    XCOM 2 sucks?

    I really enjoyed the first one (remake). Decided to get XCOM 2 and man I'm not enjoying it at all. Seems too complicated for no reason. Constant alerts popping up to let me know some shit is about to hit the fan if I don't hurry up and do something. Everything has a freaking time limit. It's...

    Any new-ish games you actually enjoyed?

    Most feel like to-do list simulators because the art/writing/gameplay are too dull to dress it all up properly. Or maybe I'm just old. I did have fun playing these though Arkham City Mario Odyssey Zelda BOTW Thats about all I can think of.

    Just finished Scorn

    Anyone play it? Thoughts? Gave me mid-90's vibes, when a bunch of random weird-ass first person games were coming out and nobody really knew what they were doing. Refreshing in a way because it felt so different (for better and worse) to every modern game, if you can call it that. The way they...

    Did you play Diablo 4 Beta?

    What did you think? Couldn't resist and fired it up on Sunday. Glad to see them get back to the dark tone but the world feels like shit though tbh. Things respawning and everything resetting nearly instantly, no sense of accomplishment from clearing areas, packs of monsters at every corner...

    Pentiment

    Use of famous actor's faces in games

    What's your take on this? One of the very few games I'm looking forward to is Calisto Protocol but for the life of me I can't understand why they would use the movie star's face for the main character. There are two problems: 1) I can't not see the actor. The point of acting (in my opinion)...

    Diablo 2 Resurrected on Switch

    Never thought I'd pick up the game again. I haven't even played any games in general lately but I cannot tell you how fucking epic it is to play Diablo 2 on a shitter. I would absolutely murder for a Resurrected type remake of the first two Fallout games. At least just tweak the controls. The...

    Why are modern isometric RPGs shit?

    When compared to the ones from the 90s. They should be so easy to make from tech perspective, that the writing, the art, the combat should get all the time. But every one I've played so far feels inferior. Clunky, bland in many ways, not as rich in content and/or themes and even unfinished...

    Help me id an old game?

    I used to play this game at the office like 20 years ago. It was some simple puzzle game that had the same idea behind it as candy crush, kind of. There was a wall of smiling faces of different color and you shot another face at them from the bottom of the screen. When three of the same color...

    Thoughts on Valve Steam Deck?

    I like it tbh. A switch for the rest of your games. Will probably get the xbox pass or whatever its called so you will have a lot of content. For someone like me who doesn't really have time to sit and play anymore, it's a cool gadget. The only thing I don't get is how any device in 2021 can...

    Half Life Alyx and other VR Games

    I think I'm close to the end of the game and it's been excellent. Probably won't replay it but a fun playthrough regardless. Been awhile since a game made me smile or go "wow" with something truly awesome. Some parts of the game made me ache for a Bioshock VR in the same vein. Any other PC...

    Pillars of Eternity. Not enjoying it

    I'm only about 10-15 hours in but finding myself really bored with this game. How is a game made 20 years after Baldur's Gate (the obvious inspiration here) so much worse than Baldur's Gate? Visually it looks cheap as fuck, from character models to the environments to the effects. Most...

    I love the fact that Sulik never...

    I know that he was meant to but it's been cut and unofficially patched, but the fact that you never come across her in the finished game is very fitting to the setting. She vanished without a trace, possibly an unremarkable slave who died during a trek across the wasteland somewhere, maybe made...

    Finally played Red Dead Redemption. It sucks

    RDR has been my must play for years, and I finally got around to it. To be honest, the game is shockingly shit. Writing, setting, visual style, voice acting all top notch, as one would expect from Rockstar, but the rest is just awful. Half way through, it became a chore to play and actually...

    I miss you pricks

    Was never really close with anyone here but miss my daily visits to read up on the relevant news and opinions that life allowed to seem important in the good old days. Miss the arguing and the constant ball breaking. Miss being excited about Fallout. What I'm trying to say here is I'm feeling...

    I just finished Fallout 4 and I have questions about the Institute

    Finally finished the game. Been playing it with massive breaks so I don't remember many details. What did the Institute actually want? The whole thing was about achieving a perfect synthetic human being. Why? Are they trying to replace all humans with synths? How is that the future of...

    A good way to spend a 20

    I think: Own Planescape on GOG or Steam or both but saw a guy selling these and wanted a physical copy. Never played the other game but had to have it since Troika.

    4K Display and Older Games Like Fallout 1/2

    Anyone try playing older games on a 4K display? About to buy a laptop and wondering if going 4K will make those older games (Fallout, BG, Arcanum) unplayable.
