@Bundersvessel Do not use the Upgrade option in the Blacksmith for your weapons. Just use the weapons that drop naturally from enemies and chests. Upgrading is only worth to bring a legendary weapon to your current level at the max level.
Upgrade your equipment when you can with animal goods.
Use the Reload current Quest/Mission option to farm animal lairs for upgrade materials.
The "new" zombies in the games now have the really sad attachment to them, and that trailer gives them more "lore". I hope it is damn good! It sure looks that way for now!
@old_gamer74 I think I was not clear (sorry about that), the Rest mode I was talking about is for the consoles, not resting in the game to change the time of day/pass time. I think that is unlocked when you beat the game (in unity).
With Unity you can't put your console in rest mode and wake it up later and continue playing. If you put the console in rest mode the game will prompt you to close it.
@old_gamer74 Just to warn you, there is one HUGE inconvenience in AC Unity ... there is not rest/sleep mode for this game. It is the only AC game that does not support the feature.
The reason behind it is that there is a feature in the game that earn you money every 20 minutes (real time) even if you have paused the game, you get to manage your own coffee shop/social club.
Other than that Paris is gorgeous! 3 weeks ago I was there and now it is so satisfying to climb the historical buildings that I saw IRL
Continuing with Assassin's Creed Unity as I am committed to finish the story. I am really enjoying the game. Currently on Sequence 7. Maybe next I will play Black Flag
On the side I will play some Guilty Gear and Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. And for nostalgia with really awkward controls WarCraft 2. There is something weird and satisfying in playing RTS games on consoles like WarCraft 2 and StarCraft 64!
@JamieO Tell me about it And this year I completed my Castlevania physical collection The only physical Castlevania I do not have is Judgement but that is understandable
Just before the big vacation I will treat myself with Quake, Soul Reaver 1 and Octopath Traveler 0.
Have a nice gaming weekend and we will probably "see" each other in 2026. Happy holidays people!!!

34 - Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (Switch)
35 - Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (Switch)
While waiting for my Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) to arrive next week I will be playing Project Warlock as it is really fun DooM style retro shooter with progression elements
On the side I will start The Last of Us Part I and play few skirmish matches in StarCraft 64.
@GirlVersusGame Yes those are steelbooks Castlevania Requiem (PS4) Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 Ultima Edition (PS5) The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Switch)
I have Boltgun but like most of my games it is in the backlog
After DooM (2016) next is DooM Eternal to be 100%ed
On the side I will have God of War and Ocarina of Time 3D.
And recently I got a really nostalgic game for me, that many people really hate. Spider-Man Return of the Sinister Six. I loved beating that game when I was a kid
I want everything that is made with AI help to have a banner like the cigarette boxes. That way the public will choose to support it or not BUT they must be aware that it was used.
Sacred 2 Remaster shipment was delayed so ... It is shooter weekend! After DooM 3 last week I am continuing with DooM 2016. I am aiming for 100%
On the side I have Wolfenstein Youngblood (even if I heard that it is a bad game) and Painkiller (the original, the good one, not that crap they released recently) on the Steam Deck!
Continuing with DooM 3 (because I rushed to finish Fallout 3 on the Steam Deck)! In the meantime I will play little Tormented Souls and God of War 1. I have to do it quickly because Sacred 2 Remaster is coming next week and it will CONSUME me!!!
I do not care about this, because the physical gaming market is polluting so little compared to other industries that it is not even close.
This guilt trip is not going to work
Also does this study considers the production of one game is up to a certain point and then it stops printing, while the digital game needs to be hosted/being on a server for way longer time.
@Rich33 But Resident Evil 2 Remake did not feel like a DLC. It was almost a perfect game. The A/B scenarios mistake was not such a big disaster. The game shined on its own.
RE3R on its own is just disappointing.
You can clearly see how rushed they were to release it. For me it is a standalone DLC
The only thing I find AI remotely useful at is making google searches BUT event then I find that it skips so much information.
I hope that AI becomes really expensive and companies take losses instead of profits.
I would LOVE to see a law that is passed worldwide that makes ANYTHING that is done with AI's help to have a disclaimer like cigarette boxes. That way people will know what to boycott and the companies will take even bigger losses.
This weekend I am playing Wolfenstein II The New Colossus. I just arrived in New Orleans
On the side I have Vigil The Longest Night and Heroes of Might and Magic The Olden Era (DEMO) on the Steam Deck. It is a really nice game for any HoMM fan!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 619
After the fantastic Season 2 of Fallout I got the urge to start Fallout New Vegas. This time on the Steam Deck! It plays like a dream!
I am near the end of Assassin's Creed Origins so I am continuing that. Just want to fully upgrade Bayek!
And finally got my hands on NeoGeo Collection Vol.9 JUST for Magician Lord! I LOVE that game!
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Launch-Aligned, Ghost of Yotei PS5 Is Selling Better Than Tsushima
@Oram77 I try not to think like that, because if a person wants, he can find justification for everything.
It is my fault to expect people HERE in this site and article to be mainly happy about the game itself.
Re: Launch-Aligned, Ghost of Yotei PS5 Is Selling Better Than Tsushima
@Oram77 I do not even know what you mean. I just do not like people who think they somehow have higher morals than others.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 618
I am juggling between Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and Assassin's Creed Origins, but this weekend I will play Origins, amazing game!
On the side I will play Machinarium which is a cute hand drawn point and click adventure game
AND I will be playing some Resident Evil 7 on the Meta Quest 3!
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 617
@Perturbator I can but I have some bug that does not let me export my layout as template.
Anyway I play the GOG version with the mod GOG Undying Renewed as it adds better resolutions, subtitles and more quality improvements.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 617
After beating Assassins Creed Unity I am now on Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Still in Havana so pretty early in the game
I finished making the controls for Clive Barker's Undying for the Steam Deck. That is one of the best games ever created! Amazing atmosphere!
And why not some Ninja Turtles
Happy gaming everyone!!!

