the idea of a fake psychic getting in touch with the actual world beyond is both intriguing and seems like a prime place for some good "in way too deep over your head" situations
It's a better asscreed than the last couple, still don't like it though.
I'll give you Valhalla but combat wise/options it's dog compared to Odyssey and I don't think even that or Origins has good combat.
Kinda reminds me of The 37th Mandala, a fantastic book by Marc Laidlaw (the writer of the Half Life series).
As i said Sony needs PC players more than PC players need Sony. Most of those regions will still play their games, they will just not pay for them or contribute to Sony MAU.
Hmm, never really liked the hit box combat in the ass games,
always preferred the animation based combat, so that's probably why I never gravitated to it.
I'm watching a streamer (Northernlion) play the game and it looks awesome. Think I'll pick it up.
Grabbed Abiotic. Heard it's great solo so I can test it out to see if I can drag friends in to play with me haha.
Based. That's my biggest issue with the recent Assassin's Creed games. I'm fine with the new formula, but the combat feels awful. Honestly almost as janky as The Witcher 3's combat.
Abiotic is my weekend game and I'm soloing it.
Absolutely dope af so far.

Can't believe I'm getting called out like this
Finished Indika. Delightfully weird narrative game, with a heavy focus on it's themes that wouldn't feel out of place of a Dostoevsky novel. It's surreal, with ruined landscapes that are inexplicably too large for humans to live in, but you traverse through them all the same. There's some minor puzzles, but they're very slight and you tend to get them done real quick, so the game can go back to what it cares about, the themes and narrative. It's very much a linear walking sim, with really quite beautiful views and areas to walk through.
It's about spirituality, and more specifically what that spirituality engenders in people. Indika is a nun with the devil talking to her, while Ilya, the escaped convict you meet on your travels, is convinced he's talking to God. Together you end up travelling to find a relic that'll cure you both. As this is a Russian game, you can perhaps guess that this is not going to end well.
Which, to be fair, while the game does tread over well trodden ground, discussions about free will abound, it's still very well done and always good to see these sort of mature takes on hefty themes in video game form. It is very short though, it took me around 4 hours to complete according to Steam, but you could probably do it in less. The 'If A24 made a video game' review lines are very apt, cause it's practically movie length.
I enjoyed it. I can recommend it. Definitely not for everyone though.

Biased because I love old world shooters but yes. Despite coming out in 1994 mere months after Doom it already uses concepts that would become familiar in games like Jedi Knight, Goldeneye, and Half-Life.
9 would be more accurately described as "a couple", I agree, :p
Restarted my XCOM 2 WOTC run about three times now since I want a semi decent headstart and not limping right out of the gate.
Was getting annoyed as shit with sectoids until I discovered Rangers are their worst nightmare. I think I fucked up going for blademaster over phantom though. Being able to scout without constantly alerting pods in timed missions seems like it would be invaluable.
I know you get the reaper relatively quickly but still.

Cyberpunk 2077's quest lead says it's a story 'about terminal illness,' and playing it while staring down the barrel of one was the most intense RPG experience I've ever had
Playing a game where your character's on borrowed time, while you might also be on borrowed time.
This is a real good piece.
They're very old classic games, most notable for pushing story in a FPS very strongly. What Bungie do there is really impressive actually, especially for the time (Marathon came out a year after DOOM). It starts off good with impressive depth then goes deeper and crazier from there, especially in Marathon Infinity.
But these are shooters from the mid 90s. If you're happy accepting that and the limitations, there's a really great story there to experience. But otherwise your best bet might be watching Mandalore's review of the three games. I'd suggest watching those anyway, and if it interests you skip the Story (Spoiler) sections if you want.

It is 2am....I have been playing 1000xRESIST for 4 hours .... This game is incredible. It's hitting all the right boxes for me. Even the parts of the plot that I've been able to predict, I don't care, because the presentation is so cool, and it's just nailing all of the themes, I'm so in love with it
First time posting in the PC Era threads.
So looking forward to Hellblade later this month. Gonna be an insane week with Furiosa (the movie lol) releasing on the same day over here in Belgium.
Will be playing some older titltes like Greedfall and Kingdom Come in the meantime.

It is rude to visit place for the first time and not bring Belgian chocolate :D
Yep, underrated as heck, why troy is more famous when debra already done not only so many voices but also mocap works (with likeness) since last few gens. She probably needs more lead roles.Me: I should play 1000xResist.
Also Me: Time for another few missions in Gears Tactics
Managed to recruit Debra Wilson who is in every game nowadays which is wonderful.
picked up kena: bridge of spirits today. been wanting to try it for a while, and it's on sale, so why not!
so far it's absolutely GORGEOUS, but it also has the stiffest jumping animation ever -- which means i kinda cant' stop jumping just to see it

That would make for quite a different game, but would be amusing. Few generations too early sadly, unless there's some inspiration going on. The game does promise that you'll interact with and play as the likes of Harry Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle at least.
