Depends on timing, really. I'm on the docket for MHW Iceborne on PS4 and Trails of Cold Steel III.Will you get to review Crystar as well? I hope the port is good, and doesn't include resolution lock like Death End.

Can't continue a mission in Tropico 6 because of a bug.
And that's just 3 missions in, guess that's an uninstall

Started Mirror's Edge. Tutorial was a bit annoying but once I cleared the first mission it kinda clicked with me. Enjoying it so far, but I wonder if GOG Galaxy's overlay is not loading for the game?
Yeah that minigame is brutal. I've tried 4 times and haven't even managed easy.
Speaking about Kiwami 2, the port really needs a few patches.
The SSAO looks really spotty and the DoF is way too much (and there's no option to turn it off <.<). It looks fine in Sotenburi, but walking around in Kamurochi is like being near-sighted without glasses..
The physics are apparently also affected by higher FPS.
I'm not really worried given SEGA's history, but it might not be a bad idea to wait a bit before continuing.
Mirror's Edge is one of my all time favorites and I have over 300 hours on the PS3 version. Its a little rough around the edges and its pretty short but its such an original game that absolutely resonated with me.
Also the guns suck and I recommend completely avoiding using them. (Except for the server room in chapter 9 because you literally need them there)

You don't need them there either. It's just really hard without shooting. The only place you need to use a gun is that one sniper shot.
I don't know if you are using a controller, but in my experience (as I completed both the Steam and Ps3 version), mouse and keyboard will give you a better sense of freedom and momentum.
Edit: Also as these fine folks above me are saying, avoid guns. At all costs!

No way. Runner Vision is iconic and compliments the aesthetic. It loses a lot of the soul without runners vision.
The runners vision in mirrors edge catalyst is garbage though
Eh I kept the option for seeing red indicators. For some parts I am able to find a preferred path for me even with it on.
Mirrors Edge is perfectly fine on a gamepad though. Standard X360/DualShock, not even Steam Controller needed.
The level design in Catalyst isn't as good either, so while Runner Vision isn't great, sometimes I felt it was the only way to find out how to get through a certain point.No way. Runner Vision is iconic and compliments the aesthetic. It loses a lot of the soul without runners vision.

I have Mordhau to play and Rage 2 coming, but here I am looking at Risk of Rain 2, thinking of pulling the trigger.
Adding to that, I'm playing this stupid Assassin's Creed mobilecashgrab game, and it kinda has me wanting to pick up Ass Creed Odyssey, even though the last one I touched was part of Unity. I have Origins from the Humble monthly but I like the idea of a full-on embrace of fantasy via Greek mythology.
And here's the thing: Humble is running a promo where, if you spend enough money to collect 6 stamps ($30.00) you can get a $30.00 discount off of a year of Humble monthlies. That would actually incentive me into buying any of the above games I don't need yet want to get, but the stupid fucking promo is only for new subscribers.
Anyway, what do you think? Is Odyssey better than Origins? Is Risk of Rain 2 still hot?

Yeah I platinumed Catalyst and never touched it again. I can rant about how disappointing it was but I will abstain.
But how the hell did they go open world but manage to make the game more linear than the original?
Holy shit at F1 2019 requiring 80GBs. Pre-order price is good though, might bite it. Either it or Vampire Bloodlines 2.
This background from Kiwami 2 looks so good holy moly.

oh dayum ... that looks great!
As did I, but I felt the game went on a lot longer than it needed to. It was fun, but uh, yeah. That wookie rescue felt completely unnecessary and the Wookies, well, let's just say I don't feel like I would ever need to let the Wookie win
I wish it had been truly open world and less.. i dunno, mini hubs. It felt more open in the original, imo, simply because the backtracking made me realize just how small the sections actually were, whereas the original game was mostly forward progress level by level
I saw that KOTOR was free for Discord Nitro subscribers and didn't realize even Discord Store has Cloud Saves.
Discord has Cloud saves?!?!?!? You would think they would do more advertising about that since it puts them ahead of.... other storefronts these days.

... and they only take 10% too, unlike other greedy stores taking 12% for absolutely nothing
Catalyst was such a disappointment. The "semi" open-world wasn't enough to try something really different, but it still made the course/level design way inferior than the original.
All I wanted was more Mirror's Edge.... linear but very well made levels with a very unique art style. And it would probably would be cheaper to make than what we got.
And now I want to install and re-play the first one... but I have so many games installed that I'm already struck by indecision: "what do I play now?" ...and end up just buying more games.

