Ike★ 2,906 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Been playing WAY too much of the new Hoyoverse game Honkai: Star Rail on Mobile. It’s addicting as shit and the productions values are what you’d see from a AA JRPG and it’s a F2P gatcha. I have reached the grind but I’m having fun still. The game is very generous with its rolls. I have done nothing but free content and got some really great characters on my team. Can’t wait until the PS5 version comes out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FIREPOWER 710 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Bought this new car in GT7. I love how it looks and sounds in VR, it's so awesome 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,554 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Played some Planet of Lana and meh tbh. Coolish setting but not the genre that's hitting atm. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Bought System Shock. Was going to hold off but I was watching the GB quick look and they managed to sell me on it. Mainly because of how its a piece gaming history that should be experienced. Also EGS is offering a 25% off coupon on new games over $15 which is nice. I was able to get the game for $30. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Oh boy, System Shock doesn't leave a good first impression. Firstly, there's a lot of junk you pick up that you can turn into scrap to get credits. Unfortunately, there's no way quick way of doing that in bulk. You have to go through each item in your inventory and manually do it. There's no way to auto sort your inventory either. So you have to constantly make space yourself by moving around and rotating items. Im not sure how it is on a controller, but doing that on KBM just feels bad. Its a much worse, clunkier version of RE4's inventory tetris Then there's the cyberspace 'mini game'. I've only done it once, and I already feel like I got my fill of it. Its incredibly disorienting and actually made me start to feel physically sick. This game definetly feels like a relic and is missing some real basic quality of life features. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well the point of a remake of this type of game should be to modernize those parts of it that our now outdated. But that said im starting to warm up to it. I think this genre of games is one of my favorites and this one does manage to hold up in many ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that and the awesome final boss. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I dropped System Shock after about 6 hours. I was actually enjoying the game and had explored a good amount of the station's floors, but the objectives were vague enough that I just didn't feel like trying to find out what exactly I needed to do to make progress in the story. I do feel like I got the gist of what the game was and how it shaped the immersive sim genre. I imagine all of its systems and mechanics were very impressive for its time.

Remij 4,670 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Playing the hell () out of Diablo 4. Level 30 currently. We've been running around doing tons of side quests and just exploring everywhere. Game is so good.. and the hours literally just melt away... it's kinda fucking scary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 2 hours into Amnesia The Bunker Game is intense as fuck. Probably the most on-edge and anxious i've felt in an Amnesia game....the atmosphere and audio design in particular are sublime. When you're exploring a section of the bunker, but you fail to keep track of how much fuel is left to the generator and you hear it suddenly power down and the lights simultaneously go off, and then you hear the monster crawling behind the walls, not knowing if its going to suddenly emerge somewhere around you..... 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
