Just finished rdr2. 60 hours of pure pleasure, although at first I didn’t think that I would like the game, the theme of the wild west was not very close to me. Now I need to choose what I will play next.

3 was my favorite. New Vegas was ok. 4 was ok. I also wasn't a fan of the settlement building. I generally just did the bare minimum at all of them to make them livable and well defended.So, after being like forever in my library and something I'll eventually play, I've finally sunk a chunk of time into Fallout 4. I'd say about 6 hours.
All i can say is so far I am HATING it. I really liked 3 like 9.0/10 at the time. I enjoyed New Vegas tho not my clear favorite like it seems to be for many. So I thought I was going to like this but so far, hell nah.
The graphics suck.
The enemies are lame, repetitive and spongey.
The focus on sanctuary building seems lame as fuck because the stuff you create just looks like lops of shit from a junkyard.
The story outside of the intro seems repeat lame faction fare. So yawn, I don't give a shit about any of the characters.
The item collecting seems outrageous, I already bypassed the stupid carry weight limit before slowdown gimmick. Who the fuck wouldn't for a game that seems so centered on exploring around to collect little stupid pieces of shit so you modify your shit nail firing bullet sponge weapons and armor.
Throwing gernades suck. Picking locks is the same crappy minigame as always. Debugging PCs the same issue.
The perks system seems overwhelming and too many perks/iterations.
Dialogue and dialogue options all seem rather cosmedic or different ways of saying the same shit to get to the same place.
Tell me bros, I know it was popular enough many of u played, is it worth sticking with, does it somehow get better? Or should I maybe look for console modes to get overpowered weapons and breeze through it?
Right now I'm like rating 3.5 out of 10 which is territory so low it's rare I ever get there for anytnign I play.
Sweet. Borderlands is an all time favorite. For that Rescue Roland mission I recall looking up online advice for it. Kept trying and for some reason the game let me rescue him after many tries lol. Oh and fuck Handsome Jack. Hate that smarmy mofo.Well, I couldn't resist, even though "Yakuza:LAD" still has me. I got the big old fuck off "Pandora's Box" collection for a whole $40. Pretty cool deal, for anyone that bought any previous entry of Borderlands. Well done, Gearbox. Pretty damn generous. You get literally EVERYTHING in the deal. All BL related games(including the Telltale stuff), all DLC's...all everything. Pretty crazy deal.
Anyways, I hopped right into "Borderlands 2" annnnnd...I forgot just how punishing this game can be to solo players. That "Rescue Roland" mission is damn near impossible without a team, and I couldn't be arsed to jump in with rando's to get past it. I also picked a bad class(the Mechromancer), and just wasn't feeling it(should've started with the turret guy). Ah' well, it gives me an excuse to hop into the DLC for BL3 that I missed out on
I'm enjoying it a lot. Very replayable, fun mixture of luck and skill and just solidly made.Has anyone tried the new roguelike poker game, Balatro?
Even though the movie trailer got kind of a negative reception, I thought it looked alright. It's not like "Borderlands" is Shakespeare or anything, so it might be right up Eli Roth's alley, with the juvenile humor and ultra violence. I'm cautiously optimistic.Sweet.

With your Mechromancer Class try out variations. Look online for the best builds. It's easy to change them and doing that will vastly improve its power. Yes, Turret was my favorite class. Once you start loading up with missiles and defensive shields it becomes formidable. You will love the DLC for 3. May be my favorite part of game play. Don't skip the 2.5 either. Bouncing around gravity free is a blast.
Looking forward to the feature film. The teaser trailer got me pumped.
Hopefully they make a Borderlands 4 some day.
LOL totally agree. The writing was okay in 1, better in 2 and meh in 3. Gameplay in 3 is smooth like butter. Yeah I won't care what basement dwelling critics say about the movie. I'm gonna like it while eating popcorn & watching splosions.Even though the movie trailer got kind of a negative reception, I thought it looked alright.

Gave the Mech Girl a start on BL3, and I'm already hooked again. As much as I like the other two, I think they nailed the gameplay the best in BL3. Everything is just so crisp and fluid, whereas in the other two, you felt a bit like a slow tank. The drops are way better as well, even if the "Legendary" drops get a bit too frequent. If only the writing was up to snuff. Although, I don't mind the main antagonists as much as others. They're appropriately annoying, and making them obnoxious streamers seems apt. WAY too many (literal)poop jokes and try hard rambles, though.
Has anyone played the newest Robocop game on steam and or steam deck?
Played on PlayStation and a had a good time. Lots of funny, deadpan one-liners and like Z says, the whole game plays like a love letter to the RoboCop franchise and not a cash grab.Has anyone played the newest Robocop game on steam and or steam deck?
Tetris Effect last night. Amazing game. The music, sounds and interaction with movement and piece play is out of this world. Especially after a couple of nice bong rips.
Totally. I'll get on a couple day kick of it and may be another six months before get the urge. But it's been generally with me my whole life since OG Tetris came out in mid 80s and this version certainly paid nice homage to the game. Well made for sure.Have had this game for years and played it quite a bit too. Good stuff and also dug the ambience! Tetris just never goes out of fashion and really taps into something primal in our brains.

If you say I'm extremely late to the party by just now playing South Park The Stick of Truth you wouldn't be wrong.
A week or two ago I was thinking 'Video Games have as many genres as movies, actually more, but the comedy genre in games are extremely underdeveloped.' Couldn't say I ever played a 'comedy game' or one that was worth remembering... and then I was looking on my backlog of games I've been meaning to get around to playing, and saw both Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole.
Just finished Stick an hour ago, and I've never laughed as much playing a game, ever. This was pure nostalgia of the goldenage of South Park, the funniest series ever. It was like I was playing through the second South Park movie, the original about to celebrate its 25th Anniversary.
Three flaws though, one not really being a flaw.
*Gamers who aren't familiar with the entirety of South Park's library of episodes up until the game's release, or even half, are going to be lost amongst the constant references to the classic episodes. I was hoping since they're the boys (characters of the game/series) were playing fantasy, there were going to be more LOTR references like the classic 'Backdoor Sluts 9' episode which is widely regarded to be in their top 5 episodes ever... like how Fractured But Whole obviously makes references to super hero movies. This is a South Park game exclusively for South Park fans, but as a South Park fan I was loving it.
*The RPG-turn-based gameplay was extremely rudimentary. I thought at first only having one companion was just for the tutorial, or first act of the game... but nope, its just you, the 'new kid,' and one other character. Was sure it'd become a 3-character squad at one point.
At some point I realized I was just playing for the South Park setting, characters, and story... so I put the difficulty on Easy.
*I'm very glad I never bought Stick when it was new and waited for a deep discount for both games, because its both very short & has zero replay value.
I will say when I realized I was entering the finale... I was relieved... but the finale was both fun and satisfying.
