I cannot for the life of me get to a stable 60 fps on half decend settings, I cancelled my preorder and I‘m waiting for the DF review… I might as well grab it on a discount in the future when I have future hardware… The game itself was fantastic, it just ran like ass.

The kinda game I can‘t replay cause its mystery carried it so hard for me, and now that I already know the answer…

More than enough people who will replay it or play it for the first time though, so I hope it‘s gonna be good

Seems like they’ve realized remasters of their classics sell

What did you as a fan of the franchise think about Unbound?

I also picked the cute cat when I first started the game blind and had no idea what it was gonna evolve into, that it’d go from kitty to wrestling star was not on my mind lol

Maybe unpopular opinion, but USUM is my favorite Pokemon game. The graphics were great and fitting, and it had a nice cozy feel with a banger OST.

Going from that to SwSh broke my heart. I literally just wanted a less pixelated USUM and instead they „evolved“ to that weird plastic/clay look like so many other Nintendo-close franchises…

I‘d say I‘m excited for an USUM remake in the future, but I don‘t think they‘d go with the vibrant and clean anime look anymore, and that‘d be over half my excitement gone.

100€ for a singular videogame sounds so crazy to me

I loved their last three HITMAN games, easily in my top 10 favorite games ever (the actual story portion of it, not the liveservice), so yeah, I‘m very excited.

I also wished they would‘ve not gone the liveservice route with their last HITMAN title and kept making proper entries. Have there even been new maps since the story ended? Last time I checked all they did was throw out new targets with a shallow story on - at best modified - existing maps.

That being said, I‘m so ready and excited for actual new content from them. Exploring their maps has always been so fun for me.

And I think them working on a James Bond game has been known for so long, it shouldn‘t be much longer until we see it.

I found that channel a couple weeks ago and without having much insight into the development side of games myself, I just thought their videos couldn‘t look more shady if they tried. Especially the plugging of their own company (?) and call for donations among other things left a bad taste. They should work on their presentation IMO.

Glad to hear things are looking up for you. What‘s in your new rig?

I really don‘t understand how FROM, with all their success and talent, fumbles so often on a technical level

I‘m planning to play Bread & Fred with a friend and get the platinum time trials even though we both kinda suck at the game, we have a backup plan with GOD EATER 3 to calm ourselves down after too many failures though LOL

I‘m trying to play We Were Here (the f2p one) with my gf but there‘s a weird choppiness to the camera when you walk around which made both of us motion sick, not sure what that‘s about.

TimeSplitters for sure

Time to put the DLSS 4 dll into other games and see how it looks!

Putting the finishing touches on Darksiders Genesis with a friend. Game was alright. My advice would be to play the game on Medium or High settings with Ultra textures. I realized too late that I could‘ve played with 50% higher framerate while the game hardly looks any different all this time lol

I also hope to figure out why the fuck I suck so much at Dorfromantik and get a bit more into the game this weekend.

Wholeheartedly agree with your take on CK3. Considering how greedy they are with their DLC policy, you‘d at least think they‘d be able to get proper multi-core optimizations into their engine so games don‘t grind to a halt lategame…

I did the Lingua Franca achievement in CK3 before mods etc. were allowed for it (essentially a world conquest challenge), and lategame was crazy slow while my CPU was snoozing.

Also it feels to me like the more DLCs they add the more forced/unpolished it gets, the features don’t fit in nicely, but that‘s just my personal opinion. Also lots of oversights in text when I last played.

It‘s a great game regardless which honestly should be pirated, or the base game bought and pirate the rest. The DLC policy is just batshit insane. Don‘t they even have a monthly DLC subscription for some games? Like fuck off lol

I hope at least the ninja part plays like an actual assassin instead of brawling with half a dozen guards

Yeah, I get that, I was just trying to say that the above is probably their reasoning in my mind. They‘re scared shitless to fuck the transition up, calling it „The Stuff You Guys Loved 2.0“ is the lowest risk move.

I like your Super Switch though lol

Especially considering it has access to DLSS, I‘m looking forward to see what Nintendo‘s first party studios can cook up with these specs. But I‘m waiting for the OLED model sometime in the future.