Cloud saves are one of the biggest examples that shows how EGS has no planning behind it besides "hurt steam". Such a basic feature and is not hard to implement. Well... it is on their roadmap for this month. Then every developer will probaly have to patch their games - got to work for the next moneyhat.
I think I eventually got the easiest one but yeah after that it was impossible. Who knew pissing would be so difficult.
Just came back from watching Detective Pikachu, I liked it a lot.
Loved the entire concept of Delta Squad, even kind of enjoyed the goofy books.
People think the piss filter in Deus Ex HR is "iconic?" 
Literally the first thing I did in ReShade was to get rid of the yellow filter....

Personally speaking I like my Cyberpunk to be a bit more blue than yellow. The biggest problem with Deus Ex HR though is this damn HUD. Playing at 4K makes the HUD super tiny for some reason and it never got fixed?
It is iconic in that it is certainly the most recognized thing about the game. Everyone who has seen the game remembers that filter.People think the piss filter in Deus Ex HR is "iconic?"

That is a TOTALLY separate argument from whether or not it is GOOD. IMO it's terrible, but it isn't unplayable. I definitely played it that way near release. However, on subsequent playthoughs in later years, hell yeah get rid of it and crank up the ReShade or w/e.
Such a stark difference playing Borderlands 1 GOTY to Borderlands 2. I just completed the first area and I've never encountered a dull moment, something that happened barely an hour in on BL2. And that's not counting the 'lol so random XD' humor of BL2. Claptrap is actually funny in the first one, as it is a more deadpan humor than the obnoxious lines they gave him on the sequel.

Inspired by this, I looked up Epic roadmap again, all of features that originally we're april when roadmap was released, and now some again moved to June or July.
I saw that KOTOR was free for Discord Nitro subscribers and didn't realize even Discord Store has Cloud Saves.
That makes them taking 7 months to add playtime tracking to client. (While they internally already track it for refunds). if it doesn't get delayed again.
Latest "updates" (each line is separate update), from last month to this day:
So basically they fixed some bugs (not listed) and added supports for future improvements. (download system got support for two future improvements, when they actually ship those)
But none of user facing features that would bring EGS closer to Steam.
Death Mark is an interesting mix of Visual Novel, Point and Click Adventure and Survival Horror. While the "one monster per chapter" thing has been done in the past, the presentation is still quite good. The ambient SFX is good and features a great number of body horrors. Puzzle solving wasn't obnoxious since the game left plenty of clues and item combining/combat is pretty straight-forward. The artwork is striking and best to be played at night, in the dark.
They're so full of shit. The entire reason they released this roadmap was because people were tearing them apart because of their lack of features and with the roadmap they and the defenders could point at it and say "yeah, it's lacking a lot right now, but look at what we've planned and how fast we're going to implement this!", effectively drowning out the "nay-sayers".
And look at where we are now. Nothing they've announced for April was implemented. They've pushed everything back in favor of not-clearly-specified other stuff. Wouldn't even surprise me if they're not managing anything on the roadmap in May either because they have to work on other stuff.
And they were probably very much aware of that when they came up with it. Sure they're going to get backlash for missing the milestones, but they can always point to the roadmap saying everything is subject to change and give vague non-answers regarding priorities or whatever.
And the backlash now is not as big and doesn't hurt them as much as back then.
I hate this disingenious company so much. I hope this endeavor leaves them with eggs on their face.
Battle.net client, uplay, gog galaxy and steam have a screenshot hotkey.
Origin still doesnt have one in 2019 :v

Yeah, I had to add Anthem to Steam to take screenshots when I played it back then. Ridiculous.
Any opinions on Trials of fire?
Seems a mix between a tactical boardgame and a deckbuilding one

I played it around an hour and it was ok. The big problem with this game is that there isn't a lot of content, it's basically several stages and that's it. They had had plans to add content but months ago the developers posted that the low sales left them in a bad financial situation so no more content.
Yeah I think the only games that are up in the air right now are Ubisoft's. No one seems sure what's going on there after the 1 year is up.
