity. Especially after saying they wanted to do something new and less restrictive than D&D. I am sure it will be incredible, I am just burned out on elves and dwarfs and wizards, etc.
That would be swell, but I'd be much more into something sci-fi or post-apocalyptic. Its gotten difficult for me to get down with high fantasy, for whatever reason. Also, with post-apocalyptic, I dont have to deal with people, like, existing at me. Which is nice.
As the biggest fan of handhelds (seriously...it is a problem...), this would be how they get me excited for a new console. I just hope their hubris hasn't rendered them incapable of learning from the PS5. I love my PS5, but they really need to focus more on single-player exclusives and weird stuff from Japan. They are not going to rebrand to this multi-player meta verse of IPs, at least not in my head.
I get depressed thinking of sixth and seventh gen consoles. They really competed with each other back then. I would like more of that, please.
I might reinstall to see if it clicks in third-person. I really, really disliked the stealth in the base game. It does the thing where the entire military knows your location as soon as you are spotted.
Brain Damage on Switch has a bug where the character won't stop moving. I just checked last week and its still happening. I really wanted to play that dumb thing too.
Some Ghost of Tsushima and maybe Link's Awakening DX. Its one of my favorite games, and I dislike the remake, so it should be a comfy time. Maybe some Streets of Rage Remake and Tomb Raider?
@LifeGirl The single biggest selling point for MGS V, imo, was that the game was missing chapters. I haven't really cared to pay attention to the narrative since MGS3.
This thing looked like some vehicle for NFTs, with all the talk of owning art in the game, etc. If that were true, it would at least partially explain the delay.
@RoomWithaMoose my favorite thing about this game's haters is that they turned into Sweet Baby Inc, twisting themselves into pretzels to get offended by architecture.

Re: The Game Awards Keeps On Getting More and More Popular
@ShadowRJ I watch them every year. I am still an enthusiast.
Re: The Game Awards Keeps On Getting More and More Popular
@Jireland92 then I guess we can put your thought experiment to rest.

@Jireland92 there are other award ceremonies out there.

Re: This Is the New Voice of Lara Croft in the PS5 Era of Tomb Raider Games
@lazarus11 I didn't realize you were a womanologist. I was more a womanizer, personally.
Re: This Is the New Voice of Lara Croft in the PS5 Era of Tomb Raider Games
I love the series, so Im excited. Playing that first game with those beautiful graphics is going to be a treat.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for December 2025?
I might check out Mirage. I dig that it has supernatural abilities. AC would be so much cooler if it dropped historical settings, imo. Irl is dumb.

RADICAL!

I didnt see that Doom won an award. Rad.

@tangyzesty I bet the Venn diagram of KCD fans and Tool fans is just a circle.

Looking forward to grabbing this when the goty edition hits, hopefully.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2025?
@lazarus11 have you seen the year they had Joe McHale and Loiter Squad? It's impossible to get through.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at The Game Awards 2025?
That TR remake looks gorgeous.

Re: Open World RPG Shooter No Law Announced for PS5
The Ascent is awesome so I'm looking forward to this. I thought this was more an immersive sim, but open world rpg is good too.
Re: 007 First Light Unveils Lenny Kravitz as a Villain in New Trailer
@aj21009 yeah Lenny Kravitz is often flat...
Re: 007 First Light Unveils Lenny Kravitz as a Villain in New Trailer
Lenny Kravitz sounds like Good Value Jimmy Hendrix. Even his name does.
...wait did he change his name so it sounds similar to Jimmy Hendrix?
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Announces New Divinity RPG, Its 'Biggest Game Ever'
@StitchJones seems like a well-informed take

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Cyberpunk 2077, 5 Years Later?
I usually can't stand procedural rubbish, but infinite Judy dates would be something I could go for.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 610
@StitchJones I had to play the HM games and see how they feel before I got into them. Some of my favorites.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 610
Prime 4 and Blood.
Re: Preview: Avatar PS5 Is Transformed in Third-Person, Expanded in From the Ashes DLC
@Matthewnh lol, that isn't my complaint, but yeah. I hate the hivemind ai in any stealth game.
Re: Preview: Avatar PS5 Is Transformed in Third-Person, Expanded in From the Ashes DLC
I might reinstall to see if it clicks in third-person. I really, really disliked the stealth in the base game. It does the thing where the entire military knows your location as soon as you are spotted.
Re: AI Accusations Have Killed a PS5, PS4 Game Just Two Days After Announcement
Brain Damage on Switch has a bug where the character won't stop moving. I just checked last week and its still happening. I really wanted to play that dumb thing too.
Re: Splitgate 2 Is Being Renamed as Well as Relaunched, Arrives Later This Month on PS5, PS4
@Attheendwearrive that was so tacky. They are better than they've ever been. Blood just came to consoles with 8 player split-screen. What a world.
Re: The Game Awards Hype Video Is a Nice Reminder It Isn't All About the Trailers
Prime 4 and Blood are out. I guess other games still exist.
Really though, I am looking forward to this show. Its fun commeting with other people.
Re: Cryptic Game Awards Statue Teaser Reportedly Not Related to Diablo 4, Elder Scrolls 6

Re: Geoff Keighley's Cryptic Post Has Fans Speculating Wildly About The Game Awards Announcement
I dont care how corporate and awkward it all is, I like game announcements. It reminds me of when things weren't so cynical.

Re: Video: All the PS5 Games We Think Are 10/10
Death Stranding is so far gone from what I enjoy, it makes me look at this list a little sideways.

Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta Producer Is Hoping to Remake MGS4, Rescuing It from PS3 Jail
But that entire film is already on YouTube???
Re: SEGA Actually Admits Persona 5 Royal-Style Re-Releases May Result in Stunted Game Sales
Yup. I haven't bought Metaphor for this exact reason. After SMT V, I am not buying another Atlus RPG at launch.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.1.6 Out Now on PS5, But the Cool Attack on Titan Armour Is Paid DLC
This game just seemed bloated and messy after Tsushima.
