I finished a rerun of Dragon Age 2 which I love (ppl rate it the worst - not meee) and jumped on to Dragon Age Origins, which I have never finished and I’m struggling… Just not my bag.
Doesn’t help that its the PS3 port, with a UI not designed for a controller (the sequels were much better in this regard) but yeah… not sure if I care enough to complete it :/ At least it doesnt have busywork.
The OG Xcom and Terror from the Deep are the classics. The new 20XX ones are fine, if streamlined additions Haven’t felt any need to revisit apocalypse though.
This is what I love to see niche instances that specialise in an area rather than trying to be another generalist / reddit. At this stage you’ll prob need to fight discoverability issues. Cheering for ya.
Forgot how cool the visual aesthetic in this game is. I feel like it should get a remaster but Im guessing it didn’t sell well enough, could make great use of the ps5 controller.
Replaying the division at the mo, but love both D1 and D2 although noting the engines/environments are great but the stories characters are pretty bland.
Dying Light plus its dlc THE FOLLOWING are a ton of fun. The dlc is completely different from the main game e.g countryside / driving and a decent length So worth checking if you haven’t given it a spin.
Just finished it up - really enjoyed it, doesn't take itself too seriously or punishes the player with difficulty.
Definitely didn't drag as much as the original. The french dwarf dude wasnt as annoying. Will have to replay the original to see what was cut. Curious as to what others thought.
For me I loved Dragon Age 2 beacuse I came from Mass Effect and the streamlined effect totally felt like an ME game to me. Also loved the idea of setting things in one city it was something different. Totally get why people don’t like it tho.
Sad. I was thinking the buyout was more about owning ip e.g halo, fallout tv shows than the devs. I guess in ms world any other studio can take over game development.
It’s a fun game and a good story. I found exploration outside the main story a little lacking but the creatures world realisation and the main character were fantastic.
Actually yes! Days Gone took me 3 reinstalls to get into it. I think I just pushed through the start. I ended up enjoying it I dont know why it got all the bad press.
Just playing through Dying Light again it’s a good solid B+ title.
But what pushes it to great and easy to recommend is the Following DLC which, instead of being more city-bound parkour based gameplay it throws you into the countryside with a vehicle. Almost like a new game in itself.
For some reason I got my back up about not being able to download a streaming video from a site.
I didn't need the video, but this guide was useful for grabbing via VLC

Def interesting dive. Never watched the awards, Plenty there I had never heard of.
