@TheDudeElDuderino then that is good news for me. I played yesterday just bugs, and I prefer the coyote for bots. Will try it later, after the mayor order is finished. Will also have to look through the enemies updates on the patch notes, will be interesting.

@TheDudeElDuderino the patch hit us and it seems to be fixing a lot of technical issues (but not all). we held yesterday a 3-hour run with my friend and at least for him it didnt crash so its a positive. I didnt go into the balance details but I heard that they nerfed incendiary weapons which is a bum (started to like the coyote a bit much).

I assume this is not a problem for consoles but currently the PC version is quite broken. Many people are having hard locks on their PCs and nobody knows why (my friend who I onboarded into it is crashing every day, I have no issues on a similar rig). It seems that they are delivering a patch within a week so lets see. High hopes on that patch so we can resume playing together (awesome game btw).

onboarded my friend to Helldiver 2, and we have been playing this daily for a time. this weekend itll be that and maybe starting Far Cry 4.

Personally I am waiting for the Switch 2 OLED version to buy it. There are no console sellers right now for me, and my Switch backlog is large. I am curious how it will go, since it looks to me that the NSW2 is to the NSW like the PS5 was to the PS4.

almost at the end of Far Cry 3, otherwise the usual: Helldivers 2 and Vermintide 2

Farcy 3, and in between Helldivers 2 and Vermintide 2.

from what I read the PC optimization is really poor, hence the recent negative steam reviews. Ive been playing Wilds on PC with a friend only because our HW is high enough to force high fps at high resolutions. Hard to tell if this game with its engine can be improved (from what I heard it cannot).
regarding the content, I have another friend who has played all MH games and he is complaining a lot about the lack of content on Wilds, and this update might not fix those complains.

finished Pirate Warriors 4 on Switch, loved it but without any trophies I kinda gave up on 100% it. Would love to play the DLCs but dont want to get them on Switch and dont want to play it again on PS. Hope they release someday Pirate Warriors 5.

the trailers looked awesome, I am wondering how the final product will look like. will wait for user reviews and then see, these type of games play better for me on mouse and keyboard so Steam is the way.

Based on recommendations I got Helldivers 2 on Steam and I am enjoying it quite a lot. Sometimes I still have no idea what am I doing and still playing solo until I learn it properly but it’s great.

Good for console only ppl, any info about the resolution at those high FPS? Raytracing on or off?

I cannot recommend The House in Fata Morgana enough, great VN. Affordable on Steam and Switch.

@Shepherd_Tallon thanks for the detailed info, mate. Currently on sale in Steam so I’ll get it and try, cheers

Offtopic: is it a good time to jump into the game? Always interested me but I don’t like playing shooters (even 3rd person) on gamepad and my old PC didnt meet the min. requirements.

@OldGamer999 I’m with you on this one, wondering why neither Sony not MS is choosing nVidia. It’s been a long time sinxe AMD had a competitive high end GPU, why not wanting the best GPU for your (best) console?
If by the time the next gen consoles are released and both will use the same AMD HW, I guess it will be again who has the better exclusives/system sellers (unless Ms decides to go with a way cheaper HW).

Agree with the statement, “for free” is a good game with a nice campaign and good gameplay. I haven’t missed any season yet and are eager to start the new season in July (late July due to summer vacation), but completely understand people that don’t want to sink 70+h in every season (I do and have fun doing it)

@Dudditz09 I feel you, have 5 games in the cart, some all time lows in this Steam summer sales, cannot decide if I should take all.

Is this a US/UK only thing? I have ps+ with a SK shop but didnt receive anything (yet).

I might be one of the last people enjoying D4 and playing every season. I will not recommend buying D4, for many reasons, but if you have PS plus for sure give it a try. At least the story campaign is good enough.
PS: anybody knows if I get thr ps+ version and login with my battle net user, can I continue with my progress from battle net?

Wanted to properly start Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam but will wait for the announced latch. So I guess itll be Monster Hunter Wilds and finish Fire Emblem Warriors on Switch this weekend.

great timing, I only created my char, so I can wait now till the update goes live.

The guy will do everything but finish The Winds of Winter, sigh.

Stellar Blade was my personal GotY, so I am glad my best friend will be able yo enjoy the game on Steam. The additions are great but I hope the team is already working on a sequel or a similar game.

I watched that Bungie stream; out of synch sound, listening to people chewing and drinking in the background, one of the guys looking extremely pissed the whole time… it was really bad, and people are now mocking them even more before the obvious art plagiarism (4th time in Bungie recent history as far as I know).

Almost finished with D4 S8 (two armor unlock missing), and either will continue with Monster Hunter Wilds or I will start Cyberpunk 2077 (which I bought yesterday).

@themightyant The House in Fata Morgana is 100% VN, besides reading and taking decisions (very small amount, if I remember less than 10?) there is nothing else (no combo VN - other genre). But the story is great, fantastic music and good visuals. No voice over besides laughs or screams depending on the script.
If you dont mind a 100% visual novel then for sure go for it, one of the best VN I've ever played.

I am not an indie fan, but if you folks like VN then House in Fata Morgana is a must, I played it on switch unlocking everything, and the story was great, visuals were amazing and even the music was perfect.

