For those that have finished 7:

Resident Evil 7 Man this is a game, been playing in 15 minute chunks then taking a break to do other stuff.

I've been playing for a bit, but man, between how Outlast-ish the start is (I'm told it picks up later on) and how long Ethan takes to do certain things, I'm going to die before I make any progress.

Played the PS5 demo, which is called visual demo, which makes sense, because it's mostly just about how the game will look, rather than an actual demo for Village, the first person perspective is something I'm not used to for these games, and the way your character sometimes interacts with stuff as soon as you get close to it scared the hell out of me. Still, after watching the gameplay trailer, it looks pretty cool, looking forward to it, specially if it ends up being the RE4 of this new generation of RE games.

I may or may not be about to repeat last year's list, this time with the Resident Evil series.

Update (though still decidedly WIP)

HELL YEAH!! Chalice dungeons can rot in hell, specially the cursed defiled bullshit, everything else about this game is fucking awesome! \m/ \m/

I'm on the last one now, and boy, there's challenging, there's hard, there's frustrating, cheap, bullshit, and THEN there's whatever this one is pulling, this is going to be a thing, specially because all my weapons are close range melee.

Is it worse than the defiled dungeon? That 50% decrease in hp is brutal.

Bloodborne I was sure I'd get the Platinum with the last ending missing, turns out, I had completely forgotten about So now I'm back to running chalice dungeons, much as I hate those. On the bright side, beast mode + pizza cutter = RIP AND TEAR. Bosses just melt even on NG+. Genshin Impact Got Ganyu! Been levelling up my team, traveller can now reach 60, though that's going to take a while, been completing some other quests too, current event might be a bit too much for my current party though.

LMAO, As expected, soon as he was sent back to Mexico we all knew how it would end, he's been set free, with no charges, and now the president is accusing the DEA of falsifying evidence. Also apparently Pompeo and other dudes aren't too happy about the sudden changes to energy investments, which have affected both private and government investments in Mexico, so that's also going to be a thing, maybe, depends on how seriously Bidden and his team want to take this stuff.

That guy is a good way to practice interrupts, though you'll likely die a bunch.

Thank you!

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters This was an awesome DLC, expanding upon the cosmic horror elements and making use of some tropes and locations from other stories, all with the Bloodborne touch. All but one of the bosses really ramped up the creepiness, and the one that isn't that creepy, is still quite the fight. The new OST pieces are amazing, and the weapons are pretty cool, though I was only able to use a couple due to my build being a pure strength one.

WIP That I actually intend to finish this time Already done some more work on it since then, but going slow, meant to be a Summer Artoria drawing, but when I noticed how similar they are, decided to turn it into a Cerea one.

Bright Memory Kinda feel bad for putting this here, it's essentially a demo, that you pay for, takes less than an hour, unless you're aiming to do and collect everything. Specially now that the episodic plan has been scrapped and they're working on a full release some other time, might be better to wait and see how that turns out. That being said, it's fun, like DOOM ETERNAL, it's all about using your guns and movement, alongside some neat skills, to just destroy everything that's in front of you. The blade attack is a skill that has a cooldown but it does some decent damage and the attacks send waves of energy so you can use it from a distance, weapons are limited, you only get 3, your main, secondary and side arm, can't change them, can't pick new ones, can't upgrade them, nothing. But they get the job done. Movement feels pretty good, dodging attacks, using the EMP (which is more of a stun, specially with the time freeze skill), slicing up enemies, then changing guns to finish anything that's still alive, all that's pretty cool, though it does lack the finesse of ETERNAL. The skills you unlock are neat, mostly AOE things, but there are some movement and passive upgrades as well. Looks pretty good, though I had to turn down a bunch of things, and even then my PC struggled in some parts, more modern systems shouldn't have an issue though. The story is... Not there(?) Stuff happens, people show up, people die, you start fighting soldiers in weird Death Stranding-esque armour, next thing you know, other stuff happens and now you're fighting a demonic knight, and uh... Yeah, there's some treasure or something, what little is there seems like little more than a reason to move from one area to another and eliminate everything that moves, except it lacks the basic coherency of other similar titles. Loading screen tips give some more information, but again, hard to connect anything or figure out what's what when everything else is just... there. There are some skins you can unlock, and as you'd expect based on the main character design, they lean more towards the sexy than the badass, would love to see a DOOM collab skin though, that'd be pretty cool. \m/ \m/ Overall, fun, with some minor details here and there, won't fill the ETERNAL hole in your heart though, not even close, wouldn't recommend buying it unless it's on sale and you're really curious about it, we don't know how their full release will turn out, and though I could recommend it if it ends up being more of this but with more polish and stuff, the uncertainty of how things will turn out makes me unlikely to say "go and buy it". Although, if you buy this version you're supposed to get the full release for free, so there's that.

What it feels like going through a certain area in Bloodborne

Only knowledge I had of MM was Spider-Verse so yeah, it was cool to see the differences.

Aristoteles Sandoval, former governor of Jalisco was murdered inside a bar last month, his 15-person security detail wasn't much good, back then authorities talked about how the people working there had cleaned the place before they arrived, recently, the videos were found and shared on the news. After his murder, everyone, waiters, bartenders, manager, everyone, proceeds to clean and remove any evidence, a carpet that covered an entire hallway was removed and disposed of, you know that scene in John Wick, when the dudes go in and clean after the attack on his house? Like that, so far only 4 people have been arrested, laughable considering you can see at least 12 on the videos. Also on December, there was a blackout that left 10 million people across different states without electricity for several hours, the cause? According the CFE and the government, a fire that burned some power lines, oh and renewable energies, right, they blamed this mostly on the fact that renewable energy sources were creating so much electricity it overloaded the system. Recently, CFE came out and admitted the document they showed back then, about the fire, was forged, there was no investigation and while there was indeed a fire, there seems to be no evidence that it played a role on the blackout, instead, they once again blamed renewable energy sources and have declared that multiple plants that generated energy using renewable sources will be shut down in order to prevent this from happening again, coal and gas plants will continue as normal.

Here's how I am starting my year. Spider-Man Miles Morales The way they simplified it, reducing the amount of currencies, gadgets and skills, with a much more clean skill tree was a welcome change. Miles is also a much more fun character, I understand why, and maybe Miles will have to deal with the same stuff later on, but for now, it's pretty cool to see how he handles being Spider-Man and how he handles his normal life.

RIP Alexi Laiho
