i guess ... some modders do awesome jobs on followers ... which is nice ... since i never got Jane Doe in ZZZ or Yae Miko in Genshin Impact :laugh: (not much lore friendly but they are well made and i had to test them to endorse them on Nexus, and Yae is full custom voiced )

Confirmed a few hours ago NG+ will be part of a free update post-release for Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Yeah just saw their video, still pretty naughty of them. It should just be in the game with no update or whatever patch.
When I heard the guy say it's included I just face palmed.
Well me and my partner are excited for it, all that lovely grinding once again lol.

To be fair they bring these games out pretty fast while putting everyone else to shame. AAAA comments on that video a few minutes after posting were already pretty over the top funny.
(was a good day for humor if you include welp'ing by AC supporters)

It is mighty impressive they somehow release new 1 or even 2 games once a year.
It does put a lot of bigger studios to shame, I mean all they are doing is improving their existing gameplay mechanic and slightly add something new and then new story.
Boom you having a good game.
 
Stalker 2, and found a MSI GPU

I got hooked on the Path of Exile 2. I know it is an early access but that does not diminish the fact the game is pretty good to me.
Too bad I'm stuck at work today cause I would have play the crap out of that game in the morning before my family wakes up. ( need to wake up early to get some free time. 6am it is baby)
Obviously, the game has some flaws as any game but damn it looks cool and it plays like a charm on my 6900xt. And I really dig the new additions to the game vs 1st installment. Spell casting while moving is awesome and doge skill added. Makes it more strategic than the first installment.
I will get some screenshots or a short video when I get home some time in God knows how many hours heh.
 
There are some fiendish traps and puzzles in TRIII, mainly rolling boulders when you least expect them and poor Lara gets flattened :D
But I'm not sure what these two geezers are doing in suspended animation, it's that long since I played it.

Hitman WoA trilogy. It's good, it's incredible what IOI achieved while their existence was at stake.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 rerelease for 3DS. Curious hybrid of SMT combat and tactical grid movement. Too much overly cringey teenage anime stuff in its story and characters but nevertheless amusing and fun enough.

Some words of wisdom from the demons - one of the mods could have this in their signature!

So how are you enjoying it. By the screenshots I would say a lot.
The older I grow, the more I appreciate cinematic values in games. The story, dialogues, the characters, the cutscenes - how a game is told, not how it's played, so to speak. This is really mediocre in that regard. Not terrible, but a waste of potential. Really hard to get into the character, hope it'll get better. But the atmosphere and gameplay are cool, so I'd give it a pass.

Their 2017 management buyout from Square Enix was a bold move and avoided the company being sucked into the Embracer milieu.
Back to topic...
 
Just made it though the prologue, I'll need to play more, but time flew by quickly while playing.
It does nail the 'Dark' at least...

I've been on the fence of buying/trying that game for a long time now, keep us posted :)

Thanks for reminding me... this clusterf of a purchase is now actually done :) Time to pick up the full deal (WoA Deluxe)
 
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Been years since I completed Human Revolution, but I really enjoyed that game.

The problem with all Shock-likes is they're just bad games at the start by their very nature, basically just 3rd rate sneak-shooters, until you start getting the upgrades and unlocking skill trees and getting options for dealing with scenarios in creative ways.

The game also suffers a bit from low quest density, you really only have your main quest and maybe 2-3 side quests going at any time so if you get stuck somewhere or you want to do something different, there unfortunately doesn't seem to actually be much to do (although each quest is reasonably involved).

I'm about 10 hours into DXMD and I finally have enough stuff to feel the snowballing fun so I'll stick with it.

Beautiful game too, and runs like absolute butter on my 6800xt (170fps+).

Great example of diminishing returns...

Going nostalgic with FlatOut 2 (2006)

Forza Horizon keeps crashing my computer. Interrupting my run of absolutely obliterating people in Hide and Seek. Which was getting a bit lame since I'm fairly sure PG staff sicced the M$ AI monster on me that morphs to fit any way I find around the obviously increasing performance limitations. Gotten to the point I just target head on collisions instead of chasing anymore. When the game is actually capable of running.

Keep wanting to pick up FlatOut 2 if the perpetual licensing on Nickelback would ever run out.

I did not play this one to be honest but I like these types of games.
There are two that I have nowadays in my collection. Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark and Gloomhaven. The latter one is based on a board game. I didnt have much time to explore the 2nd game but it seemed ok and a bit hard.

Huh, I didn't know it was them. I always turn off in-game music.
The bundle of 4 games including the horrid #3 was cheaper than just the single game.

Fell Seal looks interesting, might check it out, thank you