This looks great, any news if this will be a F2P gacha or single/coop player? the former will please my daughter, the later me

Havent played any GTA since GTA2 (which I played on release) but heard lots of good things about GTA4. Would be interested in an enhanced port on modern consoles/PC for sure.

I might be the extreme minority, but I would love a Fallout 1 and Fallout remaster, with the original turn-based combat. Who knows, with the good performance of Expedition 33 maybe publishers will want to go back to turn-based combat (solo or party style)

I have AoE2 DE on steam with most of the DLCs but for sure are not aiming for the achievements, they are just too many.
On a side note: how does an RTS play on a gamepad? as somebody who was raised on RTS on PC I cannot imagine using a gamepad to micro/macro manage during a mission, even worse on a PvP match.

Paused playing Monster Hunter Wilds and started D4 season 8. Hopefully can get it done in two-three weeks max to resume MHW.

@Godot25 I meant I am glad I got it already, since the consoles prices hikes might lead to PC components prices hikes as well. And yes, high end PCs are quite expensive, but seeing how expensive are getting consoles then the difference is getting narrower.

Seeing these price hikes I am so glad I invested into my new PC rig. Will get the Switch 2 this summer, but it passed from a day-one but to a later day buy. No reason for me to get a pro, but I am just wondering what will the prices be of the rumored new Xbox (to be released next year) or the eventually PS6 (or even the rumored portable PS)...

If SE releases a FF game with old-school turn-based combat with ATB and a good combat system, it will be a day-one purchase for me. I was raised by these games and would love to see a comeback. If they decide to include "real-time" activities like dodge/parry then do it, it seems it works nice in Clair.

started playing since it was a PS Plus game and was looking forward it, but this looks more like a mouse and keyboard game to me. I am tempting on getting this on Steam, would be better for my habit I would say. But looking forward the expansion, the time I played the game was fun.

@ShogunRok to be honest I would prefer a proper Berserk anime than a game. The 90’s animation without blood and a bit toned down was okay and the disaster cgi anime from a few years ago was terrible. Would love a 1:1 manga:anime berserk with the animation of the Golden age movies.

yeah I was disappointed when I read the blog about that. While I love Berserk and the armors look perfect, I am not paying 2000+ platinum (which armor normally costs) for one set. Will try to unlock the "free" ones at least.

I am a huge mecha anime fan, one of the first I’ve ever watched was Macross in the late 80’s. Got recently Super Robot Wars 30 on Steam, will pick this one but a bit later.

The trailer looked great, cannot wait to play it on my new rig. I loved both the reboots and even liked the “higher” difficulty of Eternal, although they could cut the platforming.

@Shepherd_Tallon unfortunately, I believe if they release Berserk inspired armour, it might be on the shop (paying platinum). Crossing fingers for some free unlockable stuff

I am still playing every season of D4, and as a huge Berserk fan (got all mangas, watched both anime versions), I am more than curious about what this cooperation will be about.

this will be great if true. would love to have a portable device running games directly instead of streaming. of course lower resolution is okay due to a smaller screen. the only thing I am afraid is, since the reveal of the Switch 2 price, that this possible new PS portable could be way too expensive. Lets see if true and then we might talk.

never played an extraction shooter and from the gameplay videos of some of the most popular, it doesnt seem like my type of game. wish this game success, since it might bring the money Sony needs for more SP games, although many people comparing the chara design to Concord is not the best.

I dropped The Outer World approx 2/3 into the story, I just got bored, I had the impression that after the first third, everything else was more of the same (not in a good way). Lets see how the sequel plays.

I might be one of the last still playing D4 but to be honest I still enjoy engaging in their seasons. Doesnt take too much to complete the Journey and I kinda like the gameplay (also I can play it while watching something on the TV).
The first expansion was a bit of disappointment, short and personally didnt like the new class (reminded me too much of the Monk of D3). Waiting for the second expansion until 2026... Blizz might loose most of their playerbase by then.

i was ready to preorder the switch 2 but there is no reason after this direct, if I got it correctly:

• 469€ base price, increase from 329€, that is a 42,5% price increase if the math is correct.
• only one Nintendo 1st party game on release, Mario Kart, physical game price 90€ (from what I read, no confirmation yet), which is a 50% price increase
• lots of multiplatform games that, unless you are a nintendo only gamer, most people already have or have on a "better" system
  I will get the Switch 2 but earliest on Christmas, so far only three games are interesting for me.

@KawakiisaFraud to be honest Nintendo fans do not expect PS5 level specs, I consider myself a Nintendo "fanboy" (I still have my original SNES from the early 90s) but I expect just better Nintendo games (for multiplatform I have PS5 and a newly upgraded PC).
On another note, while it is understandable that there will not be an OLED version on release (if I remember correctly the OLED switch was released more than three years after the OG), it is a bit of a shame, have both and love the OLED screen.

In regards the specs, there were "leaks" that the Switch 2 will have some version of nVidia DLSS, the leaks telling us that Nintendo showcased Breath of the Wild on upscaled 4k at 60fps on the Switch 2. In this regard I am very curious about that.
Personally I would love to finally have trophies/achievements support, that is a thing I find stopping myself from 100% games on Switch.
On a last note, another leak states that pre-orders will go live right after the direct and my wallet is already ready for that (expecting a price upto 500€).
