TheMightyEthan Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Got inspired by Across the Spider-Verse to go back to the Insomniac Spider-Men, so I bought both of them on Steam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 I already owned Yakuza 7 since a friend gifted it to me a while back but rebuying the Legendary Hero Edition was the cheapest (and only) way to get all the DLC. If only Steam had features to help in cases like this like, idk, complete-the-bundle or upgrade paths for game editions... Normally, I'd say I'm not planning on buying anything else of the remainder of the sale but at this point I know better than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I've picked up a few things since last I posted here: All of them were sub $5 though, so I think I did pretty well. I've actually already finished both Yes, Your Grace and That Which Gave Chase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Back for another round! Mass Effect and RDR2 were total impulse purchases. Can't wait to finally check out The Quarry, though. I love that kind of 80s horror movies, so the trailers made it look right up my alley. Just couldn't justify paying full price for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Alright, I need to stop for real now lol. I only bought Reverie because NISA does this annoying thing of having extras that are only available during launch week. I don't mind supporting Trails day one and I usually regret it if I miss out on the launch week bonuses but in this case I'm not going to be playing it anytime soon. I've got the two Crossbell games to play first and then Cold Steel III and IV (probably gonna need to replay at least CSII while I'm at it). Got CSIII as well because why not at this point. So now I'm only missing CSIV and Nayuta. I think I just added like six months worth of games to my backlog just over the past week... I can't wait to be caught up on Trails and Yakuza because I'm so far behind on both that it feels like I need to focus on those series to the exclusion of almost everything else lol.

toxicitizen Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) I've noticed the rubber on my Xbox controller's analog sticks is so worn down it's become completely smooth on top. The blue plastic underneath has even become visible on the left stick. So I figured it's only a matter of time before it starts breaking apart entirely and the stick just becomes annoyingly uncomfortable to use like my old Steam Controller. I briefly looked into buying replacement parts but the options I found seemed kinda crappy and I don't really feel like opening up the controller to mess around in there anyway. So that flimsiest of excuses was enough for me to get a brand new one. I'd been wanting to get a white one for a while now to go along with everything else in my current setup and I've always thought those Elite ones looked really cool. Haven't had time to actually try it yet but but I took a quick look when it got here and the first impression was pretty good. I'm especially digging the d-pad. Didn't realize it would be magnetic. I kinda wonder if it popping off during play will be an issue but it also gives it a much "looser" feel, which makes me think it might actually be a solid option for fighting games because it makes circular motions feel way more natural. Had to get the components pack separately because the white model is only available as Core but it definitely seems to have been worth it. At least this time I'll have spare parts for the analog sticks and it also comes with a charging dock, which is neat. I've been using the play and charge kit for my regular controller because I'm not gonna keep buying batteries. I mean, what am I? A caveman?! But my experience with it hasn't been the best. It doesn't seem to hold its charge for very long (and it almost always decides to die when I'm in the middle of a boss fight!) and I always need to fiddle with the cable and the pack itself before the LED will turn amber to indicate it's charging. I end up playing wired most of the time because of it. So yeah, really glad to have a controller with a built-in battery again. It's kinda baffling that it still isn't standard for Xbox controllers... Oh and I'm finally playing Trails from Zero and fully back on the Trails hype train, so I just had to get these. Not opening them just yet for fear of spoilers... Edited July 25, 2023 by toxicitizen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hell yeah, I love the white ones, if my Elite ever starts having problems that's definitely the one I'll get. FWIW I've never had a problem with the dpad coming off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I've never had a problem with the dpad coming off. Yeah, I wondered about it at first because of how much the opposite side lifts when you push a direction (and because it actually came loose during shipping) but now that I've actually played with it for a few hours I can tell it's anchored in there pretty well and won't come off from normal use. This has to be the best d-pad I've ever used, I just can't get over how good it feels to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 The Expanse: A Telltale Series Been looking forward to this one, just was waiting to make sure that nuTelltale didn't shit the bed, and early reviews are pretty positive (around 80) so I snagged it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Meta Quest 2 I've been playing Astro Bot Rescue Mission on PSVR (which is a damn good game) and it's been making me think about how cool VR really is, but I've become increasingly aware of the limitations of PSVR. I considered getting a PSVR2, but ultimately decided to go with this because it's substantially cheaper, has nearly as good a screen, and will work with my PC so there's a lot bigger library to draw from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 I honestly love my Quest 2. I jailbroke mine but even if you don't there's a ton of games for it and you can also play Alyx if your PC is up to snuff. Meta also started doing a subscription service kinda like PS+ where you can pay 7.99 a month and get two games every month that would normally cost much more than that. You picked a good time to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 You have to install Oculus ADB drivers, make an Oculus developer account so you can access developer features, and then use one of the sideloading programs available online.

Mister Jack Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Everyone is sucking off Baldur's Gate III right now, but I don't want to drop full price on it before I even know if it's the kind of game that will appeal to me. Got this for less than 4 bucks on CD Keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'm enjoying clockwinder, but it is a bit twee and saccharine. Reminds me somewhat of Maquette(sp?) in its style and storytelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I can see that. I was just appreciating that it's not beating me over the head with how metaphorical its premise is like every other indie puzzle game I've played recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a wild as hell cameo at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Got the premium edition because there was a decent deal and I want Homelander. Also, with Premium you get the game a week earlier. So that's nice. Not so nice is the fact that the pre-order beta isn't available on PC... I know the series has a history of shit ports (although MK11 seemed pretty decent to me) but I really hope this one at least has full crossplay with consoles. Like, that's literally a basic QoL feature for the genre at this point. Almost as important as rollback netcode. Although if not, then at least this is a game that's likely to have a fairly healthy playerbase for years to come even on PC.

Yeah, it just feels like they use the same voice actor (or give the same direction) for all these games. It's all soft spoken, slightly dreamy/wistful delivery of lines that amount to "When I was a kid I told that person I hated them when we had a fight. I regret that now." and then some solid, reliable bloke will pop on the line being all "Hey, hope everything is ok, it's important to explore all your emotions while fixing the pump that is powered by berries for reasons." Basically, I kinda miss GLADOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
