The Cuphead DLC is incredible. Hand-drawn animation, and a ton of love went into the boss designs and mechanics.
So good, and only $8! This is how DLC should be(I don't mind it took 2 years to make)

I think I will have to try this one soon.
I hesitated and left it for a long time, never liked this kind of scary animation when I was a kid.
Prefered smoother lines, like in donald duck  )

EDF 5 is sooooo much better than EDF Iron Rain.

[Heavyrock1212]

Trackmania 2020 is probably my current favorite game, so much fun trying to improve your times on essentially infinite tracks made by the community. That being said Tarkov just wiped so I'm in that games clutches currently.

[Sintpinty]

I finished lego batman 3

[tp4tissue]

wish Codemasters would make an Initial D game.. that'd be AWESOME..

[SBJ]

Started SWTOR with some friends playing through the story atm.
Other than that playing Days Gone.

I beat Dusk recently! Great little game. Been playing MGS3 on the weekends. Besides that, you know I've been playing plenty of Fallout: New Vegas

Back in the days I started playing Fallout 1 and then 2, but never finished it.
I would like to play them again. Wondering which one I should play, 1 or 2?

2, most definitely 2. Maybe look into some builds for the game just so you don't get stuck up crap creek without a paddle.

anyone playing OSRS? There should be a Geekhack clan! Anyways if anybody plays, hit me up, my username is SlurmSoda420

I lack the time and energy these days for MMOs. Back in the day I played Ultima Online but once my friends stopped playing...what was the point anymore.

Off-topic question: Why do you call yourself lazerpointer? Just curious because I work in the laser light industry.

I have recently started a job which gives me much more time off, so I'm getting back into it. I just keep coming back to the game, I don't know why.

Regarding my username, it's nothing cool or anything like that. I'm a fan of Xmen (Cyclops) and I think lasers are cool in general. The profile pic is probably something you're familiar with, it's a laser eye damage warning which I inverted the colors of.

I was thinking of 2nd.

2 for sure. Huge amount of side story stuff in that game, endless dialogue, decent writing and ideas in FO2 as well that still hold up and are still being used by modern devs narrative-wise. If you liked Planescape Torment or Disco Elysium, you'll dig Fallout 2.

Be sure to install the Restoration Project mod, it makes everything much better and modernized. Fixes a ton of stuff, adds in a lot of cut/unfinished content.

Well, back in 90s I couldn't finish PLanescape Torment because of the amount of dialogs:) I want to play Disco so bad, but I'm worried that I will drown in unknown english words...
So yeah, I will then try 2nd, but already worried if its too much text for me. I like good story but not like in PLanescape when you spent hours on reading, instead of having fun. But will definitely try it. ANd need to get that mod as you said, thanks :thumb:

Playing RDR2 story mode...
Not sure if it's epic or just okay with pretty visuals and a decent story.

One thing I will say is I am tired of the game dictating what weapons to use at times and when you can run just to build drama. Or worse, get off the horse and find the game left your weapons on the horse when you got off while chasing an animal. I had them when I stepped off, reach for a shotgun and only finding a pistol to fend off 7 wolves. Gee, thanks.

It's Maddening.

No, its not epic.
Witcher 3 is epic.
RDR2 is ok game, I played for first hour and uninstalled it. Good graphics, but it did not pull me in. It was too boring at the beginning, at least for me.

[Leslieann]

It does get better.
Took a bit and the intro was far too long (sort of like GTA), then it kind of slow burns.

I've read you're supposed to just sit back and enjoy the slower pace, unfortunately the pacing is horrible. You no sooner get into a slow casual pace only for it to do something stupid. It's stupid slow when it needs to be faster and fast when it doesn't need to be. And then a cougar jumps out of a bush and you die. There's almost nothing to this game except the primary mission, nothing on the side enhances the main story and nothing on the side tells much of anything. For such an open world, it's extremely desolate, predictable and linear.
 
I look forward to the end but I can't ever see playing it again.


The Witcher looks good but supernatural stuff just turns me off immediately.

This is why its so crap. Nothing more, you should be able to run in random sub-missions, some extra action etc
This is why Witcher is the best game ever - it has hundreds of small tasks, missions, lots of things is happenning around, you never ride through point to point without something extra happaning on the road.

I'm waiting for Enhanced version for PC, should here soon. Then I will play it whole thing again

Just finished RE7. Amazing. Felt like playing a grimy, dirty, splatter horror movie. The cage fight definitely reminded me of Texas Chainsaw 2. Playing RE:Village now and I gotta say I love the selection of out of there guns they choose. Between the M37 Ithaca and the 1897 in this game (Not to mention the automag in 7) RE has the strangest way of picking out my favorite guns.
Ethan in Village seems a lot more relatable than he was in 7. In 7 he was kinda a massive prick only interested in his wife. NGL tho this definitely feels a bit like a different genre. Less splatter and more of a "Susperia meets Hostel" situation. Also, the baby is adorable. My 5'5.5" ass would go toe to toe with a 10 foot milf vampire to make sure she's safe. (I'd totally get stomped, but then again I don't have a fungus keeping me alive after I got my head stomped in.

