Tried Genshin Impact for a bit and it confirmed my suspicion, I can't get into a game with characters that look like that, I just can't enjoy it or take it seriously. The game seemed pretty nice otherwise, oh well.
I was also "entertained" by the mindfuck that was pressing B to advance in the menus and A to go back.

How long you guys think until the evil within 2 is on game pass. In the mood for a horror game and am really tempted to pick that up and play it again on PC. Also what's better outlast 2 or SOMA??

Remember 20 years ago when Microsoft unleashed this evil upon us?
I remember my cousin having a hell of a time with this one.
Oh god.
This was my first PC.
It genuinely put me off PCs for the longest time.
While I loved the setting of Origins and Bayek I'm done with the new AC games. The flip in style of games is just way too much. Shame because AC2/Brotherhood are two of my favorite games from the 360/PS3 era.
Never played Outlast 2, but it's SOMA, SOMA is better.
Also a nice Indie collection from Eastern European devs:
Thanks Kain for the link!

I'm still holding hope.
But once I get a PS5 I won't be able to wait any longer and my collection will be fractured.

Level scaling at -2 so the regular guys aren't sponges, and set difficulty to hard so the mercs and bosses are still interesting.
That was the OS we used right when I started to get back into pc gaming again as a teenager. You had to plan around the constant BSODsRemember 20 years ago when Microsoft unleashed this evil upon us?

Moving to WIndows2000 was a godsend
What exactly constitutes 'Lara-ness'?
Butlers locked in fridge? Willingness to steal artifacts from foreign lands? You know it when you see it, really.
Haha. Go buy a lottery ticket!
I'll probably try putting up some of those Humble Monthly codes in the near future, too. There were a ton of awesome games in the past few months, but I already own many of them (some like Vampyr, even twice).
I really need to stop forgetting to pause my sub.
At least I got Catherine Classic now.

Oh shit had no idea Pendragon was Inkle, will have to check it out. 80 Days is one of the goats and Heavens Vault was such a unique adventure game. Check them out
Hopefully works on integrated graphics since I still can't get a 3080 lol.

4 gifts from Clowns

Hello, I am bot! I come bearing 4 gifts from

This is a quick raffle that will expire in 6 hours. The winner will be drawn at random! Any prizes leftover after the deadline will become available on a first-come first-serve basis.
These are our awesome prizes:
I have level scaling at default which is around -2, unless I'm mistaken.
But I have no intention of increasing the difficulty - if anything I'd like to lower it. As it is, I feel like the brutes have more HP than a typical boss in Dark Souls. 😓
Isn't the default at 0? That's what it was when I played it. The mercs are meant to be tough :-) Always start with a stealth attack then hero strike, should be 50%-100% hp gone after that, even on Hard.
Do we know if the PS5 controller will work on PC yet?
Tempted to order one for at least some next gen newness.

Sony bullshit..?
I jest. Sort of. I was always under the impression that the PlayStation controllers were just that marginally less native than the Xbox ones are, but that may be an outdated view. Hopefully there's nothing silly stopping the DualSense from working.
Someone would find a way to mod it working if Sony acted like arseholes
Yeah it's just a regular action game with numbers going up, no progression at all. I hate level scaling.
Fairly new to PC gaming (started this year, but didn't find much time so far for it). Preordered the new Xbox Series controller.
Looking forward to this and maybe subscribing for a month Game Pass for the first time (hope to find time over Xmas).

"Default" is dependent on the difficulty set, so on Normal I think it's two levels below current level. On Hard or higher I imagine it's automatically set to Heavy which means 0 levels below.
Yeah, I can get behind the idea of having though enemies but for me this just means it takes more time rather than being challenging. I'm mostly sticking to mashing R1 with the occasional dash attack or kick, so maybe I need to vary my combat routine but I'm not sure how. :p
I always try to get in a backstab before entering combat, but it's not always possible. I'll look into the Hero Strike though!
The Hero Strike is the best tool during combat by far. And that assassin rush attack to hit up to 4 enemies (or the same 2 enemies twice). Don't forget the parry move during combat, making sure not to try it during a non-blockable attack. And if a merc fight is going badly, run away and use arrows. Or, start the fight by staying on horse and filling him with arrows.
I just checked, indeed the default scaling on Normal is -2 so my earlier tip didn't help, sorry. The default is -1 on Hard, which I changed to be -2. I don't notice regular enemies being sponges though, even on Hard and -2. The assassin rush attack is OHK about half the time on regular enemies, and leaves them with a sliver of health otherwise. Some mercs can be tough, other times I get lucky and OHK stealth strike them.
Seems like a no brainer to me. You get gyro, a mic array, the touchpad, and possibly haptic feedback and adaptive triggers if devs support it.
it's made worse by the fact that the Fume Ultra Greatsword was dissapointing (moveset wise) and I'm back to good ol' Greatsword +10 >_>
Started and finished Firewatch in a couple of days. Pretty good. Different than I was thinking it would be, as far as exploration, but not bad, not bad. Played through the PC digital release of Freedom Fighters twice also. Would like to get through a bunch of my shorter games before November.
Wrapped up Darksiders Genesis, so I'll shut up about it now. You guys can be happy. Kidding, not yet.
The best part was the banter between Strife and War, and the worst part was the camera. The graphics, music, and gameplay were all passable, but nothing mind boggling. The story was trash. The ending, especially, was underwhelming af. Thank God for Game Pass, because if I had bought this at full price or something, I'd be very sour now. 6/10
Gonna play Red Dead Redemption 2 next, because I'm not getting a new gfx card after all. I would need to upgrade my mainboard and CPU, and get an nvme too. Too expensive. Gonna get a Series X for now, and upgrade my PC much later. $500 for a modern 8 core CPU, an RNDA2 card, and a super fast nvme is too good to pass up. Add Game Pass' value to this mix, and it's simply a no brainer for someone on a tight budget like me.

took me like 20 tries, most of which were coop. finally decided to solo it and got him within like 4 tries
Steam will most likely add support for it(like with DS4), but I don't think Sony will release official drivers for it.
Microsoft should just do what Apple did for iOS and just add support for all these controllers to Windows 10.
Yes. It's hilarious that Apple seems to have the best native controller support of ANY OS with iOS, yet the absolute worst OS for gaming. Jeeze Tim Apple, get a clue.