They wanna make it very clear that this is their best-selling console ever but better, I would‘ve been surprised if they didn‘t just slap a 2 on it. There‘s so much riding on this for them.

Mainly Celeste, Darksiders Genesis co-op, and Eiyuden Chronicle Rising. Celeste and Eiyuden are great, Darksiders is fine, it feels a bit generic. I was way too scared of Celeste, it‘s not as hard as I feared it would be without assist mode.

Found a Monster Hunter Wilds key for cheap, already lost.

Mostly Celeste and Yonder TCCC. There‘s a fine line between cozy and boring, and Yonder‘s dangerously close to the latter.

My last new graphics card was a 1080, I‘ve bought second hand since then and will keep doing that cause these prices are…

Sounds sustainable af

The game has become more of a brawler‘s creed, I wish it was more about figuring out how to cleanly assassinate your target instead of leveling up to match the level of and fight a buncha goons…

I hope Shadows won‘t just be a bad Tsushima…

It‘s also crazy how they‘ve aged. Do top games nowadays look better? Yes. Do they look a decade better, though?

NFS Unbound… Not great but I was just trying to finish it lol

I‘m still mad at Microsoft but I‘m glad Tango gets to keep creating games.

I think it‘s car licenses, I heard Ferrari for example is obscenely expensive to license, the licenses run out and it‘s not worth to renew them since the games don‘t make much money anymore.

If you‘re eyeing NFS Unbound for that sweet 90+% discount, get Forza Horizon, The Crew 2/Motorfest or even NFS Heat instead. The effects - which most people take offense with - are probably the only thing about this game that isn’t generic and the only thing I have a positive opinion about. The car handling, the map, the story, the soundtrack, the performance, the cops - the fucking cops… Long rant short: Get a different acarde racer and don‘t waste your time with NFS Unbound. There’s a reason they’re already throwing it away for five bucks.

NFS Heat is the same shit but better, and The Crew or Forza Horizon are way better than that still.

The original is such a hidden gem, my absolute favorite shop managing game. Its only downside was that the main story kinda was done too quickly. Less than ten hours IIRC.

This game really does deserve a proper (good) sequel.

(Why does it say ProjectRecetter at the bottom of the menu screen lol)

This one‘s been spreading quite rapidly in the past few years. I wonder what happened.

I think I bought this game in summer for 15ish bucks and now they‘ve practically given it away on Steam last sale (3 bucks) and literally on Epic lol, absolutely fantastic game btw, great co-op fun

Agree with you, I platinum‘d it but in the end it frustrated me way more than any other Soulsborne title since there‘s practically no different approaches to fights. You either learn the one way they want you to beat the boss in or you‘re stuck. There‘s no choosing magic or a smaller weapon or a bigger weapon or more armor or less armor.

I also think it‘s by far the hardest of the Soulsbornes (that I‘ve played), it‘s basically the Dark Souls of Soulsborne games lol

I think I‘d pass on a Sekiro 2, having experienced this once is enough for me.

And I don‘t think games have to look that good either… I‘m currently playing MGSV and that game‘s 8 years old, runs at 60 fps on the Deck, and looks amazing. It feels like hundreds of millions are being burned on deminishing returns nowadays…

Only Rocket League is over 1000, League of Legends would probably be over 1000 too and CS 1.6 SHOULD be but Steam says 400 which is hard to believe.

Over 400: Crusader Kings III and Leaf Blower Revolution (obviously this one just ran in the background a lot without interaction…), CS 1.6

Over 200: Black Ops III Zombies, Skyrim, GTA V, Nioh, Nioh 2, Monster Hunter World

Game was hard for me to get into but once it clicked, it was awesome

A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).

I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!

Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.

I love hunting for achievements and there’s always one unfinished game that’s a fallback to push a bit further in these cases where I stare at my Steam library for five minutes without starting anything, right now it‘s „if in doubt, play Metal Gear Solid V“

Runs 60 FPS all high on the Deck as well, which is crazy to me

Agreed, Titanfall 2 holds up incredibly well. Pretty much looks and plays like it came out this year IMO