After finishing Castlevania Lords of Shadow I am moving to Castlevania LoS Mirror of Fate HD. I really love this game!
This holiday I went to Paris and because of that I have this desire to play Assassin's Creed Unity
And last I will try out Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
Happy gaming everyone!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 614
To start the year I am playing Castlevania Lords of Shadow on the Steam Deck (because the Xbox is just trash for taking screenshots).
I am on Chapter 2 in Red Dead Redemption 2 and it is a good game but the controls are just terrible.
And I am continuing with Quake on the Switch as I am on Act/Chapter 3 of the main game
Happy gaming everyone!!!

With the arrival of the Castlevania Dominus Collection for the Switch I am once again deep in the trilogy!
This week I already 100%ed Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and now I am on Portrait of Ruin.
No matter how many times I play those game they never get old to me
And on the side if time permits (I REALLY doubt that) I will play Space Marine 2 and Shadowgate Classic
Happy gaming everyone!!!

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Switch)
I have Boltgun but like most of my games it is in the backlog
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 609
I am playing Symphony of the Night ... again. It never gets old! Masterpiece!
And something new for me, Space Marine 2, although I have never played 1 or any Warhammer game before. The game looks amazing and filled with lore!
On the side I will play Skyward Sword
Happy gaming!

It is a good console but it is because I have the original Phat Model. You know the one with the built in drive
Also because of the "5 on the five" it sounds like:

Re: Ubisoft Is All In on Generative AI, Says It's as Big a Leap in Tech as the 'Shift to 3D'

@JamieO I got all of the DooM games except for DooM The Dark Ages and I think you know why
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607

@KingPev I play GOG games on my Steam Deck. And Painkiller needs a Launch Option in its Properties menu:
"PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 %command%"
That way it will be in full screen mode
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
@KingPev It is a flashy "modern" shooter with zero identity.
And let's not forget that if you buy the physical version, you cant even play it without online authenticating it first.
The old one (Painkiller Black Edition) + Overdose are peak!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607

Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Surpass 3.3 Million Units, Crush Boycott Nonsense

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 606
Continuing with DooM 3 (because I rushed to finish Fallout 3 on the Steam Deck)!
In the meantime I will play little Tormented Souls and God of War 1.
I have to do it quickly because Sacred 2 Remaster is coming next week and it will CONSUME me!!!

Spider-Man can't work without New York. But they can expand it by adding more. Like they expanded outside of Manhattan.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605

Re: 'Even I Can't Tell the Difference': Shuhei Yoshida Thinks PS6 Needs Something Other Than Just More Power
@Czar_Khastik Unfortunately that needs competent developers.
Currently in the industry there is severe lack of such devs. Their main goal is "Minimum effort for maximum profit".
