Dragon's Dogma 2 is quite flawed but very fun, much like the first game.
I was going to write "Please write some impressions when you play this as I have it on my wishlist" and it turns out that I own it. I have no idea when or how I bought it.
I am still using the first generation Xbox one controllers for the past 7 years... To be fair I always used it wired because no battery is needed.

Discussion - What are you currently playing? (Week 15 of 2024)
New week, new thread! What are you playing? Continuing Ace Attorney 6, I finished 6-2 and 6-3 during the week. Both cases are as great as I remember. Characters, twists, pacing... everything is excellent. Man, I love this game. I also put some time into Future Cop: LAPD, a game from the PS1...

I bought an 8bitDo Ultimate Wireless that comes with a Charging Dock included a year ago after my Steam Controller broke (RIP 
) and have had 0 issues and it's very convenient. Had 0 issues with my Steam Controller too, wireless or wired other than having to change batteries every now and then.
) and have had 0 issues and it's very convenient. Had 0 issues with my Steam Controller too, wireless or wired other than having to change batteries every now and then.I've somehow played it 60 hours in a bit over two weeks. It feels like a janky eastern European RPG (and I mean that in an endearing way) but with good combat. While there are plenty of flaws, if it simply had more stuff (more monsters, locales and more interesting loot) then it would be a top notch game. Regardless, it's probably the 2nd best game I've played this year behind FF7 Rebirth.
Use it wired, don't use bluetooth or use the Microsoft dongle.
Works fine on my end both wired and wireless.
For PC I have gone 360 > Xbone where the USB port burned somehow and now doesn't turn on > Xbone but the sticks have peeledI bought 1 controller my entire life and all these years later it still works
Either I'm extremely lucky with my hardware or you're beating yours with hammers if they need so much replacement and tinkering
I also got a PS5 controller to emulate the zelda games (lol). I just don't like it as much as the Xbone controller, so I'm sticking with it.
Oh yeah, I also got a Steam Controller which I only used a couple times. Should still work.
Is it politically incorrect to play with mouse and keyboard now?

Rockstar has pretty much ported everything to PC over time.
I don't see why RDR1 doesn't get ported as well.
It may not be this August since last years version was the PS4/Switch version lol.
So they still have current gen consoles to release it on and ofc Rockstar Social Club + EGS garbage exclusivity could cause Steam version to not release until next August.
But its gonna happen. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't. In the past people said they lost the code to the game or it was dev hell or some other bs excuse...but it was clearly not true as the game exists just fine with last years ports. Maybe they'll even put in some good effort for a nice pc port after all these years. If GTA6 gets delayed that could be an important title to push in the meantime. They'll do a bundle with RDR2 n everything most likely.

Been trying a few PS3 games I've been wanting to replay on the Steam Deck.
Not bothering with stuff that obviously won't run of course.
Heavenly Sword seems to run perfectly (except for that crazy intro segment) but unfortunately it crashes a lot. Not a problem with the Deck, apparently RPCS3 compatibility still needs work.
Ar No Surge seems to run perfectly, feels like a native game.
Still bummed that Puppeteer runs poorly.

Feels like square just can't be arsed to get permission to do it from Disney because that would take effort.
This should be interesting:

