I got sidetracked with Ragebound and Shinobi but I'll be back at it later tonight.
I have zero complaints so far. The world is much more well-realized than something like Outlaws, for instance.

Sounds silly, I am sure, but waiting til night might sell me on this game. I need to watch a YouTube video to see if actually is dark though. Dragon's Dogma and Tainted Grail are some of the few games that get that right...
Anyway, I'm a scoundrel in sneaky games. I want it to be dark.
Also the sun needs to shut up anyway. Too damned bright.

@Rich33 It's installing so I'll see how it runs. I know it won't be a locked 60.

@Rich33 The first big city made me super nauseous. I don't have motion sickness issues, I read on the train, etc.
I am reinstalling and my save is at that location so I'll report back. It's an incredible game. I just can't take the nausea.

It's when Sony was cool with being weird. I miss that. They're boring now.

Guess I will need to reinstall and see if the framerate still makes me nauseous.

I'm enjoying it, but I am taking things very slowly. It's such a cool world. I just want to hang out there as long as I can.

Crazy year for us 16-32 bit fans.

Welp, that's disheartening. Delta seems like Subsistence put through the same sterilization filter as the recent Disney remakes...

From a guy who balked at the idea of blind packs and kids buying the same game every release when I was a kid, and who laughs at gross adults fighting at Pokemon vending machines...sure is funny how people use the language of addiction when talking Pokemon. "Scratch the itch," it'll get you through, you're not high you're just "not sick."

@Zeke68 My drive broke about two months after getting a launch console, and it still is. Damn it.

It's kind of of sad that the thing I'm most interested in is backwards compatibility. That will make two consoles in a row.
This gen IS going to end up pretty unremarkable, huh?

If it's a ftp online thing, I'm not interested. That's the part I would need them to change.

This game should've been a lay up.

@JVCIOM70 Can you ride a saber tooth while impaling cavemen to trees with giant spears in KCD? No. No you can not.
Primal is the definition of a dumb fun game. I loved it.

Silksong, Silksong, and Silksong.
...and I will supplement with Outlaws because people keep saying it's gotten much better since launch and I like a good auto-pilot game when I'm way into something challenging.

As a fan of MGS 3: Subsistence, I don't think Delta got it right. There's a griminess to MGS 3 that Delta seems to sterilize. I'll pick it up on sale. Shinobi is more my speed. Lizard Cube has managed to absolutely nail two impossible tasks, imo, with remaking SoR and Shinobi.
But oh look there's Silksong byeeeeee

Spoilers, "sales did not meet our expectations."

There is a way to bring the mechanics closer to parity with HK. Including the pogo.

Remember DQXII? I'm playing through VIII on the Retroid (PS2) at the moment. It's so damned good.
Anyway, gimme XII news!

The quirk runneth over. No thanks. Looks like a very special game that needs everyone to know how special it is.

I started DQVIII on PS2, and am still mopping up in Shinobi, so not rn. Silksong will only get better, anyway. The haters are funny on this one. Predictable.

@Bluemoon2008 the bulletproof thing has always been my problem w the Bond series. He just always gets out unscathed in the films I've seen.

Looks like a whole lot of "You are leaving the mission area," to me.

@AdamNovice That would make sense, wouldn't it?

@MFTWrecks Yup. They have id, so I'm just waiting for the news.

@JackiePriest Um, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, duh?

It's been a few years now that I just don't believe XBOX when they say a game is releasing.
I wonder how many people at XBOX curse the name of Don Mattrick.

Lol.No. No I could not be persuaded to watch a Call of Duty movie. The last CoD I played was BLOPS 2, and that was practically a movie already. Walk forward, shoot the bad guys standing mid screen, cutscene, walk forward, cutscene, shoot the bad guys standing in the middle of the screen, cutscene.
Trash. And that was supposed to be a good one, lol.

Yeah no I'm good.

The game being comparatively light on story is a big plus for me. Always been my biggest issue w the series. It's the MGS that plays well, so it's my fave.

I appreciated him having GWAR on recently. He needs to shave the head. Dream's over, man.

@doctommaso Big time. It's sad, to me. XBOX is nothing like it was. I will always miss sixth and seventh gen.

@TruthSpiller2025 Whoa the guy who is only hyped about CoD and Fifa and who said turn-based games should've died with PS2 isn't looking forward to Silksong, guys. Everyone cancel your preorders. He hath spoken, lol.

Shinobi! It's awesome.

@HallowMoonshadow Same.

Gotta get through Shinobi first, but I'm sure $20 is a great deal considering how much game Hollow Knight was. I felt like I stole that game, but I've made up for it by getting it on like five platforms.
Can't wait.

The Mediocre White Dude camo is the sneakiest camo of all...

Can't tell if embarrassing or charming...

Maybe if they fix the performance.

Excited for this one to make me feel real old, lol.

I'm looking forward to getting lost in this one. I don't do a lot of these big AAA games. I spent almost 120 hours w Doom just recently, so I'm glad to have another giant game to look forward to.

I am all for a handheld. I play almost exclusively on my Switch and Retroid, as the latter can stream PS4 and 5. I get that a lot of people prefer the big home theater experience, I just zone out of reality better w a handheld and some decent headphones.
I will usually try a game on my TV first just to get that experience when it's a big AAA game. It's like back in the day I'd always play SP before trying split-screen so I could see the game's actual fidelity first.

LEGO DC Villains was the better Suicide Squad game, and this looks pretty damned rad too.

Im excited for it. I enjoyed the first way more than recent fallout bs..

I want to give this game a shot, but I wonder does the game have actual quests or is it all "what you make it?" I probably won't obsess over trading or building or mining, etc. I need a good reason to do stuff like that in my games. So are there interesting quests and stories or is it all emergent?

@Pat_trick the protagonist named "Fire," lol.

As far as I'm concerned, the damage is done. I have zero faith they won't wall something else off to make up for their perceived losses. To me, it seems they were already on their back foot and should have tried their best to win back some trust from the audience. They're treating this like some Star Wars release. As if Vampire the Masquerade has tens of millions of fans that will just buy anything, no matter what. There's probably a good number of cosplayers and frequent con attendees for which that may be the case...but this is not Pokemon. I'm willing to bet that most Vampire the Masquerade fans are following this game pretty closely, whether they are way into videogames or not.
Just stupid decisions all over with this one.
I hope it's great. It's all uphill from here...

@Northern_munkey Then it's a most likely a you problem, ya know? Nostalgia making current games look worse. I could suggest things all day that would otherwise fill those blanks but you'd probably just say "I played it/saw a video/read an article, it's not for me."
Super Wooden 2 is very good.