More relatable than "Shouty ******* dribbling moron."

[CaesarAZealad]

Also I beat the game last night. I liked him a lot as a character. Classic "Dad wants to save child" character, but this man had his ****ing heart ripped out, willed himself back to unlife, put a healthy amount of buckshot in mother miranda's face, and then blew up the mold fetus.
He's definitely one of my favorite RE characters, Just behind Claire and just in front of Leon (Who is essentially tied with Chris "Mister Boulder Fister" Redfield.

Spiderman, Spiderman, Radioactive Spiderman! Seriously the game slaps & looks gorgeous on PC with the graphics all pumped up. They have a few kinks to still work out, namely a nasty memory leak that'll eat your VRAM in a few hours necessitating a restart. Overall a pretty fun game & I'm confident Nixxes will work all the kinks out sooner than later. Well worth a buy if you haven't played it on PS4/5 yet!

Dishonored Death of the Outsider - not a new release, but at least DLC.

[noisyturtle]

I have been loving Voidigo, and with the recent balance changes and game additions I can finally highly recommend it.
Very much in the same vein as Issac or Enter the Gungeon, if you liked those you'll like Voidigo. Lovely colors, and great replayability.

Got F1 2022, so that's been alright. Also got Stray the other which seems interesting.

And for random down times, I've started playing Cities Skylines.

I just turned my gaming PC on (Last Night) after 3-4 years.

Been playing:

Diablo 2: Resurrected

Destiny 2 (Never played before)

Predator: Hunting Grounds

Destiny 2 can be confusing to newcomers, just work on levels and spec for high resilience (currently have 3 characters at max Light -1580+modifier)

Going Under is really damn fun. I was so sure I would hate the writing and characters, but they are spot on and well written.
As someone who worked too long in a corporate office for some big e-companies, it really hits home.

Wait a goshdarned minute. Is there something that tp4 doesn't know how to do? I guess all of us humans have our limitations (assuming tp4 is human).

For about two years, one of the only constants in my life has been my near-daily 2-hour Fortnite meetings with my squad of homies. Gosh bless Epic Games for my daily dose of happy.

The new God Of War is exactly the kind of "game" I hate. This is the type of design that is killing industry design creativity. If I wanted to watch a movie and be hand-held through a linear experience, I'd just watch a damn movie! It goes against my very core beliefs in game design, systemic design, and hot media types.

been playing CarX Drift Racing Online recently, im not too competitive but i really just enjoy modifying my car and hosting virtual meetups lol. there is a LOT of customization in the game, like more than some NFS games.

[PlayBox]

I like mining games where I can earn <redacted>.  I like earn and play games. and it's the easiest way to get extra coins. When I need some extra coins, I just build virtual mining center and earn online. As for me it' a great way to get into crypto without any risks and having fun playing arcade games.

I played this game for maybe 20 hours and just got bored with constant travelling between A and B. Graphics and sound is very nice, story I assume gets better with time, but that travelling and drowning in that black lava when monsters come out - so annoying. I just couldn't play it any more.

It feels really cheap, the AI I mean, especially on harder difficulties. It may be I'm just not used to the flow of 11 yet, or maybe because I played so much X since I QA'd that title I know all it's intricacies from being forced to get good at it. I really do not like how they broke up each character's main moves between different styles. For example: Kung Lao can toss his hat, teleport, turn into a tornado, and throw his hat along the ground. But only one or two in each style, you cannot have them all at once. Which to me feels like destroying the core of each character's playstyle. Like w/ Kano, you have to CHOOSE between turning into a Blanka ball, or having an eye laser. You can't have both. Super lame.

But what I will say 100% certainty is that I absolutely HATE all the character redesigns. They all look so so so bad. They ALL legit look so ugly, every single character, like they went out of their way to make every beloved character as fugly as possible. My boy Kano looks like someone slapped a babies head on an ape's body, Scorpion now wears green (like, what??) and a Dunkin Donuts hat, Sonya looks like something out of Mass Effect Andromeda, D'Vorah looks straight up disgusting, and Sheeva.... my God what have they done to you Sheeva. They butchered you something horrible girl.
It is crazy how ugly every single character is. I legit have never seen a more fugly lineup in a mainstream fighter, and I'm including Primal Rage in that )

Kabal looks cool, but it's mostly his mask was basically unchanged from other games.
