I really hope the gameplay and execution of Returnal lives up to the premise. Same for Deathloop, to a lesser extent.
Returnal is gonna be a AAA roguelike, right? Deathloop too? Or is either one more story based? Can't wait to see extended gameplay
Deathloop seems like a puzzle based shooter where you die a lot and have to learn your way through the level. Returnal seems like Annihilation the Game, with emergent aspects and procedurally-generated levels.
I really haven't read up on either much, though, just watched these press streams.
After putting it aside for a couple months, I started back with FFVII remake last week. I really love how other characters like Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge have been fleshed our, the combat is surprisingly rewarding, and the music is just exquisite. I really love this more than I thought I would when the initial reviews came out. Waiting for the next part is going to be hell.
Also, picked up Mario 3D All Stars yesterday... I never played Sunshine and didn’t have an N64 until waaaay later so I never really dove into that one, so I’m looking forward to checking those out, probably tomorrow. Mario Galaxy is a masterpiece, but I’m wary of how the motion/aim controls will work.

I'll die on a hill of VII as my favorite game of all time (only bowing to Ocarina)
I highly doubt Elder Scrolls or Fallout games will be excluded from PlayStation release... that would just infuriate too many people.
If that does turn out to be the case though... waiting just days after tons of people plopped down money on PS5 preorders to announce this sale is not going to make for some happy people.

Finished Ghost of Tsushima after tinkering around for a couple months. It's whatever. Thought the 3rd act was mostly boring. It looks cool as shit and the homages to samurai movies was great. Besides that it's basically a glorified Assassin's Creed game with all that entails.... very repetitive. Lots of busy work, etc. But I love sneaking around and fucking stuff up. That's fun.
My graphics card pre-order got cancelled, so I'm pretty bummed about that. I assumed Amazon would be a safe bet.
I did pre-order both xboxes and a ps5, though I think I'm just going to cancel them all. I have a bad habit of pre ordering everything and then either not picking it up at best buy or just cancelling the order.
Guess since my gpu order got cancelled, karma finally caught up with me.

3080 launch has been a shit show - do you have a microcenter near you? They get frequent shipments

WHAT!!!! GoT is not "whatever," the game was awesome. Act 3 Finale was phenomenal, but I can see why you felt the act itself was boring. The cinematics were just insane, I love the combat, and I lvoed the characters. I also only really did the main story and the mythic quests so I didn't really have any experience with busy work or repetitiveness, except maybe sneaking through mongol camps but that was fun at least.
Is No Man's Sky good now? Saw something about them really fleshing it out post-release to where it might be worth checking out.
I felt it got good a while ago. I haven't played since a little while before the pandemic started but I really enjoyed a lot of it. They really revamped the game in a lot of ways even if I still didn't totally understand the best way to navigate different space systems.
I've been itching to give it a try since they've added more updates to allow PSVR to work and I've heard that is particularly great. I think the last update I saw recently was they added in giant sand worms?
I bought the game super cheap after it had been shit on for a while. I knew they were still doing updates and even if they weren't it was cheap enough to try it out. I really enjoyed it for a time but like a lot of games moved on to others. I want to go back soon though.

Agreed with him. If you're into the concept, I would consider it. Like ITM, I got a copy used for like $10 for PS4 when public opinion on it was at its lowest. I never have played it long term just bc it's a little too open ended for me. Without direction, I end up getting nothing done in games because I just wander the whole time.

Yeah, I thought the idea seemed super cool and then it came out and the initial reviews were about how the gameplay itself was pretty rote and not that interesting. Like, go to planet, harvest materials, move to the center, nothing particularly strong in the way of motivation, etc. So yeah, if it's gotten a little bit more robust then it would probably be worth checking out. I don't have VR, unfortunately. It would be cool to get that for Tetris Effect and this, but it's not the easiest thing to justify to myself financially.

Yeah, like mentioned I fell off a bit when trying to understand how to travel super far away to other systems and stuff. Like plotting the route and everything. I had my fun going from planet to planet cataloging wildlife and plant life. Definitely the last few times I played were a major difference from the first time I played in the amount of weird/unique life forms.
I also had fun when flying with a lot of stuff and being targeted by space pirates. Fighting them off or escaping gave me a rush cuz I was just flying around minding my own business. Was pretty cool.
Once I got a hang of gathering supplies and creating ship fuel things coasted pretty easily from there.

At this point it's probably worth waiting for whatever they reveal for the next generation of VR. PSVR currently is supposed to work with PS5 but a lot of people think they'll release an upgraded VR in the near future for PS5. It's really cool but I don't use it as much as I would like to. Sometimes a bit of a set up and then got to make sure the camera's tracking you well and stuff. Much easier to play basic games lol
I will say that Skyrim VR, Borderlands, and Doom VR are all really fun. And Resident Evil legitimately scared me a bunch of times. Can only handle that so much. And of course Beat Saber is the shit. Feel like a musical jedi.

I found the central conflict between Jin and his uncle very underwhelming. A great moral/cultural conflict that I'm sure would've have been very complex in reality but the game undercuts it in numerous ways. There's really no question that Jin is correct*. So, in my opinion, the driving conflict that begins to overtake the narrative and quest lines towards the end just isn't very engaging. In fact, it got annoying.
*Not that he doesn't cross a line, he does. BUT that's not even the core of the conflict. It's breaking with tradition and ideas of "honor" that causes the rift. In a situation where it was suicide to do so. That's indeed an interesting basis for generational/ideological conflict but the writers simply aren't successful at sustaining it.
I still havent played any among us. If it's anything like playing mafia with piggy pablo or Dad Dog , count me out.
lmao, there's actually a push to get some games going in place of mafia in the latest thread. I haven't played yet either so I'll be less manipulative for sure!
