PC Gaming ERA | December 2019 - A Monument To All Your Sins

I dunno man :(
I still owe you poke trades, just havent been on my Switch
Have this game on the PS4 but have never gone past the first two levels. I remember finding the dialogue facepalm worthy.
I finished it on PC and it ran without issues so no idea what you're talking about.
Just release date i guess. Do that and it would dynamically include all games then arrange them by release date.
I wanted to use it to clear my 2009 released games that i own but ended up working my way from 1987 til early 2000s by now ^^;
I mean, I don't own it, was just what I read. It just had really poor user reviews when I checked it out (looks like it's recovered). The forums though are still full of complaints.
Since someone is messing with his/her PC, I noticed something strange on 'Devices and Printers": my desktop now shows as a transparent blue cube (model AMDA00), instead of the default icon.
Any ideas why?
(The mother-board is Asus, with a Intel CPU and a Gigabyte GPU).
P.S.: Also strange, the Xbox 360 controller shows as a Xbox 360 controller icon. The Xbox One shows as a generic game pad icon.

It's a completely average Souls clone. It doesn't do anything particularly badly but also nothing interesting except for maybe the seamless coop which I haven't tried much since I prefer playing Souls games solo.
There are actual jumping and platforming mechanics unlike most Souls but almost all the loot and secrets is dull and not worth it. They removed stats (which Im fine with btw!) since then you can focus on weapon or tools variety in terms of design. Except the game has piss poor variety to begin with. It's just different skins of clubs, axes, spears and hammers with negligble difference in animations and usage.
The game's core loop is fetch questing around the giant map with quest markers and barely a sense of surprise except for a handful of set pieces. While it doesn't do anything specifically badly, there is a section in a later dungeon that will drive you up a wall due to your AI companion's stupidity.
Honestly, the game does nothing but make you appreciate From's masterful game design in comparison. Only recommend it on a sale.
Every single Souls-inspired game I've played, right up to Jedi Fallen Order recently, just makes me appreciate FROM Software games more and more.
I would say that the home-base evolving over the course of the adventure is cool and a bit different.
I think the art style is marvelous (the wood-carved people look). The music is also really good.
I also think the platforming, while yeah, not exactly rewarding, gives the game a bit of a different feel.
The lantern stuff does what a lot of people wanted DS2 to do (and proves that it's not really that great of a mechanic).
Exactly how I feel. I've yet to play a "Souls-like" that I've enjoyed as much as the Souls series.
I like it, it is less serious Gears of War with better combat and movement. Locations are visually nice too. I kinda feel that Bulletstorm is to Gears of War what Deadpool is to main MCU movies.
I know I'm behind the curve but I didn't realize gg.deals also tells you if the game is on any subscription sites, I've been wanting something like this for a while now and I can't imagine buying games without that kind of info. I've previously been using isthereanydeal
I agree with this entirely. Played Ashen on Game Pass last year and was distinctly underwhelmed. One thing that stood out as being bad was the way open areas are designed - ie terribly, with no sense of progression or meaningful enemy encounters.
I've been a bit fascinated by the idea of a triple monitor set up since I got two new monitors. The new monitors are identical 27 inch models compared to my old 23's. But for fun I think I'll still place one of them beside the 27's just to see a game with 3 monitors whenever I get a new video card.
Anyways I've seen some videos of people with 3 monitor set ups. But has anyone done 3 big screen TV set ups? I mean like three 55+ inch TV's side by side as a triple screen set up? My curiosity wants to see such a thing if anyone has ever done this and filmed it lol.

I can't seem to find a single way to play Reach and make it feel good. Hopefully CE will be a better experience.
This has kinda been my experience with it, my memories of Halo did not match the reality.
The audio issues didn't help either, but I just felt kinda bored with the gameplay.
I reached perfection with the Switch pro controller and gyro, but i guess your issues doesn't lie there.
I'm kinda happy for not having played Halo before because sound mix aside I wouldn't notice any issue if it weren't for the DF video.
I should have clarified, mostly talking about m&kb controls. I gave it a shot with a regular gamepad and a SC, which improved the experience somewhat.
Well it's a series designed around controllers so it makes sense. I'm not a KBM player anyways so i feel at home with Reach
I agree on all of the above.
The home base is impressive on its own with the constant construction and expansion. It's like a peaceful community is slowly taking shape in this horrible world. Well that was the intention I think since it didn't leave much of an impression on me because of the lack interesting NPCs or stories.
I'd also like to add that the combat is simplistic to a fault. They got the slow, uninterruptible animations and high damaging enemies from Souls games right and not much else. Enemy encounter design is really boring with humanoid enemies waiting to ambush you and bum rushing you as soon as they detect you. There are few unique enemy types and are rare between all the dull fighting. The only standout encounter to me is in the last area were the guys chucking spears at you from on top of wall and the player has to figure how to get to them. And it wasn't that good anyway...
There is an artifact and relic system which acts as a stand in for Souls ring slots but most of them are minor (and boring) stat bonuses and some hilariously OP ones like the Red Tearstone Ring clone.
Yeah sorry if this came across rambly, I just wanted to talk about this game since I've seen barely any discussion on it online lol.
I dunno what to play today because it feels so empty now that Jedi: Fallen Order is over. It ended up becoming my GotY after I thought it was finally time for some of my indie darlings to have the spotlight. I always end up playing a single AAA that click with me like this and push the amazing indies to the second and third spots. It happened with Horizon Zero Dawn in 2017 and Spider-Man last year. And now Jedi.
I absolutely loved the game. Didn't really see it as "Souls-like" which is good because I never felt that it was overshadowed by all those things it takes inspiration from. No need to compare it to any other game because it felt like a good mashup of many different things.
So I am very sorry Supraland and Forager, but I have to give it to Jedi this year.

Yeah, you gave me an idea though. I should try gyro assisted-aim with SC.
Yeah that feels the best. Set sensitivity in game at 4. That's enough for simply assist. Ymmv though
The perspective is Diablo-y, but it's more like Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light in that it's basically like the regular games just with a different perspective.

Does it feature a story driven campaign? I played Darksiders I and II - enjoyed both of them including the story. Is Genesis a continuation of these games or set in a different timeline?
Yes it's pretty much just an isometric Darksiders, but with a level-based structure (which you can revisit from a hub world). It's a prequel set before the events of all the mainline games.
Oh sweet. The reviews are surprisingly positive too. Definitely going on the backlog.
Yeah I sopped before I go burned lol. Now I'm dowloading it on a USB and crossing fingers.
On the topic of BIOS time, I checked and mine says 22.4 seconds. Disabling the Xbox app at startup shaved some time off to get there.
Triple monitors is a pain in the ass, I only ever found it even somewhat worth it for flight sims. I still run three monitors for desktop but even that's a pain in the ass, middle being 165hz and the sides being 60hz gives some weird sync issues where if you're playing videos on more than one monitor they all stutter to shit. Maybe I should just change my main monitor to 120hz (which should play nicer with 60hz) but that will kind of sucks for games. I might be crazy but there doesn't seem to be any extremely quick way to change refresh rate on the fly.
BIOS time? You mean like bootup? On Linux booting up to the point I can browse the internet is like 8 to 10 seconds. On a normal SSD that is.
