    Uncharted 4

    Playing Lost Legacy. Pirated the GOG version. Don't feel bad, because I already own the disc. Bad port. Surround doesn't work with Windows set to 5.1. You have to install Dolby Access and use the 3D Spacial option in the game, and even then the sound crackles after a while. So forced to play in...

    What game are you wasting time on?

    The last time I played Banjo Kazooie was maybe twelve years ago. At the time, I did not have enough puzzle pieces to open the final door after the trivia/time attack board game and gave up. This time, I opened the final door with one jigsaw to spare. So, because I have not actually played the...

    The PS5 and Xbox 2 thread - it's happening

    Movie games (and Sony makes nothing but) on a handheld is an asinine concept.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows - Afro Samurai in late Sengoku period Japan - coming November 15th

    95 percent of character creation is bad, Squirrel. The tedious numbers and sliders nearly always produce characters that look worse or blander than those made with developer tools. Notice that the better faces often look kind of the same, because the players choose from the only half-decent...

    Assassin's Creed Shadows - Afro Samurai in late Sengoku period Japan - coming November 15th

    I'm not even a fan of Afro Samurai. It's from that ugly era of mid 2000s digital animation. But calling Shadows that is way too generous. Feudal-futuristic setting with hip hop and stylized fights was cool, as I recall. Black samurai also didn't feel like part of some agenda. Been many years...

    What game are you wasting time on?

    Check the analog movement from almost any game that generation (Banjo Kazooie included) and you will find a full range. Check the analog movement from almost any game now (except Nintendo's) and you will only find two speeds. Certainly because they spend so much money on motion-captured...

    What game are you wasting time on?

    Argh, almost two hours in Clock Clock Wood, could not find the last two notes and last jigsaw. That the cartridge does not save locations of notes found so that you can get the remaining ones next time is annoying. So, with only the end game left, my completion for Banjo Kazooie this time is...

    Best traditional expansion pack? (no DLC garbage please)

    FromSoftware DLC should be separated from the main story. Have us access it from the menu. It's always too long, hurting the sense of urgency, making the protagonists look like they forgot about their original goals. Also potentially overpowers them for the latter half of the story.

    Best traditional expansion pack? (no DLC garbage please)

    I don't think it counts. Sonic 3 & Knuckles should just be called Sonic the Hedgehog 3, because that first cartridge felt almost like half a game or 70 percent after 2.

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    I don't write them all off. I like a few a lot. But almost any of them would be better in good third-person view. Half-Life: Alyx didn't have most of the problems, but VR is too cumbersome to set up.

    Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?

    Because it's too fast and I can't defend my Age of Empire II kingdom while trying to keep it pretty as I did when I was a child, unless I play on boring easier difficulties.

    Vapourware Dragon's Dogma II - modding general thread

    Haven't played it yet. Should mod in more trees, because the land looks barren like in the first game.

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    Bought Dying Light today. Don't like it. Not so much because the opening with scene after scene of scripted animations, boring dialogue and pedestrian characters was so fucking tedious that I started skipping cutscenes (which I do more and more nowadays), but because parkour feels awful in...

    What game are you wasting time on?

    This absurd darkness in Splinter Cell, you would think the CIA would at least keep this security checkpoint lit.

    The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

    Do you keep your debit/credit card on Steam? I don't. But I don't often buy games anymore.
