toxicitizen Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Between a late port and the EGS deal, this game was super DOA on PC. Which was a bummer since I had been hearing really good things about the console version. Anyway, now that it's getting rollback netcode, I'm willing to give it a shot. It's now or never anyway. It's gotten a small increase in players because of the rollback beta but it's not likely to stay at that level for very long. At 20 bucks for the game + all the DLC chracters, I'll be satisfied if I can get a couple weeks of fun out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 I guess it's samurai week or something... Kinda forgot this was coming so soon. I just got started with Returnal last night and still haven't finished P5R nor Midnight Suns (oh god and a friend gifted me Hi-Fi Rush last week, so I gotta continue that as well lol), so idk when I'm gonna get around to it. But since this one doesn't have any sequel baggage preventing me from jumping right into it, I don't mind supporting it day one. I'll probably just start it whenever I feel like it and just keep bouncing between all of these games for a while, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted March 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Holy cow I managed to clear 10 games on my backlog before buying a new one! Not bad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) I still haven't found the time to start Zero but come on. I can't not get this day one. Maybe now I'll play them back-to-back. Oh yeah, speaking of JRPGs I don't have time to play, there was a sale on Atelier games recently so I spent a hundred bucks cause I have more money than sense lately.

toxicitizen Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I've been interested in it for a while but really couldn't justify spending money on a dead game with no sign of a rollback update. Now that they've confirmed a sequel/update with rollback and crossplay, though, I've been on the lookout for a deal. I'll probably have to pay for the update to Rising but at least now I won't feel like I'm wasting my time on a dead game while playing this.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Sifu (Steam) I'd been toying around getting this game on PC anyway, cause I love it so much and imagine it would feel so good at 120 fps, and then I heard the Kinda Funny crew talking about the new Arenas update, which previously I had had no interest in, but apparently it recreates a bunch of fight scenes from martial arts movies, and now it sounds dope. So that pushed me over the edge (along with finding a key for $50% off). Hell yeah. I also hear it runs well on Steam Deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Can't fucking wait! Fanatical has been running a pretty decent pre-order discount for a while (made even better by the fact that they still don't charge taxes in Canada) and I've been telling myself for a couple months that I should grab it while I still can, just in case. Went for the Ultimate Edition because I don't mind dropping that much upfront on a game I'm most likely going to be playing for hundreds of hours. I just passed the 250 hours mark in SFV and I started playing it years late. And most of that playtime is just from the last couple years, when fighting games finally clicked for me. If Street Fighter 6 turns out even half as good as it looks to be, I'm going to be playing it non-stop for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 The Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock base game is free on Steam right now, and all the DLC is 50% off. I played the base game on PS4 and loved it, so when I saw this I jumped on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Really nice touch opening the delivery box to reveal the picture. Got me excited before I even saw the game. Chose the notebook which looks nice, but it also came with a luggage tag and coin which were free but still I'm less sure of the use of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I didn't really need a new keyboard (although I've started noticing some double inputs on my Logitech one recently so I have a feeling I would have in the near future) but I've been wanting this one for a while and it was almost 100$ off on Amazon + I had 20 bucks of credit I could throw at it on top, so I said fuck it. I mostly wanted a white keyboard to go with the white everything else of my current setup since that was the theme I went for for but this one has the added benefit of being Corsair, so now all my RGBs can sync up nicely. Also, I can finally get Logitech's trash app off of my PC for good! I'm gonna miss the programmable macro keys on the left side but tbh I barely ever used them (I only ever bothered programming like 2 or 3 of them for FFXIV lol). I'll just have to make do with the MMO mouse I bought a while back and also barely used. It has 12 buttons on the side and I only programmed two of them for back and forward when browsing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I recently started using programmable macro keys for the first time ever, and I used them for the incredibly exciting function of setting up a hotkey to enable and disable the RTSS overlay and framerate cap! Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Was feeling too sluggish to play Street Fighter 6 Saturday night so I bought this on a whim. I've been looking forward to it for years since the System Shock games are on that list of classics I've always wanted to play but never got around to. Just about 4h in and so far I'm completely in love with it. It feels old-school but with just enough QoL modernization to not be annoying. I'm really digging the visual style they went with. It looks modern but mostly preserves the original's art direction and the texture have a retro-looking pixel-y look up close. I'm honestly kind of baffled and annoyed that it scored in the 70s with reviewers, tbh. And not just because it was my pick in the pool! It's one of those cases that kinda makes me feel validated in no longer paying attention to game reviewers.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 I'm guessing it suffered with reviewers from being an immersive sim, the Arkane games (pre-Redfall) I don't think ever really got the review love they deserve either. Like Prey is only an 81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 2 hours ago, TheMightyEthan said: Like Prey is only an 81. While I'm personally offended by this, Prey did have some issues with enemy variety and peaking like 5mins into the game (that opening sequence is so fucking incredible that the rest of the game, while fantastic, simply can't live up to it lol). So I can understand that one getting docked a few points by clueless reviewers who can't appreciate one of the few truly good immersive sim when we get one. But man, I really hope the MS acquisition means Arkane will be free to go back to their roots because Redfall feels like the first step taken by many great studios that are no longer with us...

TheMightyEthan Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I've seen lots of reporting recently that Redfall was the result of Bethesda (Zenimax?) management "gently suggesting" that all their devs should work on live service games, and that most of the team actively didn't want to make it, so I'm hoping with Redfall flopping and MS in charge they'll be allowed to go back to what they do best. I'm guessing Deathloop was a (lesser) casualty of the same command. And probably Wolfenstein Youngblood too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