That's what furious yachting brings you.
He's probably been on Mounjaro/Ozempic/Trulicity/Wegovy. He could afford it and get doses before everyone else since he's rich.
Ozempic is meant as a drug for type 2 diabetes. I am currently on the waiting list for it but due to the weight loss aspect of it, it’s very difficult to keep in stock over here.
They work by reducing how often you feel the need to eat, so it's purely behavioural from what I understand. The "issue" is that this effect is also tied to taking the drugs, so if you stop taking them and don't fundamentally change your diet, you will just go back gaining weight.
Good for him. He's still a young-ish dude and should take care of himself.
Finishing up MGS2 and just did the naked Raiden Arsenal gear section.
Don't care what anyone says....it will always be the greatest sequence in video game history. The writing and story telling between Raiden, Rosemary and Campbell leading up to all of this was so funny.
Now just have the Metal Gear fight and Solidus which is pretty tough on hard difficulty with only 3 rations. Tho the extreme difficulty will be even harder from what I remember.
Also......"No more questions.... We have rosemary" will always make me laugh lol. sogood.jpeg
I will say playing through this classic as an older gamer now kinda makes me realize a few things about this game.
1st - It makes sense the simulation goes to shit when you are on Arsenal Gear and you are underwater. That is something i never realized as a little kid and teenager when I played this.
2nd - I couldn't help but think of PHYSINT while playing this. I really hope Kojima isn't making this new stealth action game for the sake of making it. I really hope he has some clever ideas and goes all out. Don't hold anything back. Because MGs2 is such a creative title. Its like the game is segmented into creative game design across dozens of sections. It really is one of the greatest games ever made. And it elevated Kojima into goat category as a game director.
3rd - And I've stated this before with MGS1...but damn does this play so fucking good on the Deck. The audio and everything is exceptional. These early days PS2 titles are chefs kisses on a handheld.

Been playing Stardew Valley 1.6 recently. Completed the first year (about 25-30 hours) and so far it is as great as ever. The one thing I love about these updates is that they never feel shoe-horned in. If I was playing for the first time I probably couldn't tell you what was new and what has only just been added.
Somethings never change. It always ends up being Abigail as my partner then wife. I always mourn that Robin isn't romanceable. And I always lose the hours playing this game.
On a seperate not, the FFXVI crossover event is live in FFXIV. Lasts to the 8th of May. Worth it for the Torgal mount and minion. Plus the glam is pretty cool (would have preferred Jill's but understandable why they chose Clives). The story is pretty Spoilery, especially considering they haven't released 16 on PC yet. But as I understand it these are all very early game spoilers.

I imagine it's just a photo taken by a professional photographer who slightly touched up the image.That thin Gabe pic looks AI generated
Some of my coworkers and myself got our photos taken like that late last year and it's noticeable how much better we look in the professional picture than other regular pictures.
Is Trulicity one of those new magical GPL-1 drugs ?
I saw a topic on ERA about those and they seem promising, but if Trulicity is one of them, I already have it. And yeah, a pain to get for the last few months.

Supraland 2 is still long way from release
Yes, Trulicity is a GPL-1 drug. I took it for over a year and went from 295 to 268 in weight and my A1C went from a 7.2 to a 6.1. I just started on Mounjaro last month.
Helldivers 2 drives UK March game sales up 26% | UK Monthly Charts
3.65 million PC and console games were sold across the UK during March, an impressive rise of 26% over the same period …
www.gamesindustry.biz
So 2 of the C&C games made the top 10 sales in the UK charts for March. Both beating out Rise of Ronin.
I guess it will be a 2025 game.Supraland 2 is still long way from release
I'm playing Horizon FW right now, and it's really nice that they finally added side quests with actual story content. So much in the first game was just "bring me this" or "go kill that monster", with barely any writing or characters around it. There's still plenty of simple "errands" as the game calls them, but anything called a side quest has actually a lot of unique interesting written content around. Now, would these compare with something like Fallout New Vegas? Hell, no. It's very much just "baby's first quests in an RPG". But I guess it's nice that AAA console RPGs are starting to catch up to Fallout. As in, the first one.
I'd say the third one would be more accurate, although it wouldn't make for such a cool zinger I admit xD
Gearbox Publishing/ Gearbox San Francisco changed their name to Arc Games: Gigantic: Rampage Edition - We are now Arc Games - Steam News
The reason why is because they aren't owned by Gearbox anymore and are still a part of Embracer.

Such a shame TibSun and RA2 have not gotten the remake treatment yet. Seeing RA2 in the top 10 brings back so much nostalgia.
I was about bought helldivers 2 until I saw it uses a kernal level anti cheat
Seriously wtf
