LiS, prequel & first alternatively, it's a good idea.
 
Gamers with hundreds of games in their Steam library saying that they've got nothing to play is a bit like when my wife looks in her bulging wardrobe and says she's got nothing to wear tonight :roll:
Anyway, here's Lara doing what she does, as usual.
TR 2013 Def. Edition on GamePass.

Chromatic Aberration is soooo bad (in first at least), so what, protagonist is photographer then she sess like a camera and that's a good reason (it's my joky idea btw) for dev to force apply the worst filter of all in the universe at the highest level imaginable (never seen that) ?.. then DOF too, that's the second worst !

Can't disable the crap... if i was a dev employed by any/Squrare that want me work on a game at all price, first thing i answer is NO, if CA DOF.

Or a way to disable it, like motion blur in many game, or the "filthy" filter in Silent Hill 2

OMG, i continued play just after post, and the protagonist has this sentence :

I'm a camera.

LOL

if you can see this site of grace, means you just finished one of the best experiences in gaming.
with Shadow of the erdtree, Fromsoftware have performed greatness

For those of you who never played a "souls " game. Play this.
Guys it's not supposed to be hard. You definitely won't need to overthink complex "buulds".

What you can do with Elden Ring is take in a complex and emotional story, painted in a visually stunning way.
Don't worry about invasions. Nobody is going to ruin your game, and they are fun. Don't worry about boss fights. There are millions of players, and many will help you overcome the hardest enemies.

They won't make another Elden Ring. It's super hard to go higher than this.
 
Well i'm done with SMTV:Vengeance now.

got a bit busy ... 119.5hrs 22/24 steam achievement
could not resist in the end ... bought the basic pack for Ult bunny (yeah ... i'm a pervert, to use leather paint for her skin :p ) 3 Ult weapon done, Thunder cage LVL4 unique ability (pic not recent ... now my gear are all in the 57 to 62 lvl) heck that MG is more something you would see in SWTOR/KOTOR :love: ahah
2074920_34585.jpg2074920_34590.jpg

unlocked 6 total descendant ... farmed Valby because she's the second best one after bunny ...
2074920_34611.jpg2074920_34613.jpg
on that instance (lvl~49 in agna desert) i out damaged 2 lv40 bunny by almost 2m dmg :laugh: at lv21 not a single incapacitation and i assisted 2 downed teammates ...

and now ... once i login i should also have Sharen ready :D
2074920_34615.jpg

lvled Ult Bunny to 40 and then reseted her to 1 adding a hum, what's the name already? rune? ah whatever ... you use an item (take time to farm and get the blueprint ) add a symbol that reduce the cost of same symbol mods and it reset the level to 1 :D

for a nexon game ... it's not a typical nexon game ... ok it's grind heavy but not grind boring :D

Played the Concord beta on the weekend, not enough to want me to buy it, but once I found a character I gelled with I had some fun for sure. Definitely saw a bit of that ridiculous level UE5 facial animation going on too, man that's impressive.

I was genuinely surprised how well it played too being UE5 (specs accurate as per profile), I could run 4k DLAA and get 80-110 fps, and 4k DLSS Q was a locked 120 with headroom to keep it locked flat.
 
Perhaps it's my age, but when a game like Maneater tasks me to attack and eat all the beachgoers in a Jaws style. I hesitate.

Ever hear of "paralysis by analysis" ?
That is how I feel every time I boot up Netflix, or look at my games that is now over 100. Not so much that I'm like "there is nothing to play" (or watch in Netflix's case).....more like I'm literally frozen from trying to figure out which one I want to play. I take too long thinking about this crap, instead of just picking a game and playing it lol

Remember, when you start one you don't stop, too.

lol yes! I'm afraid of what might happen if I were to prematurely stop playing a game prior to finishing it.....the wold might stop spinning or something!

For me, it depends on the game. If that is in character for the player, so be it! But I do try to play "ethically" even in games like Rimworld.
 
Gave Once Human a chance (got to level 25) but god damn does it feel like an incredibly shallow mobile game.

Back to a mix of X4, OOTP, and paradox games.

The best thing to do is to just start progressing by alphabetical or chronological order. If I'm not feeling the game, then I just drop it and add it to the hidden list (I also do that with completed games).

That is the strange thing about the game. It's very much about exploration but the game really wants me to be stationary (I just inherited a colony, and a freighter). I'm exploring the universe!!! And here's a rover for a single planet?
 
LiS prequel & 1 finished to be 9-10/10 in their own style, but 9 bc of the psychokiller in the ending and that bothers me (can't have had a better idea lol)...

LiS 2 is 8-9/10, playing it.

BUT, LiS TC is 0/10, perhaps 1 if they pay me to not get a 0. RT/HDR, but...

Don't feel bad if you do. A poll years ago showed that only about 1/3 of games once started actually get finished for all kinds of reasons. I imagine that a big chunk of those unfinished games is due to them not being worth finishing.
 
My monthly browse through Ubi Connect brought me to Far Cry 3 which is still a great game with the best baddie of all, Vaas Montenegro.
The hours I spent enjoying this game years ago, so now I've started from scratch :)
