First 5-10 games I think are primarily made up of bots.

Makes sense - I am not good at shooters.

Yeah, from what I understand, it’s lots of bots early on. In my first win, I had 11 kills and IIRC correctly, when watching the replay, I determined 6-7 were bots (I had to do a little research to understand how to spot one - it’s much more obvious in build mode versus non-build).

Ever wondered what the world would look like if Italy had never joined up with Germany before WWII? Well now you don’t have to!

IGN Japan had a huge leak of Tears of the Kingdom stuff, so you may want to stay off the internet for a couple weeks.

I’m the exact opposite… BOTW felt like a chore to me. Wasn’t even planning to pick this one up, but TBD I guess. I just don’t have the consistent time and energy to put into these games anymore. I’d rather dump a bunch of mindless hours into D4 and not feel completely lost if I don’t have time to play for a couple of weeks.

Thats how I feel with Souls games. I just cant get into them

I feel that way about a lot of open world games. Exploring open worlds in theory seems like a lot of fun but what you actually get is a bunch of repetitive missions. I’ve found in general I would much rather play a more linear Uncharted type game than an open world mission based game.

I think the last open world game with missions that I really liked was Spider-Man remastered. I found the combat in that game to be super fun so some repetitive missons didn’t bother me as much.

Elden Ring is incredible. I normally don’t like ā€œopen worldā€ games like that, but it’s insanely good and deserves all the awards it’s gotten.

The other ā€œopen worldā€ game that really grabbed me (I put it in quotes because they do have boundaries and end goals) was Subnautica. I usually hate vague games where you just explore and figure things out, but it blew me away.

Jedi Survivor release date is tomorrow and all reports seem to indicate it’s really poorly optimized. It’s the trend these days for developers to release broken, poorly optimized games.

One way I de-stressed during the early days of the pandemic was to listen to podcasts and play Subnautica on the easy level just dicking around. It’s actually more fun to forget about the survival stuff and just build underwater houses that look cool. Green Hell is another game worth checking out.

My PS1 just got a chub.

Brief story:

Ocarina of Time came out when I was living in the freshman dorms. I loved it.

A buddy of time hopped on and played my save game while I was at class. I came back and he nonchalantly said ā€œOh, I beat the Shadow Temple for you.ā€ He said it like I’d appreciate him doing it. I hadn’t even played it, it wasn’t like I was stuck on it.

Might be the angriest I’ve ever been. I never touched the game again.

I guess there’s ways I can play it on PC.

This will probably suck but I’m in.

I want to see the character that’s just a dude attached to two massive wheels.

I realize I am years behind the curve but I hadn’t played a first person shooter since probably Battlefield 1942 and have played too much Fortnite over the last 10 days. I had no idea there was so much stuff in this game. Makes more sense now how it prints money.

They added some Star Wars stuff yesterday and using Darth Maul’s lightsaber to crush some sadsack with force-thrown rocks is addictive.
