Cyberpunk_2077_box_art.jpg

Wanted to play on PC, but it's clear I won't be able to upgrade my system any time soon, so got it on PS4. :P 

Yup, I'm in the same boat. Preordered the PS4 version just now and will eventually upgrade to PS5. It occurs to me that even when I eventually get a new PC, the PS5 hard drive will still be faster and that matters to me more than graphical upgrades.

Yeah, those NVMe drives are insane, they've already spoiled me. Playing Immortals Fenyx Rising I fast-travelled and there was a like 5 second load screen and I was all "what the hell is this?!"

 

I hope that Cyberpunk runs okay on PS4 for you guys, the videos they released of those versions looked not great performance-wise.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim was on sale at GameStop for $30 new. I keep hearing how it's the greatest PlayStation game no one played this year, so I've been looking for a sale, and here it is.

The GameStop sale also had a thing where if you buy a new game for $29.99 or more you get 30% off a used game, and I've been wanting to go back to Death Stranding to finish all the side stuff I left undone. Since I was going to buy 13 Sentinels at that price anyway, I figured I might was well take advantage of the extra deal. I also expect my PS5 won't sound like a jet engine during cutscenes the way my PS4 Pro did.

Some purchases from the past few weeks, I may have posted some of these already but it's all stuff I was going to get during the holiday sale anyway so here it is again.

And that's the last few of the recently released EA titles I was missing. Not sure why they bothered releasing the first Titanfall on Steam since it's MP-only but the bundle with both games was only like 2 bucks more than Titanfall 2 by itself so what the hell. If I fire it up just once to check it out it'll have been worth it, I guess. It's kinda nice to finally fill these holes in my EA library, though. I've been wanting to give Dragon Age II and Dead Space 3 another shot for a while and having to install Origin was just enough of a hassle that I always just ended up saying fuck it.

 

That should be it for me for this sale and, for once, I think it'll actually end up being the truth. Halo MCC alone should keep me busy for months and there's really just nothing else that's tempting me right now. Doom Eternal and RE3 still haven't dropped below 20 bucks so they can wait a little longer.

 

Oh and some highlights from the current Humble Choice. Really glad I never got around to buying the Zwei games because they made this month the best one in quite a while.

I didn't purchase it, just downloaded. But really, stay away from Marvel Realm of Champions.

 

Didn't know much about it and I've been itching for something to dork around with on my phone. I already have Among Us, but that's infinitely better with friends and family. This.... "game" is a dumbed down MOBA with the weakest map design. Just one average sized circle once you exited your team's hallway. Your hero is bland and their entire appearance is based on what gear you get piecemealed after the weak matches.

 

It acts like it has such grand design and gusto to hold your attention, but it's woefully lacking. And they know that you probably want to play as a Spider-Man hero, but that's one of the ones locked behind an in-game currency. Even after you do all the introductory stuff, you'll be short just enough to get any of the three behind the currency pay wall. It reminds me of why I rarely ever play mobile games.

That's a whole lotta RPG gaming you've got ahead of you...

 

Yeah, I'm gonna be chasing that Witcher 3 high for a while, I think. Cyberpunk is great but it's just not scratching the same itch. Not that I'm complaining, though, it's definitely filling the Deus Ex-shaped void in my heart.

 

Although, Witcher 3 also made me realize that I enjoy my gaming time far more when I go for quality over quantity, so buying a bunch of Bioware games may not have been the best strategy here lol...
